HP pavilion dv9000 junk

by mrtike - 2/4/13 12:19 PM

my friend gave me there hp pavilion dv9000 said he keyboard was malfunctioning. It booted up into " corrupt or missing file(hal.dll).
I did a factory restore and got it working. The old keyboard had a couple of keys misssing. I replaced the keyboard. and now its doing the same thing . after a while the keyboard stops working( type a couple of keys and no input).
I have heard of the issue with the nvidia 6150 graphics as being faulty and overheating..
I believe the overheating issue is the culprit for the keyboard not working.
I can not get a reading on the fan speed. The bios doesnt support fan speed and I tried Speed Fan. Speed fan shows the nvidia running hot at about 57-c and the dual core intel cpu running at normal temps.
Does any know how I can get a reading on the fan speed. It seems like the fan should be blowing faster.
Is there any way i can check the fan speed on this.
I am aware of all the nvidia issues with this .
thanks for any insight

It is also a solder and assembler fault. Good to know you know the chip fault but you didn't write a word about the other issues.

just a little foot note. According to the service manual there are 6 air vents on the bottom of the laptop. This particular one only has 5. The one on the bottom middle is missing

You claimed you knew this and we know when it fails what to do. I'm guessing you just want to vent or confirm.

I just wanted to confirm things and was wondering if any one could recommend a good software program to check fan speed and heating etc. Speed fan wasnt bad. do u know of anything better? I didnt know about any issues with this thing untill after i started researching a little . I did a reboot and the wireless card died. My recommendations for this thing are "flying Lessons" I also found out that my friend sent the laptop back to HP for service when it was still under warrenty for a big white line running up and down in the middle of the screen.

I've found those apps to be hit and miss. We'll just clean it and look at replacing heat sink compound if it's been over a few years. This is cheap to do and maybe it's a good thing folk won't do the simple work. Keeps the industry gears turning.

DV9xxx issues

by Willy - 2/6/13 9:55 AM

In Reply to: hp junk by mrtike

The laptop mtrbd. where the video section resides and basically you know it runs hot. The overall effect is, something got to give and that generally means the weakest link. The DV9xxx series is prone to problems and usual fix is to replace the mtrbd. besides any direct damage, like video. Suggest you hand it to someone else or toss it or rape it for parts or buy on eBay or used market whatever it takes to fix, but the problem will come back sooner or later.

I use PCWizard 2012 for heat and fan checks, if you still want to peruse this. It's a good overall pgm. to use.

tada -----Willy happy
