i have formated my laptop wiyjhout taking its backup for recovery system softwares,i have lost all my softwares especially drivers.how can i get these drivers specific for my laptop model dv 1000
October 7th, 2007 at 12:23 pm
When you bought the computer it should have come with the original CD’s to re-install everything in the box.
October 10th, 2007 at 6:59 am
it is a good computer but i have this problem where it starts to shut down because the cpu is over heating. I think this a flaw in the design because the cooling fans are on the bottom of the laptop and it cant get any air.
October 10th, 2007 at 9:52 am
I have the same laptop but I don’t have that problem. I’d suggest getting a laptop cooling pad with a fan on it. It’s thin and you place it directly under the laptop. You connect it to the USB port and it’ll cool down your laptop.
October 10th, 2007 at 9:53 am
Another thing you can do is just elevate the back of the laptop a bit so that it’s not touching the desk evenly, in order to allow the heat to flow out.

I bought the HP Pavilion 1000 about a year and a half ago. I unfortunately did not purchase an extended warranty and am currently out hundreds of dollars and still do not have a working laptop. I have gone through 3 hardrives, 2 in the last month. The HP support number, which you have to pay extra for, is no help at all. The “support team” reads off a script, has no real knowledge of computers and refuses to let you to speak to supervisiors. The 2 new hardrives were bought according to the support teams guidence. After a 3 1/2 hour phone call, most of which I was on hold, the man I was on the phone with told me it was not the hardrive but the software. Because I did not buy an exteneded warranity I am expected to pay more money, with absolutly no hope of actually having my computer fixed.I am a second year college student, work two jobs and have no time or money to continously be lead on by HP. The customer service is not worth the hundreds you spend and it seems rather fishy to me that barely a month after my one year warrainty ended is when my computer began having these problems. It is almost as though there is an interal clock built in so that you will have to spend more money. Take it from a broke college student who was lead on by a support team who simply reads off a troubleshooting sheets, which can be found on the internet, do not buy HP. I thought I was buying a quality laptop based on the HP name and reviews. I have been lead on and suggest that no one wastes their time and hard earned money on HP computers.

I have a HP dv1000 for 2.5 years. suddenly my monitor is dead. not completely, I still can see a very vague images in the dark screen. it works fine if connected to an external monitor.
any idea?
February 23rd, 2008 at 4:06 am
@MaxPhil: The backlight is dead. You’ll have to replace the screen.
February 28th, 2008 at 5:30 pm
Not impressed by this laptop at all. Slow RAM frequency. Low RAM in general. Lots of extras expansion slots and shit like that but overall performance is poor. Single core processor rather than dual. So if u have one get rid of it as soon as possible, the sooner the better, seems most of these are defective. Writing from my workplace now and found this site after uninstalling the sound drivers by mistake (touchpad is shitty and clicked the wrong place (never asked not to uninstall it just deleted it)) Tried the HP DV1000 standart drivers from their site. They simply wont work nice aint it ? Still there is a chance with the recovery discs i have at home.

you can find drivers at the hp website just type your model number and drivers on the search box
March 24th, 2008 at 8:33 am
you press f11 immediately when you start up
April 1st, 2008 at 9:12 pm
Hey man, you are saying I can find the driver on the search box of hp?! I tried, I even chated with one of supporte staff and guess what was the price she/he gave me? 400 DOLLAR!!!!!! Come on man, my note book doesn’t worth so much
April 2nd, 2008 at 9:46 am
I do agree with the Nicole’s post on November 26th, 2007 at 6:23 pm. I bought an extended warranty for the HP pavilion dv 1000 because since the begining it had severe problems. I sent it twice to HP techinicians so they could fix the problem. The second time sent, they replaced the hard drive. Now, that the extended warranty has ended it has a hard drive problem again. They are suggesting buying a new HD, a ‘genuine one’ they said. But I had 2 genuines before and they came with failures. It seems like the computer is just waiting for the warranty to be expired to colapse again. Don’t buy this computer.

i cant find driverz of ma dv1000 lAPtop i had these bt not working when installed
June 26th, 2008 at 6:06 am
I’ve had this laptop for about 3 years now, and it has required a new hard disk and a new lcd, (I think the hdd was my fault, as I sometimes left it on in the bag, and I’m lucky the cpu didn’t fail), I still feel like it’s a solid laptop. It hasn’t needed any other maintenance and has never bsod’d.

December 14th, 2008 at 3:31 pm
unfortunately the problem with laptops is that often times it costs more to fix one than to just buy another one.
December 18th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
Hi guys, this is a good laptop. Up to now, after 2 year using, I have no serious problem with it. It’s still working in good performance

i got hp dv1000. when i install xp sp 2. installation is very fast but when start up very slow. the start up bar take 55 times then only window appear. i already change the ram, harddisk but still the same. its not because of virus. its maybee the hardware itself. why the cmos in hp dv1000 very less compare to other laptop. there is no way to disable hardware in hp dv1000. please advice my regarding this problem
February 7th, 2009 at 9:34 am
I bought this PC around summer 2008. It worked great. But recently, possibly due to Virus, it took a long time to start up or launch an application. Can I re-install a new xp operation system to get this addressed, and if so, where can I get the system CD?
February 12th, 2009 at 2:24 am
thanks for HP,, good luck
March 14th, 2009 at 10:35 pm
well,, im haveing a problem with mine as well,, this is the second time im haveing this probelm, where the laptop jsut turns off,, start it up then mabe 10mins later of even a few secs it just shuts off,, now what i did to fix the problem befor was replace the motherboard with a v2000 compaq, fits nicely, just difrent color leds on the board, well, its been about 4 months now and im haveing the same problem, i think it may be the harddrive, because i can take it out and the thing will stay on all day in bios, but if i losen 3 screws on the back, its fine,, but may still shut off after a few mins or a day? anyone haveing this problem where it jsut shutsdown randomly? and has found a fix for it?
p.s i may buy a harddrive new and see what happens,,
