  Hi @jaimet1, @Sinister , @stevestock1 , @Kscarlisle , @Abdullah_Ali ,.

  Thank you all for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. It's a great site for information and questions. I looked at your question about your HP Pavilion Notebook and starting problems.  If you have replaced the motherboard and it is always the case - it isn't the graphics as graphics are attached to the motherboard. Here is a link to computer will not start.  I start at the top and work my way down.

  Mine has been corrected with the relocation of the HARD drive. Others must have fixed with just reinstalling the memory. Here is a video that shows you how do to remove and reinstall the HARD drive and memory.

  Note Remove all USB devices. Disconnect all devices of non-essential, as these can cause some problems.

  You can Reset the BIOS with this document by selecting the reload the default BIOS settings. Helping others it restores the default settings.

• HP Pavilion a6040a will not start

  Hi guys,.

  My Pavilion a6040a desktop running Vista home, does not start. All I get is a blank screen and a beep code (1 short, 1 long, pause, repeating endlessly). I can't run any recovery CD and I got up to the part where I have to take part in the troubleshooting guides (http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/bph07107). However, I do not trust myself to remove, and will send a Tech if there is anything else I can do to solve the problem.

  What happened in head upward to the accident:

  Was functioning normally, do not try anything too demanding (just updated the client Java but I don't think that it would be the cause?)

  Had a BSOD, restarted in safe mode, can't find the cause so restarted in normal mode to connect to the net.

  An another BSOD a few hours later, restarted directly in the system recovery to run a diagnostic.

  During the tests, the screen locked completely, and I had to force a shutdown.

  Following this accident, the computer was unable to restart (see above).

  Blue screens came too fast for me to read, and the error code that came after the first BSOD has been saved on the hard disk, which I cannot now access. If there is any other information that might help, I will try and provide them, keeping in mind, I can't have the system running at all to check the news!

  Any help is very appreciated. My partner has an assignment for her master's degree due to a week and really needs the computer in place and running

  Thank you!

  Unplug the computer and open the computer and remove and reinstall the memory. It is as simple as simple can get.

  Even if you have the open computer take care of blowing dust around the CPU. Just look at the pictures in the link I sent. It could be that a fan does not spin also. Before you replace the cover, Plug and turn to see if fans turn.

• Pavilion dv6: computer HP pavilion laptop does not start and I do not see the screen because it's broken

  I have the HP pavilion computer laptop windows 7 and I broke the screen about a year, I can't see the start menus. I have been using an external monitor and it has always worked well, but now I can't see how to fix my computer to boot.  I did a hard boot but nothing happened, and with a broken screen, I can't see any of my options on how to fix it.  It does not start.  Looks like it is, but because I don't see the menu F8 or Boot, I can't call themselves that the screen can be done.  Help, please.

  Hello @SPKaler,

  Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums, I would like to draw your attention to the HP Forums Guide first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

  I read your post on the issue with the laptop won't start does not and wanted to help you!  I understand that the screen is damaged and you are using the external monitor to view the screen.  However, now that the laptop does not start, you can see is more of the external screen to see what is happening.

  From my understanding, you should not be able to see an image on the external monitor, until you start the operating system.  You can try to perform a system restore by using this document:

  HP computers - performing a recovery of system HP (Windows 7)

  You may be able to follow along, long enough until the image is displayed on the external monitor.  Otherwise, you can contact HP support by phone, for additional options.

• My Pavilion g does not start. The switch does not work. Any ideas how to start the computer?

  My laptop series HP Pavilion G7-1135sd will not start. I get no response from the switch. Some lights come but the display does not illuminate. I tried holding down the power switch for long periods - without success. I tried to take out the battery - also without success. Any ideas?

  Hi @DutchyH,

  Welcome to the Forum.  Sorry to hear of your problem power button on your HP Pavilion g7-1135sd.

  In a situation like this.  You have removed the battery and tried to push the power button with out.

  Have you tried while he was not powered as well.  So basically, remove the battery and hold the power button for 40 seconds with the power cord not plugged in.  Then replace the battery followed by power cord.  Then press the power button again.  If it does not at this stage I would contact HP support by phone.

  Please contact our technical support at the 800-474-6836. If you do not live in the United States / Canada region, please click the link below to get help from your region number.

  I hope this has helped you.

  Thanks again for posting and have a great day.

