My laptop won't turn on after loud pop HELP!!

       I'm in the process of moving so I connected my laptop somewhere new on Sunday. I connected the laptop to a surge protector then proceeded to connect the modem to the laptop. The problem happened when I connected the modem to an extension cord, it made a loud POP noise. When I went to turn on the computer, it wouldnt turn on. I tried then turning the laptop with it's battery but still nothing. My Best Buy warranty just happned to expire on me on August and it was too expensive to put it back on. My question is, is there hope for my laptop? it's only 2 years old, an HP Pavillion dv6000. I appreciate any help, I want to know what should I expect before going to Best Buy. 
Also, when the battery is inside and it's connected, the light turns on like normal, only that the back gets hot. I appreciate ANY help.

Sounds like the onboard power supply is bad. That may requie the system board be replace.

  • Laptop won't turn on after BIOS update

    A few days ago, my 9470m Ultrabook automatically updated its BIOS. This was fine, as it has updated its BIOS before in the past. I went to do some things while it updated, and when I came back, the laptop had turned off. The charge light (the lightning bolt light on the edge of the laptop) was blinking white and amber and did not turn on when I pressed the power button. When I took off the battery, the light stopped blinking, and when I put the battery back in, the light began to blink again, but the laptop still would not turn back on when I pressed the power button. I've tried taking off the battery and plugging in the AC only, but still the light would just blink and the laptop would not turn on when I pressed the power button. I do not know what is wrong. The laptop had been working flawlessly until the BIOS update. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks to any support.

    Hi,
    At first, please try a Hard Reset as follows.
    Performing a hard reset
    Disconnect all peripheral devices and remove all USB devices and SD media cards.
    Disconnect the AC power adapter, remove the battery and then press and hold the power button for at least 15 seconds to drain all residual power and restore default startup settings.
    Reconnect the AC power adapter (but do not insert the battery), press the Power button, look for glowing Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) near the caps lock and num lock keys, and listen for sounds of a fan or other moving parts turning.
    If the computer starts normally after performing a hard reset, you are done troubleshooting.
    When the Notebook restarts keep tapping the f10 key to enter the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the defaults (this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.  Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
    I am waiting to hear back from you.

  • Dv9000 Adapter plug glows but laptop won't turn on - after I replaced motherboar​d

    So I tried installing a replacement motherboard myself on my dv9700. Apparently I'm not the only one with this problem. Anyhoo, I got the old one out after much stress and got the new one hooked up to the power and connected all the cables and tried to get a BIOS boot. The lights, fan, and optical drive all came on for a second, then shut off, then came back on but no BIOS, so I manually shut it off after a half minute or so. Then I thought getting the OS drive connected might do the trick. No such luck - in fact now the computer won't power. I tried putting the old motherboard back - same luck. My IT friend came over and noted (and I know this sounds idiotic on my part) that I hadn't swapped the CPU and the heat sink onto the new motherboard. We moved them onto the new motherboard but still no joy. The adapter glows at the connection but obviously the power is not flowing to the rest of the laptop. I know I'm a bit hardheaded to try to attempt this myself but what's done is done. I'm wondering if any of you kind non-flaming souls could tell me what the problem might be. My IT buddy thinks that there might be a short somewhere but that he downplayed my worst fears that I fried the new motherboard since the computer was only on for seconds at a time. 
    Please help if you can with any ideas of what the cause might be - I'm probably taking it to another repair shop in a day or two but I'd like to be armed with some ideas. Thanks!

    No flames but it is not looking good. I have done dv6000 and dv9000 motherboards and I rank them as about the hardest laptop repairs I have done. Not for the newbie. Trying to power on a board with no CPU and fan in place should not have fried it in and of itself but the fact that you did that makes me question the entire technique you used. One screw in the wrong place or one touch at the wrong time CAN fry it.

  • My notebook blacked out & Charger keeps Turing green & orange & laptop won't turn on

    My notebook blacked out & Charger keeps Turing green & orange & laptop won't turn on , I need your help.

