R Lee,
I have the cooling fan making some grinding sounds sometimes. I want to replace JUST the fan and was
wondering what what I need to dissamble. Can I go in from the top (bezel, keyboard, etc…) or does it need to
be done by taking the entire bottom cover off?
In this model there is no easy access to the cooling fan. You’ll have to take apart the whole laptop. Download maintenance
and service guide from HP website, it has step-by-step laptop disassembly instructions.

george tarleton,
i replaced my power button ribbon and the power button itself. the internal speakers and power on/off button
still do not work. do you have any suggestions on what to try next?
Not sure if I can help you.
I believe the power button board is connected directly to the motherboard via the . When you push on the button,
the signal goes to the motherboard though the cable and the laptop turns on.
If you replaced the power button board and cable but the power button still doesn’t work it could be one of the following:
1. The ribbon cable is not connected properly. Make sure the orientation is right and check both connections.
2. One of the parts (power button board or ribbon cable) is defective.
3. Motherboard problem.
I don’t know what else it could be.

To Peter,
I have a dv6125 that I purchased in November of 2006 as part of a bundle (printer and camera) at OfficeMax. The
microphone and speakers broke in summer of 08 and I elected to limp by by plugging in speakers and mike when I needed
to … and this past summer when the power button finally got so bad it required Herculean force, a swap of the ribbon
cables fixed all three problems … (and of course disabled the mostly-useless Quickplay buttons — booting up now takes
longer as there must be something that tried to activate the QP buttons and finally times out)

Bryman,
i have a Dv9629us…..it looks pretty much the same as this……do you suppose it comes apart the same??
dv9000 series laptop looks very similar to dv6000 but it’s bigger.
