Hardware issues

HP has identified hardware issues with certain HP Pavilion dv2000/dv6000/dv9000 and Compaq Presario V3000/V6000 series notebook PCs equipped with Nvidia chipsets, most of them with AMD microprocessors. For the dv2000 series, this includes many models from the dv20xx, dv21xx, dv22xx, dv23xx, dv24xx, dv25xx, dv26xx, dv27xx, and the dv28xx series (where xx is any other 2 digits). Many of these issues were caused by overheating, a common problem with many of these HP laptops of this timeframe (as well as other manufacturers).

Some symptoms include:

The Intel-based dv2000 series with Core Solo, Core Duo, Core 2 Duo or Pentium Dual Core processors and Intel 945 chipsets do not suffer from this problem, except for those with dedicated Nvidia video chips.
