HP Compaq Presario V5000T Notebook - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

The switch is almost always covered, so you have to remove a lot of screws hidden under rubber dots or plastic covers. Electronics cleaner can fix the switch. The ribbon cable in the hinge may have a loose connection that must be fastened properly - or if it is broken, it can be replaced. In rare cases a bad connection between the converter and the backlights occurs. Just loosen it, then tighten it properly. All in all BAD CONNECTIONS are the main reason why all electronics fails.

Have you looked for service manual at HP support website already? It could have pictures showing the location. CLICK HERESome newer models don't have a visible switch. Instead they use a magnet inside the lid that triggers the switch when closed. That can very well be in the palm rest or anywhere else.

What is the Windows OS that you have?

Yes check with Best Buy geek squad. They can hook you up with the appropriate adapter if you bring your laptop in with you.

HP DV 5000 LID switch location is here:


If You want test lid switch, just connect A+B together for a monent!
If the monitor flashes on...? Lid switch is faulty.
It is too dificult to change the lid switch, so the easiest way is connect these pins together forever. :))

Dont forget to turn off your notebook... he wont sleep anymore ;))

Check the adapter.If it is good then its the DC jack.The only other thing it could be is the motherboard.

Yes by leaving the laptop on all the time you could burn out the laptops back light. Set your power settings to turn monitor off after so many minutes of non use to save this. Further more I would recommend a chill pad under the laptop to help keep the CPU from getting to hot.

Please right click on mycomputer go to properties then hardware then device manager then update driver then give path from c-program file audio driver XP then it will take driver and work fine

download a free program called "Glary Utilites"
It will remove spyware, adware, trojans,
It will also clean your registry, optimize the registry, boost your memory, and so much more.
I RECOMMEND THIS PROGRAM TO EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

You can download latest drivers for your model here
Good luck!

Hi there,

The best option is to find out which RAM it uses and purchase some more, as it was a business computer it is most likly only have 256mb of ram as it dont need many programs.

if you purchase 2 1gb sticks this will sort your problem out for under £40.

To reset your computer back to factory setting, you will need to purchase a windows XP operating system disc from a computer store, this will then take you through the steps.

hope this hels

i think your sys file may be corrupted.
reinstall winxp if u have source of winxp.

Well Colleen, I thank you for writing this as detailed as possible, You can always run a disk cleanup, (Start > My computer > Right click C: > Properties > Disk Cleanup, Under General Tab)

That will get rid of junk, Or you could Defrag the computer
(Start>My computer> Rightclick C: > Properties > Tools Tab > Defragment now)
Defrag will take all sorts of junk in a file and sort them in a folder, giving your computer more memory, You could also manually delete everything by going to the root of it all, Or you could buy more memory.

This is a problem only you can solve. Go to CONTROL PANEL / ADD OR REMOVE PROGRAMS. Select the programs you do not want and start uninstalling them. Some of the names may seem a bit obscure and require some research. HP does install a lot of junkware.

DO NOT uninstall updates.

Reboot periodically and defrag the C: drive.

Order the correct Recovery Disk Set for your machine, it should cost less than $16. Do it now while thay are still available.

Now you can strip the D: Recovery Partition and use that space for data files.

You probably have a 4200 RPM hard drive. If the time comes when you need to do a recovery or just want more space, buy a larger, faster replacement drive. 7200 RPM is preferred. Installation is very easy - 6 screws.

Put your existing drive in an external USB case, they only cost about $10.

Your V5000T is an excellent machine and should give many years of productive use.

replace the screen/bulb

pls check weather this is happening wd all teh dvds or wd a particular dvd ?
