    Same Problem for me. Mine will not turn on at all. It is 18 months old. HP told me the motherboard goes bad when the power jack goes. It will cost about $450 and I know a lot of people who this happened to with this model. I don't now what to do any more. It has really pissed me off.

Does Hp screen come on? If not I doubt its the hard drive. I had the same problem. But I did a reflow.. (not smart) I was excited when it got me to windows. But it still crashes. Now Ive taken it apart at least 4 times addinx copper and silver compound. And checking connections. Obviously I'm in way over my head. Now it won't start for anything. Another reflow did nothing. My advice. Reseat the ram and do a hard reset ( take out battery and unplug ac power. Press and hold power for 30 Sec or more. Plug ac only in. Leave battery out. Press power.) If this does nothing. Then its definatley your nvidia chip or motherboard. Don't make my mistake. Take it to a pro or scrap it

Hard drives are cheap. Find out what type of drive this supports (i.e. ATA or SATA), and buy a new drive. They're quite easy to replace, too. You'll just need a recovery CD to re-install your OS (operating system) after you put in your new drive.

At boot up I get the XP loading then stops. I get the blue screen of dealth. I placed the hard drive in another HP Pavilion dv 9000 and it works find. So, can I fix it or get a new motherboard

1. Try to clear all the dust by using blower and not sucking section. If possible use soft brush to clear any hard dust.
2. Try removing memory and replacing it after cleaning the slots.
3. Remove the processor and replace it in position, at the time of replacing even clean the heat sink compound and apply new heat sink compound.
After 1 and 2nd step try turning it on. It it does not help then only try the third step

I have a hp pavilion dv 1659 us (dv 1000) the sata drive goes bad

It will recognize the new drive if you were able to "migrate" your data from the old drive. If not, you can clean install by booting from an optical drive (changing your boot order at start-up) and using a new OS disk or your recovery disks. You might be able to perform a remote partition & format and install from one drive to the other with USB external enclosures for each drive and another computer (depending on the 100G drive's condition). I hope this helps.

Need to reload windows vista

Reboot and as soon as it starts to boot up repeatedly hit the F8 key until you see it come up to a screen with options. Select the repair option and from there you can select to restore to factory settings.

HP dv9000

 Hello jarkk, I believe your problem is with your backlight inverter. the hard drive should be installed for this process of checking it on an external monitor. with the hard drive removed it will not boot to the operating system. with the drive in, use the external monitor. if the monitor works when plugged into the external monitor plug, this will eliminate a bad video card. if the screen is still black on the laptop screen, replace your backlight inverter. the last case cenario is to make sure your backlights are not burnt out.

Factory settings

If windows still boots ( and the original hard drive is still in the computer) you can click the start button and find the HP Recovery Manager under the All Programs list. It is probably tucked away under one of the HP tabs.

If windows doesn't boot, and you still have the original hard drive you can press F11 when your first turn it on at the HP logo screen. It should start the recovery program. (The F key can be different on different laptops but most recent HP's are F11)

Be careful, doing a System Restore will erase all your Data, so backup anything important!
