Compaq 615 Laptop not turning on

I have a compaq 615.
Yesterday, I noticed the little white LED on the charging port wont come on.Laptop wont even come on, everytime I pressed the power button, the usual white light which has now turned light blue/green comes on for a few seconds and goes off without powering the laptop.
When I plug the charger, the little LED displays light blue/green instead of the usual white light that denotes that its charging properly. the light blue/green light comes on for a few seconds and also the LED on the LAN port blinks red about 10times.
I have tried sitting the memory modules properly, still laptop wont come on.
What could be the problem please?

Caps lock blink 5 times on Compaq 615 laptop, but screen doesn't come on.

My Compaq 615 laptop screen doesn't come on, instead it blinks capslock 5 times. What shlould I do?
It has an AMD Athlon X2 processor, with Radeon 3200 graphics.
I didn't install any new software or hardware recently. All I did was work with the system at night, shut it down, and when I turned it on the following morning, the screen refused to come up, but the caps lock blinks 5 times.

Sorry to hear that. Please refer to the Blank Screen LED Error Codes document from HP Support. It sounds like a "General system board failure." The explanation says to contact HP for assistance. The motherboard might need to be replaced, and you will probably require the assistance of a technician to fix the problem.

Laptop not turning on at all! Charger adapter is working fine....what's wrong?

PLEASE HELP!
My HP Envy 17 laptop is not turning on at all. It's been 1 month since this problem and within that month I've tried doing the following:
I checked the AC adapter by plugging it on my PC (HP brand) and my adapter seems to be working well.
I have tried the hard reset (hold power and beats buttons for 8 to 10 seconds) MULTIPLE TIMES and still not working.
When I plug the AC adapter and attempt to switch the laptop back on, there is no wifi light, no power light, no light to indicate the device is charging. There is also no fan sound (or whatever it is I've seen some people say they hear when they try to reset). There is absolutely no sign of life! And I'm worried.
I have not attempted to remove the non-removable battery as I hear it voids the warrant. (although seeing as I bought it on ebay brand new, I don't think it came with a warranty...not sure).
What are my options? and what could possibly be causing this problem?
PLEASE HELP!!

Hi Jemini3,
I'll be honest I am not sure how easy a fix that is. In the Maintenance and Service guide on page 73 it will show you how to remove the power connecter. However, you do have to remove the battery, subwoofer, hard drive and top cover. All the directions are included on how to do that, so if you are up for DIY project all the information is there. The part number for the piece is 665907-001.
You can always try a local technician or can call HP Total Care at 1-800-474-6836 in North America or visit this link if you are outside North America, there would be a charge as it sounds as if you are out of warranty.

Laptop not turning on

Hi I have a HP Pavillion DV6- 3110SA . The issue I am having is that when I turn the laptop on the power button lights up however the screen remains black, nothing turns on the screen, however when I plug in the charger it responds and turns orange to show its charging. It makes the noise of turning on but does not show anything on the screen. Please can you advise how to solve this. I have lots of saved work on it which I need.

Hi,
Do a hard reset:
http://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c01684768
Remove the battery , but connect the AC adapter to power supply and power on. Check if it is working. What is the color of LED in power connector now?
Please connect the notebook to an external monitor and power on, see if it glows up.

Laptop not turning on at all. PLEASE HELP

Hello, last night i was on my laptop and it was working fine. I turned it off then in the morning i noticed the the hp logo on the back was on but the computer was off so I disconnected the battery then reconnected it and pressed the power button then nothing happened. When i tried to hard reset it without the battery I noticed that when I plugged in the power cord into the computer i noticed the charging light flashed then turned off but when I unplugged it the charging light glowed then died (when i did this with the battery in no lights turned on). When every I try to turn it on with or without the battery nothing happened; no lights, no sounds, no nothing.
Please help. Thank you in advance.

Did you try a different charger to see if it isn't a charger problem?

Laptop not turning on after bios update

My laptop isn't turning on at all, not even screen. Started occuring after I installed some updates through hp support one of which was a bios update.
Please help.
Model: HP Pavilion DV6-7029tx

Try testing the Hard Drive. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00439024&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=3816360&tmp...
If this doesn't work take the Hard Drive out.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6agiCGktwA
Then test it again. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00439024&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=3816360&tmp...
Let me know if it allows you in the BIOS.
If not it could be the Motherboard giving you the issue.
Also, try restoring the BIOS.

