Envy 17 Notebook will not power on

Hi there,
My laptop was acting very slow, so I tried to shut it down via the GUI. After 20 or so minutes the laptop was still running the shutdown sequence. At this time, the power cord was not connected, so the laptop was running on battery power. I was thinking about forcibly shutting down the laptop by pressing/holding the power button and I may have pressed the power button (not holding) a few times. The laptop shut off suddely, but I'm not sure it shut down due my pressing the power button, of if the laptop batteries simply ran out.
Now, the notebook will not power on. When I press the power button the F12 led lights up orange. When I release the power button the f12 led turns off. Needless to say, the laptop will not turn on (i.e. no Windows splash screen, no bios menu, etc.) When I plug in the power cord the led next to the cord lights up. The led is white now, which I suppose indicates that the battery is fully charged (it was orange previously).
I tried disconnecting the battery and powering on, but nothing changes.
Any guidance on how to solve the boot problem are welcome.
 NOTE: For some reason there is no "Post" button displayed on this forum when I use Firefox. I'm having to use IE post this message.

Hi
In case you are comfortable reseating the Hard drive & Memory try it. Disconnect the Memory & Hard drive try to power on the unit and check if you get any beeps from the unit. In case you have 2 memory dimm installed try 1 at time.
Let us know how it goes!

  • Envy m6-1125dx will not power on

    I have an Envy m6-1125dx Windows 8 notebook. Issue: I hit power button to turn on. It lights up for a second and immediately goes back off. Does not power on anything or give any LED flash code.
    Things I have already tried: Cleaned fans. Removed battery, still same issue. Tested charger, gives proper voltage. Tested DC Jack, is receiving proper voltage. Reset power connections, still same issues. Inspected motherboard for any signs of damage, found none.
    If I were receiving a LED code it would be one thing, but not receiving any codes at all. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Jon

    I understand you are having an issue with the power. You have checked the adapter and it is working. You checked the outlet and it is fine.
    You are not getting any beep codes or flashing lights.

  • HP DV2000 will not power on

    My HP DV2000 series notebook will not power on. I replaced the power button, but system still will not go on. Adapter is ok. Blue light goes on when plugged in.  Any ideas?

    I have an HP Pavilion DV6700 that will not power on.  I know it is not the power supply because I purchased a new one recently.  I have also attempted to power on my PC with a power supply to another, similar Pavilion.   I also recently purchased and installed a USB/power board connector under the impression that it was it was.  This did not work so, to test the new power board, I tore apart the other laptop (which is also dead at this point for what we thought was the same reason) and put the board in it.  It yielded the same results...nothing happened.  So here are the possibilities that i can see...
       1. The new power board is defective.
       2. Both laptop motherboards are bad.
       3. Both power supplies are bad.
    My question is, are there ways to test the power boards with a multimeter to determine if it's bad?  Are there ways to test the motherboard?
    Thanks in advance,

    In your list: the chances of number 2 or number three are quite unlikely. 
    Solder type  power jack  replaced
    Check for cold solder joints. Solder joints should be bright,not dull colored.
    Did you try a hard reset before you started opening the laptop? 
    Always try to reset firmware (BIOS) before beginning any disassembly for a no-start condition.
    Remove the battery and unplug the DC power adapter.
    press and hold the power button for more than fifteen seconds.
    plug in the DC power adapter (leave the battery out for now)
    press the power button

  • HP Palion dv7 Notebook PC will not power up when power button is pressed.

    My HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC will not  power on when the power button is pressed. I have removed the battery, unplugged the AC adapter and pressed the power button for 15+ seconds then plugged in the AC adapter and pressed the power button for 15+ seconds. Then I release the power button and then press the power button again and the Notebook will power up and operate normally. I can reinstall the battery once it has powered up. What is causing this problem and how do I remedy the problem?

    Hello Griff83147,
    Unfortunately there could be a number of different things that caused that issue from drivers, software, possibly hardware. I am glad you got it up and running but there isn’t a clear picture of what actually caused. If a technician got the chance to work on it then they could at least narrow it down.
    Sorry I could not answer your question, but this is one of those questions that can have multiple answers.
    If you have any further questions don’t hesitate to ask.
    Thanks

  • 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.

