I have a DV6000 MODEL (DV6208NR) its about 3yrs old.....its a Vista model with 1GB RAM and 100GB HD.....Its a AMD with Nvidia card.
So my problem is..now when i turn on my laptop the screen stays BLANK and about 15 seconds later my laptop restarts on its own.
I have removed/reset the RAM & the Hard Drive and have also tried to hook it up to external monitor......still noting....Im scratching my head thinking maybe video chip?
Any ideas how to fix it or does it have to be reflowed?
Im a little computer savy but not to much on laptops.....just desktops.
Thanks
There is a very common issue with the HP DV60xx series overheating (due to the Nvidia video chip) that causes these laptop system boards to fail.
There is a listing of the "affected models"

And based on your product number you may have an extended warranty. As far as I understand, this extended warranty is limited to AMD processor based units which use the NVIDIA GPU (graphical processing unit) .
I would check the link I posted above, see if your Product number (usually a white sticker on the bottom near your serial number) is on the list and then call hp.
Good luck :)
