ISSUE ON HP Pavilion DV4 SERIES

I bought my HP Pavilion DV4 series in the US last 2009. The warranty has already expired.
On the first week of january my laptop experienced a problem. When I try to turn on my laptop, all the lights were blinking and the fan is still working. But the screen is still blank. Then a few seconds after I turn on my laptop, the fan suddenly stops and the screen is still blank. All the LEDs are lighted up except for the Processor indicator. I tried connecting a monitor to see if the screen is the problem. But there is still no output in the montior. I asked some technician regarding this and all of them told me that its a motherboard problem.
Could you please help me how can i resolve this? Did HP released a notice regarding this problem?

I am having the exact same issue. Just started about a week ago when I plugged a sound board into it to project the sound. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  • WD 500Gb HD with Pavilion DV4 series

    The hard drive in my Pavilion DV4 has gone bad.  The original HD was 250 Gb  I purchased a Western Digital Scorpio Blue 320 Gb to replace it.  The computer will not recognize the new hard drive.  Using the restore disks just gives an "error 100a", and the startup diagnostic doesn't find the hard drive.  Is there a compatability problem with this drive?

    Do you have a Windows installation CD? I would connect the drive to another PC to verify it is working.
    If possible, I would partition and format it and then, back on the Pavilion, try again to boot from the Windows CD and see if the drive will be shown as an installation destination. If you suspect that the drive is not working properly, do not hesitate to contact the reseller and get a replacement.

  • Graphics/Video Problems on HP Pavilion dv4-1155se

    We have a brand spanking new HP Pavilion dv4-1155se running Windows Vista 64-bit Edition that continues to have issues.  At random times, the laptop display will flicker 2 or 3 times, and the laptop will blue screen, stating a problem with the graphics adapter.  We've updated the BIOS and graphics drivers from HP to no avail.  We've also donwloaded a driver directly from ATI which seemed to resolve the issue for an extended period, but has re-occured today.
    The only thing I can think of is that Vista may be using a built-in driver for the graphics adapter which is no good.  I'm considering the possibility that even though I updated the graphics with a driver directly from ATI, Vista overwrote it with its own again.  The laptop is currently off-site so I cannot verify this, but if anyone has had similar issues I'd like to see if you were able to find a fix.
    Regards,
    Phil

    Do you also get this error (in addition to the BSOSs): "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered"
    I started receiving the flickering screen and then the nvlddmkm error problem after I downloaded:
    Realtek - Network - Realtek RTL8168B/8111B Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.0)
    Installation date: ‎11/‎8/‎2008 3:20 PM
    Installation status: Successful
    Update type: Optional
    DriverUpdate: Realtek Network software update released in July, 2008
    And:
    Device Driver Package Install: HP Developmen...
    I have a NVIDIA GPU and since you have ATI our similar errors may just be coincidental and/or a result of Windows Update.
    I do not know how the Realtek d/l would conflict with the GPU and I also updated HP Heath Check and HP Quick Play and HP Quick Launch Buttons just before Realtek.  I keep 'Print Screen' shots of my System Restore page to document the chronology of my updates and software installs.  Then through Problem Reports and Solutions, which displays the exact time of the "video hardware error", I was able to associate the aforementioned 3 recent updates as potential problems.
    Many dv9000 computers (and more) are experiencing the video display problems I am and their complete computer failures occur soon after receiving those video warnings. 
    Therefore, as you noted, your problem or mine might be as innocuous as an updated driver conflict from Windows Update or an HP driver update.

    I would say its just a conicidence and recommend you to do a system restore. As its an intermittent problem, you never know if you face same issue once again.

