Laptop will not power on when power button is pressed

I have a Pavilion m6
model: m6-1045dx
Laptop will not power on when I press the power button. It is fully charged. The only light that will come on is the light indicating that it is fully charged. I have tried removing the battery and then putting it back in but that did not work. I use this laptop for college and it is time to go back to school. Please help!

Try a hard reset, works sometimes.Disconnect all external devices first.
1-remove power cord and battery
2-press power button for 30 seconds
3-reinstall only power cord for first startup.
4-try power on

Latest generation 160 gb ipod will not play music when play button is pressed

latest generation 160 gb ipod classic will not play songs when play is pressed.Everything else forms and functions are ok

Make sure your headphones are plugged in all the way, meaning you cannot see any of the silver still showing from the headphone's plug.
A feature of the Nano is to put it to sleep when the display goes out and it does not detect any headphones.

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

Laptop will not power on even after hard reset

hello, this laptop had a problem with the keys not typing, it was working fine the other day, then it suddenly would not type, i had to use on screen keyboard to log on , i had done a few thing like check filter keys were not on etc, when i was googling to try and find a solution, i was going to try system restore but the computer went out of charge so i plugged charger in, normally this would bring laptop back on when i press power button, but it has died, no sign of life at all, i tried the obvious solution, take battery out, press power button 30 secs, plug adaptor back in and switch on, nothing, there is no sound coming from it and no lights anywhere, it is only about 18 month old, and does not get heavily used, surely cannot be a serious problem, even though the charger was working perfectly weel that morning, i obtained one from a friend who has an hp laptop with same charger, made no difference, any suggestions please

I have done this, we got an adaptor from a friend with an HP laptop, her adaptor is working and charging her laptop, so we borrowed it, removed battery again from the one we are trying to fix , but still nothing, no lights anywhere, not a sound of anything happening, i really do not understand this, as it was working fine ,apart from the keyboard problem , there is not much on it,it is not heavily used and it is not much more than one year old, there were no error messages, blue screen or nothing, it just looked like it had run out of charge, but like i said, when i plugged in charger , it would not come back on, thanks for your reply

Lenovo laptop will not power up at all. Please help

Ok, so I got up this morning to turn my laptop on and it acted like it was gonna power up but nothing ever appeared on the screen. So I took out the battery and put it back in to see if that would work, but now it doesn't show any signs of power at all. I read somewhere it could be the motherboard cause even while plugged in it doesn't work. I just got the laptop a week before Christmas so it's not like its that old. Also the battery was holding a great charge before this happened so I know its not dead. I can find the receipt to bring it in, but I do have the bank statement from where I paid with a debit card so would that suffice enought to exchange it? Thanks for any help.

Kinda sounded like they tried that nono "cause even while plugged in it doesn't work."
Definitely try xl's info and try taking out the battery and unplugging it, hold down power button for 15ish seconds, then reinsert battery, replug in and try to power it on.

Laptop will not power on

Laptop will not charge even when plugged in, stuck at 95%

I have a brand new HP dv6t-7000 which just came in today and after a few hours of use it already has a problem with the battery. The battery refuses to charge even when the AC adapter is plugged into the PC. The tray icon states that the computer is "plugged in, not charging".
The laptop works plugged in without the battery and vice versa (though I am afraid of draining any more of the battery). I have tried the ACPI control method/fixed button uninstall solution, a bios update and every combination of shutting down, removing the battery and the AC adapter and nothing works. The HP support assistant tells me that the battery status is ok.
This was my first HP purchase in more than 8+ years and there's a problem straight out of the box and I'm getting pretty frustrated. Any help is appreciated.

Oh. It seems once the laptop goes below around 90% it will then start charging.

G570 will not power on with or without battery

I have a G570 that will not power on or charge regularly. I have tested ac adapter and i am getting 20 volts. I also tested power at the jack on motherboard where the power port plugs in and getting 20v there as well. If I remove battery laptop will not power up on just ac adapter. If I plug in ac with battery installed the power button, power light and battery light just blink but still will not power on. I have left overnight and still nothing and I have tried 2 new batteries. My thinking is motherboard and I have tried googling but have not been able to find this exact symptom. Unit is out of warranty .

hi itrcomp
I would suggest doing a power drain
Remove AC and battery and hold down the power for atleast 15 seconds,
then reconnect just the Ac see if it will turn on.
One thing is sure here, your system is not getting power from the AC,
The light blinking when you have the Battery in is an indication that the battery power is low and it is not charging.
Your troubleshooting steps leaves the AC and the (Power system-DCjack or motherboard) the culprit.
Your System also has a DC in Jack part like this
Part number 31048400
PIWG2 DC-IN CABLE-15.6
that might also be the cause.
You can check your system Maintenance Manual about how to go about checking this.
I would suggest to Call Lenovo Technical Support for assistance if your not comfortable about opening the Laptop.
Best Regards
Solid Cruver

