Watch that DC plug/adaptor, Dave. I have a DV1000 that has caused me nothing but trouble. Probably incidental, but not a fun fix.

Pooped out maybe a month after my warranty expired (1 year), wouldn't charge - grabbed a new adapter to see if that was the problem, worked for about a month then failed again, new adapter worked for the same amount of time, so now I gotta grab a new plug off eBay and get that installed too (as I don't know my way around a soldering iron well enough ;) ).

Just be careful unplugging it from the mains. Those plugs die really quickly and really commonly esp. on HP models (from research I've done). Otherwise, it's a good performer, but I've spent so much money trying to fix the damn thing...unlikely to happen to you, but you never know.

it's better to know and not need to know, than to need to know and not know.
