HP Pavilion a6552f Desktop will not start - almost tried everything

I have no idea of what happened, I wasn't home when this thing is dead.

When I left the machine was not anything... I had a 2.5 drive "in a case connected to the usb with usb power. I was told that my diet was probably too short for my video card, but I used it for over a year without problem, and indeed, while this machine is always on, I rarely use it. I have a laptop.

Came out for a few hours, come home and the machine was off and wouldn't start.

symptoms...

1) press the button, nothing happens

(2) has a few breakdowns on the power supply with no luck

(3) open cases. When you press the button the cooling fan move half an inch, but that is all...

bought the new PSU... same problem persists.

(4) tried removing memory, swap sticks...

(5) went out the cable to the card readers (heard it was a problem)

(6) checking that everything was sitting

(7) replaced CMOS battery

All the foregoing and he hehaves the same way... Press ON... fan turns half an inch, and that's all. Desktop will not be powered.

I would really appreciate any other suggestions. Maybe the jury is dead?

Thank you

I would recommend the procedure. Try to re-seating CPU if you are able to do. Disconnect all components as ODD, HDD, add on cards and try to power system. If the problem remains the same, I am convinced that MB was defective. If MB will run, try to connect the components one by one to determine which one is causing the problem. Good luck.

  • Dimension 4700 desktop will not start

    I have a Dimension 4700 desktop computer that has been sitting in storage for a while. I wanted to start and see is there something to this subject that I had to save or erase the hard drive. As far as I know, it was working fine when it was put away. Now it won't start at all. Here is what I know-

    Dimension 4700

    Service etiquette: ADMIN NOTE: Service tag deleted by privacy policy >

    running Windows XP Home Edition

    Power light turns on and remains lit (green). DVD players do a rotation test (but will not read a boot disk). The hard drive light comes on and stays on.

    Does NOT display a Dell spash screen. The screen is blank (black) with the exception of a simple white flashing cursor (line underscore). It crashes in this condition.

    Does not meet the keyboard commands (ctl + alt + del, esc, f8, f11... etc.). Does not respond to reset (press power button in disable).

    Diagnostic lights are lit on the rear panel. A, B, C are all stable and green. D is amber and regular.

    All inner and peripheral cables seem to be properly fixed.

    When the power to the hard drive cable is removed, it does NOT POST beeps (the condition is the same).

    I can't get to the Setup screen. I can't boot from a cd. I don't get any sound signals (beeps).

    It is out of warranty, and troubleshooting knowledge base sent in a recursive loop items that never exceeded the step #2. Someone at - it suggestions?

    Because it has been stored for a while, first stage, with the PC off, is to reinstall (unplug then plug back in) all the memory, PCI cards such as video, sound, etc. and all cable connectors.  Make sure that when you plug the points back in that you get fully and correctly reinstalled.     Back off and see if that makes a difference.

  • HP Pavilion dv5z-1200 will not start, flashing LEDs

    LEDs keep blinking once every 4-5 seconds, computer does not start even in the BIOS.  Out of warranty.  The table shows the CPU is not functional.  After the hard reset several times, after the failure of the CMOS, I reinstalled the memory modules, nothing helps.  I opened the darn thing, reinstall the CPU, cleaned the existing thermal paste and replaced with a high thermal conductivity, one and clean thermal gel pads ugly that supposedly provide a cooling the GPU.  All this for nothing.

    Should I assume by now that the CPU is fried, or is there a chance to distance the BIOS EPROM chip is toast and cause all this?  Someone has experience in this sense, is the flashing model good to locate the faulty component?  All ready to offer their advice Jan 11-12 HP Expert?  I replaced a BIOS chip in an another HP Pavilion of last spring, so it wouldn't be a problem.  Don't want to invest all efforts - and paste - for nothing.

    In any case, this is / was my last HP laptop ever.  Between a ze4547 and this dv5z, I got so of many hardware problems, I prefer to buy netbooks cheap every two years than spend a zillion things expensive, shiny, flashy with abject genius inside.