  • HP Pavilion dv4 will not start up

    Hi! I am hoping someone can help me. My friend has an HP Pavilion dv4--2045dx  running Windows 7 and it will not start up. Once it is turned on the hp logo appears for a quick second and then a black screen with a blinking cursor in the left, top corner comes up. If I press ctrl alt del and then esc I can get into the menu for F1, F2, F11 etc. I have run and passed all of the system diagnostics tests (Start up, Memory and Hard Drive). I have tried to reset the BIOS to default condition and also tried to connect the laptop to my TV to see if it was the screen that doesn't work, but it wasn't. I tried a hard reset also. When I press F11 for a system recovery, nothing happens. It just goes right back to the black screen with blinking cursor. All of the other F-keys work and I am able to pull up screens for each, except the F11 key.
    I am not very computer literate but am trying everything I can think of to get it back to factory settings or system recovery. If anybody out there has any idea what I'm talking about (I'm not sure I even do) please please give me some suggestions!! 
    I tried to write all of the information I can think of, but if you have any questions about the issue I'll be glad to answer what I can!
    Any suggestions/help are GREATLY appreciated!! Thanks in advance for any thoughts you may share!!

    Hi,
    Try the following to see if the Hard Drive is accessible.  The Ubuntu operating system CD you create can run from the CD alone ( ie it doesn't have to install on the Hard Drive )  When you've created the CD, follow the rest of the instructions and see if you can access the HDD - you may want to back up your existing files if you can.

  • Pavilion dv4 3138tx drivers after reinstallation of plain windows 7 home premium

    My Pavilion DV4 3138tx notebook recovery disk was crashed, and HP did not give recovery disk when it was purchased. I have to download the windows 7 home premium edition from "mydigitallife.info" website to download the legalized windows 7 reinstallation image. After installation, OS is working, but many drivers seem not working, e.g. ethernet network controller. I tried to download the driver from official HP website for model 3138tx, which is realtek LAN network driver, but after installation, it says "xxx files not found", any way, it is not working, and HP support told me they can not help me, asked me to go for realtek..... I looked up the network controller hardware ID, it is  PCI/VEN10EC DEV8168SUBSYS..@$%&^*(&^ , I looked up in google, it is realtek chip for 10/100/1000 gigabit LAN network card. Very strange, anyone can help me?
    As per HP advice, I also tried to reinstall chipset driver, which is listed on official HP website for drivers of 3138tx model, it doesn't help either. My laptop was purchased in Malaysia with origial windows 7 home premium edition in English, with product key at bottom of the machine.

    I have an HP Pavilion dv4-1222nr Entertainment Notebook PC running Windows Vista that currently cannot find a bootable disc.  I am trying to buy a recovery disc using HP's support options but the search never finishes.  It states to let it run for 3 minutes but it runs for hours without returning results/no results.  Any idea where I can find one? All I need it for is to get some old documents off this laptop.   Used this search:http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Pavilion-dv4-1200-Entertainment-Notebook-PC-series/3768829/model/3866464#Z7_3054ICK0KGTE30AQO5O3KA30R1 

    Hello Busterbrown92,
    I see that you are having problems with the recovery disc creation on your HP computer.
    I would suggest contacting HP support and telling them what is happening so that you can get some options for recovery media.

  • HP Pavilion dv4 Notebook, LED Error Code blinks everlasting

    Hi
    When I turn on my Pavilion dv4 Notbook the screen is black, the powersupply LED stays on, the Wifi LED is orange, Speaker LED is orange too and the volume adjustment LED is white.
    The LED's near capslock and numlock blink. There is this  site with several different LED error codes from 1 to 6 blinks. But mine blinks forever without stopping once it has started.
    What does this mean and how can I fix it?
    Thanks, John

    Hello again trishjax,
    Thank you for the update on your issue is has helped. I agree with you based on what you just posted it definitely sounds like something has broken loose of the solder on your computer. The only thing I can suggest is you either  contact HP Technical Support for repair options, or go to a local computer repair shop and have it looked at. If it is a hardware issue this is really your only option if you do not know how to do it yourself.
    I know it was not the answer you were looking for, but I believe it will help you with your issue. I would like to thank you again for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
    Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!
