My nc6000 will some times lockup and require a hard shutdown. Too, it may not boot after sevarl tries. A post suggested that I hold down or apply pressure to the right upper portion of the laptop. This method worked to force a boot. It works all most all of the time. the machine may still seize at will. It has been suggested that the revision of motherboard that I have may be the problem. Hp denies knowledge of any problem and offer no suggestions. I found this hard to believe that they have no knowledge but rather they are playing the percentages. The problem may be a known hardware problem (with a cost factored in) that they will not address unless they are forced to.
If there is an interest, I would be willing to champion a class action to force their hand and make them addresss the problem, one way or another. If there are a number of you who have the same problem, contact me with the specifics of your problem and the steps taken, so that I can develop a list of affected users, and I will file an action in New York State court.
