Bill,

I recently had my DV9000 apart, and my zif connector holding the keyboard ribbon cable inside the m/board connector broke…does ANYONE know where/how to get a replacement for just that little retaining clip? It’s a pain my arse not having all the keys working!

I really doubt that you can buy this clip separately. I guess you can search for a dead motherboard on eBay (if you can find any) and pull this clip from the bad board.

Guys I use to have one of those Laptops, paid £ 1800 two years ago and last week either the screen or the graphic card wend. To repair the dv9000 would have cost me far more than buying a new PC but this own thing made me feeling very strange, other people with the same Laptop reported very similar problems and many of the machines were send back to HP for this reason, just 3 months after the warranty was run out.
To be quite honest HP has lost me as a customer I have my nose full.

Pyi,

I have a HP Pavilion dv 9000, wich was bought more than 2 yers ago in US, but I used in Romania. About 3 weeks ago, vertical pixel strips appeared on the monitor, and later tha monitor turned black. The Windows was starting, but there was no image. I try connecting my laptop to another monitor but it didn’t work either. I tried restrating the laptop, and after many times of doing that, I managed to get the image back, so i tried reinstalling the Windows. I managed to reformated the partition, but the when the Windows instalation reached about 70 %, the screen turned black again and it’s like this ever since.

Sounds like a problem with the video chip. The video chip is integrated into the motherboard and cannot be removed or replaced separately. When video chip fails, it’s necessary to replace the whole motherboard.

Is it the problem caused by the video card?
If it is, how I can find the part number of my matherbord?

The best way to find a new motherboard is searching by the HP spare part number. In most cases HP places a sticker in the memory compartment and the motherboard part number can be found on that sticker. The part number will look similar to this: 450800-001
You might have different digits in this string but it will be the same format: XXXXXX-001
Find the part number and google it.

those motherbord that I cadn find on the internet, are they reliable?

Depends on where you buy the motherboard. Look for a reliable seller with good return/replace policy.

Is it possible there are used motherboards, rather the new ones?

Most likely you’ll get a used/refurbished motherboard even if you buy it directly from HP.

Hello.
I have a HP Pavilion dv 9000, wich was bought more than 2 yers ago in US, but I used in Romania. About 3 weeks ago, vertical pixel strips appeared on the monitor, and later tha monitor turned black. The Windows was starting, but there was no image. I try connecting my laptop to another monitor but it didn’t work either. I tried restrating the laptop, and after many times of doing that, I managed to get the image back, so i tried reinstalling the Windows. I managed to reformated the partition, but the when the Windows instalation reached about 70 %, the screen turned black again and it’s like this ever since. I had the laptop checked by a local service, one that it’s not connected with HP, and thy say it’s a problem with the video card; but it can’t be replaced alone, only with the motherbord. Now I have 2 chices:
1. Either a use the services of an HP affiliated company in witch case only the motherboard will cost me about 380 euros, or
2. I buy the motherboard my self and let the local change it.
My questions are:
Is it the problem caused by teh video card?
If it is, how I can find the part number of my matherbord?
And, those motherbord that I cadn find on the internet, are they reliable? Is it posible ther are used motherbords, rather the new ones?
Thanks.

I have a pavillion us9220. the system starts to boot up, showing MS windows loading, then when before it gets to the start up page, the screen just goes blue. I called HP, they told me I need to do a system restore on it, and see if it helps. I did that, but still getting the blue screen.

Some one said I might need a hard drive or might be the mother board, is there a way to check these out before I go buy a hard drive? Appreciate your help!!