• HP pavilion a6530f will not start

  I've had my hp pavilion a650f for a while now, but it froze and now it does not start at the top. It does not display anything on the screen [Yes monitor works] and does not beep. I have tried to remove all the ram, using a chip work in each different slot, then try a slot at a time. I also thought that my cpu radiator became very hot to be only for a minute or two. I watched very closly at my motherboard and saw not a single ceiling was blown. Also when I take all my ram and put again, it still is not a beep. Everything is always origanel, but on the cpu, try to fix it, I put a new thermal is dedicated to the but nothing happened, the cpu still very hot. If you have any suggestions, please tell me, I am not willing to get a new motherboard, the old one would be repair. Finally, I took the hard drive to use on this computer, so I wonder if that could affect it. I also removed all pci cards and reinstalled the and even tried to install a pcie card that BT was eventually released because nothing happened.

  Hello mwoj00

  If everything turns on but nothing never appears on the screen, nor is there a beep? If so, it seems that maybe it's a CPU, motherboard or power supply problem.
  1. If the computer can not POST (which should return a beep) the processor might not work to run the self-test instructions. The heat you describe could be due to a short circuit in the CPU or receiving too much blood since you said you already tried to replace the thermal paste.
  2. the motherboard contains the processor and is interfaced with many components. So if there is a problem with the BIOS or a circuit, it can cause problems like this to happen.
  3. If the power supply is none working them properly, it can send too much or too little voltage to power everything correctly. Too much tension can on components of heat and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, while too little energy will prevent all components currently on/off.

  Order, I put it in what seems to be the most likely culprits. Have you tried to clear the BIOS settings? The link on the parchment of the previous sentence to the section 'clear the BIOS settings '. Also when you say that the monitor worked, have you tried it on another computer?

• Pavilion A1507UK does not start until left and turned on for at least 5 minutes before trying again.

  Sorry if this is a long post on a stupid problem but it baffled me completely. It started a few weeks ago, that is to say not start when turned on first, but start normally have been left at least 5 minutes.

  My first thought was that the hard drive may be failing, so I bought a new one (same model) and cloned the original using Seagate DiskWizard. The swapped and the fault was still there.

  Then the food. Bought another (identical) and them inverted. No difference, still don't need warm up before boooting. Both power supplies tested A1 on a multimeter.

  OK, so it must be the motherboard. Bought another (identical ECS RC - 410M rev 1.03) a Pentium 4 CPU and new radiator and fan to go with it. Swapped their course and other BIOS of Compaq and not HP, cela worked perfectly, in addition to having to be put on for 5 minutes before you start...!

  Tried original power with the new motherboard - started immediately when first in market but the next morning - no change. Pointing to the motherboard (being hot when we food supplies changed) again.

  The only thing I haven't changed is the memory and the on/off switch (I tried fill the pins on the map and the fault was still there), but that passes all the tests I can throw at it.

  Then I read about the bad capacitors. Found 2 those inflated in the region on the original Pavilion on board voltage regulator and was able to change them for 2 new hats of Nichicon, thinking it was the answer. It wasn't. Return all right, swapped boards is dory hunky apart from the refusal of this computer to start when the first step. Also I can't find a single capacitor bad look on the Compaq Board that shows the same characteristic.

  I am now at the stage that I think that someone else must have met this problem if I now get with almost 2 completely different computers. There must be something really stupid that I didn't think or an amazing series of coincidences if all these bits are bad.

  Help someone?

  Eyemdee, have you tested the memory.  I had almost the same problem when I built my last computer.  Finally, it came down to memory.  I replaced it and everything was fine.  As I said, I would test it before buying more, however.

• Pavilion M6-1045dx: HP Pavilion M6 does not start

  My computer does not start.  Screen is dark, even if I hear a fan.  When I tried to start, it turns on and turns off after a few seconds.  I removed the battery and the power turns on but does not start.  I tried a hard reset, nothing helps.  I also eliminated a fo the two strips of RAM and tried to start with each of the two, but this doesn't work anymore.

  I had installed a Samsung SSD a year ago and everything worked fine.  Last night, I reinstalled the rotation of the original hard disk supplied with the computer and the computer booted.  I reinstalled the SSD and everything worked like new.  In other words, until this morning.  same symptoms.

  How to diagnose and fix?

  I forgot to mention that after I installed the original hard disk, the bios updated and the computer worked fine until this morning.

  Caps lock key seems to blink twice, but the model is difficult to discern.

  Hello @Dakest,

  Thanks for the quick response!

  Please see the following documents and let me know how it goes:

  HP computers - HP BIOS selected Application is damaged or missing

  If you're still having problems, then you can consider replacing the CMOS battery, to see if this solves the problem for you.

  I hope this helps.

