HP Pavilion 15-n034sa Notebook PC not powering up and charging light not coming on

Two weeks ago my daughter's laptop would not switch on. The charging light was on and the power light was blinking. I looked this up on the internet and the suggested solution was to remove the battery and power on which worked. Now when plugged in the charging light isn't on, the power light is not blinking and the laptop won't switch on. I've tried my son's charger which is compatible but still no luck. Any ideas?

Is the daughter's laptop under warranty? Failure sometimes comes on slowly and at first a kick in the pants like a hard reset can bring it around but it is only temporary until it finally fails. If you get no response when a known good power supply is attached it is almost certainly a dead motherboard.

It rained in my window last night, on my power strip. My macbook adaptor (charger) and iphone adaptor were both plugged into the strip. The power strip is dead. Iphone is fine. Macbook will not boot up and charger light doesn't go on.

Spill Cleaning
And, don't think that just because it was two teaspoons and not a glassful that there is a difference.
Some liquid has just spilled into your Mac. What should you do?
Do
Immediately shut down the computer and unplug the power cord.
Remove the computer's battery (if you can)
Disconnect any peripherals (printers, iPods, scanners, cameras, etc.)
Lay the computer upside down on paper towels to get as much liquid as possible to drip out.
Note what was spilled on your Mac.
Bring the computer into an Apple store or AASP as soon as possible.
Don't
Don't try to turn it back on. Liquids can help electrical current move about the components of your Mac in destructive ways.
Don't shake the computer (this will only spread the liquid around).
Don't use a hair dryer on it (even at a low setting a hair dryer will damage sensitive components).
Do not put in a bag of rice in as much as rice will get into the ports and optical drive and do further damage.

Power Adapter Does Not Charge the Battery and Charge Light Is On?

Power Adapter Does Not Charge the Battery and Charge Light Is On?
My power adapter doesn't charge my computer anymore. however the charge light is on.
Please help my battery is draining fas

So, with your power adaptor connected not only does the battery not charge but the powerbook is not running on ac power. Then I guess the power adaptor is faulty. In as much as you've verified this with a known good one a new one is in order. Try yours in another powerbook to make sure.

HP Pavilion g6-1301tx Notebook PC/ Not able to install AMD graphic driver.

My HP Pavilion g6-1301tx Notebook PC 4gb RAM is 2 years old,My original OS was Windows 7 Home basic 64 bits then i changed it to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits.
ERROR......................
In device manager under display adapter there are two GPUs i.e. Intel Hd graphics 3000 its alright and Standard VGA graphic adapter which contains error (this Device cannot start code 10). I tried to update the driver in device manager itself but it tells ( Windows found the driver for the device but unable to install), I even tried windows update there it shows the driver update but whent i try to install it shows error Code 80070002.
Because of this im unable to play games and watch hd videos in my laptop.
Please some one help me to solve this problem.

Hi:
The only graphics driver you should install for your model is the AMD graphics driver which will install both the AMD and Intel GPU's.
If you installed the Intel graphics driver from your PC's support and driver page, that could be preventing the correct AMD driver from installing.

My hp pavilion dv7 entertainment notebook will not turn on

When i plug in the ac adaptor all that happens is the 3 lights on the lower left blink. i belive they are the power, charge, and disk lights.
If i take out the battery, nothing happens.
I am using a charger for an hp pavilion dv4, it did previously turn on while using the same charger.
i have let it sit to see if it needed to charge, but it kept blinking.

@britay49
Depending on what lights are flashing, that would be a pattern of 1 flash repeating, which would suggest a cpu problem.
If it is the power lights, and such as you suggested, then I would trouble shoot the power itself.
Using and Testing the AC Power Adapter
Computer Does not Start (Windows 7, Vista, XP)
AC Adapter Battery Charging Indicator LED Does Not Display Immediately When Plugged In

Take a look through those, and also try different power outlets and a different power adapter if you have one that is compatible.

HP Pavilion dv6 7039tx Notebook-It was working fine and then it suddenly got stuck during startup.

I own a HP Pavilion dv6 7039tx Notebook. The OS is Win 7 64bit. I made 4 partitions after formatting the 1TB HDD as the C drive would not reduce to the 40GB size I wanted through disk management.
It was working fine till now and then it suddenly got stuck during startup.
I talked to customer support and they said it was a OS problem and I should order a set of 6 Recovery DVDs. i want to know if using the HP recovery disk
1) Has an option to repair the system and leaves the disk partition unchanged?
2) It resets the notebook to factory condition?
3) There is an option of recovery disk which I should specifically ask for?
Thanks!!

Hi RanSri,
I understand you are having issues with the HP Pavilion dv6 7039tx Notebook.
You can restore it to a previous time when it was working correctly.

Trouble with all 3 USB Ports: HP Pavilion 14-v062us Notebook PC

I was recently playing a game on my computer with a mouse controlled by a USB drive. A little bit into the game, the mouse disconnected for no known reason. I have been playing this game about six months now, and have never had this problem in the past. I relocated the drive to the other two ports, but the device was not recognized in any of the ports. I plugged in another device controlled by a USB drive and got the same results. I have uninstalled the USB Composite Device and USB Root Hubs then restarted my computer to no success. Any help towards identifying and solving the problem is greatly appreciated!

Hi there @D3rr1ck,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
I understand that you are having problems with all of the USB ports on your notebook. I am happy to help with this.
Take a look through the following and try the sections that are applicable.
HP PCs - Troubleshooting USB connections (Windows 8)
Normally the USB driver is a part of the chipset drivers for a board, so you can also try updating that, which you can find on this page: HP Pavilion 14-v062us Notebook PC (ENERGY STAR) - Software and Drivers

T61 with XP not coming up after installation of IE7 & WMP11

Hi,
My machine is T61 7665-13A. This came pre-installed with Vista, which I downgraded to XP Professional with SP2. I'm facing a strange issue. After I installed IE 7 and Windows Media Player 11, my notebook is not coming up. It reaches a stage which asks me whether to boot in safe mode, safe-mode with networking, start windows normally & last known best configuration option which worked.
Safe mode allows me to boot and login. But when I choose the last 2 options of either start windows normally & last known best configuration option which worked , it comes to a blank screen after the initial windows boot screen with scrolling status. Even after repeated attempts the windows never boots again. It gets struck at the same stage. The keyboard also stops responding.
I'm left with no choice to re-install the OS. Is there a solution to this problem?
Thanks & Regds

Hi,
Bootstrap seems to be failing. I don't think it's up to the database, rather something on the filesystem level:
com.sap.engine.bootstrap.SynchronizationException: ERROR: Writing file http://.\bin\ext\Oracle JDBC Driver Cust\ojdbc14.jar.
Can you check if there's something strange about the location? Might it be permissions issue (bear in mind that except for CE dev edition processes are running as SAPService<SID> on Windows and <sid>adm on Unix and it's bad to have files relevant for the server that are not accessible for these users)?
Best regards, dido

Hdmi port not working on HP Pavilion g7-2240us Notebook PC

I can't get my HDMI port on my on HP Pavilion g7-2240us Notebook PC to work... Can someone please help me? (it's windows 8)

This is ridiculous - the number of hits that come up for "Pavilion g7 HDMI not working" is astounding; yet finding a useful answer, or anything resembling a useful answer other than a document that instructs 4-yr olds on how to locate an HDMI port, is impossible.
HAS ANYONE FOUND A SOLUTION TO THIS? Or is this a rampant model-wide issue that HP would rather not acknowledge?

HP Pavilion dv6500 Entertainment Notebook PC series Operating system not found

Hello to all how are you doing guys doing today I'm having a problem and need the help from the tech world. So i have a Hp Pavilion dv6500 cto notebook. I started it up and got a black screen stating "Operating System Not Found". I couldnt get into safe mode to recover back to a safe point, i was able to get into the bios system to do a memory and Hard drive test, my memory test came back as a Pass but my Hard drive came back as a fail and stated "Replace Hard Drive".
Now i went out bought a new WD 500GB 5400rpm hard drive for the laptop, i installed it and did a Hard Drive test to make sure it was good and the test came back as a Pass. Now i had this laptop for years since 2007 and it broke just a few months ago, i just got the new hard drive yestarday and was playing doctor last night. When i got the laptop as a gift i was only given a recovery disk which did boot up and gave me the install now option and repair computer option. I chose the install now option and it was starting to install but then got this error message "Windows cannot open the required file D:\Sources\Install.wim. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error code: 0x80070002." I read that you cant install windows from a recovery disk so now im back to square one.
So current status is I got a new hard drive that pass the bios test, memory test was a pass. I have no windows disk other then the windows vista recovery disk i tried but failed to install windows. I also tried a windows 7 disk from work but the disk wouldnt boot up came back with a message stating that disk couldnt be read there may be problem with the cd dvd drive or hard drive, but when i put in the windows vista recovery disk that boot up no problem. i just cant install window with it. So Im stuck with a black screen stating no operating system is not found. Note that i havent change the boot up line up back to hard drive to see if it would boot up the new hard drive but i dought it would change anything since its a brand new hard drive with nothing on it.
If someone could help me with step by step like how to get an operating system on my new hard drive. My wife has a laptop but with no cd drive so i would need instruction to boot get it on the usb. Hope i was helpful with my problem.

You have only tried questionable disks. You could order a recovery disk from HP but I am not even sure they still have Vista recovery disks. You could also buy a Windows 7 OEM disk and try that. it will cost you a bit but will be legal. What version of Vista is it? You can also try to find a Vista install disk and use the Key Code on the bottom of the laptop if it is still legible. Here is a link to downloadable .iso files you can use to make a Vista install disk that will activate with your Key Code:

Sound from speakers & headphones is monaural NOT stereo HP Pavilion TS 15 Notebook PC Win 8.1

My HP Pavilion TS 15 Notebook PC is only 2 weeks old I found out soon after I got it that any test I do of the left and right speakers or headphones is not stereo. When I click on the left speaker I hear the sound in the center and when I click on the right speaker I hear the sound in the center. I have tried a test from the internet same results. However, if I connect a bluetooth audio device then when I click on the left speak I hear the sound on the left only and when I click on the right speaker I hear the sound in the in the right only. Also when I boot the computer with Ubuntu 13.10 there is stereo distinct sounds from either the left or right when I run the left right test.
At first and before I installed Ubuntu HP was sure it was a hardware problem and sent a tech out to install a circuit board which the headphone plug was on, thinking the jack was defective and mixing the left and right channels. That didn't fix it. I went to the Realtek website and ran their program which removed all traces of the sound driver and installed the newest one they had, didn't help. Hp log into my computer and cruised around but found nothing wrong. I have played with every sound setting there is, no change. The final solution they suggest is to reinstall Windblows 8.1. I really don't want to do this as I just did it to transfer from my win 7 notebook to this one using windows easy transfer. FYI this computer is one HP sent me to replace the previous G6 Win 7 notebook which had unresolvable problems, worse than that this is the 3rd computer HP has send me to replace previous ones which each had their own set of unresolvable problems. So I haven't had very good luck with HP computers!
Anyway I am left with maybe a couple possibilities. 1. Reload windblows, I cannot use easy transfer because it no longer works on win 8.1 (maybe file history will work though I'm not sure) 2. Try windows refresh which won't remove as much of what I have installed. 3. Maybe someone has experienced a similar problem and can share here.
Any help is appreciated.
Michael
UPDATE:
HP wanted me to do a clean reinstallation of Win 8.1, sent me the disks to do it, but the disks were defective and wouldn't go on to the second disk. I used the Disks I had made from the computer they worked and the reinstallation was completed. That didn't resolve the problem! They decided to send me a replacement computer.
The new computer is a HP ENVY TS 15 Notebook PC with win 8.1 updated. Same problem except the speakers seem to be in stereo but the headphone jack is still mono. I chatted with HP last evening and was told this is a "Known problem and the fault of Windows 8.1" Can someone tell me if this is true? I have doubts but really want to know.
Michael

Hp replaced this computer for me due to this problem, however, the Envy (dumb name) they sent me to replace it had the same problem. I did fine a solution and here is the web address http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-PC-Sound-and-Audio/envy-17-headphones-in-mono-not-stereo/td-p/...
Read down a few posts for the solution by making changes to the registry. But, my problem and the solution was with a win 8.1 computer and I do not know it it applies to Win 7. Unless, you have the same sound card and driver, which I doubt. If you haven't removed the sound card driver and reinstalled it with the one on the HP website do try that.
Good luck.

HP Pavilion dv-4087CL Notebook receiving : Boot Device Not Found-Please install an operating system

My Duaghter is out of the country studing abroad. Her PC would no longer boot up so she took it to a support shop. They replaced her hard drive, fixed an over heating issue and reloaded her PC. Now she is getting this new error message and she is desparate to get this fixed. We have owned this PC for only 2 years. I am sure it is out of support.
HP Pavilion dv-4087CL Notebook receiving : Boot Device Not Found-Please install an operating system on your hard disk.
She took it back to the support shop and they upgraded her bios, but that did not fix the error message.
Please help! What can she do now.

Hi:
Normally that means the hard drive failed.
I know it was replaced but maybe the replacement drive went out too.
There is a hard drive diagostics tool your daughter can run in the BIOS.
I suggest she run it (enter the BIOS by tapping the F10 key as soon as she sees the HP welcome screen).
Then once in the BIOS, there should be a diagnostics menu..one for memory and one for the hard drive.
She should select the hard drive diagnostics application and see what it reports.
Then go from there based on what is reported.

HP Pavilion g4 Notebook Keyboard not working

I own a HP Pavilion g4 1015dx Notebook PC.
Since the last few weeks my laptop was making a lot of noise and also was not performing well. So, I read an article in HP's website about cleaning the fan.
So, I disassembled my laptop and cleaned the fan. Then, I put together all the things as it was before(at least I think I did). Then I turned on the laptop and the keyboard was not working. I checked the device manager and it showed 'keyboard wroking properly'. So, once again I disassembled the laptop and I couldn't spot the problem. There's three plastic cable strips connected to the motherboard from the keyboard case. One runs to the power button and the other two run to the touchpad. So, I do not see any wires directly connected to the motherboard from the keyboard. In device manger, it shows the keyboard as PS/2.
I haven't lost any inner laptop parts and to the best of my knowledege I have kept the things as they were. Can anyone help me with this problem??
Yeah and one more thing... there was a BIOS update before me doing all these things.
This question was solved.

never mind. I forgot to connect the keboard cable to the motherboard.
