It may be a 1 shot deal. After that the F11 functionality is gone.
BTW: Gateway requires the OEM DVD/CD when doing a F11 recovery.

Bad news, It may be a dead dog. I had 2 this week. Even replacing the 100+ pin flatpak keyboard controller chip does not fix it, nor replacing BIOS or CMOS chip.

That is also one of the issues related to the DV Series. Since many of the components are on a VLSI circuit many sections can fail. The failed video on a number of DV Series is related to the nVidia...

Try Exe Protector it is already done, easy to use and most importantly FREE. http://www.sriharish.com The Free Version (http://www.sriharish.com/)

Close the thread if done.

Chrisea: I seems it may be related to the ACPI (power section) of the unit. This too is one of the common problems with the DV2k,6k,9k and CPQ V3000/6000 series. Along with the No Video and WiFi. ...

That model does not have a replaceable video card. It is a known defect with the video controller. The solderballs under the Video BGA loses contact. This causes no boot, because it doesn't pass...

1 - it is not an overheating problem. (Overheating was a guess)
2 - If a unit is overheating, it should still take about 2min before shutdown even if the fan is not working at all.
3 - my previous...

If you have opened the machine - check the coils. Bad solder on one pad. There are about 4 of them and should be on the right side near DVD/Extra battery power connector. Check the top and bottom...

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...

I had pretty good luck this DV6000/DV9000 issue fixed 3/3 this week. repairing the nVidia controller issue. But it is not something the average computer shop can do.

Try resetting your BIOS to default settings. Then if not, it appears that one of the Windows drivers is corrupt, invalid license, corrupt Service dependency.

You should be able to start in SAFE...

One side of the DC circuit is failing. If it is a MA2 or MA3 it is most likely a MOSFET on the front end, (4814/4816/4916). Also check with a charged and known good battery

I don't have the information in front of me, but it is also the same as D600. Usually they are Broadcom.

Take it back! You have a new laptop and putting old parts in it to save money? The frame should not have been cracked. Now you have unequal support on the bezel. Your problems will only get greater...

Also check the boot order in BIOS. It may have lost it's settings

Check the CMOS battery also- sometimes when the motherboard is replaced, they give you one off the shelf that's been sitting- or a recycled on that battery was the original.

empty the recycle bin!

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.

Use the conductive ink pen. You may cause irrepairable damage doing it your way.

I gave the solution and I cannot tell you how to do it wrong. I only know the right way.

Then it becomes an electronics problem on the motherboard and needs to be serviced. usually a bad MOSFET or Zener diode.

1:is thermal compound on CPU heatsink?

could also be underwattage power supply. And buying another at the same wattage just changed problems, not eliminated them.

Please State old PSU wattage, and new.
