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…
This disassembly guide will be a very helpful addition to the official maintenance and service guide for HP Pavilion dv2000 Notebook PCs which you can download here (8.18MB pdf file). The official service guide also has step-by-step laptop disassembly instructions.

ba8ya,
Did you test the laptop with an external monitor? Do you know if the external video also has 8 small screens or it works properly?

ibby,
Are you sure it’s not related to the laptop memory? If not, apparently there is a problem with the video card or motherboard.
I know that HP repairs some out of warranty dv2000 laptops at no charge, here’s more info:

ryan,
Did it flicker with the old cracked screen?
Check connection between the cable and LCD screen, make sure it seated tightly. Try reconnecting the cable.
Also, you said the screen flickers on and off. The backlight flickers but the image stays on, or the image flickers but the backlight stays on?

I find this very good. What I am looking for is replacing the lcd screen. I have done it, but now it flickers on and off. The screen had to be replaced because i cracked it.

Rick,
Did you download the official maintenance and service guide for this laptop? I linked to a pdf file in the post.
Usually you can find step by step disassembly instructions in the manual.