  • My MacBook Pro shut it self down and will not power up

    It shut itself down and will not power up. Battery was charged

    I have (had) a brand new late2013 13" MacBook Pro that my wife and I really splurged on. It had the 512 gb (over 500, I know that) SSD hard drive, improved processor, and chose to stick with 8 gb of ram. In other words, we dropped close to $2000 on that notebook.
    Within a week, it started doing what you are explaining. In fact, during one of the forced shutdowns, I was prompted to send an error message to apple. My wife wanted nothing to do with it, but I chose to anyway. Thankfully I did. When I couldn't take the frustrating shutdowns anymore I took it to the apple store.
    AWESOME PEOPLE!!!! Granted I have been a PC guy my whole life. That started to change with my first really thick iPod in 2002. Slowly, the iPad and Apple TV made appearances in my house. My wife (an artist) then came in the picture and I am now and have been an apple guy, w/o the window sticker of course. My interaction with the apple store workers only increased my stoke.
    SEND ERROR MESSAGES TO APPLE IF PROMPTED TO DO SO.
    As I said, I went against wife and sent one to apple. The apple tech was able to figure out what was wrong immediately considering a copy was kept on my MBP, and because it was day 30 (really was) since purchase, he switched out with BRAND NEW UNIT! No refurb, no hassle!
    All was fine until it did it again. Basically, if my computer sat on but was idle, it would go to sleep as we had instructed it to do in the energy savings preference page. Normally, to reawaken MBP, all we needed to do was tap space bar.
    Like the first one we traded in, no luck. We would actually have to try and power up with power button, and even the apple techs found it frustrating as we had. Thankfully it did it in front of them as well.
    Now is the kicker. Our contact felt incredibly bad, along with store manager, that this was now the third visit we have had to make involving a brand new computer. The manager wanted to make it up to us. I feel like her solution went so far beyond my expectations, I will never own another brand again.
    She took all of our merchandise we bought for the 13" MBP, (bag, 12 south vertical stand, etc) and let us pick what ever replacements we wanted for the 15" MBP she was giving us. YEP, A 15"!
    due to the fact that we specifically purchased the larger SSD in the 13", the entry level 15" did not offer the larger SSD drive. That saint of a manager moved us into the quad core, I7 with 16gb of ram!!! The only stipulation is that we pay for the apple care. When I thought it was truly over, she had one last surprise and charged only the difference between the apple care prices.
    Good things happen to everyone else, always. Happy to report I finally had my turn.
    I am not saying you will make out as well as I did, but if it is shutting down, especially in the first 30 days of ownership, send every report to apple it asks you to (for ease of retrieval by Mac employee) and trust they will do right by you. New computers should not shutoff for no reason, and the great thing is, they agree!
    Considering my initial purchase for my 13" MBP came to around (off my head $1850 with apple care).
    I now own the very high end $2599.00 15" because the SSD hd was comparable to mine.
    I can't stress this part enough. I NEVER ONCE RAISED MY VOICE! I was a little upset but never complained once. I was completely understanding and never asked for anything above getting the first computer I paid for to work properly.
    THANK YOU APPLE!!!!!THANK YOU APPLE!!!!! THANK YOU APPLE!!!!!
    Bring your faulty computer in, send all error messages to apple, and most importantly remember that the young 22yr old standing in front of you there didn't build it. It's not his fault. Work with him with respect and apples philosophy will shine brightly.
    FWIW, all of the service techs I spoke with at the Genius Bar are very aware of this situation and all feel an update is headed down the pipeline soon.
    Good luck all!

  • Satellite P100 will not power up or has blank screen

    So I have this laptop that has failed me about 4 months ago. Will not power on anymore. I can press the start button and it sounds like its working but there is nothing on the screen. I can hear the fan every now and again and then a beep after about 1 min after "start up" but screen looks dead. Nothing appears on screen at all.
    I've tried the powering on with and without the battery.
    My laptop use to get very hot and freeze as far as I remember.
    I've replaced my Toshiba with other notebook but if my Satellite is not gonna work again is there a way I can get files off there still?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi
    > I've replaced my Toshiba with other notebook but if my Satellite is not gonna work again is there a way I can get files off there still?
    You need the data and files from the internal HDD?
    You could access the data connecting the P100 HDD as an external USB HDD to the other computer.
    You could remove the HDD from the P100 and could insert it into a external USB caddy
    I think the HDD supports the SATA interface so you have to look for SATA USB caddies
    Regarding the P100 issue;
    Well it seems to be a hardware problem We can speculate only about the kind of malfunction but for me it looks like a serious issue
    The best is to get in contact with an notebook technician and to check the single parts
    Good luck

