Agree 100% at lease give it a try!!!!! After all HP sold a faulty product. Ended up very helpful in the end.

I sent my to HP and they replaced the motherboard for free under extended warranty...


So send yours in if you can.....

Best of luck!

Dear Ivek,
I suggest you contact a local HP representative and explain your problem to them. I bought my lappie in England and they did fix it in South Africa. I really do not understand why they...

Hey guys and girls, if your lappie on warranty, or is part of the faulty batch(on enhanced warranty) then DO send it to HP! Whatever the solution the lappie will die eventually if it is part of...

My Good news: I have received my Lappie from HP yesterday, they fixed it for free.(I paid the couriers). On the papers it says "Motherboard replaced, updated BIOS".

So whatever OTHER solution is...

Yeah, this is sooo frustrating. I get cramps each time I hear HP! I wonder what is the size of that faulty batch they have sold, sounds fairly big!

I wonder how other companies dealt with the problem- having sold a foulty batch?- the entire series?

Check the HP website if your laptop is part of faulty batch.

My pavillion is - just died on me- lights flashing and nothing on the screen. It is a hardware problem.

Send your machine to HP,...

No anti Microsoft I will leave to you! LOL But as for Anti-HP I am quite serious.... They are still messing me around.... I am totally mad with them. Sold me a piece of sh%$ and now refuse to fix it.

Guys, check the HP website if your Lappies are part of HP faulty batch- then it might be eligible for 1 year extended warranty.

Mine is, so Good luck!

Hi Ivek!

Unfortunatly HP is still messing me around! The HP rep from USA sent me email that they "personally" will look into the matter and will contact me ASAP via local HP rep in South Africa,...

Ha ha my next lappy is DEFINITLY not HP!

The desktop is built by me, then I can choose the best parts, but as for lappies it is a different sory altogether....


I am so fed up that I am...

Yeah I just dunno who to trust... I suppose you cant hope to buy a lappy that would last anymore....

I am glad you guys have your l lappies sorted!

HP is still messing me around, feeding me promises. Oh well will wreite an update when i get any clarity.

Yeah, unfortunatly It barely lasted a year.... But you are right, it is totally in manufacurer's interest to make things that dont last, then you are forced to buy a replacement.... sad...

I have sent my Lappie to HP under their "enhanced year of warranty" since they have finally confessed to having sold a faulty batch, only to hear that the extended warranty is void, since the unit...

Have you checked if your lappy falls in HPs faulty batch? You can check on their website. Obviously they have sold lots of faulty Pavillions. If your model and serial number falls in that batch you...

I have sent my lappie to HP, and now I get an email that tells me that my "enhanced" 1 year warranty is void, since the unit has been opened.

Can you imagine THAT? Very convinient, isnt it? They...

OMG! Thank you sweetie pie for the link! Tomorrow I am calling them!
Here is a link to HP site with international numbers, in case someone needs it!...

I had to buy myself old pentium4 fujitsu Siemens to be able to work, because my HP is as dead as ever. NOTHING helps!

I am going to try and buy a motherboard for it later(I belive it packed up!)...

I bet that overpriced thing was Sony? I wonder if at least sonies come with a decent OS CD???

I agree that 'restore ' partition on HP is a waste of space! I was surprised to find it on my...

I have a dell and I got about 4 discs with it with OS, + all the drivers and stuff!

Nopes it is still dead! I am trying to run the battery flat and see aht happens, but I doubt it....

Unfortunately I cant even take it where I bought it as I travel alot and now I am on the other...

Thank you dear Scanyman!

It really does sound like somethingI am experiencing!

I really wish HP would come up with a hint at least. I do not think they have the decency to do so! I would...

I am still stuck with my half dead HP laptop, that died for no apparent reason and it is under a year old and is one of the latest models...

From reading the posts on this forums last weak I see...

Somebody slapped on the table where the lappie was standing and it died and does not come on anymore...

I hope it is bad contact....:(

Guess what happened today? I as usual press the start button just to see that it does not start... and it gives me 3 short beeps. Well of course I got the Ram out and the harddrive... for...

Thank you Fren!

You just confirm my suspicions that I will have to replace the motherboard, and the cheapest I found so far is aboput 200 British Pounds. OUCH.

The CPU fan is immaculate...

If it is a problem with a graphics card, will it not give some beeps?

I cant get into BIOS. :(

Well the laptop is about 10-11 months old. It is AMD Turion Dual Core x64, 1.8 Ghz, 2 Gig of RAM 256 Nvidia card. So I would say it is still new. It was taken good care of, never dropped or anything....

Thank you Master_Vos

But this thing has temperature detection, and the fact that the fan spins up and stops after a while indicates that the CPU does not heat up at all.

I have read somewhere...

Nopes, as tight as it can be.

I wonder why it does not go to BIOS, not displays POST. Can it be that BIOS went faulty?I mean the chip itself?(there was no attempts to flash it).

If it is faulty BIOS then we willhave to replace the motherboard! :'(

Sorry I dunno what to advice.... My HP pavillion is in identical state... I wonder if it is faulty BIOS... Because all the lights go on and nothing comes on the screen...

HP? NEVER AGAIN! The...

Have done that as well. Nothing comes up on the screen, it just keeps restarting. The hardrive spins up and DVD-rom as well. The CPU fan also starts up, later on it switches off- it is that AMD's...

I tried to switch on my HP pavillion dv6000, all the lights go on, bot nothing happens on the screen at all, it does not even go to BIOS. After several seconds the lights flash- it restarts and the...
