HP PAvilion - Wont Start After Dropping The Laptop

I argued with my parent who took and dropped my laptop on the coffee table. I opened the lid to see my desktop on a resolution of 800x600 (it was magnified in a way) with no icons anything, just the cursor and nothing responding. I force booted the laptop by pressing its power botton
After that i tried both normal and diagnostic/proper setup.
In proper setup it would prepare the files them a black screen would pop up and do nothing
On a normal boot, the gui boot would be delayed by 30 seconds and would be stuck at it
I restored to my previous, clean booted stated by using my Acronis CD, fixed it but now after 18 hours of staying away from my laptop which I placed on sleep after I checked it for its functions, has the same issue with booting but Acronis wont work this time
I fear that my parent my have da,aged the new 500gb HDD that i installed 1 month ago or somehow ruined my operating system but #1 seems like the right answer since I was able to restore my laptop, but now I cant.
Please help.
I may open my laptop's back/under to check the HDD, might provide pics if i do so

Hi there @Arszilla 
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 your computer has been dropped, and now it is not working properly.  From how you describe it, it does seem like the drive may be damaged.  Since you have already reinstalled a backup image you had to this drive, what you may want to try to isolate whether the problem is the hard drive or potential damage to the system board or something else from the drop, you could try using a different hard drive. Presumably you still have the drive that you previously replaced.
Try installing it, and see if the unit boots properly. If not, it would most likely mean the problem is with the other hardware on on the computer.
Let me know how that works.

  • My z10 wont start after reloading the softwear

    hi i  downloaded the last update 2 days ago took about 2 hours
    since the update my z10 kept freezing so i did a security wipe then i updated the soware again via usb cable then i loaded my contact back on now i have tried most thing i know but it wont swith on the red led comes on for few min can some help before update it was working just fine
    regards

    Due to the number of problems with "upgrading" to this OS level, I suggest you try the very clean and very forceful AutoLoader OS Reload:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-OS-Device-Software/Upgrading-OS10-devices-using...
    Beware that it is completely destructive...the device will be "like new"...no data, no apps, no accounts, etc. Be sure you take a full backup first, as well as make full manual documentation of all apps, accounts, configurations, etc. Sometimes a restore reintroduces the very corruption one is trying to eliminate, and manual reconfiguration is necessary.
    You can also use this to fall back to a prior OS if you desire...you can install any OS level for which you can find an AutoLoader. (Hint...search over on the CB site!)
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Miix 2 8 wont start after pressing the power button

    Hey guys,i have this problem with my miix 2  tablet that whenever i press the power button the tablet goes to sleep but does not wake up agani.i can feel the vibrate by touching the windows logo but nothing happens.then again have try for like 5 mins to wake up the tablet ...i have switched off the hibernate option by command prompt but still the problem exist! if someone knows how to fix this,please tell me!!..i have been using the tablet for like 3 months already..Also i did change the broadcom settings but still the problem remains...Thanks

    I got this tablet 10 days ago and have been having the same problem. I think I solved it. It is not just the Broadcom adapter but many more (for example, Bluetooth HID device under HIDs in the device manager) that has the option of "Power Management" under the properties and there is an option called "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" (well, for Broadcom, it is under Advanced. I disabled what is known as Minimum Power Consumption). I hunted for all devices with this power management option and disabled in all of them (Well, the tablet might become more power hungry; I did not do this for the GPS). Now for almost a day, my tablet wakes up whenever I press and release the window button.

  • After inclusion the laptop asks to enter PCID

    Hello.
    I I updated BIOS, after inclusion the laptop asks to enter PCID.  Stickers with PCID on the laptop aren't present.

    I understand you are needing a PCID.
    What is the exact message you are receiving that is prompting for the PCID?
    Are you referring to the product ID?
    If you access BIOS, does it list the product information (model, product number, etc.)?

    My iPod touch 5th Gen. wont start up past the apple logo,ive tried holding the power button and the home button,and it wont start up. What do I do?!?!

    Try the remaining items of:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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 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.