  • HP Pavillion dv6000 laptop computer will not power on

    My HP Pavillion dv6000 laptop computer (s/n CNF72132WJ, p/n GH783EA#ABU) will not power on - it gives 1 long beep followed by 3 short beeps and then does nothing. I've been told that the problem is the NVIDIA graphics card but am unable to find this part in the HP Parts Store. Is the NVIDIA graphics card a separate purchasable item for an HP Pavillion dv6000 laptop computer or is it integrated into the system board (p/n 443774-001)?
    Where in the UK can I purchase either a replacement NVIDIA graphics card or a replacement system board (p/n 443774-001)?
    Thank you in advance for any help you can give me with this problem.

    The Nvidia graphics card is soldered on to the motherboard and you need to replace motherboard for the Notebook to work according to your diagnosis.
    The Part# - 443774-001 is Out of stock and curent not available in HP Parts store however I just did a search for you on Ebay UK website and was able to find it in search results over here

  • My notebook will not charge when plugged in

    My notebook will not charge when plugged in & now will not work at all.  Do you think I need a new battery?

    Battery information is found in SYSTEM PROFILER>HARDWARE>POWER.
    Sometimes the power adapter does not show the light but is still functioning.  (that often the case with mine)  If on the menu bar the icon shows that it is charging, your ok.  If not, I jiggle the connector or snap it and that restores the connection.  If neither works, make certain the the connectors are clean, both on the adapter and the MBP.  Check to see if any of the posts are bent or missing. 
    If still no success, try another adapter if available.  If that does not work, the are issues with the MBP.  If it does, a new will be the answer.
    Ciao.

  • My Powerbook will not power up, but I can hear the fan running...

    Please help!! My Powerbook will not power up, but I can hear the fan running when I press the power button to attempt to power it up. I just received a new power adapter because it wasn't working properly and it was doing this before and then it worked for a week and now it will not power up at all. It just starts the fan but nothing else turns on. When I plug the adapter, with the battery still connected, it will look as if it is charging but then the light on the plug turns from green to orange then off and doesn't power up at all. If I take the battery out and plug in the adapter, the light stays on but it does not power up except for the fan noise. Does anyone have any suggestions? I also followed the two articles listed online in regards to resetting the power setting and the command + alt + P + R as well. Nothing works. Thanks in advance.....

    Same here. If I start up with the power adapter attached, it starts up fine. If I try to start up from battery only, the fan comes on, the sleep light comes on but nothing else happens. I tried letting it sit that way for about 15 minutes and nothing changed. I tried attaching the power cord while in this mode and nothing changed. I tried the PMU reset a couple of times but nothing helps.
    This computer is just over 1 year old and I have not had any problems with the power cord (3rd party), the battery, or any problem like this before. It started after a proper shutdown last night and attempt to start without the power cord this afternoon.
    Any answers to this yet? I think I'll call on this and report any success to this discussion.

  • Need Help HP DM3 (DM3-1130us) Laptop will not power on. No power at all except for light on a/c jack

    Hello, I need some help.
    I have a HP DM3-1130us Laptop that will not power on at all.
    the only thing that happens when I plug it in is the power jack lights up.
    When the power button is used absolutely nothing happens.
    No power, no fans, no leds, no on/off cycles, no beebs, absolutely nothing
    just the light by the power jack that says the cord is plugged in.
    The laptop has Windows 7, 320gb hdd, 4gb ram.
    I have tried new power adapter and still nothing.
    I have taken the battery out and tried and nothing.
    I've tried the option where you take the battery out and hold the power and nothing.
    I have tried with different hard drive and no hard drive and nothing.
    I have tried reseating the ram and tried new ram modules still nothing.
    So I am kind of stumped on what to do, the laptop will just not turn on.
    Its not under warranty anymore so cant send it off.
    It has not been exposed to any elements(extreme heat or water).
    and its never been dropped or anthing.
    Im kind of wondering maybe the power button board its self is bad?
    If feels fine, its not loose or anything but could it
    have just stopped working? for those who are not familiar with this model.
    the power button is on the side and is a kind of drag and release button.
    Its also on the same board with the Wifi button and 2 Usb ports.
    But Im wondering before I buy a new one if this is what it could be.
    Or could the motherboard its self be bad?
    But even if the motherboard is bad would it still power up
    just not post?
    Also does anyone know of any other way to try to power this laptop up
    without using the slide button. I mean kind of like off a Dv6000 you can power the laptop on by using the Quicklaunch buttons on top but this laptop does not have those.
    If anyone can provide any information I would appreciate it.
    Thank you.

