have you tried troubleshooting with another battery that you know is good?

i removed the battery and connected the adapter directly so if it was a battery issue it would come on regardless.

What was the last thing you did with ur PC before it started doing this?

Just ran into same thing, any luck troubleshooting...very sad...:(

I have a pavillion HP dv2000, the screen has gone blank, replaced the screen, still no help, actually there is a red icon (lit up) looks like a screen right above to the left of the finger mouse pad.

i have a diffrent version of the dv, but it sounds like that icon indicates that the touchpad is turned off

There is a nvidia problem with some hp dv models. Check out this site (www.hplies.com) to find out more details and to see if your model is listed in the database.
