Laptop power-on issue

[RADEoN]

I have an HP DV6000 that starts up fine, but after you shut it down it doesn't turn back on until you pull the battery, and unplug it. It then turns back on fine. I can't figure this thing out for the life of me. Any suggestions?

I already tried a new BIOS

its probably the cmos battery.. sadly most laptops have the battery attached to the motherboard and it cant be removed.. but you could try resetting the cmos as well just to see if its actually the cmos battery that is the problem.. just take the battery out and unplug the laptop.. then hold the power button down for 10-15 seconds.. should reset it.. might work.. might not..

update on this, i got a second one in at work, the dv6000's are under recall for this issue. Silly nVidia chipsets...
