Here is the manual you are looking for for a DV8000.

For the DV1000 the repair manual is
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/...
These are available on the HP website; just tricky to find.
Good Luck and let know how it works, but hearing from other people they are having mixed results even when HP does the repairs,-

One more comment - the HP rep
had the nerve to ask me if I travel with my PC laptop
He suggested that the problem may have been caused
by my carrying my laptop around.
First: No, I don't - I only use it at home - I have another laptop at work
(A dell that has been all over the country with me)
Second: That is the primary purpose of buying a portable laptop !!!
Starting this weekend from now on I will be posting negative reviews
on websites unless one of the three HP rep's suppossedly listening and participaiting on this site contact me. -

Thanks - Claire
I did fill out the info for the class action lawsuit - it does not hurt to try
I contacted HP (somebody in India - of course) and they offered to fix my PC for a flat fee of $420.00 and they will give just a 90 day warranty on it after repair. They recomended replacing the motherboard, video card
and processor. What a lousy offer - I have read some comments from people who had the repairs and the problems are reoccurring after the PC is rebuilt
they must really like losing business !!! -

HP DV1000 - overheats - shuts downI purchased an HP DV1000 becasue we had purchased many at work. My PC worked up until the warranty expired. I have replaced the cooling fan and tested using other memory chips, hard drives, the wireless card, etc... The PC is not worth replacing a mother board - I am back to using an old dell inspiron with XP. If they want by business again at home or at work (A Large Semi-Conductor Company) - HP needs to either recall or offer discounts to people with these faulty PC's.
