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.
The US support number is 1-800-474-6836.

HP Pavilion dv4 will not start up

Hi! I am hoping someone can help me. My friend has an HP Pavilion dv4--2045dx running Windows 7 and it will not start up. Once it is turned on the hp logo appears for a quick second and then a black screen with a blinking cursor in the left, top corner comes up. If I press ctrl alt del and then esc I can get into the menu for F1, F2, F11 etc. I have run and passed all of the system diagnostics tests (Start up, Memory and Hard Drive). I have tried to reset the BIOS to default condition and also tried to connect the laptop to my TV to see if it was the screen that doesn't work, but it wasn't. I tried a hard reset also. When I press F11 for a system recovery, nothing happens. It just goes right back to the black screen with blinking cursor. All of the other F-keys work and I am able to pull up screens for each, except the F11 key.
I am not very computer literate but am trying everything I can think of to get it back to factory settings or system recovery. If anybody out there has any idea what I'm talking about (I'm not sure I even do) please please give me some suggestions!!
I tried to write all of the information I can think of, but if you have any questions about the issue I'll be glad to answer what I can!
Any suggestions/help are GREATLY appreciated!! Thanks in advance for any thoughts you may share!!

Hi,
Try the following to see if the Hard Drive is accessible. The Ubuntu operating system CD you create can run from the CD alone ( ie it doesn't have to install on the Hard Drive ) When you've created the CD, follow the rest of the instructions and see if you can access the HDD - you may want to back up your existing files if you can.

Hp Pavilion d4790y does not start

My HP Pavilion d4790y starts but locks immediately in the HP Invent blue screen.
Then it will not turn off. Have to unplug it.
I have unplugged all external items except Monitor, Mouse and Keyboard. I have even tried it with just the monitor. All to no effect. Al so switched on after disconnecting computer holding switch for ten seconds. No luck.
Has anyone had this problem?

Luismog, welcome to the forum.
When I see these symptoms in an older computer I always start with a failed/failing power supply unit (PSU). Here is a guide to help you troubleshoot the problem. The PSU can cause many symptoms one being a computer freezing a lot.

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 Desktop will not start up. It is a HP 754N.

I haven't us it in a while and used it last night and it seem fine.

Aisparks, welcome to the forum.
There are two components that could be causing the problem that you are experiencing; the power supply unit (PSU) and the memory. Here is a guide to help you troubleshoot the PSU. It is for newer PSU's but it should help. To test the memory, you should remove all of it from the computer and replace it one module at a time and boot. Place the single module in the slot nearest to the processor.

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

Computer will not start up past "repair screen"

My hp pavilion touch will not start up correctly. When turned on it tries to go through an automatic repair but pops up with a screen that says "automatic repair couldn't repair your pc. Two options you can either shut it down or go to advanced options. So far no matter what I do I can not get it to finish starting up or repair itself.

How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
I understand that when you start your computer you get the automatic repair screen and neither option presented makes any change.
Can you start it in safe mode?
If not I would suggest going to the recovery manager for more options
On start up of your notebook press the F11 key approximately once every second to access the recovery manager. This may take a few moments to display so be patient.
You will see different options available depending on what Operating System you are running.
For further assistance please provide your exact model of HP notebook and your Operating System.
Good Luck!

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.

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!
This question was solved.

That would definitely work, thanks!

My laptop ( hp pavilion dv6-6b27nr entertainment PC) willl not start up. the screen is blank.

I have a HP Pavilion dv6-6b27nr Entertainment PC (Win 7) It would start up with the message "BIOS RECOVERY" . It then would not start up at all. I took it to a repair shop, they contacted HP and got it working. i took it home and it worked just fine the same day, however when I tried to use it the next day the screen is just blank. i tried the take out the battery process with no effect. i then tried tapping the f11 key at start up. the fan came on and it made some noise, but has failed to show anything on the screen. When I turn it on the caps lock key blinks continually in a sequence of two blinks. (When i brought it home from the repair shop I downloaded malwarebytes and quarantined 87 pups etc. )

