HP Pavilion dv5-1254 not turning on

My HP laptop hasn't turned on for a long time. I recently bought a brand new battery brick and AC adapter, and did countless hard resets. There are no lights on at all with the laptop, except the light on the side next to where the adapter goes in. That light is just straight white. But nothing else is lit, or turns on. 

Thanks for getting back to me! 
There are a few things that may be causing a problem like this. There are many places internally that could have a loose connection or a short in a cable. If you're familiar with using a multimeter, you could test the battery contacts on the notebook for continuity with the AC adapter plugged in and batter out, to make sure power is going through the machine and all the way to the battery.
You could also try clearing the CMOS settings by removing the RTC battery for 30 seconds and putting it back in. It is the coin-battey located inside the bay on the bottom of the computer, closest to you with the battery compartment farthest away from you. Here is a link for more information on reseating the CMOS/RTC battery.
Let me know what results you get, if you get a chance please

  • Pavilion dv5-1151 not starting.

    Got a HP Pavilion dv5. It is about 5 years old.
    Last Tuesday the AC Adapter started to heat more than usual. At first the laptop turned off and I waited for the AC Adapter to cool down and retry it and it worked. After reusing the laptop for another 30 minutes, the AC Adapter went very hot again and a small bang sound went from it (it died).
    I got a new universal AC Adapter but the laptop won't start.
    Symptoms:When I plug the new AC Adapter into the power jack, the light near the power jack turns on like it did with the old one, when I press the power button to turn it ON, nothing happens.My battery is long time dead but I tried it anyway. With battery and AC Adapter the light in front of the laptop (front left) is on, showing that the battery charges but when I press the power button to turn the laptop ON, that light shuts down and nothing happens.
    Any ideas?

    You could probably use the dv5-2134nr without an issue. I'd really recommend you just call HP to order the factory restore discs.

  • Pavilion dv6650et is not turning on

    I have Pavilion dv6650et with p/n GY439EA#AB8
    I changed the mode the sleep mode
    After that unable to turn it on back. It is on charge, screen is completely black. None of Lights on the front panel are on. Only blue plugged in light is on, right side. Tried removing the battery and work with A/C, but didn't work. Tried removing battery wait for some time and put battery back. This also didn't fix. Laptop is not opening up at all, no sound no light nothing. Can't go to BIOS as it is not turning on.
    As problem is same I read about HP Limited Warranty Service Enhancement for DV6600. Couldn't see dv6650 there.
    Did anyone experienced similar problem with Pavilion dv6650et? I really appreciate if you can share your insights for solution. Thanks.

    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP Pavilion dv6t Notebook and crashing issues or not staying on. Here is a link to overheating as this might be the cause of the shutting down. If the Notebook has dust on the fans it could be overheating. If that does not help at the end of this document it shows you to do a hardware test.  Here is a link to test and calibrate the battery. Here is a link to test the ac adapter.
    Hope this helps.

  • HP Pavilion dv6-1355dx not turning on using AC power supply.

    1. Product Name and Number:
        VM222UA#ABA "HP Pavilion dv6-1355dx"
    2. Operating System installed (if applicable):
         Windows 7 64bit
    3. Error message (if any):
         Dose not turn-on  on AC power or charge the battery
    4. Any changes made to your system before the issue occurred:
        None
    Summary of the poroblem:
    Facts:
    1) The laptop works perfectly fine using the battery.
    2) The battery dose not charge using the AC adapter that came with the laptop.
    3) The battery dose not charge when the laptop is turned on or off.
    4) No chaging light turns on when pluged into AC.
    5) When the battery is pluged into the battery slot on the laptop, the white AC power led on the dc jack turns off.
    6)The very second I remove the battery from the computer, the white AC power led on the dc jack turns back on!
    7) With the battery removed and the AC power supply pluged into the laptop, the laptop won't turn on, and the white AC power led on the dc jack remains on.
    Tests done:
    1) Used another adapter with the laptop, but had the same problem.
    2) Used different battery, but had the same problem.
    Interesting fact:
    When the battery is completly drained out, the white AC power led on the dc jack turns on, but I still cannot turn on the laptop on AC power supply.
    Note:
    I Have a multimeter that I want to use to test the power supply and charging circuit on the motherboard, but I don't have a schamatics of the mother board, so I am stuck.
    Any suggestions from the HP community would be appriciated. Thanks.

