DV6000 problem

[Anthony Chirles]

I have a Pavilion DV6000 laptop. The only way to turn it on is by touching the Quickplay button. The laptop starts in Quickplay (Windows does not appear.) When I exit Quickplay the laptop immediately goes into hibernation with no way to enter Windows.

for a list of many symptoms caused by motherboard failure, and laptops affected -- my fury is that altho my model number (dv9000) is covered, only certain pruduct numbers under dv9000 are included, and mine is not one of them! The problem is the motherboard, and the symptoms include loss of bootup, VERY slow bootup, WiFi stops working, etc. Send me an email at john (at) johnfrench.org if you have the symptoms but are not covered by their extension plan. If we join together we can stop their refusal to fix their machines. I spent hours with their call center and all they kept saying (politely, of course) is that my product number is not covered. The repair with shipping is well over $500 and it is because of their crappy motherboards!
