The towel method really works for HP pavillion DV2000. It is really a hardware fault of HP and Nvidia.

actually your mainboard is not faulty..unless you unable to ON your laptop already..try to ON again and again even you heard the beep, by chance, you will be able to get display…what happened is the GPU (NVIDIA graphics chip) getting loose because of the heat and cold of your laptop..so the contact is not good…my laptop (DV2125TX) also encounter the same problem..i strip to the mainboard..add 2mm of copper tape replacing the blue sponge and add some thermal paste..and not the possibility of switch ON my laptop is very high..i will get beep once in a while..but now i able to ON my laptop..

some people says..baked your mainboard in the oven, and blow your GPU with hot air before doing this..yo can google in the net for ideas..

dont change your mainboard as HP have this design issue..you will face the same problem..unless you request HP to replace with new design instead..

hope this helps..

I have this problem too, and my warranty is 1Year and it’s passed almost 2 years.. So i guess HP won’t fix it for Free.

I have the same problem with my DV2123tx that I bought in Singapore last year but HP Singapore won’t repair it free of charge because 1 year warranty expired.1 year 5 months my DV2123tx had 3 beeps problem and I spent S$500 for repair.Now my DV2123tx has the same problem again and HP won’t repair it for free even I said it was a defect.They said I must pay around S$500 first and they will do repairing for me.With S$1000 I can buy another new notebook.I am very dissapointed with HP Singapore. I am tired to debate with them.They said it’s old notebook and it’s better buying a new notebook.But how come I only use that notebook not until 2 years.I bought my DV2123tx for S$3000, it’s expensive.I thought I can use my notebook for along time.This is my first time buying HP notebook.Usually I buy Toshiba notebook.I had experienced with factory defect from ASUS desktop but they changed my motherboard with the new model because my previous model was discontinued.

My dv2000t has just suffered the same fate, but HP won’t repair it free of charge as it doesn’t have one of the product numbers listed under the limited warranty. Mine is RM668AV. If you find yourself in the same situation then leave a post on the HP forum website and heopefully HP will extend warranty coverage -

Hi guys, I just called HP customer services and they offered to fix my laptop for free! they said that they knew the issue with the DV2000 motherboards and that it would cost nothing for me to have repaired.

I suggest you ask for the same thing!
