One of my friends recently purchased an HP Pavilion DV2000 notebook pc. He wanted to know that if you charged your notebook for a long period of time, will this damage the notebook? He said that one of his other friends told him that if you left your laptop on charge for days and days, it can melt the charger’s wires and cause internal damages to the laptop. Is this true? Because my friend leaves his notebook charged almost 24/7, just so that anytime he wants to take it somewhere else, he can rely on a fully charged battery. Does extensive charging cause damages like this? Thanks!

Usb Devices Not Recognized?
November 6th, 2009I’ve got an HP Pavilion zv6000, it’s a laptop, about 5 years old. The USB ports don’t work, when a mouse or similar device is plugged in a message pops up saying that the devices are not being recognized, when a USB storage device is plugged in the computer freezes and has to be shut off manually. Needless to say, no USB devices are working. I formatted the hard drive and reinstalled Windows and Service Pack 3 and the problem still exists. I’ve also tried unplugging it, popping the battery out and letting it sit for about a half hour. I’ve installed the drivers HP lists under the computer on their website but none of them were for motherboards or USB drivers.

Computer Restarts Constantly…diagnosis Help.?
November 6th, 2009So I got this laptop (HP Pavilion DV9000 Entertainment PC) with Windows Vista Home Premium. Here is the problem…
When you turn it on and the computer restarts before the BIOS even comes on. So my first reaction is that the screen is busted. But no history or signs of physical damage. So next I checked the fan for the CPU, works just fine. I cleared the BIOS by removing the CMOS battery, nothing. I took out the hard drive and attached it to a USB adapter to my desktop, works fine. I attached an external monitor to the laptop and moved the image over…nothing because it restarts before it gets anywhere. I put in a CD to boot off…still no image, BUT it did not restart. Lastly, took of the battery and ran of wall current.
So, this leaves me with either a busted screen, a messed up boot files on the hard drive, or hardware issue. Any other Ideas?