Brand new laptop not turning on.

Just bought it. Took it out of the box and plastic all of 5 minutes ago, plugged it in and it doesn't turn on.
No charge light, nothing.
Very annoyed.

First off, verify that the AC outlet you plugged it into is working by plugging somethine else into it that is known to work.
Unplug it, take the battery out, then hold the power button down for 30 seconds. Now replace the battery, plug it back in, and see if it powers up. If it doesn't let it sit on the charger for about 30 minutes or so and try again. If that doesn't work, repeat the process but this time only try it on battery power.
If it still doesn't power up I suggest you return it to place of purchase and exchange if for one that works.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

HP LAPTOPS NOT TURNING ON OR BLACK SCREEN. FIX ENCLOSED

I placed this post in another thread, but it sounds like you have a damaged GPU.
I had this problem, but I have fixed it now. Fix below.
I have FIXED my misbehaving PC, and it is running better than ever!
I had the common problem that the GPU had overheated and had become unsoldered from the motherboard.
Here is how to fix it without spending hundreds of pounds/dollars!
Equipment/skills required...
*Small flat head electrical screwdriver
*Small Heat gun or jet lighter
*basic assembly knowledge of your laptop.
*know what a GPU is.
Firstly, strip the pc down to it's basic components, IE. screen, keyboard...
remove the motherboard and unscrew the heatsink from the board, leavint the CPU and GPU
exposed.
Remove the CPU from it's mount to prevent damage to it in the next step.
Surround the GPU with kitchen foil, making sure not to cover it. (the foil dissipates heat and protects
the surrounding components)
now use a chef's style heat gun or jet lighter to heat up the GPU evenly, moving the flame in small circles, heating it up evenly. Spend about five minutes on this. (there is a covering of wax on the processor, don't worry about that...)
Remove the foil, but DO NOT throw it away! Fold a part of it up so it is approximately the same length and width as the chip on the GPU, but a little thicker. Put this folded foil onto the GPU to hold it there firmly when you put the heatsink back on. Place the heat sink and fan assembly back on the motherboard. If you cannot feel or see a pressure over the graphics processor unit, make the foil block a little thicker. make sure the foil is not touching any of the little capacitors or solder balls on the GPU. (you want to get lots of pressure with the foil. This will stop the graphics processor from coming loose again.
Put the entire pc back together and try it.
It worked well for me!
Here's a link to the entire thread.

Hope this works for you!

Have you tested your hard drive? Enter BIOS setup by tapping/holding the F10 key immediately after powering on the laptop.Use Diagnostics to test your hdd.
If you don't have Diagnostics in BIOS-try tapping Esc key immediately after powering on. From the menu that appears (hopefully) tap F2 System Diagnostics.

Compaq Presario CQ56 not turning on

My Compaq Presario notebook isn't turning on properly. When I press the power button, the power light comes on and the wi-fi key light comes on red, but that's all. The screen doesn't come on. After killing the power once or twice, the computer starts up. I've done a complete system restore to factory condition, which I was going to do anyway. Does anyone know what it could be?

Hi @TheBimmerGuy
Thank you for your query.
I understand that on startup you get a blank or black display with no error messages, but the power button lights up and the WiFi light turns red. If you power it off and on a couple of times it starts.
Here is a link to HP Notebook PCs - Troubleshooting Black Screen Displays with No Error Messages During Startup or Boo... that should help.
Best of Luck!

Plugged in but AC light not coming on and laptop not turning on

I bought a Toshiba satellite p55w . I had it for a few months. I shut it down with full battery. 15 minutes later it won't turn back on. I plugged it in and the ac light isn't coming on

Unfortunately, I'd suggest you call customer support. It could require servicing.