    Hey Tyler,
    Unfortunately it is difficult to troubleshoot this type of issue. The majority of the time when the computer wont power on with the same symptoms you described, the power supply board is faulty. Most of the time if the motherboard is bad it should at least turn on or so some signs of life. Like I said, this is most of the time. Sometimes it could do exactly what your experiencing. I would suspect the power supply board has failed since you are not receiving any sort of lights, sounds, etc.
    You could check the motherboard for swollen capacitors or loose solder joints but sometimes you wont be able to find anything.
    I hope this helps answers your questions,
    Sean

  • My iPhone 5s will not power on and I need my serial number for support.

    I am attempting to get help through Apple Support- Chat, but I need my serial number.  It is not showing up in iTunes under the device preferences.  Any other ways to retrieve the serial number through iCloud?
    If anyone has any idea of what is going on with my phone, I would love some assistance.  I live 45 minutes from the nearest Apple Store.  Here's the situation:
    About 2 weeks ago, my phone started shutting itself off and restarting randomly.
    About a week and a half ago, I would randomly get a blue screen and then the phone would restart multiple times.
    About a week ago I turned off Touch ID in an effort to resolve the issue, after reading some fixes from this community.  That seemed to help.  I do have the animation turned off, so I had read that there may be an issue between the Touch ID and animation reduction.  If that had not helped, I was going to turn the animation back on.
    Last night my phone seemed fine.  I did hear it restart in the middle of the night once, but this morning it will not power on at all.
    I tried connecting it to my computer through iTunes, but iTunes does not see it and I cannot access the device information from it.
    My phone is less than a month old, and for the first two weeks it worked great.  I am taking it into the AT&T Store today where it was purchased, but I don't really have high hopes for a resolution.
    Any help is much appreciated!

    Sorry AT&T store won't be much help.
    I suggest you make an appointment with the Genius bar and then go to the Apple store.

  • Macbook Pro will not power on without battery installed

    Hi there,
    I have a Macbook Pro A1226 that fails to power on without a battery installed.
    i.e. will not run off AC power on its own. I have tried 2 other power adapters, no change. All 3 adapters are outputting the correct voltage without fluctuations.
    But, if I am in OSX with a battery plugged in, shutdown the laptop, remove the battery while AC is still plugged in, it will power back on without any issues. But as soon as I remove the battery, it will not power back on using just AC.
    Is this an I/O board issue, or a mainboard?
    I have power drained the unit and reset the parameter ram.
    Thanks

    Any update on this? This is the same thing that's going on with my laptop right now. I was at the Genius Bar and they said they can send it in for repair. Takes 7-9 days and costs a minimum of $310. At the time I was there, my computer wouldn't start up at all, because the battery had drained to less than 20%. It didn't even start with just the power cord (no battery in). The "genius" finally got it to work by doing a PRAM and SMC reset. Got home and was able to recharge my battery to 100%. Used my computer for 2 days before I dared to take it off the power supply. Lo and behold, as soon as I take it off the power cord, then re-connect it, it shows "Not Charging". I tried to do SMC again, but no luck. Keeps saying "not charging". Even tried with a brand new battery. Do I have to get the I/O board thingy replaced?

  • Ipod touch generation  5 will not power on

    My ipod touch generation 5 will not power on though it was showing to b e fully charged.  I have been pressing and holding the on button on the top which usually cause a  the screen to light up.  Is there some way to get it to work?

    Try:

    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable              
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
