My HP Pavillion entertainment PC dv2000 does not boot up.

When I press the power button it turns and reads the CD and all the lights turn up, but does not go into boot mode.

What should I do?

Does the screen turn on or show anything at all? Can you get into the BIOS, or anything? – Fake Name Feb 20 at 20:49

try removing the battery and power cord for about 20 mins and then starting it up again

If there is any media in your CD/DVD drive take it out and then try booting

Disconnect any attached USB devices; I've seen rogue USB devices completely defeat booting on multiple PCs.