    Thanks in advance to anyone!

    Taking up this issue and reported a permanent fix (i.e., more than 5 months).  Yet once, the defect could not solder in the graphics chip ATI Radeon (Northbridge).

    Chip HP ships this with a simple gel pad main Board between the radiator and the graphics, which after > 1 year of running hot develops inclusions of air and turns of conductor of heat a heat insulator.  Due to the high temperature resistance, brazing under the chip will slowly oxidize anr / or crystallize and develop cracks and inclusions of oxide.  The only solution in addition to buying a new card of mother is reinvest with a heat gun, or using a special station of redistribution and the improvement of heat transfer to the heatsink.

    Here's what the complete repair consists of:

    -Disassemble the laptop according to the instructions in the maintenance manual; Make sure that keep track of where each screw came from

    -Remove the heat sink fan and clean the end inside of the metal fins (simply by blowing canned air will not work)

    -cut a ~ 1 mm of thickness copper thick to the exact dimensions of the cushion gel covering the ATI Radeon chip and ensure its two surfaces are clear of any oxide

    -Clean the CPU and the Radeon perfectly cooling surfaces using 92% isopropyl alcohol; in a similar way to wipe the corresponding surfaces of the shiny heatsink

    -dissolve welding flow or Rosin in a few mL of 92% + isopropanol

    -pour a few drops of this solution of rosin under the chip Radeon on all 4 sides; Rosin ensures that reinvest the chip will recreate connections free of oxide with the main card; use a pipette or a pair of tweezers for this and not to spill the solution outside the area of interest

    -make a mask cardboard lined with aluminum for the entire main Board having a place of opening in the Center exactly as big as the Radeon chip; Make sure that the coating of aluminum foil extends to the lower part of the mask through the operning square to protect the card against high temperatures. use this youtube video as a guide (minute 06:50)

    -heat gun to regular heat on 'Medium' (or 'Low' if only two power settings); taking the mask in place immediately on top of the Radeon chip using a tool metal long (so you do not burn your fingers), slowly heat by lowering the gun hot air for the duration of a minute

    -maintain the hot graphics chip for about 30 seconds into the air gun hot about 1-2 inches above the chip. Make sure that the mask with double foil is aligned with the chip to avoid burning its below or other components of the motherboard; consider wearing a thermal glove or leather on the hand that holds the mask down with this tool metal long

    -slowly raise the heat gun on the time of ~ 30 seconds and then remove the mask and let the chip and the main map to cool for about 1-2 minutes

    -It is best to test repair before reassembly of the computer; to do this, connect the power button, display, cooling fan, a single chip of RAM and a charged battery to the main card and turn on the laptop the bone bare; See the HP logo on the screen for a success to reinvest

    -use of money from high-quality thermal compound (for example, Arctic Silver 5) and coat the surfaces of cooling of the CPU and Radeon chip, as well as the corresponding surfaces on the heatsink of heat and the puck in copper, with one layer, thin and uniform; Wipe all spilled; Place the wedge of copper on the graphics chip and carefully assemble the heat sink; don't forget to plug the fan on the main card

    -Finally, back up the phone by following the steps for disassembly in reverse order; do not mix the screws, like using a long screw where it was not may cause a short circuit or cracks in the main map

    -Use of SpeedFan to monitor the performance of you cooling system in the processor; periodically blow out or spend vacuuming of dust between the cooling fins.

    Good luck to lovers!

  • Pavilion dv9810us: computer HP Pavilion dv9810us laptop will not start

    Reminder: a few days before my laptop does not start up, all using the laptop, the screen has become, I guess the technical term would be 'nuts': horizontal lines an inch in height, made of blocks quickly black and white, all changing left and right, and I could see my spreadsheet in the background.  Could not do something about the problem, so I rebooted and it worked fine.

