Problem with DV9500

Ok heres the problem I just ran into with my bros laptop. I had it on the bed while charging still on but not paying it any mind. All of a sudden i hear this strange beeping then it shuts off. I lifted it up and felt the laptop and it was hoooot.

Gave it a few mins to cool off..fired it up and nothing appears on the screen. Took out the battery booted it up again..nothing on the screen. All the blue lights from quickplay and wifi lit up, sounds like its running but nothing on the screen. Any thoughts or tips? I hope its not dead

 

well let it cool down all the way, and then see what happens. Hopefully it was just the kill switch that turned it off because of the heat. If it still will not turn then try do a hard reset (hold down the power button for 1 min without power like no battery or ac) and then try plug it in again and see if it works. And if you post the first 6 digits of the serial number like cnf723 then we can see if it was a notebook under that group that had issues

Thanks

 

thanks ill let it cool for a bit longer. CNF713

 

here is a document about it http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/...7277&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN
but I guess since this is a dv9500 series it is not affected by the issue. But your notebook should still be covered by warranty and be able to get fixed for free, if the hard reset does not fix it.

 

yeah it definitely overheated
the beep was to alert you that it was shutting off because of overheating

 

Tried this and it worked. Had me scared for a min, my bro was about to kill me cause he tought he lost all of his porn and right before he leaves for a trip lol.

Thanks alot

 

in the future when you use it in bed, put a book under the laptop which encompasses the entire area of the laptop. This is what I do and it works fine.

 

glad it works again for you, but as Tokar said, if you put it on cloth it will block the vents thus it is going to have a really hard time cooling itself. So next time make sure the vents are open and ya use a book or something.

 

will do. He has a cooling fan for it but he didnt bring it over. But will keep that in mind for my 6500
