Got my sons dv6000 out of the cupboard today, it had been there for about six months, as it had the same problem as above with not booting up and black screen. I put one of the recovery cd disk that i had made before it went bad in. After several minutes whirling inside the screen finally started up and asked If I wanted to recover start up or something similar. After system recovery It’s working well again. hope this helps someone.

I have an Inspiron 6000, the hard drive was removed a few months ago by an employee and it was lost, we just replaced the hard drive and are recharging the battery, it’s blinking green, when we press the on button, we see the dell log for a second, then the computer shuts off, is this a battery charge issue?

Same problem with dv6609 shuts down after 5 seconds, but sometimes it will run for 4-5 hours

Have someone remove the laptops HDD and install it in a portable HDD enclosure. This way you can attach to a desktop with a USB cable and get your data.

Hi,
I have a HP dv6000 series and it has the same problem (shuts on and off repeatedly) and I can’t even get the recovery disk to run as it shuts off every 25 seconds!
I removed the motherboard, tried to start up without it, put it back when it’s starting and either way, keeps doing the same thing (on and off with or without the motherboard). I removed the RAM as well and did as with the motherboard and nothing, keeps doing it. All lights go on when it starts and the fan runs ok………………I did send my laptop to HP for the enhanced guarantee last year (they changed everything (CPU, BIOS etc!) and now I have the same problem! HP wont repair it again and I just want to recover my files. Is there anyway to get it to work for at least one more time?
Thanks!

Mike,

My HP DV6000 starts with a black screen and reboot. This repeats for 3 times until he shutdown. My first idea was to replace the heatsink cause the fan does not work. After reassembling the fan turns on but the failure is still the same. I connected an external TFT Monitor on the VGA Port – nothing happened. I cleared the CMOS by removing the battery, still the same error. I changed the RAM with another 512K Module – nothing changed. Even with no RAM installed the DV 6000 gives no error .. ? No beep – nothing. If i install (additionally) the HDD, the DV 6000 start up one time ! and shut down. Have anyone an idea, i’m afraid the motherboard is the reason for this problem.

Unfortunately, your description does sound like a problem with the motherboard.

Even with no RAM installed the DV 6000 gives no error .. ? No beep – nothing.

Very few laptops will produce a beep error message when memory is removed.

By the way, maybe your dv9000 laptop qualifies for a free repair from HP?
