Here’s how you can take apart a HP Pavilion dv2000 notebook PC. This guide will help you to remove the motherboard, so you can access and clean the cooling module which includes the cooling fan and heat sink.
If your laptop runs hot and shuts down on its own in the middle of doing something, most likely it’s heat related problem. Take a closer look at the heat sink. If the heat sink gets clogged with dust, the processor overheats and the laptop shuts down. You’ll have to clean the cooling module.
Cleaning tips: You can use virtually anything to clean it, except liquids… liquids may has erosion on the fans motor or the heat sink itself. Recommended: toothbrush(an old one you aren’t planning on using again…), compressed air, lint brush, etc…

@ Kirk,
HP Pavilion dv2000 notebook has a REGULAR hard drive. There is a proprietary HP connector on the hard drive but you can remove it.
Simply pull the connector from the hard drive and you’ll be able to get your data.
Here’s a picture of this HP dv2000 hard drive connector.
You see, it’s a removable part.

Like a few of the users above stated, the hard drive on this computer uses some kind of silly propitiatory connector. I wanted to transfer some data from the drive but standard connectors do not fit. I guess I am just wasting my time trying to figure out if there is a way to connect to it, but looks hopeless at this point.

Rodromlo,
Guys, maybe I don’t understand something but I have no idea why you having this problem.
I believe Western Digital 320 GB Scorpio Black is a regular 2.5″ SATA drive.
Maybe you just not installing it correctly in the caddy? Maybe you should rotate the hard drive 180 degrees so pins on the HDD matches connector on the motherboard?

i have the same problem with the “backward conectors”. I bought a Western Digital 320 GB Scorpio Black.
Let me try to explain it. The conector in the computer has 2 “subconectors” , those pins that make contact with the hard drive, one with seven pins and the other with more, the hard drive i bought has those pins backward, the seven pins in the hard drive are not aligned with the seven in the computer.
Which hard drive should i buy? or like Kara said, it´s discontinued and i shoudl be looking for a new computer.
