Laptop Black Screen Restart Loop After Running Program - Emergency!

Hi. Today I was trying to solve a problem with my Dv6000 computer regarding a fast draining battery issue after I plugged in various power adapters onto my computer. So I download a program that checks battery cycles called BatteryMon:

When I pressed the check button to check my battery my computer either turned off or went black. Having seen my laptop done this before I quickly turned it off, pulled the battery out, unplugged the power adapter, and performed various methods of holding the power button and keys and more unplugging and plugging of all sorts, and to my horror, it won't boot! I see lights and I hear whirling, but the screen is completely black. I don't think its even showing black as a color, it just doesn't have any pixels at all.

I do hear the laptop whirl for 10 or so seconds, then turn off for 2 seconds then come back on. My only guess is that it is trying to "resume" my computer and the resumption of the state of my hard drive causes it to reboot again. I have left it without power for 15 minutes and pressed the power button + insert button and stuff to no avail!

Please, I have an essay due tomorrow that I have to type. Is there some way to get this computer to boot via a disk or something to at least extract the data? Is the hard drive able to connect to a desktop if I took it off? I don't know if I have sata cables or those old ones.

Please somebody help me! Thank you.

 

Yes, you can slave it to a pc, to get data off the hard drive.
The easiest way is by using a usb caddy- but time is against you, if you do not have one.
You can connect an IDE (ATA) HARD DRIVE TO THE PC, if it has an IDE connection spare- just set the pin on the back of your problem hard drive to make it a slave.
If it is sata, and you have a spare sata connection and cable, and power cinnection, you can connect it up, and when starting press del (I believe that is Dell's Bios option) otherwise f2, to get into the bios, and use cable select to start with the pc's hard drive, and read the other hard drive by going to disk management, and selecting that second hard drive to copy files over- I have to go off-line , now, but others may come on to help you.

 

After letting it fully boot try F+N and F6, it worked on my Acer, not sure where I got the tip!

 

I retyped my essay. -__-

So would my PC have an IDE connector to connect this hard drive? I don't want or can't go out and buy things. I tried FN+F6 and other keys and it still doesn't work. Everybody's laptop is too new for my hard drive to fit too. =/

 

I see and from googling the model that Your dv6000 is a laptop, it seems that it came with Vista, and sata hard drive.
Most laptops in the last couple of years, especially had sata hard drives, so your friends will most likely have sata hard drives in their laptops, and unless theu have a second bay, as some do, you would need an adaptor to read your hard drive.
If one of your friends has a space for a second hard drive (I know, for instance the Toshiba L300 had a space for a second hard drive), then if they would allow you to connect it to the second space, you could read it from there, and, use a usb stick to save your files.
The hard drive capacity does not matter, but actual physical size does- if their hard drive is the same physical size as yours, then yours will fit their laptop spare space, but you could not read it , if you put it in the normal bay, without acting as a slave (spare position), as it would bluescreen on you.
You might be able to get some data off , if you used a live cd version of knoppix/ubunto, but as you would beusing afriends , I would not try that yet.

When you tried various ways of restarting it, did you try
Remove the battery.
Press the start button for about a minute, and leave the battery out, but connect the charger to your laptop, and hold down the start button to see if you get it to give a picture?- Only putting the battery in later.
This appears to revive it, on many cases. this was on a u-tube video, somewhere, for the Dv 6000 - I will try googling to find it.

Another trick on the old HP was to leave it charging while wrapped in an old blanket, so that it turned itself off when it got so hot, and this would sometimes fix a faulty video, by making the motherboard solder re-contact, and the video'card' would then operate again -I cannot remember the model that particular method worked on, but it was a while ago, and I found that courtesy of some other geek, and I cannot remember where , to give him the 'silverware.' It did work at the time I needed it.

The other obvious point that might be overlooked is that the battery no longer has a sufficient charge in it, if the charging curcuit is faulty (either the charger, or, the connecting pin on the motherboard, or, as it seems these did have a few faulty motherboard returns to HP within the warrentry period, that the motherboard is actually faulty- I assume its well out of warrenty:cry

 

Perhaps you have seen this- I notice there are a lot more repair video's there for the same model- but I have not had time, or, need to look at those.