    The laptop has a modular DC jack that plugs into the motherboard with a cable and does not require soldering. The first thing to try is a replacement of that jack. Here is the Service Manual:

  • Hp pavilion touchsmart will not turn on

    Hi, I have a hp pavilion touchsmart laptop. I used my computer the other day to save a file onto a flash drive and It was working fine. I haven't touched it since then yesterday morning I noticed it was off and wouldn't cut on so I figured it died and I plugged it up and let it sit on the couch to charger. When I went to pick it up and turn it on about an hour later it was very hot and wouldn't cut on. The light next to the charger port is orange when you first plug it in then turns white after a few mins. No other lights are on and nothing happens when I press the power button. I'm still under warranty but I would like to try and fix myself before I go through that long process. Please help thanks in advance.

    Hi @SKS_Paviliondv6 
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that your notebook is stuck in a type of error loop, asking for a startup repair. I am happy to assist.
    Have you ever backed up whatever data there is on this notebook, or is there anything of value on it? If there is nothing of value, you can try restoring the factory image, assuming it will function.
    Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 7)
    Troubleshooting HP System Recovery Problems (Windows 7)
    If on the other hand there is some data on there that you want to back up, then I would do that first. To assist with that you can use the service manual to help with removing the hard drive, and then you can use a compatible external drive bay, and connect that to another device to make a copy of the things you do not want to lose.
    HP Pavilion dv6 Entertainment PC - Maintenance and Service Guide
    Also you can refer to this page on various ways to back up that data.
    How to Recover Data from the Hard Drive of a Dead Laptop -wikihow.com
    If the recovery process fails as well, then it is likely a hardware issue of some sort. You can try looking at this page which offers some options for hardware testing, if you can access them.
    Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 7, Vista)
    In my opinion, if the notebook is as old as you say, and if it comes down to a hardware problem, it is probably not worth fixing; but that also depends on the type of hardware failure. If it is something comparatively minor, and easily replaceable, then it may be worth doing; but if it involves a board or processor, then it is probably not worth doing at this point.
    I hope this helps.

  • Pavilion dv5 - battery not charging

    I just bought a new battery for my HP Pavilion dv5t-1200se and it will not charge. It says "plugged in, charging (0% available). I read on a few other forums that when you first get a new battery you should charge it for 24 hours, so I did that, but it still reads 0% and if I unplug the AC adapter, it immediately goes dead.
    Please help!

  • Hp Pavilion G6 screen not turning on

    I bought my laptop used. The person told me that they contacted HP and said that it needed a new mother board. I have replaced the mother board along with a new hard drive. It still does the same thing it done before I replaced mother board. The fan is running, the F12 button is lit up red, and the caps lock button is flashing about every 3 seconds. I have tried taking the battery out, unplugging it, holding the power button for 30 seconds, then putting the battery back in and pulgging it back in about 5 times and still, nothing happens. Please help. Thanks!

    Hi  ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. It is a great site for information and questions. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion G6 Notebook and getting a blank or LED beeps on startup. Try performing a hard reset.  Please note remove any and all USB devices, and remove memory cards from the card reader slot. Disconnect all non-essential devices. Here is a listing of blank screen LED error codes. You could try restoring default settings on the BIOS. I would be happy to assist if needed. How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?  What is the description of the HDD and motherboard you replaced on the Notebook?Hope this is helpful.

    Hey ThijsJager,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    As your computer is not starting, and not making any sound (ie. fan), I would suggest the following document 'Computer Does not Start (Windows 7, Vista, XP)'. You will want to complete the general troubleshooting steps, and then I would suggest following the steps under Symptom: LED lights do not glow, display is black, computer does not start.
    Please let me know the outcome of the troubleshooting steps.

    I grasp that when you power on the notebook it flashes 3 times but does not boot to Windows.  Here is a link to Computer does not start and the LEDs blink or the computer beeps that will help you determine the cause.

    Hello Edisonss,
    I understand your computer will physically turn on but it will not show an image on the screen, is that correct? I will try to assist you with this issue.
    If you have access to a external monitor you can use the VGA connection & cable to hook the laptop to it. if that is possible you can test and see if the external monitor receives a feed from the computer.
    Please respond back at your earliest convenience.

  • Recovery Does Not Reinstall Windows on HP Pavilion dv5-1127cl

    Hello,
    Recently, I tried to do a factory reset of my laptop. I used the recovery partition by pressing F11. It ran through reinstalling all of the HP software but then would randomly shut off when trying to reinstall windows. I tried the recovery process over and over again and got the same result. The recovery discs are not available for my computer as well. 
    My product name and number: HP Pavilion dv5-1127cl
    Operating System: Windows Vista 64-bit
    Error Message: Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation.
    Any input on this would be good, I have been very frustrated trying to get this to work. You wouldn't think your recovery would fail, seems to be a very important option to the computer!
