Hp Pavilion 15 Notebook will not start or charge

I bought this notebook I believe a year ago and at first it had a minor issues of not turning on but it was resolved soon after that. As the year went by no problems what so even I didn't use the laptop too much but it was working well. Recently however I started using it more frequently and installed a few games on it. These games were obviously meant to be played on a high end gaming computer but I worked around tweaking some settings on my computer and besides the CPU being worked at its max the games ran smoothly with minor problems but these were normal considering game crashes happened on even the most top grade pc. However a few days ago after a little while of playing games I closed all my programs and closed the laptop like I normally do and set it on my desk to charge. I come back maybe 2 hours later and it doesn't turn on, no lights, no fan, not even a charging light. I have tried doing a hard reboot take out the battery everything currently as I speak the computer is on my desk with the bottom of the computer open with the hard drive exposed along with other things. I have no idea what is wrong but maybe it's a mother board problem or CPU fried I don't know but I need help and was hoping if I knew what the problem was if I could just order the parts and replace it.

    Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
    1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
      2. Restart the computer.
      3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
      4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple
          logo appears.
      5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

  • HP Mini 2133 notebook will not start up but recharging light works and on off and hard disk light

    My HP Mini 2133 will not show anything on the screen however the power light and hard drive lights all work and the fan comes on and it will charge up anyone help

    It could be the power supply, shorted device of any kind attached (bad printer, flash drive, keyboard, mouse, network connection), memory problem, video card fan not spinning and the video card could have overheated, bad capacitors (rounded or leaking a brown or dark substance). The first think you should do is make sure it is not under warrantee.  If it is, contact HP.  If it isn't, remove the cover and inspect the board for bad capacitors, fans not turning, disconnect all non essential items like the hard drive, DVD, floppy if you have one, all external devices (yes the monitor) and turn on the computer. Does it appear to stay on? If yes, shut it down by holding in the power button for 5 or more seconds or flipping the power switch on the power supply or pulling the plug. Connect the monitor and then one item at a time leaving the hard drive with your important data as the last item. If it didn't stay on. Try to use only one piece of memory and try each memory slot, try the next piece etc. If that doesn't work, the best guess is the power supply (if you have an ohm meter - test the power supply first).

  • IPhone 4S will not start or charge, error message when trying to restore in recovery mode

    So my iPhone 4S shorted out the other night while I was charging it. I did the hard reset and it restarted itself. But later that evening, it turned off and wouldn't restart no matter what and would not charge. When I connect it to my computer (mac) iTunes recognizes it and says it is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. It starts the restore process and the apple logo comes up with a loading bar but then when it gets to the "verifying restore with Apple" it gives an error message (9) and then the phone goes back. Please help!

    Hey rileyec,
    I found this information about error 9:
    Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if you manually disconnect the device during the restore process. You can resolve this issue by using USB troubleshooting, using a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.
    via: iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
    If those steps do not resolve the issue, I would attempt to perform a recovery-mode restore:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore

  • HP Pavilion dv4 will not start up

    Hi! I am hoping someone can help me. My friend has an HP Pavilion dv4--2045dx  running Windows 7 and it will not start up. Once it is turned on the hp logo appears for a quick second and then a black screen with a blinking cursor in the left, top corner comes up. If I press ctrl alt del and then esc I can get into the menu for F1, F2, F11 etc. I have run and passed all of the system diagnostics tests (Start up, Memory and Hard Drive). I have tried to reset the BIOS to default condition and also tried to connect the laptop to my TV to see if it was the screen that doesn't work, but it wasn't. I tried a hard reset also. When I press F11 for a system recovery, nothing happens. It just goes right back to the black screen with blinking cursor. All of the other F-keys work and I am able to pull up screens for each, except the F11 key.
    I am not very computer literate but am trying everything I can think of to get it back to factory settings or system recovery. If anybody out there has any idea what I'm talking about (I'm not sure I even do) please please give me some suggestions!! 
    I tried to write all of the information I can think of, but if you have any questions about the issue I'll be glad to answer what I can!
    Any suggestions/help are GREATLY appreciated!! Thanks in advance for any thoughts you may share!!

    Hi,
    Try the following to see if the Hard Drive is accessible.  The Ubuntu operating system CD you create can run from the CD alone ( ie it doesn't have to install on the Hard Drive )  When you've created the CD, follow the rest of the instructions and see if you can access the HDD - you may want to back up your existing files if you can.

  • Pavilion tx 1000 will not boot up

    I was using my pavilion tx 1000 a few months ago and the screen suddenly started to fade to full white and this happened. My notebook will not boot up after powering on. The lights come on except for the wifi and mute button indicators. The fan starts and then stops after a few seconds. The screen remains blank. I took it to a family friend who changed my motherboard and it's been working for about a few weeks. The screen faded again like the first time two weeks ago but I left the computer alone and tried to turn it on again and it magically worked. Just today I tried to turn it on after what seemed to be normal use without any problems and the same boot up problems occurred. Does anyone have a solution or at least an explanation? Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

