HP Laptop Startup Problem

I have an HP dv2000 that I got summer 2007, and honestly, it's had tons of problems.

Anyways, lately for some reason when I start it up at first the screen will not come on and all and it like won't even start, it'll just kind of sit there with the lights on and the fan on. In order to get it to start right I have to hold down the power button and turn it off and on like 3 times before it finally starts normally with the screen and everything.

Like an hour ago I came back to my room after leaving the computer on. The screen had turned off (like it was asleep) but it was still running so I went to tap on the keyboard and mouse and the screen wouldn't come back on so I restarted it but it wouldn't turn back on. I tried it like 15 times and finally, it started properly.

What is probably wrong with my computer? It's not the OS because its before that, plus I just reinstalled it. Is it something with bios or with the motherboard or what??

Got the same problem at startup

Well, I got the same problem as well. I´ve updated the BIOS from HP site, but the problem remain! One positive thing is that the screen become brighter again (that function disapeared about a year ago) Still the fan starts and the lights go on, but then, nothing... There is a clicking sound from the DVD. Can it be something with the boot? I´ve tried to reseat the RAM and all the other thing suggested at HP site. What to DO??? // Christian (sweden) - about to BBQ the laptop
