Title: My computer won't even come on now
Post by: srose on May 04, 2010, 12:52:24 PM

My friend gave me a lap top computer. It is an HP Pavilion dv6000. I can't tell you much else about it because it doesn't even turn on. He said that it was locking up on him, and he gave it to someone that supposedly makes a living fixing computers, but after 6 weeks he gave it back and now it doesn't do anything. Is there something that I can do to try and get it working again.

Thank You,
Sean

Go to Google and search for:
HP Pavilion dv6000 service

There are many sites that offer advice on HP products. Be aware that many of these are NOT free. And be very careful about downloading anything, expect the service manual.

My best guess is the battery is shot. But why didn't they catch that?
