The issue with the DV2000, DV6000, DV9000, and TX1000 laptops happens to be both your fan, video memory, and video card.

If you update your BIOS that will help with the overheating, and update your video card drivers directly from Nvidia for the GO6150 series.

If you do not update these files, you will need to have a BGA reflow service to fix your chipsets to restore your wireless and video. What will happen is you will get no video, all blue lights, and the system will cycle on and off every 1 to 2 minutes.

Pictures can be retrieved if you highlight the guide and copy/paste it into MS Word. I have Word 2007.

I felt like many of you when I realized the pics were gone. A picture is worth a 1000 words, particularly when trying to take a laptop apart.

I thought I would at least copy the guide and print it out so I would have it along with the HP disassembly guide. When I pasted it into Word 2007, I got a pleasant surprise. The picture were there and I was able to print it all out. It was a huge help. The pictures make a huge difference.

Somehow, Word refreshes the links to the pics. I did it again before posting this to make sure it still works and it does.

Ben,

I need help replacing my motherboard for dv2000.
I have read through ur contributions and they are very encouraging
but unfurtunately the pictures are no longer there. Please is there
any way i can get the pictures on installing the motherboard.

For some reason all pictures are gone.
You can find laptop disassembly instructions in the official service manual. I just updated my post and posted links to the service manual.
Get the manual and follow step-by-step instructions for the motherboard removal and replacement.

Thanks Guys,
I was told by HP that the motherboard was stuffed (they wanted $800 for replacement) but dismantled my unit & tried the re-solder trick with heat gun & it worked!

While i was there I scraped off the blue gunk & inserted a small copper coin (was perferct size) between the GPU & heat sink.

Computer seems a lot cooler when running now.

Cheers,

Scotty

Dave,

It appears the pictures to your guide are no longer available. Is there something we can work out to get those pics back up?

Looks like all pics are gone. Not sure if they are coming back.
Here’s another guide for removing the LCD screen. http://www.insidemylaptop.com/replaced-damaged-lcd-screen-in-hp-pavilion-dv2000-notebook/
That’s all I got at this point.

Alternatively, you can use instructions in the service manual for HP Pavilion dv2000 notebooks.
