Hp pavilion dv7 is on power but does not start

Hi all, 
I have an HP dv7-4169WM. When I connect it to power, no LED lights flash or anything, but I know it is powered (tested both on adapter and battery, separately) because if I connect anything to it, like my kindle, it is being charged (which is weird because why would my computer do it if it's turned off?). 
So anyway, I know it's not an adapter and/or battery issue because of the above, however, the computer doesn't turn on. When it's on AC, the light doesn't turn on or anything. It did turn on once and there were plenty of long beeps (after checking the forum, I see that this probably has a meaning). It was acting all up but I still managed to install new software updates (ridiculous I know, but I thought maybe that would help). Then it restarted just fine, no beeps or anything. Then I turned it off and disconnected all components including the power adapter. The next day, dead (well, not completely, seeing how it still charges my kindle or phone). And since then I can't turn it on at all. Any ideas?
Many thanks in advance!

  • Xfce4-power-manager does not start, but after relogin - works

    Hi all.
    When I login after system start, xfce4-power-manager does not start and systemtray icon doesn't appear. But after relogin (not restart), the systemtray icon of xfce4-power-manager appears and power manager itself works correctly (if I don't relogin, notebook will shutdown after 10 minutes of downtime - that rule doesn't exist in xfce4-power-manager settings).
    Diff between two logs (before relogin and after, xfce4-power-manager --debug command)

  • Pavilion G6 2249WM powers on but does not boot - black screen

    I have a G6 2249wm that had a message that the fan wasn't working. I had the fan replaced and after it was replaced it would not boot. I could hear the fan running and the caps lock light blinked once about every 5 seconds and the amber wifi light was on. After researching and taking steps outlined in the HP Computer does not start (Windows 8), I found that the code meant that the CPU was bad. I had that replaced and the notebook is still in the same condition. Is there anything else that I can do to get this computer to work?

    After troubleshooting a little more I find that when the laptop is started the hard drive does not turn on. I used a USB adapter to plug the hdd into my desktop and found that it does work. I then plugged a different hdd that I know works into the laptop and found the same issue. Does this mean that the motherboard is bad?

    Hello @FLC123,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! 
    I understand that your notebook computer is producing a blinking light from the caps lock, and that the screen is blank. I would be happy to help you!
    Since this symptom code is appearing after you have replaced the CPU, I recommend contacting our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

    Welcome to the forum!
    Let's try this: remove the battery, hard and media drives. Unplug the AC adapter. Press the "power" button 10 times in a row, holding it down for 10 seconds each time and 30 seconds the last time around.
    Plug the AC adapter back in and try to power on.
    Good luck and let us know.

  • MacBook Pro can turn on and off, but does not start up. Stays on white screen with flashing folder icon, does not go to desktop.

    MacBook Pro is not starting up. It just stays on a white screen with a flashing folder icon. Have tried restarting while holding the Option key, and the cursor becomes visible and movable, but it does not go to the desktop.

    Hello Sonya_Rose,
    I found this article when researching the issue you describe here named A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac found http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1440.
    Check the mouse and keyboard
    This issue might occur if a mouse or trackpad button is pressed during startup. Make sure the button isn't pressed.
    If the issue persists, shut down your Mac with its power button, disconnect any external mouse and keyboard, then turn on your Mac with its power button. If the flashing question mark issue persists, reconnect the keyboard and mouse.
    Additional steps
    If your Mac still starts to a flashing question mark, follow the steps below. If any step resolves the issue, you don't need to continue to the next one.
    Select your Mac OS X startup disk with Startup Manager by restarting and holding the Option key. After your Mac starts up, restart again to verify that the flashing question mark does not appear.
    If the issue persists, insert your Mac OS X installation disc. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc.
    MacBook Air note: On a MacBook Air, there are two options for starting up from Mac OS X media: Either connect a MacBook Air SuperDrive to the MacBook Air via the USB port and restart the computer, holding down the C key during startup, or use Remote Install Mac OS X to startup from a system software DVD that's located on a partner computer. Once started up from Mac OS X media, skip to step 3.
    Restart the computer, then hold the C key during startup.
    From the Utilities menu, choose Disk Utility. Don't click Continue.
    Select your Mac OS X disk (named "Macintosh HD" by default) in the left side of the Disk Utility window.
    Click the First Aid tab.
    Click Repair Disk to verify and repair any issues with your Mac OS X startup disk.
    After repairing the disk, try to start up normally.
    Important: If Disk Utility finds issues it cannot repair, you may need to back up as much of your data as possible (or use Time Machine to back up to a different disk), then erase the disk and reinstall Mac OS X. You should back up important files and data before erasing a drive. Erasing deletes everything on the hard disk (including things on your desktop). Also, you can install Mac OS X onto an external disk, start from the external disk, and use Migration Assistant to transfer items from your usual internal Mac OS X startup disk to the external disk, then erase the internal disk and reinstall Mac OS X.
    If the issue persists, and Disk Utility didn't find any irreparable issues, quit Disk Utility, quit the Installer, select your disk when prompted, and restart.
    If the issue continues, reset PRAM. Note: After resetting PRAM, if the computer starts up normally, reselect the startup disk in the Startup Disk preferences.
    If none of these steps resolve the issue, start up from the Mac OS X Installation disc and reinstall Mac OS X.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • Elitebook works on battery and charges it - but does not start with it (only starting on AC)