  • Intel imac wont start after changing permission

    intel imac wont start after i changed my hard drive permission to let me read and write, then i clicked apply to all enclosed files.i turned it off no problem. then it never started up again in os x. the grey screen with apple logo appears,then after a minute it restarts, and will keep doing that if i let it. i can start up in windows xp, but i dont know how to do anything in windows xp that will affect os x. i can use the hard drive in target mode, but i cant figure out how that can help me. i use a macbook to view target disk. ive spent hours looking through help and support. finally i do not have the os install disks. PLEASE HELP!

    My apologies for the inept instructions.
    Restart normally. Open Terminal in the Utilities folder. Paste the commands in the Terminal application to avoid typos:
    sudo su
    Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted.  It will not be echoed to the screen. Press RETURN again. Now paste each of the following at the prompt and press RETURN after each.
    chown root:admin /Applications
    chmod 0775 /Applications
    chown root:admin /Library
    chmod 1775 /Library
    chown root:admin /System
    chmod 0775 /System
    chown root:admin /Users

  • Portege Z930-118 wont start after BIOS update

    my PORTG Z930-118 failover and wont start after i upgrading in middle of upgrade i remove power and press shutdown bottom after that i see the power and wireless but screen still black ?
    Any help please

    Hmmmm.... BIOS upgrade interruption has screwed up BIOS and thats the reason why your notebook doesn't start properly. BIOS is damaged now.
    In such case you need professional help by authorized Toshiba service provider.
    On this forum you can find many threads about similar problems. Some people have tried to fix this alone and if you are interested to read how one other forum user has fixed it check please this thread.
    Ayway, you can contact nearest Toshiba service, explain the situation and ask for help.

  • 770-G45 wont start after ShutDown

    Recently installed MSI 770-G45, problem starts when i regulary shutdown comp. from WinXP or Win7 64-bit.Computer wont start after that, like ther is no power, fans dont spin, no bips, NOTHING. I got to unplug power cord and plugg it again into psu, after that it starts normaly.
    Strange thing is that computer starts normally when i manualy shutdown system(holding the power button on the case).There is no exception, starts perfectly evry time after manual shutdown, no need to unplugg powercord.
    Rest of my components> Phenom II X2 555BE, Kingston 2GB 1333mhz, Sapphire 5770, HDD WD 250gb,PSU Corsair TX 650w.
    Tried to change power cord, tried other PSU, other case (tought its maybe power button but no), changed mobo battery, installed several OS versions (XP, Win7) and still dont have solution.
    MS 7599 ver. 2.0
    Bios version 10.2
    MoBo is new bought it 3 days ago.
    PLEASE HELP!!!!!

    First: It is important to clear CMOS after a BIOS update. Unplug power cable before the clearing, as there can be no power in the system
    Second: Rebuild the system, but outside the case. Use only PSU, motherboard, processor, one stick of memory and graphics card. If it works better then, you may have a short, from a stand-off too many, or poorly isolated wire somewhere.
    But I second it sounds like a motherboard problem. You'd better contact the one who sold it to you.
    Oh, an oldie thing! You will need to install Windows again, with the new motherboard and all.

  • Safari wont start after i installed avi player any suggestions?

    safari wont start after i installed a avi player any suggestions?

    You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
    Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Step 1
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
    Step 2
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

    Booting from a Tiger DVD gets a boot but sees no Hard drive or rather it says "an install error occured". (i was hoping an Tiger upgrade would fix the problem..)
    Brand new hard drive with 10.3.x was very recently installed w/no problems. Any ideas?

    Oh I picked the ATARI 2800 format! Ooops!
    Of course I picked the Mac OS Extended...
    Well, you might be surprised to know how many people don't. One has to ask.
    There was NO SMART status as I believ its not on 2.5" drives (?).
    Not true. Some have SMART built in; others don't. Lately they all do. Jaguar may not support SMART (I don't recall), but Panther and Tiger do if your drive is equipped with it.
    Installer disks are fine I use them to install on used macs to sell all the time...
    ...which, to all appearances, makes you a flagrant, repeat violator of Apple's licensing agreement and of the laws against software piracy. Probably not a good idea to advertise this here in Apple's house.
    As for your LB error message in AHT, I'd hazard a guess (because your hard drive no longer appears) that it might have something to do with the ATA controller on the LB. Perhaps the controller was gagging intermittently for a while before its final complete collapse, which may now have occurred. Replacing the board is the remedy.
