Inappropriate?hey friend I have been on google for about an hour now looking for a simpler way to solve this problem. its caused by a power failure.
if you have your battery out. while the computer is turned on and you unplug it. this will happen. its some saftey bs. how I get it to work again is by taking off the door to expose the ram underneath the wireless adapter.
there is a watch battery remove it and your bios resets and ur computer will work. you might need to re configure ur bios again. and ur system clock.
my computer will not boot with the function. sata native support enabled. if ur computer refuses to load after removing the battery try disabling that.
if you are unsure about where the battery is.
its the middle door. underneath the wireless adapter. the wireless adapter will have 2 antenna wires connecting to it. and be held down by 2 screws.
remove this and u will see the battery. remove the battery and put it back together.
took me forever to figure this out.
enjoy ur working again laptop.

I forgot to say. if you don't know how to get into bios setup its F10 while the Hp logo is showing. and you do not leave the watch battery out. as soon as you remove it. you reinstall it. -
the battery is under the wireless adapter,after removing the battery then putting it back the laptop worked like new.. thanks a million

Inappropriate?Although in some scenarios resetting the bios may solve your problem.. In most cases the problem is your video card which unfortunately is integrated into the motherboard. The video card will not post (show a display) because it has failed. This seems to be a relatively common problem in the DV5000 to DV9000 range of hp laptops. I have ran into 3 identical scenarios in the same week, and one of the new motherboards did the same thing after one day. Supposedly one of the main reasons that the video cards in this particular series fail has to do with the heat from the processors heatsink passing across the video card.
I’m Dissapointed
