My HP DV2000 has this problem,I recently sent it for repairs because it would not display,upgraded it from Vista to Windows 7,then I when I power it,every light on the board comes on but the display will not show,in the background you would hear the windows 7 loading but the screen is blank. After the upgrade the display was working perfectly and I even installed some new programs on it,and after use i shut it down,only for me to turn it on and the display will not show again. Please what can be done to rectify the problem.

Secondly the laptop gets hot after about 20-30mins of usage. What can be done about this?
Help needed asap.
Thanks

Your system has got a VGA problem.If its a AMD system you might be lucky to get solution but this depends on the level of the VGA error.A reflow of the graphic chip might just work out fine.
Secondly about the excessive hotness,i hope the cooling fan is running well enough and coolant paste is applied to your processor? if so,then its a more technical error needing technical attempt.

@ chux76 the INVIDIA graphics chip on dv2000 is complex so,difficult to fix but if you have not worked on the board before,a reflow can be done on the chip but if otherwise just change the motherboard.Moreover by experience,Intel boards VGA error hardly respond to repairs except if handled by a more technical person.Cheers.

@Sourcetech
Tnx 4 d incisive explanation. I have worked on the motherboard before and also the Display problem happened sometime ago and was fixed when i sent it for repairs,but I am surprised when the display wen blank again. I am now skeptical of fixing it again,with the fear that it might go blank again. What is the probability that if it is fixed,it might not occur again?
Secondly if i want to sell it off,how much do you think i can get for it?because I am contemplating selling it off and getting another Laptop,this DV2000 wahala wan give me Hypertension.

do you want hp compaq then add 35,000 with your system

@Enquirydon

@ chux76 selling your dv2000 may not be bad but not falling victim of another problematic system is important cos every marketer wants to sell their products so,if you had a choice of a system get me informed to guide you,cheers. sourcetechkpals@gmail.com or 08038024845
