    I was just watching video on veoh on battery power, and suddenly the laptop just powered off by itself, preceded by a small "peep" sound. Then I tried pressing the power button, and it wouldn't turn on. It was able to turn on after I plugged in the power cord. I got the "Windows did not shut down properly" message. When windows was recovered and I checked the battery status, it had around 83% remaining. What could be causing this problem? Have anyone else had similar experience? I have a dv2700t that's still within the 21 days return period. Today is the first time it happened.

    Kind of odd. I'm guessing it's some kind of failure. Perhaps your laptop overheated and shutdown to save itself? That's one the reasons it would shutdown like that. Try to reproduce what happened while monitoring temps. If you can't reproduce it, then I wouldn't worry too much. I believe HP will cover you for hardware failure for a year.
