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…

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.

kara,
What??? Are you sure about that? What do you mean by “connectors were backwards”?

I have to replace the hard drive on my pavilion dv2000, and purchased a 320 Gb 2.5″ SATA hard drive–when we went to install it, the connectors were backwards. Apparently hp discontinued that old hard drive b/c I found like one online vendor for that part and it was $100 for a 160 GB drive, which is ridiculous. Does anyone know if there’s a way adapt the hard drive I’ve already got so the connectors match? I would appreciate it SO much.

My dad has a note book pc that needs windows re-installing on it and the problem is, the notebook pc like all of them (as far as I know) doesn’t have a floppy disk drive or a CD/DVD ROM Drive. How would we get windows re-installed in this circmstance?
