Hello i have an hp Pavilion dv9000 laptop. I use the a/c power adaptor and place the laptop on a cooling fan tray by Belkin. When I power the Laptop up I get all the blue lights and on the screen it reads the hp Invent screen with the options in the lower left corner to press either (esc) to change the boot order or (F10) to enter setup. Then the screen goes blank but there is a slight glow from the bottom of the screen. And the laptop goes silent ceasing the remainder of the boot-up process. During the early stage of the initial boot up if I do hit either esc of F10 I can get into the screens those two keys offer. Do you have any ideas as to what the problem is? I?m leaning towards the two ram sticks. thank you.
Yes, i would definately try removing the memory modules and blow some forced air into the connectors as well as using alcohol on a q-tip to clean the module contacts before inserting them back into the board. If it still does not properly boot, try removing one module making sure the remaining module is seated into the #1 slot, and reboot. If it does not boot, remove and replace with the other one, leaving that one out, reboot. If, at that time, it boots, you now know which module, if any, are bad.
