Hey guys
I have this customer's lappy it's a hp pavilion dv2000, apparently it started heating up and shutting down automatically, but now it's not turning on and all I get is 1 long beep followed by 2 short beeps, the laptop stays on but no display at all, you can hear the dvd drive and the drive and the fan are all on though, I am suspecting it's a motherboard problem and more definite it's a video card problem, anyone has any other suggestions.
P.S I removed ram, optical drive, HDD etc still get the same beep code.

yep friends laptop
same problem same issue used to overheat all the time
hp took it back numerous times and they said there was nothing wrong with it
on the 4th time binglee was feeling generous so they provided a refund and they bought a toshiba instead

important piece of info in that last sentence

Hey mate, if it gets to the stage where you want to sell it for parts, let me know.

have you opened it up to check if the CPU fan is running ?? or if the heat pipe is blocked ??

Yes I did, I opened it and striped it down to the main board, cleaned the fan, the heatsink, resit the cpu, checked the RTC battery, and put back together but still giving the same beep code, 1 long followed by 2 short ones.
I took out the battery, the HDD, changed the ram, still nothing.
the fan is working fine, you can hear the fan, the dvd drive and all the leds are working fine but no booting, no display even on an external screen.
It did turn on once(don't ask me how) but never happened again.
