dv7-1270us accidental power cord Bump
So, the other night, I was using my laptop with the power cord plugged in. I had completely forgotten and picked up my laptop in another room. It pulled out the power cord from my computer.
I now have trouble to take the power cord to the power jack on the side of the laptop. I don't have to wave around, but it takes a few tries before it connects and starts to charge the battery. When he does not want to take the charger, the little LED next to the power supply blinks instead of stay on constantly. When the computer accepts the cord, the light stays on.
He isn't physically feel that something is wrong, but if I have to fix it, no one knows how I would look at? Or should I just watched in get a new computer?
Thank you
James
Decision-making is modular, which means that it can be replaced without welding. Decision-making is at little cost; well under $ 20. Assuming that no other damage has been done other than the Jack, you look at maybe $100 to replace the Jack in a local store. The work is also achievable by a well-organized and modestly qualified amateur. This is the plug for $4 on eBay:
Your manual:
Page 102. My only reservation is that the dv7-1000 is one of the hardest working models on... a lot of things going on in there. lots of screws and subsets. However, if you follow the manual, keep track of screws and usually attention it can be done.

Pavilion DV7-6175us: wire frayed at the power cord
I just discovered this thread in my power cord cut tonight. Spare part number is 609940-001. As you can see, the white wire is broken, but the only issues I have experienced with my laptop is my AMD display driver to crash. But after you have reinstalled it and Direct X, as well as some versions of Microsoft Visual C++, the stability of video cards has improved considerably. But tonight, he crashed twice in 5 minutes, and then a few seconds later, just let Windows down and showed me a message of BSE on my display driver. I then looked at my power cord, and I find the severed cord. The severity of a problem is the next, and how long should I try and get a replacement cord? Thanks for reading and thanks in advance for your answers.
Stop using it. It is a fire hazard and a danger to your laptop. Get a new one immediately.

blue screen after pulling on the power cord
I accidentally pulled the power cord while the computer was on, now I get a blue screen that says to run checkdisk, but I can't go beyong trhat screen.
my suggestion is to start your computer with a xp cd and run a chkdsk command & via the recovery console fixboot.
There is more info here but focus on option 2: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314058
Sometimes the fixmbr command must also be executed as well, if the computer gives you an error message later on "master boot record".

Hello. I have a Pavilion dv7-3171nr, Windows 7. It's a laptop. In the last few days, I noticed some strange things that I've finally pinned down for my power cord. I've been hear a sound like a bug zapper. Not as loud, very weak, that's why it took me so long to locate where the devil noise came from. When I hear the noise, it caused small power outages in the lamp which is located in the room in which I work. Then, of course, at first I think it is the lamp, or the light bulb, our electric system... Anyway yesterday I finally put the finger on it at the exit of that my power cord is plugged. When I unplugged it, all of these symptoms have disappeared. At that moment, I realized that it was plugged in all the other times also in all other rooms, I was in when all this was going on. Everyone knows about this problem with a power cord? I had a lot of laptops over the years and this is a first for me!
Good decision.

I tried all things hold sleep button to connect to the computer, then hold power button waiting and then start your computer repair but the iPad won't do anything except show the same screen, then after a few hours, the iPad is going to a dead battery. I tried to put the power cord but just ping guard. HELP Please,
If that doesn't work, restore your device to factory settings. Please note that this will delete the data on your device.
Take a look this Apple Support article: use iTunes to restore the iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support.
As a final step, try recovery mode. Turn off your unit, then plug it to your computer with the hold home button. Hold down Home button until you see the logo of iTunes on the screen of your device. After that on your computer, you should see the iTunes window saying that your device needs to be restored to factory settings. Click Restore.
