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?

Mail receives OK but will not send for smtp account. Exchange server receives/sends OK

mail receives OK but will not send for smtp account. Exchange server receives/sends OK I'm away from home, using a family-member's wireless network that has always worked OK in the past. Today, the same problem occured while waiting in a hospital waiting lounge. Any ideas?

The outgoing mail server may be rejecting mail from your network address. Typically that happens when your mail service provider is also your ISP, and you connect to it from another network. The SMTP server will allow connections without a password from anywhere, but it will only relay mail from within the ISP's network. It could also be that your account on the server has expired or been suspended.
If you need to send mail from outside your ISP's network, use an independent mail service provider. I don't have a specific recommendation.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

My vintage Power Mac will not power on. The power on button lights up, but dims after releasing the button. What is the problem?

My vintage Power Mac will not power on. The power on button glows bright when pressed, but dims to off after releasing the button. What is the problem?

The battery is the PRAM battery:
Your Mac stores certain settings in a special memory area even if it is turned off (unless there is a battery issue as described below). On Intel-based Macs, this is stored in memory known as NVRAM; on PowerPC-based Macs, this is stored in memory known as PRAM. Information stored in NVRAM or PRAM may include:
Speaker volume
Screen resolution
Startup disk selection
You may need to reset the NVRAM or PRAM if you experience issues related to these functions. For example, if your Mac starts up from a startup disk other than the one you've specified in Startup Disk preferences, or if a "question mark" icon appears briefly when your Mac starts up, resetting NVRAM or PRAM may help.

Replace the battery and reset the PRAM.

Can I purchase a replacement battery at Walmart?
Likely not.
Order one at OWC for the best price ($20+ at Radio Shack):
NewerTech 3.6VPRAM 3.6v Lithium 1/2 AA PRAM... in stock at OWC
But have not sure what a PSU is or how to test it.
PSU- Power Supply Unit.
Then the steps that I deswcribed may be a bit advanced for you?
The PSU is the gray box at the top rear of the interior, the box to which the power cord is attached and has the fan blowing hot air out.

Ibook abruptly lost power and will not power on

I have a G4 Ibook. I have had it since Jan 06. I just got it back from having the optical drive replaced since it quit last April. All was working fine for just less than a day when it abruptly lost power and will not power on at all. The company did the repairs has trouble shot try to power it up and is arranging for us to ship it back. Any ideas of what it could be, and the likely hood it is related to the upgrade vs. a fluke occurrence that I will have to pay additional money to fix?
CG

It's hard to say for sure, but if the iBook powered up perfectly before the repair and didn't power up after the repair, you could argue that the upgrade caused the problem and it shouldn't be extra for them to fix it. I'm guessing, but the power input and the battery are in the vicinity of the drive, and it seems likely that something wasn't properly assembled or got damaged and that is what led to the failure. I wouldn't expect an independently occurring fluke.
Good luck!

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.
Cheers,
George

Battery is charged but will not power Powerbook

According to iStat and the Powerbook, my battery is charged. Also, all lights will light up if I take the battery out and press the button.
When I try to turn the Powerbook on with battery power it will not work. Also, when I take the plug out while the system is on, the Powerbook turns off.
Does anyone know what the problem could be? I was going to call support, but by the time I settled down this evening they were closed. I don't even know if they are open on Saturdays so I might be stuck until Monday.

Looks like your battery is in better shape than mine, should be good to go.
Open System Preferences > Energy Saver
From the Settings For drop-down, choose Battery and set for Better Performance.
If that makes no difference, try resetting your PMU:

Pavilion DV6 1320sl stopped working and will not boot

Pavillion DV6 1320 was beiing used. Had been running hot - fan was on all the time. The left mouse pad button was pushed and the screen went black with a blinking cursor. It will not boot. There have been no software or hardware changes, a nd it hasn't been dropped. Win 7 64 bit is installed and it has run OK since new in 2009. There are no error messages. Turning off the machine is with i single depress of the power button.
Turning machine on disk=plays BIOS message to sel esc to enter BIOS. From BIOS, system check of memory, hard disk and hard disk SMART have been run. All passed.
No other BIOS function works - ie f9, f8 ,or f11 all do nothing.
I ran the hard reset to no avail. The buttons glow but the screen remains black with blinking cursor. I followed the HP guideline for trouble shooting a black screen with glowing buttons. Didn't help. swapped each memory bank and tried each possible bank configuration. Didn't help. Replaced the RTC battery and reset BIOS to default. Didn't help. Hooked up another monitor but that didn't help either.
I did not try system restore, but f11 doesn't work and booting from cd was unclear as to results - I didn't have a boot disk so I used disk 1 of the restore set. Nothing happened.
I used canned air to blow out the cooling holes but they didn't seem clogged (although the fan was on much of the time these past few months).
I'd appreciate any ideas. Perhaps a component has been burned. What would be the visible symptoms of a CPU failure? What about the chip set - if the Northbridge fails, what would it look like?
I don't think it has actually loaded and is a video chip failure but who knows? I'm open to suggestions.
Rob

Thank you and yes it is an Airport Express.
Reset router; could not locate the unit using the Airport Utility.....took back for an exchange under warranty as it was only a week old....no problems at store - exchanged for a new one

HP Pavilion G7 Laptop with Windows 8 will not shut down

Yesterday I did a recovery of Windows 8 and my Laptop works great. However, after doing a Windows update my Laptop did a restart displaying the % complete. I left this run overnight. This morning with a black screen, the computer's Fan running a full speed I am unable to shut down the computer.
Holding down the Power button does nothing. I can't even take the battery out because the computer has locked it's access. My Wifi button is stuck on, I've unplugged my computer but it does have a full charge.
So, How Do I Shut It Down? I've never seen this before.

Hi @kscottr181 ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is a dynamite place to find answers and information!
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
I see you have a G7 notebook but what is your exact model?
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
I understand that after doing a Windows 8 update it restarted and remained at 0% complete. You left it overnight and in the morning you had a black screen and the fan was running but you are unable to power it off. You tried holding down the power button but are unable to remove the battery as it has locked access to the battery.
You have removed the AC power but it is still running on battery.
I have never heard of a notebook locking access to the battery before, however some models do not allow battery removal.
First I would try to do a hard reset. HP Notebook PCs - Use Hard Reset to Resolve Hardware and Software Issues
If you are still unable to power off the notebook, please disconnect from AC power and just let it drain the battery until it eventually turns off.
Here is a link to HP Notebook PCs - Computer does not start (Windows 8) in case you have a startup issue afterwards.
Good Luck!
