I can post a photographic guide to this repair but in the meantime you can try following these instructions if you'd like.ġ. It is better just to replace the motherboard or another the system if you just want to smash it with a hammer. I have been able to fix them, but not permanantly as the heat reflow trick but, it will only give you a month or two before it will do the same thing again. The motherboards on the dv2000-dv9000 series laptops have a lot of problems. If neither of these help, it is likely that that it is the motherboard. You were right to check the RAM, but sometimes a slot can go bad so make sure you try each memory stick in both slots.
It says that the CPU is still working and the problem is another peice of hardware. Getting any kind of beep sequence is a good thing. First, remove the hard drive, wireless card, and CD drive to see if you can get it to postĢ. It is not easy to diagnose that kind of problem, but I can give you some pointers to narrow down the problem.
