HP Pavilion does not Boot AT ALL!!
 |
Nice guesses, all wrong
For No Video
Typical problems with the DV6000 is a FET PQ52 near the coin cell. Especially if you have the Athlon64 with nVidia graphics.
For No Boot but lights (different if battery is in)
PQ1 or PD3

First thanks to reen for bringing this problem up..
I have the same exact problem as her with a HP dv6409wm part of the dv6000 series.
I just tried the link everyone provided and much thanks for saving me the time looking for it..
Anyways my warranty ran out in Sept 08 so now what do I do.
I feel that HP should recall all the models with this known issue..
It's not right that I am now stuck with a notebook that was only good for a year and 2 months..
Any idea's?
PS
I would not suggest to take off the cover to troubleshoot problems if you have a notebook that is fairly new..
The warranty will be voided for sure!

Right - for all of you out there with HP issues around the DV6000 and I also think the 9000 range is affected.
The issue is beyond your control!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The situation is generally due to a faulty NVidia chip which HP is well aware of and there is currently a "Class Action" being persued in the "states" regarding this issue.
You still need to ring HP Technical Services on this issue EVEN IF YOUR WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED.
Certain machines within these ranges have had extended manufacturers warranties applied so even after your normal 1 year warranty or even your extended warranty (if purchased) has expired you COULD still have cover
Possible SHORT TERM solutions have included - taking off the battery, disconnecting from the mains and pressing the power button for anything upto 1 minute - to "discharge the capacitors" within the machine.
Oh and resetting the BIOS.
These solutions have ONLY worked in the very short term from my experience.
The machine requires a NEW MOTHERBOARD - DO NOT PAY FOR IT OUT OF YOUR OWN POCKET - HP need to sort it!!
I hope this helps you all out, we have had 4 machines successfuly repaired and 2 refused - so give it a go

My problem and yours may be the same. I tried all the normal stuff and generally they didn't help. Two things that did work:
Right now I have my system running quite normally and I am just letting it run. I don't know if I want to run it 24/7 indefinitely but for now it's better than having to fight with the boot process. Give this a try and let me know if it works for you.
- F11 - after enough tries, this will get you into the HP Recovery Manager (assuming that it is set up on your machine). This gives you some recovery capabilities (including a command line.
- Del - On my machine, this was able to bypass the problem and allowed it to boot. It doesn't take every time. You have to shut down (hold down the power button for at least 5 sec until the machine turns off) then hold down the Del key while you start it again. If it doesn't take you have to do it all again. The theory is that there is something wrong with the motherboard / video chip and if that is the case, it isn't clear as to why this would bypass it and why the system would run OK when it does boot.

The problem is with the nVidia BGA chipset, and cannot be repaired at Mom & Pop shops. It will have to be repaired by an Electronics Technician with the proper tools and training. This is common for DV series systems whether it is DV2000/6000/9000. Though I have found better reliablity on the Centrino systems that uses the Intel chipset.
My suspected reason:
The silicone thermal pad is not thick enough to apply pressure on the nVidia Southbridge and sufficient heat is not drawn off, so the BGA as it heats and cools, the RoHS solder shrinks and solder ball loses contact on the joint that draws a lot of current - so this contact is no longer passing current, the system fails during post because it cannot say "everything's fine - continue boot".

I think it's a video problem. I am not familiar with your laptop but some video boards in different laptops pop up from their connector on the system board. Try pushing it back in place.