    Which model MBP do you have (15" late 2011, for example).
    There are a number of things you could try - restarting in Safe Mode (start up with teh Shift key held down), resetting the SMC, etc., but I don't really think that those 'quick fixes' are going to help.
    If I were you, I would just take the machine into your local Apple Store and have them run diagnostics on the unit. If it's out of warranty, they'll give you an estimate for repair and will charge you nothing for the diagnosis and estimate.
    Sounds as if you've a hardware issue... maybe try running the Apple Hardware Test and see if you've any errors?
    Good luck,

  • Hp laptop won't turn on at all.

    I have no idea what model it is. Where do I find this in the machine.
    The laptop won't turn on. I have changed the fuse in the plug but the wires are not getting warm.
    I have no idea. When the battery is in and I try to turn it on the orange light flashes. However when I take the battery out and plug in to the wall and try to turn it on nothing. No light.

    Hi @Jillrich ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read about your HP Notebook and getting a blank screen on startup. Try performing a hard reset.
    When performing a hard reset please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices.
    Here is a link to computer won't start for Windows 8. Did you replace any of the hardware?
    Have you tried a different walloutlet  or a borrowing a different AC adapter?
    I would be happy to assist if needed. How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
    Please let me know how this goes.
    Thanks.

  • Laptop won't turn on

    I was trying to do a secure delete on my Apple, but I couldn't figure out how. So I just started throwing everything in the trash.
    Now my laptop won't turn on when I press the power button. Should I get an Apple restore disc?
    What should I do? How do I fix this problem???

    Hi,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    One easy way of secure deleting, or deleting in general (use mostly when delete a large number of files) is to put all the files in one folder (just create a random folder in Finder) > Press Control (ctrl) and click on the folder > Go down to move to Trash (in the popup menu) > Go to Finder > Secure Empty or Empty Trash.
    Did you delete the files or did it just shut off? What exactly were you deleting? Languages, fonts; anything like that? You may want to look at Knowledge Base Document #106214 on Troubleshooting Startup Issues. Do you get any sounds or flashes of light (from the "sleep" light)? You may want to try booting up in Safe Mode (Knowledge Base Document #107393 on How to Startup In Safe Mode), or with the install discs.

  • MacBook Pro 15" won't turn on after a shut down.

    My MacBook Pro 15" late 2008 mavericks won't turn on after a shut down. Tried SMC reset, plugged and unplugged charger multiple times as well as installing the battery. It has started that after a while I have replaced my old battery with a new one,upgraded to Mavericks and increased my memory to 4GB. In the beginning after I would install every time the battery ,it' would turn on after 8-10 tries. Today it's completely unresponsive . Tested different outlets, with and without battery,nothing worked. I also heard that some other people have this issue once they have updated their operating system from  10.5.8 to Mavericks. Is that the problem.? Has anyone found a solution to this?

  • Hello... can anyone help, my late 2010 MBA's - OS X Lion 10.7.5 wifi won't turn on after a deep sleep

    can anyone help, my late 2010 MBA's - OS X Lion 10.7.5 wifi won't turn on after a deep sleep.. thanks..!

    Hi John,
    Thanks for the additional information.  What I would try next is resetting System Management Controller:
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
    You can find the full article here:

    Hey! Don't mind.
    First Off, you upgraded your phone, not PC Suit.
    You most probably did it by using PC Suit (PC suit uses Nokia Software Updater) to upgrade it.
    I suspect there was some fall out while downloadin or installin the updates.
    Earlier I would advise people to go to nearest Nokia Care centre.
    Now, the 3 fingers action might cure it well,though I'm not sure.
    The method:
    --The number 3---the * star----The green call key--- .
    If the phone still cant turn on.
    Then, if you have any warrenty and have a nokia care centre near you, make a trip to there.
    They will cure it.

    And when you held them neither the red Off slider nor the Apple logo appeared?
    If not then your sleep button is broken, you will need to get it serviced.

  • IPhone won't turn on after brief blue screen.

    My iPhone is currently broken, won't turn on after a blue screen appeared briefly. Won't even connect to my PC or iTunes. Won't even charge with my charger or using a new charger from a family member. Won't hard reboot by holding home top button. Anyone know what my situation is? Checked over the internet and couldn't find any similiar situations. Also this occured after i was browsing Reddit so nothing intense was occuring on my phone at the time.

    I'm afraid you'll have to get it looked at by visiting an Apple Store or Authorized Service Provider next to your place or by contacting Apple:
