How do I remove the 6 cell battery for shipping it?

Here is the location of the appropriate Service Manual - you will have to partially disassemble your computer to reach the battery and replace it.

There is also a BIOS battery but this would not stop it working.

When batteries fail, they usually lose the cells inside them, which means that the cell is no longer able to function as a holding cell for power and therefore cannot do its job anymore, when a battery fails to hold and refuses charging it is bad and needs to be recycled. The flashing is telling you to purchase a new battery. The larger the number of cells in the battery, the longer and better it will perfrom,,RE: 6 cell, 9 cell, 12 cell.

Directtly from the HP site www.hp.com

Just click on the drivers and download links.

Here's a link to the V2000 motherboard listings at Ebay. Many of these have worldwide shipping, so you shouldn't have any problems getting a good board for your machine.

Remove the power cord. Remove the battery. Hold in the power button for up to 60 seconds to discharge the laptop. Try booting it.

link to V2000 support page, you select which series, click on it then select which operating system you are using.

use ebay, same thing but cheaper in prices... i got my presario v2000 ac power charger for 24.50 with shipping and handling.... took 3 days and it arrived unless u want to do overnight shipping which is like an extra 12 bucks which is good too... WELL WORTH IT EBAY IS THE PLACE... i think his name is "honestworks" or something like that buy it from him he has a one year warranty if any defects occur...
