Kyle,
Could be motherboard failure.

I tried the top RAM stick, and it did not help, and the boittom one will not move.
The Harddrive is not the problem, and I’ve tried TWO hard resets and it didn’t help.
The thing’s been dead for 6 years.

Kyle,

When I start my dv5000 from A/C it beeps 4 times and falls silent…
Any help?

Possible memory failure.
Try removing memory modules one by one. One of the modules could be defective.
If you have only one module, try replacing it with a new one.

I have an HP Pavillion dv5000, initially it lost its sound abrupptly, then a few days later it came back on, then it lost the sound again except this time instead of coming back on again, I could not turn the lap top off. nothing on the keyboatd works, it is locked up! when I close the screen, with about one inch open the screen goes off, but it stays on.

So help ! what is going on?? and how I can fix it?
thank you.

Andrei,

my dv5000 died about 3 yrs. ago, but i’ve kept it around in the hopes of fixing it someday. it basically gets stalled from completely powering up. when i push the power button, the media buttons light up (volume, dvd, etc), then the fan starts up then dies within 2 secs. and that’s all that happens. any clue on what the issue might be? thanks.

This could be memory related failure.
Do you have two memory modules installed in the laptop? Try removing them one by one and test the laptop with each memory module installed into different slots. It’s possible removing the failed memory module will fix the problem.
If you have only one memory module installed, try replacing it with a known good module.

I need help regarding my laptop. If it is plugged it and booted from there, the media buttons light up for 1/8 of a second and it shuts off. It dosen’t do anything at all from battery.
Any suggestions?

Ok, so my dv5000 died about 3 yrs. ago, but i’ve kept it around in the hopes of fixing it someday. it basically gets stalled from completely powering up. when i push the power button, the media buttons light up (volume, dvd, etc), then the fan starts up then dies within 2 secs. and that’s all that happens. any clue on what the issue might be? thanks.

fyi, i’ve followed your instructions on taking it apart and found nothing obviously wrong.
