Bios does not load hp pavilion 9000 laptop

right. it's called an I/O board, and usually it is a separate piece of hardware from the mobo, but it does send a signal through the motherboard(it has to to interact with all the other components).

what's weird is it actually turns the laptop on... it is a touch-sensitive interface right? it isn't like your physically pushing a button, it just "senses" your touch... which would NOT work if the laptop is actually powered off..(i dont think)


it sounds like when you push power... the pc sends a voltage "loop" through the system to verify all components are getting signal, then it will boot... but your "loop" isn't getting the response it requires, so it turns on then turns off. this can be caused by many things, mainly hardware. i.e. processor, motherboard, RAM, wireless card... i have seen all of these components cause this issue.

Is the possible hardware fault likely to be related to the known HP wireless failure on my HP Pavilion DV9000 and if so could there be some way of resurrecting the wireless adapter by manipulating the "quick play" setup?

I would just leave the laptop on all the time....

I do not think you will be able to "fix" it, unless you replace hardware.

Did you ever try my troubleshooting steps? also, take the battery out/ unplug the AC adapter and hold the power button for 30 seconds to discharge any "build-up"... then turn it on.... try that a few times and see if it still gives random failures.

I am out of ideas.... good luck.

Leaving the laptop on all of the time is an option but not one I would like to use. I have tried all of the troubleshooting steps, taking the battery out etc to no avail. Thanks for your info and good luck to you too.