Laptop not turning on at all

Hey everyone,
Laptop : HP Pavillion g6
OS installed : Windows 7, Deepin 2014
Last Shutdown : Aug 17, 2014 , 05:00 AM
Last State of system: Was Running smoothly Deepin 2014.
It was only when I realized that my system was feeling overheated somehow and its fan wasn't seem to be running at full speed. I thought the problem of dust jamming the fan causing overheat. So, I opened it, following the Disassembly advised by HP in manual[Online]. I did everything as per manual, cleaned the fan and other HW as well. It was when I assembled it and Powered it, I found that Power LED lit but no display at screen. I checked any loose connection for display and others, tried again but in vain.
Third time, I witnessed Caps lock blinking three times and pause and again so. I checked HP portal for the same and found that the problem could be with the RAM Module. So, I tested the RAM[4gb stick] into my other laptop and it worked fine. I then plugged it into my HP system, but nothing happened. I used my other system RAM as well but in no success.
However, I did noticed that the whole base[laptop base from inside facing upward] and every HW having metal part was receving the current from the power cord. I found that the internal socket[HW] that receives power from Adapter[Plugged into system] was in contact with metal part of laptop base and so, whole laptop was having the current. I separated the HW socket from base[remain plugged to Motherboard] and gor rid of current in whole laptop. But this time, I found no LED[orange or white of connected power chord] state and my system wasn't starting at all, let alone understand the previous CAPS Lock Blinks. I tried with battery only as well but nothing pleasant came out. I also unplugged any power souce and holded out power button for a while.
FInally, I wonder whether the motherboard is now at fault, but if this is the case then why CAPS Lock three blinks?
One more thing, I wasn't wearing anything in my legs[shoe or something] but I made sure that I don't end up touching the ground while handling the HW. May be occasionally it happened. Could it be in relation with fault.
If Motherboard is faulty now, how do I check which part is at fault and what will be the cost to get it replaced in India.
RAM,HDD are perfectly fine.

Most likely you damaged motherboard , and another one will be 2x amount of laptops price.

Every time I close my laptop (not turn it off, just put it to "sleep") when I open it again, I am no longer online & have to go to File & uncheck "work offline". How do I make sure my laptio stay connected & doesn't go offline? (I have wireless broadband)

HP Compaq 615 | no pwm-capable sensor modules | fans at max speed

Hi,
I have installed archlinux on an old HP Compaq 615 laptop, everything is working fine, but I have problems with the fan speed. After installing lm_sensors, configuring the sensors with sensors_detect resulted in this:
Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
Just press ENTER to continue:
Driver `k10temp' (autoloaded):
* Chip `AMD Family 11h thermal sensors' (confidence: 9)
Driver `to-be-written':
* Bus `SMBus PIIX4 adapter at 0b00'
Busdriver `i2c_piix4', I2C address 0x4c
Chip `SMSC EMC1402' (confidence: 6)
Driver `adm1021':
* Bus `SMBus PIIX4 adapter at 0b00'
Busdriver `i2c_piix4', I2C address 0x4e
Chip `Maxim MAX1617' (confidence: 3)
Note: there is no driver for SMSC EMC1402 yet.
Check http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices for updates.
Running pwmconfig leads to the error:
/usr/bin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed
If I execute sensors, I get this:
k10temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1: +51.4°C (high = +70.0°C)
(crit = +100.0°C, hyst = +95.0°C)
max1617-i2c-5-4e
Adapter: SMBus PIIX4 adapter at 0b00
temp1: +0.0°C (low = +0.0°C, high = +0.0°C)
temp2: +51.0°C (low = +45.0°C, high = +60.0°C)
The fans are blowing at max speed, and the sensors are not providing information on fanspeed. I have found multiple threads on this topic, and tried the following:
Turning OFF/ON the option "Fan always on while on AC power" .
Passing the parameter "acpi_enforce_resources=lax" to the kernel via GRUB.
That didn't help. If I list the modules and search for k10
lsmod | grep k10
k10temp 12588 0
hwmon 12930 3 k10temp,adm1021,radeon
It seems that k10temp is loaded and used to show the sensor temperatures. On the fancontrol page of the ArchWiki, there were tips on increasing fan_div, but the problem was for me to find the chipset name.
The reported chipset `adm-1021` is not available in `/etc/sensors3.conf`, only `adm-1025`. Also, what's up with
Driver `to-be-written':
result of `sensors-detect`? Is there any way to stop the fans from blowing at full speed for HP Compaq 615?

