20 Most Recent HP Pavilion dv2000t Notebook - Page 7 Questions & Answers

This computer sounds like it has the same problem as every other DV series laptop and that is the fact that if they overheat in the slight bit, the solder on the Nvidia chip hits its de-solder point and the chip looses contact with the motherboard and causes all kinds of issues. I have "reflowed" dozens of these motherboards and have a 90% success rate and getting them to run again. If you have a heat gun, I can walk you through the steps to reflowing the board. You have to understand though that it may work and again it may not. In the times when I have not been successfull, I simply replaced the motherboard.

Take the laptop apart, I'll give you a link below for the service manual that explains the process.

The Nvidia chip sits next to the processor chip, wrap the motherboard in aluminum foil to ptotect all the areas except for the top and bottom of the affected chip.

Now, clamp the motherboard to a desk so it will not move and make sure that the underside of the chip is accessable from underneath.
Get a quarter and wad up a small amount of solder and place it on the quarter. Now put a small amount of thermal paste on the chip and place the quarter on the chip with the solder up. (The solder will be the indication to you that the chip has reached the proper temperature to melt the solder on the chip).
Now, take the heat gun and on the first heat setting start heating the top of the chip for 30 seconds, then switch the gun to the bottom of the chip for 30 seconds, then go back to the top for 30 seconds and then to the bottom for 30 seconds.....now, switch the gun to high and hold it to the top of the chip where it will blow down on the quarter, keep the gun at least 6 inches away from the board at all times. When you see the solder on the quarter melt into a drop, switch the gun to the low heat setting and put the gun about 12 inches away and sweep the gun from side to side or have a ceiling fan over the area and let it blow air softly down on the board to help gradually cool it. Do not bump, hit or disturb the board until the board has at least 30 minutes to cool down. Once the board cools down, remove the quarter and reassemble the laptop. Power the ****** up and see if it fires up. Below is the link to the service manual, copy and paste it to your web browser address bar. It is in a PDF format and is free to use, copy and print.

Windows 7 is designed for latest hardware and the Laptop you are using is quite an old. We will face compatibility issues.

I suggest you to run a Compatibility Advisor to know which Windows 7 version is compatible for your Notebook.

Advisor Tool
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/upgrade-advisor.aspx

Install the suggested version using an upgrade Disk. If you use retail version, you will face the driver compatibility issues.

All windows 7 driver will not available. But, you can use Vista driver for Windows 7 if it is installed using an upgrade disk

it might be a FDC error , check it for this also

check this site and see if your laptop is listed for repair

buy webcam
install driver

if u see searching for new hardware and new hardware wizard just pres NEXT button continue anyway and finish!

Since, sleep mode is a "low power state" it is not really a good idea, to do it. Get it service repaired. If you are exactly using a computer not laptop. Then thats the reason. Comptuter is not a good idea to sleep.

Note: All stuff lose. If you can't get it repaired. Contact a computer technical service, or give it to the store where you bought the computer/laptop.

Thank You for Using FixYa!

First of all, this Notebook is installed with SATA Hard Drive and the drivers for the SATA Hard Drive will not be available with retail versions of Windows XP by default.
I recommend you to try using different OEM versions of XP to install in your Notebook which should work.
Since the Notebook is preinstalled with Windows Vista, the XP Drivers for this Notebook are not directly available from HP.
I had searched some for you which should work.
Download the Drivers one after the other and save them with the name along with the Softpaq Number like the example given below :
Microsoft UAA_33566.exe
So that it will be easier for you to save them and identify.
Save the drivers in one location in the Notebook and double click them once the download is completed.
Make sure that you install the Microsoft UAA Drivers before installing the Audio or Modem Drivers.
Make sure that you install them in the same order I had provided them below :
You need to download the Intel Chipset Drivers for your Notebook from the link below :

You have a loose connection on the cable for the screen. The case of the laptop must be removed and the cable reseated in its connector and the problem will be gone.

Please follow the steps mentioned below:
1) Control Panel and open Folder Options. 2) Under the View tab uncheck "Hide protected operating system files (recommended)". 3) Now go into Windows Explorer(Not Internet Explorer) and go to C:\Windows\System32\dllcache folder and open it. 4) Locate the sndvol32.exe file right click it,choose copy. 5) Next go to the C:\Windows\System32 folder and open it. 6) In the right pane right click an empty area and choose Paste. Now you should have your volume icon back.
Hope this helps.

You need to goto the manufacturers website, find their support section and there should be a list of drivers for your specific machine. Installing these should resolve your problem. I have a list of links to most manufacturers drivers on my website.

ur hp health schedular file currupted so please run ur recovery,ok. it works

you want to take it for repair? You don't need an HP technician (unless it's still under warranty) I'm sure there are many good laptop repair places you can take it...just google it in your area, and ask for referrals befor you take it. Sounds like a display issue...the inverter maybe...

try hitting the f8 key upon turning on. keep hitting the key after you start it since the screen is black.. it may open up to the repair mode this way to fix

If your systems take too much time to booth up it is usually because the programs at startup are too much for the processor of the unit.
If you put on the unit try to check for the startup programs which come on with the unit and remove the ones which are irrelevant.
This should help ease up the system and increase boot speed.
Also to help improve the system performance try getting tune up utilities installed on your device.
Hope this is helpful

put the disk in, that came with the program, and follow the instructions.

You need to find your "Operating System CD" sometimes they give you this sort of stuff with your computer but if not, find one from somewhere. Put the CD in when the computer starts and you will see a message saying "Press any key to boot CD" or something similar, boot the CD and press install Windows XP - when you have pressed F8 to agree to Terms and Conditions, it will give you an option to overwrite your current system or Repair. Click repair and it will start installing stuff. DONT WORRY - its not deleting your information its just fixing your computer. When the installation has finished, you will be sorted! - Make sure its a Microsoft windows XP CD though, otherwise you cannot repair your system.

Hope this helps.

that key is very important. try to read the key. because its a genuine operating system key. so it requires key
