My HP DV 2000 Laptop
I have this HP DV2000 Notebook since year 2006, I love the performance, speed even in a 1 GB RAM and 80 GB Hard Disk Drive. For a person like me, who's past time is just making scripts for websites using Notepad++, and XAMPP it's very much okay.
But after 5 years this problem came,
I went to a HP Store in one of the big malls in the city, and they don't know what's the trouble. One of the guys told me to go to the HP Service center, and so I went there under the rainy skies and the traffic. Probably, it is a HP Service center, so it's not only me on the line, but others also with problems with their laptops. Until my turn, the attendant explains to me the possibilities, we've agreed that it's not a problem with the RAM, or Hard Drive because it boots. I suggested that it should be with the display so it's the video card, but with this type of machine the video card is also mounted to the mother board, so we concluded that it's the mother board is having trouble. The attendant told me to replace the mother board with a brand new, with the price of 28000 PHP, and service charge of 1600, it made me teared my eyes. I can buy a brand new laptop with that much of amount. After asking me, will I go with it, she referred me to another computer repair shop that fixes a computer until a component level repair.
The computer repair shop is a ride away from there, it seems like that it is a hidden shop that only nearby residence knows. The head in that shop talk to me and explain the problem and again it's not only me having the same problem with the same machine, I am amazed that the machine before me is already fixed and ready to be claimed by the owner, they bill me 5000 PHP with it, and I have my machine the day after I was there. They consumed 20 hours to do the repair, I searched from youtube for a possible solution and I found this video HP DV2000 Video Card Repair. I posted this staff so that others will also be aware of a possible solution that even a secondary level students can do. HP is doing really business, no offense to them.