DV4 1275 Power Issue, Battery not charging, Will not Power with AC only

HP Pavillion DV4-1275mx
Battery will not charge, Laptop will not fully turn on with battery in (battery not charging at all). Laptop will not power on at all with no battery using only AC and with battery it will attempt to load and die due to lack of charge.
Have tried 3 diff HP chargers.
The orginial 1 that came with the laptop is dead and will not charge anything. Tried it on a diff HP laptop and not recognizing any power
The 2nd one is OE HP laptop diff model but same wattage that came with my gfs work laptop. I have charge my laptop with it before in the past however it is not charging the battery now either
The 3rd is a aftermarket generic one that my g/f bought in the airport and it works with hers as well however I have never used it on mine.
I have tried hard resetting.. taking out battery, holding power for a min and replugging everything.
Also when I remove the battery and plug in either of the chargers that do work the power LED are "not" lighting up on the front or the LED where the AC plugs into the laptop. Which makes you think the charger is bad however the 2 working chargers do work on my other 2 HP laptops.
If i plugin one of the 2 working chargers with the battery it will go through the boot process and as its starting windows it just dies and shuts off. The power led by the DC jack does light up and the charging light on the front lights up. However this only works when I unplug the battery and plug the AC charger in. After the laptop boots up to starting windows and dies. I have to remove the battery and replace it to get the LEDS to light back up.. If the MB was bad I wouldnt think any of the LED's would come on nor would the laptop boot up to the starting windows. If keep trying to turn it on the booting time is shortened as the battery is not holding a charge and sometimes it only makes a few seconds and then just dies out.
I dont have alot of money to spend so I was hoping maybe you could point me in the right direction.
Should I buy the replacement part OE charger for my specific laptop? (not sure if its going to be much diff than the others since they are all 65 watt chargers)
Should I buy a new battery as well?
Or does this sound like a short problem in the mother board or a solder issue with the DC plugin?
If it is an issue with the motherboard I do not want to go through the hassle of buying the battery and charger as I will end up having to just replace the laptop
If you could please advise me what direction to go I would be so greatful.

Dude, I have the same exact problem with mine. It's not a cheap fix either. It definitely is the motherboard.
I'm no expert, but I believe the problem is a dead capacitor on the motherboard preventing it to build up a charge.
I spoke with an HP rep, which told me it's $398 for them to fix.
I let them know that I didn't have another $400 to put into this laptop. So, they suggested I try reseating the motherboard. And also reseating the memory modules.
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01597750.pdf
That is a pdf of the laptop's manual. It'll help in reseating. Page ( 59 ) for the motherboard. Page ( 67 ) for the memory modules.
This hasn't helped at all with mine, but maybe it'll help with yours!

I have a Mac G4 double mirrored model and everytime I shut it off it will not go on when I hit the power off button. However, if I unplug and plug in the power cord it boots fine and everything is OK. The PMU and logic board have been reset. Any ideas?

I have a Power Mac G4 double mirrored model and everytime I shut it off it will not go on when I hit the power on/off button again. However, if I unplug and plug in the power cord it boots fine and everything is OK. The PMU and logic board have been reset. Sometimes my Mac goes on just by pressing the power on button but most times I have to pull the power cord and put it back in. Any ideas or help out there for this? Could it be a failing power supply? Apple Care says that this model is obsolete so there is no help from there. John

Hi John,
That's often a sign of a bsad Capacitor in the Power Supply, but...
Might be time to replace the PRAM Battery, 4 years is close to their lifespan, far less if ever without AC power, & can cause strange startup problems...

My Mac Mini was not sending a signal to the monitor. I powered down using the power button and now it will not start. When i power up I get a strange 2 tone sound, like a warning alarm. The fan starts, and the light comes on, but no screen

I have tried with a wired USB keyboard and mouse using a single screen. Powered up with option pressed. No change.
Reset SMC no change

Run the Apple hardware test to see what it tells you. Run the extended test when prompted, which can take awhile.

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

My iPhone 4 will not power on. When connected to iTunes via my computer, it is recognized and shows fully charged battery. Pressing and holding the sleep/wake button does nothing; just a black screen. Any suggestions?

Only way is to bring it to the Apple Store and use the warranty if it hasn't expired
