    I had a friend bring me her HP DV6000 telling me it won't boot.
    When the power switch is pressed, all the lights come on for about 4 seconds, then go off. The screen never initializes.
    I have noticed that touching the pad near the on switch/speakers will have the same effect.
    I popped the switch panel and it looks to be plugged in and all the wiring intact.
    I borrowed a known good battery and charger and it makes no difference.
    The existing battery and charger work fine in the other DV6000.
    Is it possible I need a new switch or cable? or is the mainboard toast?
    It's hard to do much diagnosing when it won't POST.

    Thanks for the reply.
    Apparently it is a known issue, with a recall.

    HP is fixing it under the recall.
