| 863814 | 2010-03-03 22:08:00 | Im trying tro get an HP DV6000 to boot, it sits and hangs on the HP logo screen, if i press ESC t0 change the boot order, and select the notebook hard drive, it appears to boot. the system does have a BIOS setup password which i do not know, how do i get it to boot normally without having an additional step to start it. | aidanmaz (7180) | ||
| 863815 | 2010-03-03 22:09:00 | So, whose laptop is it, if there's a password to get into the BIOS. And you dont know it? Is it yours? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 863816 | 2010-03-03 22:11:00 | I work for a 2nd hand traders, we have brought it, original owner doesnt know the password | aidanmaz (7180) | ||
| 863817 | 2010-03-03 22:15:00 | see if this works (www.youtube.com) | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 863818 | 2010-03-03 22:16:00 | Possibly the person that sold it to you did not own it. | Sweep (90) | ||
| 863819 | 2010-03-03 23:30:00 | After you get it running, sell it. These machines have a known major mobo/nVidia chip fault. Give it a Google, you'll find hundreds of angry HP DV6000 series complaints. There is a Class Action Lawsuit against HP in the USA ... |

| 863820 | 2010-03-03 23:40:00 | I have a dv6000. There is a setting in BIOS to say how long you have the HP splash screen up. @The Hitcher: Really? whats wrong with them? |

| 863821 | 2010-03-03 23:58:00 | @The Hitcher: Really? whats wrong with them? The mobos are prone to overheating which eventually causes complete failure. The first sign of a problem is loss of your Wireless. No amount of trying to reinstall the drivers will fix it. Eventually the machine will fail to boot. A replacement board is the only option. HP will fix under warranty, otherwise they don't want to know. HP has issued a BIOS update which basically speeds up the CPU fan but it's a workaround, not a permanent fix. I've had around 20 of these machines come through my office and it isn't pleasant giving our clients the bad news. |

| 863822 | 2010-03-04 00:03:00 | Ha glad I dont use my wireless any more. I wonder if that is why my laptop is playing up? | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 863823 | 2010-03-04 00:06:00 | Ha glad I dont use my wireless any more. I wonder if that is why my laptop is playing up? If you are seeing any graphics corruption on boot or your laptop hangs on boot from time to time, then yes, most likely. |