HI @owe ,
Thank you for your query, I will do my best to help!
I grasp that you received a bios error and the notebook would not start. You took it to a repair shop, who contacted HP and got it back up and running. When you took it home it ran fine. You downloaded malwarebytes, installed and ran it, and quarantined 87 pups etc. When you tried to use it the next day you get a blank screen and the lights blink twice.
Here is a link to Computer does not start and the LEDs blink or the computer beeps . Two blinks again refers to the bios.
You should not be having a bios problem so soon after just having it repaired.
There may be a hardware issue that is causing this and I would test the hardware rule that possibility out. Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 7, Vista)
If you are still unable to determine any problems, you would have some options.
You can try to restore the bios yourself. Restoring the BIOS
As you just got it back from the repair shop, you could take it back to them to see what they say.
As you stated that the repair shop called HP, you may be able to acquire a reference or case number to refer to and call them yourself. Just to clarify you do not need the case number to contact HP support but it would allow them to more easily locate any case notes from the previous call.

Hello, i have a hp pavilion dv5 laptop and my mouse has started to close tabs instead of open them.

Product name: HP Pavilion DV5
Operating system: Windows 7
No error message
Unsure about upgrades (my laptop constantly has a message about some update or another. Every time I turn it on it starts to try an update)
Recently my mouse pad has begun to malfunction. When I hover my mouse over a tab in an internet browser and click the tab to open, my computer closes the tab instead. I have tried turning the mouse pad off and on again as well as restarting the laptop to try and resolve the issue. I have tried clicking on different parts of the tab as well, making sure that I am as far away from the "x" as possible and the tab still closes. Please help.
Thank you.

It appears to problem with my mouse is isolated to Google Chrome. Firefox appears to be working normally with my mouse.

My HP Pavilion dv6-3060sa is not starting up on power plugging. Removed Battery Tried Hard boot.help

HP Pavilion dv6-3060SA is not starting up, tried hard boot but still no solution. The charger is OK. The problem is no LED blink on power connect as well no starting up of Laptop. Please help.

If you have another Mac, use Target Disk Mode. Connect your Mac to the other Mac using a Thunderbolt or FireWire cable, and hold down the T key while booting up on the problematic Mac. If you go into Finder on the other Mac, the first one's hard drive should show up as a disk.

Pavilion dv5 not recovering

Hi,
I was having error messages, software and system crashes and hang-ups, so I tried using my Windows Vista Home Premium Edition recovery disc to restore my pavilion dv5-1124ca to factory standard. During the recovery processes i got an "error 1005" and the process stopped. So i tried recovering from the hard drive instead, everything seems to be installing and going smoothly, but when the computer restarts, I get a message telling me "to install windows operating system". If i choose one of the options like: start windows normally or safe mode etc. i then get a blue screen that shows memory dumping. I did all the hard drive and memory checks, the system still shows that Vista is still installed on the hard drive.
HELP PLEASE

Somebody help me please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hp pavilion dv2500 laptop does not start -Pls help.

Hi,
I have HP Pavilion dv2500 laptop which I bought from US(before 3 years) and using in India.
It has Windows Vista installed on it.
It has been very frequent that the laptop does not start. Today my laptop started after 10 days or so.
It does not give any error when I press the start button. There is no change in the screen as well.
The CPU light blinks. The power light also blinks. But the HARD DISK light does NOT blink.
If I keep on hitting Escape/F10 key then sometime it may start.
Before two months my battery was giving some problems and it used to finish very early. So I had to always plugin power chord to use laptop. Then I started getting above problem. However I bought new battery. But then also the laptop start problem exists.
I called one of the guy and he says that I need to replace the motherboard which could cost around 8000 / 9000 INR(160/180USD)
Is it hardware problem? I am not sure if it's some other problem.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Purvesh

Try my hard reset method.
1) Remove the battery and unplug the DC power adapter.
2) Press and hold the power button for more than fifteen seconds.
3) Plug in the DC power adapter (leave the battery out for now)
4) Press the power button
Please post your positive or negative results here in your thread.
Best regards,
erico
