After a minutes the lights blink and it just continues to do this. I have been told it may be the video card anyone have any other advice on what to try. To tell ya the truth I won't by an HP again its been trouble since I got it! The wireless card quit about a year ago and they tried replacing it twice with new one and no luck. I guess it may be time to trash this one.
There is no video card, this is not a desktop (cept my elite book)
your GPU is solder down chip, if its 2008 PC, then it has the solder balls failure. Nvidia failure. is this 2008 PC>? the service guide says 2007 ,so is 10 year old or 9 and has bad GPU chip, as most did.
in DOG years its, 100 years old.... few ever last this long....
this thing is old its not new,
all old laptops are trash, this old, they are like dog years.
no OS stated, so cant help much. lacking that key fact.
is it still running the original XP day1 new? or did you upgrade the OS and if not done right many things will fail, even wifi and video.
what wireless card? is it HP, card? USB card, where did you plug in said card (mini-pci slot inside?) yes i see it in the parts list.
they can go bad but I bet the driver was and is wrong.
the driver must match prefectly and these card that is tricky.
there were many models of cards made. so, yah,
i have special software scanner I use to ID all cards and all chips.
then i can match anything made.
The 9200 is now legacy, at HP , retired and no support this old.
It came with XP new, is that what it is now?
The drivers for all the cards and chips are not at HP now.
so getting all that to work right takes hard work.
here are the black screen steps, are you ready.
remove that old main battery they short, leave it out until its fixed.
power on, does no power on , and fan blows>?
are the vents clear of lint so it wont overheat.
does the HDD spin , heard.
any text on the screen ever.?
if you use a flash light to screen can you see data"?
if you torque the base gently or push ******* the J key
does the screen wake up?
I think its solder balls from hell. but ID have to strip it down
and do tests to prove that.
here is your serv. manual, (site search magic)

What is the keyboard model number/ name (probably on a sticker at the back of the keyboard)?

The problem is the GPU, HP will fix it for free if it's less than 2 years old. You can check out www.msbin.com if it's over 2 years old. The guide will show you how to reflow the GPU with common household tool.

I cannot solve your problem. However I have exactly the same problem with my DV9600. I can hook up an external monitor and use it as a desktop. Mine is also off warranty. I am curious if others have the same problem and if more people telling HP about this will have any effect.