    Hey,
    my 8460P only starts up when connected to AC power. Even with a fully charged battery it does not boot, i also have tested this with a replacement battery - but batteries are working on another Probook.
    Strange: If I unplug the AC directly after powering ON, the 8460p continues running on battery.
    What exactly happens:
    I have fully charged battery and no AC connected. I press the power button, the CPU fan makes noise (full throttle), LEDs are glowing: Wireless, Power and HDD. The DVD drive is initializing... and then after 3 seconds device shuts down - BUT the power LED keeps glowing.
    If I then press the Power button once again, nothing happens.
    But when I connect the AC back, the SCROLL LED glows for about 3-4 seconds and then turns off.
    What I did already: The well-known hard reset (disconnect everything, hitting power 30seconds): no success.
    Latest BIOS is installed. Factory defaults loaded... nothing. Played around with different BIOS settings (everything which sounds for "power" or "AC" tried...) nothing.
    This is not OS related - so updating any drivers or software does not make sense. 
    Further remarks:
    Also from the sleep modes (hibernate or S3) it will not wake up from battery... again only when connected to AC!
    Any solution/idea? please support. 
    Thanks a lot!
    regards,
    G

  • Pavilion dv6 - laptop receiving power but will not power on

    Pavilion dv6-6c53cl
    Windows 7
    As of earlier tonight, I can no longer power on my laptop. (I powered it successfully earlier today.) When the power adapter is plugged in, the indicator light on the laptop next to the power connector socket turns on, so at least the laptop is receiving power. I've tried removing the battery and disconnecting the adapter, draining the power, and reconnecting the adapter with and without the battery in, and in various orders. I've also tried removing and reseating both RAM sticks and the hard drive, all to no avail. Any suggestions?
    This is the fourth major failure of this system---the first three were a fan problem just weeks after purchase, a hard drive failure, and another fan problem---since I purchased it 22 months ago, and I feel I've bought a lemon.
    I'd like to avoid taking this in for repair if possible, because the local repair contractor (I live in Australia) badly bungled the previous repair: They took several weeks even to start on the repair, failed to fix one problem, and introduced a second, more severe problem (a keyboard failure, which somehow they didn't test despite apparently removing and reseating it when fixing a fan problem). I asked HP support about this, and the rep said there were no other shops near where I live that do in-warranty repairs. Please help!

    Can you post the different things you have tried and Current version of OS on this notebook?

  • New iMac shuts down but does not start as set in Energy Saver Schedule

    Set Energy Saver schedule to shut down at 2300 and it does so at approx 2305. Set schedule to start up at 0700 and it does so the next day but NOT after that (have repeated the exercise 3 times - same result!).

    You should not be having "Energy Saver" problems on a new iMac.
    Have you tried any of the following?Restarting your computer?
    Doing a PRAM zap? 
    Since you are still under warranty, strongly suggest that you take full advantage of it by calling Apple tech support.  Especially if you are within 90 days of your warranty and/or have AppleCare. 

  • Forms applet is inited but does not start

    I've installed developer server 6.0 along with OAS 4.0.7. I have
    configured a web listener in OAS and created a static (non
    cartridge) start HTML file to start the Developer 6 Demos.
    JInitiator 1.1.7.11 is also installed. When I go to the URL of
    the start HTML file, the plug-in starts and the splash screen
    appears. In the status bar of navigator (4.5) the message 'Applet
    oracle.forms.client.Main inited' appears. But after this, nothing
    else happens. No message 'Applet started', no start of
    applicaton. Is there anybody out there with this problem (and
    perhaps solution)

  • The Document Conversions Launcher Service status on a SharePoint Server 2013 Web front-end server displays "Starting" but does not start or stop

    I have this strange error showing up from my second Web Front End Server, "The Document Conversions Load Balancer service is stuck in starting, The status showing up "Error Starting". When I lunch the start, it runs then went back to
    the same status "Error Starting" for the "Document Conversions Load Balancer Service". How can I get of rid this issue?

    Hi Mannyabdon,
    Based on your description, I recommend to check the things below:
    1.  Run the PowerShell command below to check the status of the Secure Store Service:
    Get-SPServiceInstance |Where {$_.typename -like "Document Conversions Load Balancer Service"}
    If it is not showing online, please stop the service first and then start it to see if the issue still occurs (the
    <ServiceGUID> can be obtained obtained from the command above).
    Stop the service:
    Stop-SPServiceInstance -Identity <ServiceGUID>
    Start the service:
    Start-SPServiceInstance -Identity <ServiceGUID>
    2.  Check the ULS log for detailed error message.
    For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS.
    Thanks,
