PLEASE HELP! Beeping and black screen when laptop turned on

PLEASE HELP! Beeping and black screen when laptop turned on

OK, I've had this laptop (HP pavilion dv2000) for a while now, and I have no idea what happened. Recently, when I turn it on, all the lights turn on—but after around 5 seconds, it beeps loudly four times. Also, the screen is completely black—nothing pops up. The black screen goes on forever. If anybody has had this problem or knows how to fix it, I would be extremely grateful for your help with this problem. I have no idea what to do. Thanks.

"Hi,

Turn over your laptop and loose the screws where it shows RAM sign open the lid deattach the RAM and switch the laptop on shut it down and attach the RAM into the holder close the lid and lock the screws. Turn it on if it does not then take it to a local repair shop for actual issue identification.

Good Luck."

"This is usual problem in Hps machines when they start gettin old. Four beeps thats the motherboard problem, to narrow it down its the vga or rather graphic card. If you have proper tools you can do this on your own . otherwise take it to a good IT tech they will open the laptop resolder it properly and it will be fixed. I had similar problem and i fixed it with my friend in same way.its working fine.

black screen shows ram error.... try removing that ram, change with other compatible 1. if it does the same thing, then remove battery and charger, press hold power option for some time, after that, insert power source, it will turn on. failure to turn on calls for technical experience on power supply on motherboard

"Hi @ Ken Vincent Ochia,

Try starting the laptop in safe mode - start at Step.2 and then go to Troubleshooting > Advanced > Startup Repair and follow the prompts and check if this resolves the problem.

Do NOT select Reset this PC because if you choose the wrong option after this you could erase all your data as Windows will be reinstalled"
