    Yesterday updated the BIOS to F.09 today the system will not boot, i get no BIOS screen, the screen just light up so i know it has power but just sits there and does nothing, no HDD access or anything.

    This is now the second DV2 that i have had, looks like it might have to go back again. might swap to a DV3 this time, anyone else had issues with the DV2
