The DV6000 series of notebooks are known to have problematic motherboards. Try the below options:

1) Hold the power button down for 5 second and the machine should shutdown. Then power on again.

or

2) Flip the laptop over and switch the "lock" switch to "unlock". Then flip the release button to remove the battery for a few seconds. Put the battery back in and try to power the laptop on.

or

3) Power on the notebook like normal. Watch the Hard Drive activity light (the one that looks like 3 stacked plates), if the screen is blank and the activity light is solid or flashing, you know that the LCD screen is bad and needs to be replaced. If that light is not flashing then the problem is your motherboard and it needs to be replaced. Call HP and ask them if your model was part of a DV6000 series recall, if so your repair costs might be covered.

Hello,

I'm having the exact same problem on my less than 2 yr old HP Touchsmart tx2675 laptop. Could you please let me know if you have solved the problem?

Thanks and Regards,

hi there,

this problem usually happen on Acer notebook, just try several time to turn it on if you make it go to desktop properties then go to Screen Saver tab and change "System Standby" value to "Never".

let me know the result,,,

Take a flashlight and shine it on the screen. If you can see an image, you probably need to replace the power inverter board. It supplies power to the backlight.

If you can shine a light into the screen and faintly make out the images? Then it's probably the inverter/backlight board, not too expensive or difficult to replace in most cases. Let us know.

Do you get ANY type of video on the screen?

Try removing the battery and starting up just on power supply. May be a bad battery. If that doesn't work let me know.
