I was having the same problem with my dv1000 for a few weeks.
Yesterday, when powering it on, it emitted a loud "PoP!", and now it's
completely dead. I'll try taking the battery out, but I think it's
beyond that. The CD still spins, and the lights come on, but the hard
drive shows no sign of life. Has anyone found a way to repair this? I
looked at reviews on CNET and saw that others have had the same
experience. Thanks!