• HP Pavilion dv9260nr does not start after the bios update

  After the HP Health Check, it was recommended that I have updated to the current bios.  After you have downloaded and installed, the computer would not start.  Instead, it emits a long beep and 2 short beeps and the screen is blank.  How can I recover a bios update failed?  Is there a way to return the computer to the bios Setup?

  I thought I would post here to help others as I just spent 5 hours to fix this problem. I have personally experienced this on two different computers, both are model DV9260NR. I woke up in the long and short two beep power. The first time it happened, I tried to fix the BIOS by using the recovery disk, but it didn't work. I tried this using a USB floppy like any other player. The floppy drive should get accessible, then machine would be on a second beep then stop, but it would remain under tension. The first time around I gave up and eventually return it to HP as it was under warranty. This time above the current problem computer is more under warranty so I decided to test out of old college. After trying several discs crisis different Phoenix, I finally found one that worked.

  I downloaded crisdisk.zip here:

  http://www.mediafire.com/?3ccb9m0kv0m

  Followed by the latest bios from HP for the DV9260NR

  FTP://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp42001-42500/sp42187.exe

  I used 7 - zip to extract the files in sp42187.exe and crisdisk.zip

  go to the folder where you extracted sp42187.exe and rename it to 30BBF2D. WPH into the BIOS. WPH

  Copy BIOS.wph to the folder where your snippet CRISDISK.zip

  I have created my disk in Vista, so don't worry about going "Real DOS".

  YOU MUST USE CRISDISK TO CREATE THE DISC!  SIMPLY COPY THE RIGHT FILES ON A FLOPPY DISK DID NOT WORK!

  Open a command prompt, I used command.com not cmd.exe

  CD to the folder CRISDISK.

  At the prompt enter: "CRISDISK. "BAT HAS:

  Finally, put in a blank disk and follow the instructions.

  Once the disk created, slap this puppy in a floppy USB drive and plug it into the computer.  I didn't need to use as or Windows + B, B FN hotkeys to trigger the BIOS recovery. The system entered in the BIOS for me recovery mode and tried to access the USB floppy.  I noticed that not all USB ports will work.  I plugged my USB stick, floppy to the next to the power supply.  If all goes well just turn on the computer with connected USB floppy drive and the disc in the drive. As before the system beeps once per second during playback of the disc.  The disk activity, arrested again, but this time that the system kept beep immediately after discontinuation of access to the drive.  These beeps point you out that the BIOS is flashed, it's just leave turn. When it was made the machine itself set off.  If yours is not, so I doubt that the BIOS recovery will succeed. I then unplugged the USB floppy drive, turned on again and to my surprise I was greeted by the HP and the BIOS logo!  I hope this helps people difficulty of their DV9260NR.  I met four dv9260nr machines and two of them does not update the BIOS using WinPhlash and the finished machine trashed, not good statistically.  I hope that others with the same model will be able to get their machinery running. I'd be curious to know if it works for others.  Post here if you are or do not succeed using this procedure. Good luck!

• Pavilion g4 will not start

  I have a g4 Pavilion that will not pass the main logo at the beginning. I did a quick test of system and get software disk errors hard drive dst short. do you have a large trial and it also stops to with ¨type:system... result: failed¨ another test read ¨type: hard drive... result: failed¨ can I do to make it back or I get a new one, this laptop is not even a year old.  She has windows 8. I´d appreciate any help. Thank you.

  The hard drive has failed and needs to be replaced. Because the laptop is less than a year, you should still be under warranty. Contact HP support in your country /region and counts test results. Usually, they will send a new hard disk that is easily replaceable. If you have not created your recovery media you will need too... Worldwide contact information can be found here >Contact HP

• Pavilion a6327uk will not start. Light output at the rear is enabled, all the work of 3 fans, but does not start.

  I have a Pavillion equipped a6327uk for vista 32 bit. I had similar problems before and remove all cables, hold the button to boot without the power connected, reconnect the and then turn on solves the problem. I suffered a blue screen, where I was told the computer was stop and spills of memory. Then I rebooted the computer froze and since then it will not start. I led on the power supply/process button cable about 30 times more than three days without success. The computer does not go to the HP logo screen, it just stops. Can anyone help with further action please.