    I had a similar problem.  I finally got my HP tx 1220us to  boot at power up and also start automatically after reboot. All without replacing the motherboard.  It's been nearly two days now and the computer has been booting up without a problem. 
    I do not know what cleared up the problem.  I did try all of the solutions offered on the net such as:
    1. Removing the Norton Antivirus
    2. checking connection for ram, hard drive etc.
    3. Stopped the sleep/hibernation mode.
    Nothing worked.  HP suggested that I replace the motherboard at cost of $399. I could not accept this simple and easy solution, not yet.  Not until, someone could tell me which part of the motherboard was bad or at least get me the error codes from POST.
    I found out that one can buy for under $9, a simple display unit, which would tell you the POST error code and what the error was in the POST operations. However, this unit works only if you have a PCI slot or USB and Parallel printer port.  The Tx1220 does not have the PCI slot or the parallel printer port. Technically, one can buy a parallel to USB adapter for under $20. 
    I checked with Geek Squad.  They wanted $70 to run tests on the motherboard.  So I decided to do something else for a change.
    I took the following steps:
    First, I restored the Operating System as soon as I got the notebook to boot up.  The computer started booting up at first try and even restarted after Windows restarted the computer.
    Second, I also replaced the Norton Internet Security 60-day subscription installed automatically by HP by default to plain Symantec antivirus.
    (Note- Windows does not do a clean uninstall of NOrton Internet Security or the Antivirus program.  You will need the Norton removal tool from Symantec to do a better job.)
    Also, I later removed the symantec antivirus program and replaced with the free AVG program.
    Third, I disabled CLCApssvc.  (I believe this program controls the webcam- not sure what else it does.  You will see this program listed in the error message -windows event viewer). 
    Fourth, I also changed the screen resolution to low/medium settings,
    Fifth, I stopped the sleep and hibernation mode in the power settings. 
    I do not know what or which of the above actions actually cleared up the problem.  It is a mystery.
    I strongly believe that this is not a hardware problem rather a software problem.  Something happens in between after POST completes its process and the OS takes over.  I might be wrong but, either SAV or CLcapsvcs leave behind a conflicting set of instructions, which stops the boot up process to Windows.

  • HP Pavilion 15-n268sa will not boot after windows update (windows 8.1)

    After a series of windows update (windows 8.1) my HP Pavilion 15-n268sa will not boot up, no fan noises, no lights no nothing. 
    I have tried a "hard reset" a number of times with no success. 
    When the battery is present the white LED flashes 3 times when the power button is pressed. 
    Please please help. 

    Hello Cuffy,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you notebook will not boot after a series of Windows updates.
    Can you tell me if you are able to access the HP Recovery Manager by repeatedly tapping the F11 key while the notebook turns on? If you can access this, try doing a system restore to before you installed the updates. If not I would suggest you go through this document: Computer Does Not Start and the LEDs Blink or the Computer Beeps.
    If it's the Caps Lock light that is blinking this document will tell you exactly what the error is (spoiler: 3 beeps is a memory failure). This could also explain the failed updates. The updates are stored in the RAM before being applied to the operating system.
    You can try reseating the RAM, or using only 1 of the RAM cards, as you have 2x4GB cards. If it still doesn't work with 1 card, try the other card to confirm it has failed.
    You can replace defective cards via HP Phone Support if covered under warranty or at the HP Part Store if not covered. You can contact HP Technical Support at 1-800-474-6836 in North America. For all other regions click here.

  • Computer will not start up past "repair screen"

    My hp pavilion touch will not start up correctly. When turned on it tries to go through an automatic repair but pops up with a screen that says "automatic repair couldn't repair your pc. Two options you can either shut it down or go to advanced options. So far no matter what I do I can not get it to finish starting up or repair itself. 

    Hi @ACOKAY,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    It is a fantastic place to find answers and suggestions!
    For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
    How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
    I understand that when you start your computer you get the automatic repair screen and neither option presented makes any change.
    Can you start it in safe mode?
    If not I would suggest going to the recovery manager for more options
    On start up of your notebook press the F11 key approximately once every second to access the recovery manager.  This may take a few moments to display so be patient.
    You will see different options available depending on what Operating System you are running.
    For further assistance please provide your exact model of HP notebook and your Operating System.
    Good Luck!

  • Satelite Pro A60 - Will not start up

    My A60 will not start. The power supply is plugged in with a green light on the power block and the A60. The battery has fully charged (light started orange and is now green). Nothing happens when the power button is pressed!
    Tried taking the battery out and running on AC but no change.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    L

    HI Lawrence,
    Try removing the battery and also diconnecting the AC supply for a few minutes. Then re-install the battery and try to power on the unit. If this doesn't work then remove the battery and connect the AC supply. Again try to poer on the unit.
    If none of the above works then you will need to refer to an Authorised Service Partner to have the notebook checked.
    regards,

  • Battery Error 601 and Notebook will not boot

    My notebook will not bootup anymore.  It was running fine then I just closed the screen and went to class.  Usually this just puts it to sleep.  When I opened it back up, it would not start...  It was totally dead.  When I plug it into the charger, I see a "Pimrary Battery Error" 601 displayed for a few seconds and then it starts to bootup.  It never fully boots-up, it shuts off totally before I get past the little HP splash.
    When I plug the charger into the notebook, I see the charging orange LED for a little while, but then it switches to white and then back to orange and then totally off.   I have tried multiple chargers and it always does the same thing.
    Since the notebook will not boot even when plugged in, I am suspecting something in the charging system/main board more than the battery.  Is there anyway to tell which components are bad?
    This is an almost 2 year old Envy 4-1215dx, Product ID: D1A99UA#ABA 
    It's been a great notebook upto now...  Any ideas on what to check and how?
    Steve

    Here's a link with an explaination and troubleshooting steps for the error you are experiencing.
    HP Battery Alert
    You can also try a Hard Reset in order to get you PC to boot long enough to run a diagnostics.
    Hard Reset
    You may also try with the battery removed and just the AC Adapter.
    If nothing seems to work you can always try a new main battery since they usually are fairly inexpensive. Just Google the Part# shown on your battery.

  • MacBook Pro will not start up and light on front of computer to left of "sleep" light is constantly on.

    My MacBook Pro was working fine but an hour after shutting down I noticed that it was very hot and that a light on the front, to the left of the "sleep" light, was constantly on, and it will not start up now.

    You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the 13” white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.
