The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

HP Pavillion dv6000 suddenly stopped working, won't boot, no HDD activity

Asked by ramblinman in Personal Computers, General Laptop, PC Laptops

Tags: , ,

I have a year and a half old HP pavillion dv6000 that suddenly stopped working today. I was using it, started doing something else, and when I came back a little while later, the screen was blank. When I tried rebooting it, it was just a blank screen. The lights all work(kinda). When I start it up, I notice the Hard Drive activity light come on for just an instant, followed by the disk drive clicking, followed by 2 short beeps(the beeps don't occur when the disk drive isn't inserted), followed by the fan coming on briefly, and then nothing. After about 10 or 15 seconds, it attempts to restart itself, and continues to do so until I turn it off.

It behaves this way regardless of it running on battery, running on AC, and running on AC with the battery removed. I have noticed that when running off of AC and the battery inserted, the charging light isn't lit, but when the machine is turned off, and plugged in the light is on..

I've tried removing the memory, swapping the cards, etc., removing the hard drive, removing the opt. drive, and still nothing. Any help would be great, Start Free Trial
