Hi, I just got back from a vacation to find my HP dv6000 not working exactly like I left it, so I thought I'd ask for help here.
Any info I think might help: Vista Home Premium 32bit; HP DV6000 Laptop; 12-cell battery, from original manufacturer (HP).
The problem: Last night when I started up my laptop it worked basically as I had left it, however when I plugged it into AC power it said "plugged in, not charging". I restarted and checked again, this time it said the usual "plugged in, charging", however it wasn't charging even after leaving it on AC power for about an hour. I accidentally kicked out the cord, and the computer turned off immediately.
I decided to call it a night and the next morning when I went to turn on my laptop, it only got to the loading screen (http://www.azumass.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/vista_boot_screen_1.gif) and would not go any further. I left the loading screen up for a good 20 minutes before it became clear it wasn't going to work (it usually only takes up to 1 minute-2 minutes to load). I forced the computer to turn off via the power button and started it up again. This time I launched startup repair but it did the same thing as before.
Does anybody have any idea how to fix this?
Edit: I don't know if it's worth mentioning but since the battery was acting up as well, I've just ordered a replacement and when it arrives I'm going to use that while I try to repair my computer.
