My son bought an HP Pavilion about 1-1/2 years ago and its already broke. What a piece of junk. It tries to boot, then shuts down, then trys to boot, then shuts down, then trys to boot, then shuts down, and it keeps this up until the battery is removed. It won't even go to the boot screen. Its junk My first youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKaUlQ7gcRs
