HP Pavilion dv9000 Boot / Display Issues

HDD's recently removed to backup data using a usb caddy to another pc. HDD's appear to be working fine, extracted all data ok. When pressing the power button, all the light come on, and laptop appears to be running. But no display on the monitor, not even Bios. It then Cyclic reboots after a minute or so, but still not display.

If anyone had any ideas!

Thanks

I have experienced NO DISPLAY problems HP Pavilion dv9000 laptop and I have found fixes or workarounds. I tried doing these fixes.

It worked for me. It might work for you. ^_^ Good luck! ^_^

Thanks Daniel Beck^_^ Good to hear that my workaround actually worked ^_^

Surprisingly, no one has ever left a comment on the post if it really actually worked for them.hehe

Anyway, I am still figuring out the Wireless Card problem. Last week it detected the wireless card, and now it is not detected. Very hard to say how to fix this since the scenario is very intermittent.

Good luck fixing your HPs! Hope you'll leave comments as they are very much welcomed. Thanks! ^_^

Thank you for the information regarding the extended warranty meghan. I checked your link and called HP. They have a box on the way for repair. I only hope I don't get some refurbished motherboard / video card. The best part is that I have been using my dv9417 for just under two years, and they are still offering this to me. (It popped up as a warning on his system after I gave him my product number). Thanks again for the link. Here's hoping I can get another 2 years out of the replacement.

i just saw your post. great info! my computer does something similar. did they take care of the whole defect free of charge? and in a timely manner?

THANK YOU!!

I have looked into your post and can tell you that that is not main way to solve the display problem issue when you already have it. The Pavilion dv9000 series and other series have this common problem and in the first place it is caused by overheating. The main problem after the overheating is the video chip tend to move slightly causing a loss of proper connection to the motherboard. When looking at the chip displacement on the motherboard it is hardly noticeable. The way to solve this without contacting Hp is to get access to the GPU and use a special tool to reball the GPU.

The boot problem is very common on HP Laptops. The Extended Warranty is a bios fix to keep the fans running to reduce the heat but I believe that this only applies to machines with Intel Processors. There is no bios update for machines with AMD processors (and they run hotter than Intels).

My machine was dead and I found a way to get it started again. It has now been running since July despite the problem. If you want more details see the post on my site.
