There's a reason why there are so many repair services for the motherboard of this and the full spectrum of HP DV6000 to DV9000 laptops made by HP/Compaq. These motherboards and/or the laptops should have been recalled by HP. They do not dissipate heat well and the GPU often requires a complete re-solder (reballing or reflowing). Short of buying a new replacement board (not a good idea either even if you can still find one), I recommend avoiding these few models. Here are some of the issues with these laptops: 1. LAPTOP POWERS ON, BUT NO DISPLAY SEEN ON SCREEN 2. LAPTOP SOME TIMES TURNS ON, MOST OF THE TIME WILL NOT BOOT 3. WIRELESS NOT WORKING & IS NOT DETECTED BY MOTHERBOARD/DEVICE MANAGER EVEN WITH NEW REPLACEMENT PARTS 4. LAPTOP GENERATES A BEEP BEEP SOUND WHEN POWERING UP (You could live with that if that's all it did!) 5. LAPTOP RUNS TOO HOT AND SHUTS DOWN BY ITSELF. Save your money and get something not prone to breakdown and malfunction. Wish I'd known this before buying one as well. There are bunches of videos on how to fix these laptops on YouTube but why should you start investing in complicated repairs or replacement parts when the initial product is way below average. If you own one, I hope you beat the odds and you don't see a breakdown. This is just throwing money away by attempting to resolve a critical design flaw to begin with.Read full review
I bought mine new around 2009 for close to $1,000.00. I loved everything about it. I got almost two year's use out of it. I, like so many others, was a victim of the overheating and frying the motherboard design flaw. Wouldn't you know this happened just as the warranty expired? I was told by several computer repair shops that they could fix it for around $400.00+ but it would be a waste of money and I should just get a new one. I hate how disposable society has become. So now its been sitting on a shelf for the past 5 years. I would love to be able to use it again, because when it worked it was a great computer.