  It could be almost anything that prevents your computer from starting to start to eliminate things.  If the computer under warranty?  If this is not the case, unplug everything including the power cord from your computer. Unplug the keyboard, monitor, mouse, readers flash and all other connected outside of the machine. Open the unit and unplug all the devices connected to the power supply except the motherboard.  Disconnect the hard drive cable and power supply data connection, disconnect the connection cable and power supply of the CD/DVD data, disconnect any drive card reader or floppy drive.  Therefore remains connected to the power supply should be taking 20/24 pin to the motherboard and 4 or 8 pin 12V for the cpu power cable.  Remove all cards that may be in the slots, as the video card, modem, network card (if they are not built in to edge of devices.) Just the cards that can be inserted into the slots.  Make sure all items are away from the computer and cannot cause a short circuit when you use power. Look at the motherboard and see if the capacitors were bulged or rounded top and maybe even a brown substance leaking from the top.  Check the video card as well for the same and a blocked fan who may have been not turn.  Test the power supply with a volt/ohm meter if you have one. If this is not the case, turn on the power and see if the fans are running and you get beeps.  If this isn't the case, hold the power button for about 5 seconds until the machine turns off.  Try only a chunk of memory at a time and in each of the slots.  If it starts to act normally, it is probably food.  If the sounds seem normal, unplug the power cable and install one at a time from the video card and connect the monitor to it. Plug the power cable from back in and start the machine.  If you have a video, keep disconnect power, adding another device such as the keyboard and the mouse until you arrive finally to your hard drive.  Do your last hard drive because there all your important data on it and you do not want to expose to all this test.

• My HP Pavilion DV6 will not start after replacing the screen

  I just replaced a cracked screen by following the instructions in the maintenance manual and now it does not start. The power light turns on and the fan works but nothing else happens. What can I do to trouble shoot this problem?

  The most common problem is the connection of the cable to the screen.  Make sure that it is tight. Check the connection to the motherboard as well, but it's usually OK.

• Slimline Pavilion s3300t does not start

  What is fake

  When the computer is turned on the blue light. CD drive flashes several times. The keyboard lights do not come. The hard drive light does not illuminate. Monitor does not light. Hard disk can be heard to power it up/spinning. Supply fans, CPU, graphics spin. Green power light on the back of the power supply is on (even if computer is off). No computer beeps. Computer can be turned off by holding the button market / stop.

  What I have tried-

  I tried another monitor / no monitor, keyboard (ps/2 and usb) / no keyboard, connect monitor to different ports (hdmi, dvi, vga) opened case cut / replugged the power (including the motherboard power) cables and hard drive. Deleted graphic card, memory. I also deleted BIOS and password using the jumper. Same result of computer do not start and no beeps or messages.

  When he started-

  The problem started when the computer was installed Vista SP2. Computer attempted to restart itself, but he stops and never returned. I waited 30 minutes, then holding the button market / stop.

  I'm guessing that there is a problem with the motherboard. Unfortunately this model isn't on the recall list.

• Pavilion dv6 3010so not start

  My laptop does not start correctly. This happened after I had to force close is there a few days after it froze.

  When I start it, it almost goes right to the black (I am able to press ESC to switch to the Boot Menu screen). The power light is on, as well as not soun andWiF lights (F11 and F12) and the hard drive and the battery is running

  I tried a hard reset, but it does not work. I tried to connect to the TV, but I get no picture

  I tried to run a start-up test and a run to here, and the two tests failed

  When I enter the start menu and press F11 to perform a system recovery, I get a blue screen with a picture (original startup screen, maybe?), and after about 10-15 minutes, I have the option to format.

  Should I format, or even send it in for repair? I would really like to avoid this because I have files, I want to first of all access.

  So, it's official. The HARD drive has failed. It's a little depressing, but well, they are easy to replace!

• HP Pavilion dv7 will not start Windows 7

  I need assistance or advice from those who have more experience or a more extensive knowledge in this area. I'm working on an HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook pc. Product # is LW181UA #ABA. It has a CPU of 2 gig Hz Intel i7, 8 GB of memory (2 4 gig mem modules), a Hitachi 750 gigbyte HD. He ran and passed the tests of memory, burn in tests, tests of hard drive and startup tests that are run by pressing F2 during power on. When you arrive at the start of the operating system screen. It has Windows 7 64-bit version of the operating system. Then he begins to show the bar graph to slip at the bottom of the screen shows the percent of loading hangs and emits a constant beeeping. If I try to go for repair options or selections of recovery, it does the same thing. For me, I don't see how I can have a hardware problem because it seems to pass memory, disk and start diagnosis? The only thing the owner said to me was that they had spilled a glass of water or soda on the laptop. I expected the pc must be dead or have a power supply problem but not the case. Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated because I don't know where to go from here. Also, I use an external keyboard.

  Thank you
