Since this is in the dv9000 line up be sure you are not...

Running into that failed dv9000 laptop issue. Your story might be that your machine crashed and that's why you are doing this. If your story is that be sure to call HP to get the machine fixed. I have run into a few failed dv9000's and HP is taking about a week to 10 days to fix them.

Tell more, get more.