I just tried turning ACPI off, by passing `acpi=off` kernel parameter in the /etc/defaults/grub:
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Arch"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="acpi=off"
The fans were dead afterwards, but as the warning on the Acpi Modules Wiki Site states
2. "Easy" Put acpi=off in the kernel line in your bootloader's configuration file, but that will kill all ACPI functionality like battery charging and power saving.
killing all ACPI functionality for HP Compaq has left me without the synaptics touchpad and the keyboard. I found on the Ubuntu Community Wiki - Boot Options that `noacpi` shuold be equivalent to `acpi=off`. That sounded weird, so I checked The Kernel Documentation:
acpi= [HW,ACPI,X86]
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
Format: { force | off | strict | noirq | rsdt }
force -- enable ACPI if default was off
off -- disable ACPI if default was on
noirq -- do not use ACPI for IRQ routing
strict -- Be less tolerant of platforms that are not
strictly ACPI specification compliant.
rsdt -- prefer RSDT over (default) XSDT
copy_dsdt -- copy DSDT to memory
See also Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt, pci=noacpi
noacpi [X86] Do not use ACPI for IRQ routing
or for PCI scanning.
Seeing that the options are in fact different, I tried the `noacpi` thinking that "disabling the use of ACPI for IRQ routing or for PCI scanning" ( I have no clue what that means ) might just do the trick. So back to `/etc/default/grub`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="noacpi"
I updated the grub.cfg with
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
and removed: acpid, Cpu Frequency Scaling, and I cleaned up `mkinitcpio.conf` of everything :
# vim:set ft=sh
# MODULES
# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
# run. Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array. For instance:
# MODULES="piix ide_disk reiserfs"
MODULES=""
# BINARIES
# This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
# wish into the CPIO image. This is run last, so it may be used to
# override the actual binaries included by a given hook
# BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
BINARIES=""
# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in any way. This is useful for config files.
FILES=""
# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file. The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
# order in which HOOKS are added. Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
## This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
## No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
# HOOKS="base"
## This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
## work as a sane default
# HOOKS="base udev autodetect block filesystems"
## This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
## No autodetection is done.
# HOOKS="base udev block filesystems"
## This setup assembles a pata mdadm array with an encrypted root FS.
## Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm' for more information on raid devices.
# HOOKS="base udev block mdadm encrypt filesystems"
## This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
# HOOKS="base udev block lvm2 filesystems"
## NOTE: If you have /usr on a separate partition, you MUST include the
# usr, fsck and shutdown hooks.
HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block filesystems keyboard fsck"
# COMPRESSION
# Use this to compress the initramfs image. By default, gzip compression
# is used. Use 'cat' to create an uncompressed image.
#COMPRESSION="gzip"
#COMPRESSION="bzip2"
#COMPRESSION="lzma"
#COMPRESSION="xz"
#COMPRESSION="lzop"
#COMPRESSION="lz4"
# COMPRESSION_OPTIONS
# Additional options for the compressor
#COMPRESSION_OPTIONS=""
rebuilt the kernel with `mkinitcpio -p linux` and rebooted. It seems to be working. What I don't know is why. Anyway, I wanted to post this in case someone comes across the same problem with HP Compaq <615> k10temp driver. I still get the error
/usr/bin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed
so I can only guess that for this specific laptop, there is an IRQ problem, and using `noacpi` solves it. This is the 6th time I've rebooted without hearing the fans at max, when I use the machine, the fan speed is adjusted for the tempereature, even without pwmconfig/fancontrol. My guess is that BIOS is doing it, if someone knows more about this stuff, I would like to hear abuot it. I'll use the machine for the next few days, if the fans behave properly, I'll mark the thread solved.

HP Compaq 6710b won't turn on

My HP Compaq 6710b will not turn on. When I press the on button the light on the button glows green, as it would when I turn it on. The light on the bottom left corner also glows green, as per usual. However, the screen remains blank and after about five seconds both lights go off. When I have the battery charger in the battery charging light turns on.
I have two of these laptops and I put the battery of the broken laptop into the working one and it worked fine, and would charge. I then put the battery from the working laptop into the broken laptop, however it didn't work and exactly the same thing happened as when I use the original battery.
I can't think of anything that could have caused this except that it happened on a camping holiday, where I took my laptop. I was thinking it might have got too hot and something may have been damaged? I used it for the first few days just going on itunes to charge my iPod and freecell. hearts etc. I didn't go on the internet at all.
Any help would be greatley appreciated!

Would just like to add that when I do press the on button, and the two green lights come on, the battery light to the right side of the 'on' light at the bottom left hand side of the laptop flashes orange. A bit confusing, but hopefully this may help.
