Sorry situation but the masses have become accustomed to inferior products.Ĭlass actions usually benefit only the lawyer. If it doesn't power on at all, I suppose your problem is different from mine.

even for a second? If so, try the freezing technique a few times. (I did immobilize the fan by inserting a toothpick through the vent before using the air) All is well.and I now own 2 newish notebooks. Blew compressed air into and around every possible opening without even removing the fans/motherboard etc and all sorts of dust and debris exhausted. I recently was gifted two GV6 HPs that were continually shutting down. Encouraging people to use these devices on their laps blocks air circulation and cooling fans. Hi, when I got the laptop there is a light that lit up on when the touchpad enabled. Note that I am using the updated term notebook and not laptop. Power lights on the Touchpad of HP Dv6 - 6001sa wont turn on. Hard to believe that operating temps would melt solder but more plausible that defective solder joints could expand/contract with failing connections. Well, OK, I read a number of sites concerning the variety of headaches related to this series of notebooks. The class action suit against nVidia opened the door for a class action suit against HP for failure to inform buyers of these units with the defective nVidia GPU chips. HP failed to do so and i saved my incident numbers with the date and time stamps as proof. Please use Philo209's suggestion and use canned air (available at most computer/electronics stores and Wal-Mart. That makes HP liable for the repairs since they had the oppertunity to place the blame on nvidea by informing me i needed to file before the deadline. Re: HP Pavilion dv6000 won't boot I would NOT suggest using a vacuum to clean out your components unless it is a grounded vacuum specifically designed for use in static sensitive applications. both of my units have one of these defective chips, but HP failed to notifiy me of the defect when i contacted them and chatted live with a agent.

The repair Tech said my video GPU had shorted out, but i can't undestand how it can short out if the unit has no power cord or battery and was not even being used.Īlso nVidea was sued for selling defective GPU chips and lost there case. The reason the freexing worked for some is because HP used sub-standard soder on the mother-boards and when the unit gets hot it melts and the connections break down over time.

I have tried 2 different ones and still i dont even get the battery charging indicator light to light up. The power cord and adaptor are not the problem.

Hp dv6 wont turn on
