HP Pavilion dv1000: Why won't my screen work?

Sat, 27 Jan 2018 10:44:28 -0700

My screen would first flicker on and off occasionally for a couple months until finally it did not light up at all. I can hold a flashlight to it and the screen does work just fine, it just doesn't want to light up. I tried replacing the back light but that didn't help my case any. I also tried connecting an exterior monitor but it doesn't recognize the monitor at all. Any ideas what this could be? And roughly how much would cost? Thanks for your help!

HP Pavilion dv1000: HP Pavilion dv1744tu: No POST, nothing

Sat, 15 May 2021 06:06:42 -0700

I've been at this for months, and still no progress.

So I've got a dv1744tu, I've put a new CPU in (T1350 —> T2300E), then it wanted to do nothing. No POST, nada.

My immediate thought is to try cleaning the RAM sticks, as they failed a lot for me prior to the CPU upgrade. Cleaned it, didn't work. I later got 2 sticks of 1GB DDR2 800 Hynix RAM modules to see if replacements will work, nope, not at all.

Here’s some findings while I was working on this problem:

No, the display’s backlight is not dead. Obviously I tried pointing a flashlight at it.
The CPU should be alive - as if I remove the RAM sticks, it will throw me a 4 beep code (no RAM found)
The LEDs (caps lock, volume, and MMC LED) will blink once after I press the power key, which is normal behavior
The fan will not spin, so the CPU starts heating up
There is disk activity for the CD and Hard Drive, the CD drive does spin up on boot and stop (which is normal), and the hard drive just keeps on spinning as if you just plugged the power connector onto it
I've tried resetting the CMOS and the classic power button electricity release methods, didn't work
The CPU I upgraded did POST once, but it was a painfully slow POST and after I shut it down, it turned into the above
I tried swapping back to my old CPU, same behavior

HP Pavilion dv1000: I've tried all the "tricks" and my computer still won't turn on

Sun, 04 Aug 2019 18:59:50 -0700

My dinosaur of a computer won't turn on, but I love it and refuse to give up! It hadn't been in use for a while, but if I took the battery out, pressed the power button for 30 sec and turned it back on after replacing everything, it usually started right back up. There is no activity/lights of any sort. I have since tried taking the hard drive out and memory board replacing them one at a time (as suggested) and still no lights, camera, action... I read that the issue might be with the motherboard? Has anyone else had an issue with this and may have a solution for it, or is it as simple as replacing the motherboard?

Thanks in advance for any help!
