DV1000 Series

The HP Pavilion dv1000 series, equivalent to the Compaq Presario ze2000 and v2000 series are "thin and light" 14.1" widescreen laptops manufactured by Quanta and mass produced under the HP name. There were several different models and revisions of the motherboard which include Intel single core, dual core, AMD, SATA and IDE hard drive models.

A common issue with some models of this series is a failure of the battery charging/internal power system in which the notebook will not detect DC power when plugged in.

The hp dv1000 was marketed towards home and small business users. A notable feature included was "quickplay", the ability to boot into a dedicated environment for multimedia use.