    Then a few days after that, I tried to turn on my laptop, and occurred the following:

    (1) blue illuminated switch, control all the keys lit in blue (volume, skip, repeat, DVD...), fan began and heard the dvd begins to check for a disc.  This lasted for about 2 seconds.

    (2) off laptop (all lights extinguished, no fan noise or a dvd).  This lasted for about 5 seconds.

    then it would just repeat steps 1 & 2 times: start 2 seconds, stop for 5...

    Steps that my work to correct (without success):

    -J' I disconnected and removed the battery.  Let stand a few minutes.  After I have inserted the battery and reconnected, I pressed the power button.  Same 2 steps as shown above (lit for 2 seconds, turn off for 5, repetition) happened.

    -saw a post on the site of HP on a hard reset.  so I unplugged, removed the battery, which is held from the Start button / stop for 20 seconds.  then replugged (without inserting the battery) and power on.  Same 2 steps above happened (lit for 2 seconds, off for 5, repetition...).

    -J' I reset memory as someone on the HP Board has suggested:

    (1) remove the two memory, then replace both in the correct order.

    Result: same problem (2 seconds 5 seconds, repeat...)

    (2) remove the top memory (1 GB), bottom (2 GB) by leaving in place.

    Result: same problem...

    (3) place 1 GB memory on the bottom, nothing over the top.

    Result: same problem...

    From the above information, no idea what the source of the problem is, and how to fix it?

    It would be to remove the motherboard and "re-invest" the video chip with a heat gun. Configure you with a shield from sheet aluminium with the chip pushing through like dessert in a TV dinner. There are many tutorials online, but like anything else go you better the more you do and the first time is risky. Repair shops using a better process called "reballing", which is basically rebuild the chip and requires hardware, that no individual can afford to have.

    Access to the old hard drive is easy. Physically, remove it from the machine.

    See 02:20 in. You must remove the plastic adapter for in standard SATA ports. You can leave it in the basket after removing the plastic adapter bar. Then use a usb to SATA adapter and you can plug the old drive on USB ports on your computer again, and it will appear as a USB key where you can copy and paste things out of it to the new PC.

    Hi @Dontworry,

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

    I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question about your HP Pavilion dv6500 CTO Entertainment Notebook and questions with press < F1 > to < F2 > for the installer to start. I recommend to restore the default BIOS settings. You could restore the BIOS withthis document by selecting the reload the default BIOS settings. In this way, it will look at the hardware installed on your laptop.

    If it's not a help to any first start Notepad hold b and Windows key. Just keep holding it. Once your nothing that happens, restart the laptop. This should restore the last configuration of the BIOS.

    Please let me know how it goes.

    Thank you.

  • HP Pavilion dv5t-1000 will not start

    Hello

    Our battery died and now the computer initializes more. I did a hard reset, then unplugged, removed the battery, then hold the power button for 15 seconds, then plugged in and then tried to start.

    When we try to start, we get the HP screen and it says esc at startup. When we reached the esc, the computer is blocked.

    When we try to start and enter the EFI interface by pressing esc, it will beep with a solid 16 times pulsating rhythm. He says then esc... pause start-up, and then the computer is blocked.

    When we try to start and enter the EFI interface by pressing F10, the computer emits the same and then says the F10 bios menu, and then the computer is blocked.

    I fear that there may be a problem with the bios or other hardware failure. I would appreciate any advice.

    Thank you

    Paul

    Hi Paul,.

    Could you try removing the hard drive and you try to start?  Obviously it does not boot to the OS, but it can go beyond this splash screen.  If this is the case, try reinstalling the hard drive and see if it works now.

    If it freezes again without the installed hard drive, it may be a corrupted BIOS, and I see that you have tried to solve that with no luck.  I tried to click that link you, but he was dead.  You did to be sure it was the correct version of the BIOS?  If you have Vista or Windows 7, I think it would be the right version of the BIOS:
