If using an eraser on the end of a pencil, and not a solid eraser, refrain from letting the metal band on the pencil contact the gold plated contact pins.
Rub up, and down gently on EACH contact pin. (Both sides) Doesn't take much to clean them. They may not look shiny, and bright when you are done, but I assure you they are clean.
Handle the ram memory module by the BODY. The Body is everywhere on the ram memory module except for the gold plated contact pins. The Body is coated with a see-through protective plastic.
Use air to remove the eraser dust before reinstalling. If you have a can of compressed air for computers available, use it. If not air pressure from your mouth will be sufficient.
1a) The cooling system uses air to cool the hardware components inside your laptop. If the cooling system is clogged with 'Gunk', and cannot adequately receive the needed air flow, the Processor and graphics chipset will overheat.
The Processor and the graphics chipset (G.P.U.) are the two hardware components that give off the most heat.
Having the laptop dirty inside can cause a serious issue also, and especially on the Pavilion dv6000 series of Notebook PC;
The graphics chipset is mounted to the motherboard with a BGA surface mount. Through constant overheating of the graphics chipset, the solder joints (Connections) may partially melt, then re-solidify when the laptop is turned off. (Cools down)
This cause cold solder joints of the graphics chipset to motherboard, and a poor contact of graphics chipset to motherboard.
The problem with the Pavilion dv2000, dv6000, and dv9000 series of Notebook PC's, is inadequate cooling for the graphics chipset.
the beeps are post during post the very first work is done by the ram,all the memory in the ram is first transferred to the hard disk,and remains active untill turned off. make sure that your RAM is securely seated try replacing all the leads that attach to your hard drive including electrical extensions + IDE,SATAthe ones that attach from your motherboard to hard drive make sure all leads that are attached to your drives dvd\cd 3 1/2 inch floppy have secure connections and are not faulty or just replace them they are probably old and faulty ? hope this helps
Has anything changed since it was working last? check that first
Next -- the Beep codes indicate a hardware problem --the PC was unable to POST(Power On SelfTest-)-but DELL's beep codes closest to what you described is either 1-2-video card not detected or 1-3-1-1 which is Memory (RAM) error adn the PHEONIX beep code of 1-3-2 is Memory error also-- so be sure all cards and chips are seated properly--I dont think its the hardrive --a PC can still boot and POST without a hardrive.
the beeping sound is the post system searching for your hard drive and other connected devices try replacing all the leads that attach to your hard drive including electrical extensions + IDE,SATA and the ones that attach from your motherboard to hard drive make sure all leads that are attached to your drives dvd\cd 3 1/2 inch floppy have secure connections and are not faulty or just replace them they are probably old and faulty ? hope this helps
more often than not when you install extra memory you have to reload computer.make sure that stick is inserted correctly. then do a reload. hope this helps.
Hi, The problem is the system memory, get yourself a clean, dry soft paintbrush, remove the power cord from the back of the unit, remove the memory and clean the brass contacts on the memory modules, next clean the memory slots of any dust that may have built up and reseat the memory. Put the side panel back on and plug in the power cord then power up.
