if your online with the HP engineers know your serial number, product number and product name etc. the problem stated most time leads to the changing of the board which will cost a lot if you have no warranty.

all these wahala from hp?

I am reposting this from another thread in case anyone else is in the same situation :-

This sounds pretty familiar. As far as I recall HP created an advisory about a batch of laptops that were identified to have been manufactured with some power related defects. The full advisory is still available here :-

www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&docname=c01087277">http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&docname=c01087277

And here the symptoms relevant to the dv 6000 series :-

The following symptoms apply to the dv6000, dv9000 and v6000 series notebooks:

*
The notebook does not detect wireless networks and the wireless adapter is not detected in the Device Manager.
*
There is no video on the computer LCD panel or external monitor.
*
The notebook has no power and no active LEDs.
*
The notebook does not start.
*
The battery charge indicator light does not turn on when the battery is installed and the AC adapter is connected.
*
The notebook issues a single beep during boot indicating no power.
*
The external monitor functions but there is no image on the notebook LCD panel.

HPs remedy AFAIK is a 2 year extension to affected notebooks.

I would suggest that you read the limited warranty service enhancement advisory very carefully and then determine based on the symptoms you are experiencing and your laptop serial number if your laptop is elibigle for the 24 month extended warranty.

If your laptop is eligible and I think based on the description of your problem that it might be, then you may be in a position to claim the extended warranty.

All the best,

Brume

PS: it appears the advisory no longer shows the affected serial numbers, but i recall from an earlier post I made on this subject that for the 6000 series the affected serial numbers were :-

xxx625xxxx - xxx726xxxx

See my earlier post here :-

anybody to help me with my hp laptop i am using compaq nc6000 , when i turn it on it gives me i should get a genuine windows can any body help me with the software of the genuine microsoft windows , thanks

What do I do.

I uninstall Avast Antivirus on my Laptop with Viesta O. S. and Install Panda Antivirus, shut down and the system reufse to come up.

Please help.

I am sure there are a number of Vista Gurus in the house.

But you need to provide more granularity/specifics about the problem.

i.e.

[list]
[li]Does this laptop pass the power on self test.?[/li]

[li]Does it begin to attempt the Vista boot, [/li]

[li]What exactly (i.e. errors, etc. ) does the display screen show when you attempt to power up?[/li]

[/list]

etc.

Does this laptop pass the power on self test.?
Does it begin to attempt the Vista boot,
What exactly (i.e. errors, etc. ) does the display screen show when you attempt to power up?
Yes, It pass the power on self test
It attempt the vista boot

It will start the booting process, then the HDD light will go off and it will just remian there.

Can I use Recovery to bring it back to life because all attempt to bring the laptop proof abortive.

There you go. . .

Now lets hope there are some Windows Vista Gurus in the house to step to the plate now that you have provided more specifics. . .

brume2020,

I want to use this precious medium to say a big thank you to you for the information given to me about my HP Pavillion Laptop.

I took it to Redginton, Afprint, Apapa Shodi Expressway, The Board has been replaced and I collected back today.

God bless you greatly. Amen.

As long as you produce the original purchase receipt HP will honour the warranty in Nigeria even if you buy it form the US. The US warranty for pavillons will be honoured by reddington.

What is the part number of your battery?.

IMGD: 440564.003


DO HAVE IDEA HOW MUCH IT WILL COST ME TO GET A NEW ONE?

I will check and holler back.

Er,

That number didnt turn up any results.

I am not sure that is the right part number for your battery.

it should be something like

PN:XXXXXXXX

Please check again and get back.

peace,

Brume

CT:6407202BJUF3WL, SP-440704-001 BATT date code.7j0744

Good Stuff.

Seems like you hit pay dirt on that part number.

Here is your part and its price :-

www2.hp.com/hpparts/Search_Results.asp?cc=US&SearchInc=PartNumber&lang=EN&jumpid=hpr_R1002_USEN&SearchCriteria=440704-001">http://h20141.www2.hp.com/hpparts/Search_Results.asp?cc=US&SearchInc=PartNumber&lang=EN&jumpid=hpr_R1002_USEN&SearchCriteria=440704-001

The price for the original battery with part number 440704-001 from HP is approx $138.65 after tax + US $11.25 shipping or approx $150. Shipping to Lagos will likely cost another $50 i.e. $200 total.

peace
