There are lots of things that can cause this it is a very common problem on these laptops it could be something as simple as the lid has to be open as wide as you can to get it to start or it could be a faulty graphics card which hp do know about they recalled a lot of these laptops because of this issue,as I said there are too many causes to go through here so if you google pavilion dv6000 lights are on but screen stays black then powers off you will see what i mean,have a look through the various websites that come up and try out the many suggestions on there,Im afraid its hard to diagnose something without having it in front of me so the best thing i can do is tell you where to find the most useful information so you can help yourself.Make sure you try the lid suggestion first because that is the most common reason for this.I think Hp still repair these issues free of charge if you look through the sites you find there is a link in there somewhere to the hp recall centre.Hope you get this sorted and good luck,just sorry its not a sure fix for you.

3 Beeps: Base 64K RAM failure
Explanation: There is a failure of some sort within the first 64 KB of system memory.
Diagnosis: The first bank of memory probably has a bad memory chip in it somewhere. I would suggest trying a different stick of memory. I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/lou_afa492c634393790

try holding the power button in for about 15 seconds and it should go off- if that doesnt work then unplug the power source and remove the battery and that will definately shut it down.

plz try by resitting the ram if you dont know how to open the laptop then i will suggest you to take it to repair shop.

You most likely have a defective inverter that supplies high voltage to CCFL backlight. It is unlikely a faulty CCFL lamp because your laptop is approx 1yr. old.

Connect an external monitor to your laptop and power it up, if you see the normal Windows images then the video card and laptop is OK and the problem is the inverter or backlight.

Dim image and/or dark display on the laptop's LCD screen indicates a faulty LCD backlight and it could be the inverter that supplies high voltage to the CCFL lamp or it is the CCLF lamp is nearly burnt out or burnt out, most likely this is the case.
The inverter can be replaced easily but the CCLF lamp is more time consuming and requires soldering skills.

hi there,

try removing the battery and only use the dc adaptor on it.

please post back here again

Some of the notebooks you need to hold the small button down that is at the side of the keyboard. Some of them have a small little button on the front of the keyboard that turns it on.

Take a look there hard to find sometimes if you need more help let me know.

First verify you keyboard works.

The easiest way to do this is to hit F1 when you see the HP logo.

This shouild take you into setup (bios)

If it lets you in hit F10 and exit BIOS.

Reboot.

Press F8 BEFORE windows starts to load.

Select safe mode.

Once in windows run a system restore.

To access System Restore, go to Start and select Programs, Accessories, System Tools, then System Restore.

Restore your system to a time when it was working correctly.

If there is a lock feature, its probably on it as a function key. (maybe the F1, F2, etc keys?) Function keys are usually a different color and need to be used while pressing the Fn/Function key (could be called something else, just look for something other than shift/ctrl/alt/windows key).

If a program is failing and you want to disable DEP to see if that is the cause. Here are the steps. (Just disable DEP for the program in question… don’t disable it for your whole system.)

1. Click Start
2. Select Control Panel
3. Select System
4. Click the Advanced tab
5. In the Performance region select Settings
6. Click the Data Execute tab in the dialog box that opens
7. Select Turn on DEP for all programs and services except for those I select
8. Click Add.
9. The open dialog box will open. Browse and select your application.
10. Click Open
11. Click Apply
12. Click Ok
13. Reboot

To use a Safe Boot option, follow these steps:

1. Restart your computer and start pressing the F8 key on your keyboard. On a computer that is configured for booting to multiple operating systems, you can press the F8 key when the Boot Menu appears.
2. Select an option when the Windows Advanced Options menu appears, and then press ENTER.
3. When the Boot menu appears again, and the words "Safe Mode" appear in blue at the bottom, select the installation that you want to start, and then press ENTER.

Safe Boot options loadTOCNode(2, 'moreinformation');

• Safe Mode (SAFEBOOT_OPTION=Minimal): This option uses a minimal set of device drivers and services to start Windows.
• Safe Mode with Networking (SAFEBOOT_OPTION=Network): This option uses a minimal set of device drivers and services to start Windows together with the drivers that you must have to load networking.
• Safe Mode with Command Prompt (SAFEBOOT_OPTION=Minimal(AlternateShell)): This option is the same as Safe mode, except that Cmd.exe starts instead of Windows Explorer.
• Enable VGA Mode: This option starts Windows in 640 x 480 mode by using the current video driver (not Vga.sys). This mode is useful if the display is configured for a setting that the monitor cannot display.

You can connect to the Internet using your DSL wireless router by several methods.
1. If your HP has a LAN port the you can connect to your wireless router with a LAN cable (provided you have a spare LAN port on the router.
2. You can use a USB wireless adapter to connect to the wireless router.
3. You can use a PCMCIA wireless card to connect to the wireless router.
Both the wireless USB and PCMCIA wireless adapter are approx. $50, my preference is to use a PCMCIA adapter, it leaves the USB port free for other devices,such as USB memory sticks, especially if the laptop has only one USB port.

you could have a bad battery or power adapter

Sounds like your computer is a old one, or is slow. The problem could be little RAM, which is what the computer calls speed and how fast it will open things, the CPU is too small, which is the main processing unit and causes slow speeds if it is not one of the latest CPUs or your Hard Drive is full and doesn't have enough free room to run anything well. Fist thing i want you to do is run a virus scanner to make sure you have n viruses causing the problem. if its all clear go into my computer, find the C Drive and right click on the icon and go into properties and check its free room. if its less than 250MB delete programs you don't use or don't need anymore. Now go into Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools and open Disk Defragmenter and Click on Defragment to begin the process. This will give you more free room and give it a small boost of speed in opening programs. This can take a very long time, talking hours so best to do it at night. A good way to boost your computers speed is to give it Virtual Memory, Which turns some of your hard drive into RAM. Right Click on My computer>Properties>Advanced and look for Performance and press 'Settings'>Advanced> and find Virtual memory and press change and click on the 'Custom size button' and Put '1024' into 'Initial size(MB) and put '2048' into 'Initial size(MB) and then click set then ok. It may ask you to reset your system. Do this. Now see if your application programs load faster. if not its a hardware problem and take it into a computer Technitian to get some more RAM in it to speed it up.

Hope This Helps

ok, i know this is gonna seem simple and maybe stupid, but i HAVE seen a few people do this before. so i'm gonna say as step 1 here make sure you are not plugging the headphones into the microphone slot and not the headphones slot. they are right next to each other and are very often mistaken for one another. again not tryin to over simplify. if this is not the case, let me know and i'll take you through the next step to figure this out

have you checked to see if the driver is there
