HP laptop not booting up - blank screen

1 long beep followed by two short beeps is usually indicative of a failed/failing display adapter. On something as.... rustic as your dv2000 it can be fixed.... but probably would see better value from just replacing the unit.

Hi

Thank you for your query

Please try the folowing

1) Remove ALL wires and then press and hold the power button in for approx 20 seconds

2) Plug everything back in and then rerty

This may sort the issue out however from what you are descrbing, if there is no boot or display it is highly likely the motherboard and/or the CPU is faulty

I would recommend that you book the PC into a reputable PC repair shop if the above does not work

If this has been useful please leave postive feedback/vote/testimonial - Thank You Again

Depending upon your BIOS manufacturer, generally this POST error code means either a video card problem or a motherboard problem. If the RAM is OK then you have a motherboard problem, and this may not be cost effective to fix. Consider putting your money towards a new laptop, remove the hard disk and put it into an external USB adapter case and use it as an USB hard drive for backup etc.

hello..i think their is the problem hardware on the unit..try to remove the memory and try to clean or try to replace..thanks...and Good Luck..^_^

Your could not be booting for several reasons anything from faulty RAM to software issues. Since you cannot boot to any type of working screen you will need to use the operating disc with XP or Vista on it. Put it in the CD-ROM and reboot. Let it run for a while and it will eventually ask you to install or repair. I would try repair first as if you install then you will lose all of your data, docs, favorites, pic, etc. if you have any questions let me know.

Check the swapping monitor function screen FN + F4 on Compaq.
It allows to change from internal to external or Both monitors.OR
Start in Safe mode with VGA basic settings and configure your Display settings.

hi,
i m in Hong Kong. The stupid HP repair center charged US 90 just for inspection!!!!! They they said the whole motherboard had to be replaced, thts additional US 630 dollars, the thing is just 1.5 yr old. They also said i don get to keep the broken mother board after replacement. This is simply irresponsible, unethical, sleazy and UNJUST!!

Thanks. right now the computer is fixed for US70. when i hv time, i'll open it up and see if i can figure it out how it was fixed. The shop suggested tht the computer wont last too long. This is such bad quality for HP... Sorry, i hv to do the following for other victims to find this easily:
(can some creative netizen bring this to the public light to pressure HP to do the ethical things??)

hi
I had the same problem faced twice in one month, and it’s a new laptop just one month old,
I have removed battery for for few minutes and fixed it back. And it's working fine now.
If it continues what should I do?

Hello!

That beeps indicated that there is a problem in the video Graphics adapter and in the memory.

try remove and clean the memory and then fix it back, im sure that would resolve your problems. however if this not solve then your should replace the memory.

If affraid to do so, then maybe let the repairman do it for you.

fixya!
