I have an hp dv9000 laptop that started to act up yesterday. It began to get slow, and things would not open. I shutdown, then i turned it back on, but i got an error message, something to th effect of windows is not configured properly, or something about recently installed hardware/software, anyway it said to use some lauch repair thing. it would not do it until 5 or 10 shutdowns later. When i ran it, it said that it either found nothing, or there was a problem thact could not be fixed.

I think this could be software related problem or hard drive failure.

1. Back up all personal files and try reimaging the hard drive back to factory defaults from the recovery disc.
2. If reimaging the hard drive doesn’t help and the laptop still fails same way, it’s possible that you have a failing hard drive. Try replacing the hard drive and run recovery disc again.

the problem with laptop is the power button itself. I have to press it really hard and it is becoming worse everyday.

It’s hard to tell what is gong on without looking inside the laptop.
If the power button is made of plastic, it’s possible the plastic piece contacting with the power button worn out.

i have a lenovo laptop ,it was working very well until last night.i had the start up problem.whenever i pressed the start button it blinked and gone.I tried starting many times but in vain .

Maybe the power adapter is dead and battery doesn’t have enough charge to start the laptop? Test the power adapter, make sure it outputs correct voltage or test your laptop with another adapter.

my hp dv 9000 has sound every now and then and it won’t start
windows vista and windows 7 both fresh installs same problem
when it hangs it won’t even boot in safe mode or from disc
I have tried every thing from new hard drive,ram,restore,fresh install of vista and windows 7, new cmos battery.
after i installed winsows 7 i had sound but lost it when it tried to update and locked up at logo screen. I also did start up repair I have all the right drivers I am sure! I think it is the mother board but not sure, so I ordered one and I just wanted to know if anyone had any other idea or if you also think this is a mother board.

It’s possible that you have a faulty motherboard and HP knows about this problem. They replace motherboards on some HP dv2000/dv6000/dv9000 notebook at no charge even if it’s out of warranty. Here’s more info about free motherboard replacement program for these models.

Yesterday I tried to turn it on, it booted and got frozen and left only grey screen, I waited for 20 min or so and then manually turn it off, then on I made series of attempts to turn on, all It gave me was a blinking light and whirring sound of hard disk for 10 sec and nothing happened, does anyone know how to solve this issue??

1. Could be failed memory module. Try replacing memory with a known good module.
2. Could be failed motherboard.
