Pavilion dv6 does not start.

I realize how close to, it is impossible to help someone fix a computer on the Internet, but I thought I should give it a shot.

When I start the computer to the top, volume, power, wifi, the trackpad lights and numlock LEDs and fan turns on, then only the capslock light flashes. Nothing else happens. The screen remains empty and therefore does not allow me to get into the BIOS. No more noises not coming from the laptop. I am unable to do anything to change the lights on the computer. Pressing caps, numlock, winlock or the trackpad button do nothing.

I don't know what caused the problem. The computer worked well the night before and the next morning, when I tried to turn it on, it happened. I think that the symptoms I have outlined point to a hard drive problem, and my warranty has expired. So before I crack this thing open and start playing with it, someone has it any suggestions?

Hello

As you're laptop is out of warranty, the best advice I can give would be to take it to a local computer repair shop and get an estimate (and to confirm the diagnosis) for the cost of repairs.  At cost less this way you can weigh-up this repair against the cost of a new laptop and then a decision.

Kind regards

  • 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,

    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:

    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 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.

  • 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 dv6 Notebook PC: Wireless Device on HP Pavilion Dv6 does not!

    Hello! I'll start with my mobile information system (and please excuse my spelling and language because I am very frustrated at the moment and typing this on a cell phone)

    It's a HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC with product number - B3K21PA #ABG. Serial number is 2CE2201C96. I have a Broadcom 4313GN 1 x 1 adapter Wi - Fi 802.11b/g/n according to my device manager. I recently chanhed my ISP and the wireless router, they provided is the Linksys E1200 model.

    Now, on the problem - after the use of an extended internet (Skype call or internet games) my laptop just stops giving me access to the internet. And I say it like that because the internet connection icon shows that I have access to the network and internet connection, but none of my software or browsers are able to connect to the internet. This is the first time, she does. I tried updating the driver (both by checking the driver updates and downloading the drivers manually). I also tried system restore and everything I could think off trying to do a factory reset on the whole thing. And I should mention also - although this problem has happened several times now since I changed ISP (and Yes, I called them on this subject too), this currently seems to be permanent, because it has been hours and it still does not.

    Any advice on what may be the problem or that the methods to try to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. I agree to be only moderately enough when it comes to operating a computer that I am not tech savvy kind, but have been using computers for a while now. For now, my current solution is a fall from my window on the 16th floor and see if that fixes anything. I'm not in my own country and the laptop is old a few years for technical support is hard to find.

    I might be sounding a little passive aggressuve and I apologize for that (I have, however, do not deny these circumstances).

    Thank you for reading through my wall of text of nonsense and condescend to help a poor fellow in his time of need.

    Yours sincerely.

  • Dual-Boot Pavilion dv6 does not work

    Hello

    I bought a Pavilion dv6 with Windows 7 pre-installed. Now I want to dual-boot with Linux (Fedora).

    (1) this laptop has a 500 GB hard drive. So, using diskmgmt.msc, I shrunk the size of the primary partition by about 100 GB. Now, I have that much free space.

    (2) figured out the magic handshake to get the BIOS to run (the F10 hold to power up).

    (3) connected the DVD of the Fedora Installer. He settled in saying that there is not enough space. Tried several options for installation in 'free space' and 'replace existing Linux installation. Same question. Note that I have not yet tried Ubuntu.

    (4) booted back to Windows 7, looked again diskmgmt.msc. I noticed that I have the following partitions. 'System', which is 200 MB (NTFS), player C which is now 351 GB (NTFS), D drive Recovery 13 GB (NTFS), HP tools 103 MB (FAT32). Here are the possible question, all these partitions are listed as "primary". I read somewhere that there may be only 4 primary partitions (it can be extended partitions).

    My questions are:

    (1) is the fact that all primary readers are allocated to preventing me to install a secondary operating system (in this case Linux)?

    (2) if so, what are the disadvantages of the removal of the partition of HP tools (except perhaps less boring tools automatically runs all the time - with no apparent way to stop).

    Thanks for your interest.

    I've heard nothing back for 20 days, which raises the question to know if HP support people even read this, much less provide support on this forum. In any case, I managed to run dual-boot on mine. I hope this helps someone out there doing similar things. Here are the steps that I had to do (and some I do not have):

    1. Created the HP recovery discs... Well I tried to anyway. This process is configured to do one time only. Unfortunately burning failed on the first (I put by mistake a double layer DVD-R in the drive, but the drive itself is supported) and burning failed, but the process seems to still consider that he "get". Bottom line, if I ever corrupted hard drive, I'm out of luck (unless a HP support person has other suggestions).
    2. Bought a 1 TB external drive which has an ESATA interface with intention to save the different partitions of Windows.
    3. I bought Nero 9, which is supposed to make backups. However, he seems to have a bug where it said that I could not make a backup disk of an account that does not have administrator rights. The account I was using has Admin rights, so I guess that the program cannot handle permissions Windows 7 style yet.
    4. Defragmented the big drive (351 GB) C.
    5. Using diskmgmt.msc, used the "shrink" option to reduce its size to 351 GB GB 251, who did not assigned 100 GB on the disk.
    6. Using diskmgmt.msc, assigned a drive letter to the partition of HP tools (see the list of partitions in the previous post).
    7. Using Windows Explorer, tools HP Score Watch now upward because he received a drive letter (it was not visible before). I copied the contents of HP tools in a folder on the C drive, just in case I needed to get it back. It's only a few MBs.
    8. Once again using diskmgmt.msc, deleted the partition of HP tools. This frees up a single primary partition on the disk.
    9. Rebooted the laptop from the Fedora 12 installation disc. Now grub / gparted is happy because he is free to use partition.
    10. Chose to install grub on the MBR, definition of Win 7 as the default bootloader on the player option.
    11. Completed the full installation of Fedora.
  • 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.

  • Card reader HP Pavilion dv6 does not detect some SDHC cards

    Hp Pavilion dv6-6104so laptop

    Windows 7-64 bit

    The laptop card reader does not detect some of our SDHC cards. We have updated the driver to the latest version, Realtek PCIE 6.1.7601.90 and BIOS, but it does not yet recognize some of our cards.

    We have six three SanDisk SDHC cards (4, 32 and 32 GB), two Kingston (8 and 8 GB) and an integral (4 GB). The card reader recognizes four of them (4 to 32 GB SanDisk cards and one of the two cards Kingston). What is strange and you may have already noticed is that the card reader recognizes only one of two cards with the same brand and quality!

    On the two cards that don't recognize in our specifications, they work properly in their corresponding cameras and are detected without problem by another reader of cards to laptop of HP Pavilion dv6-3138so, as well as by two netbooks from our two different brands.

    When we connect the camera (a Canon and Sony, both point) to the computer via a cable USB 2.0, the laptop detects the cameras and through them, we can access the cards.

    We bought the laptop less than two weeks in Helsinki, Finland.

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Hey everybody,

    Use of a high capacity card in a standard card reader location causes this problem. Im going to guess that the cards you ar having problems with are not standard SD cards and SDHC cards. As Naoto said, using a camera as a card reader you workaround this. You can also look in the adapters of SDHC card reader. Here is a good article on SDHC cards: http://goo.gl/lj5Fq

  • Laptop HP Pavilion 2320DX g4: computer hp laptop pavilion g4 does not start successfully after update and return to windows 8.1

    Hi, I have recently updated my laptop to Windows 10. He had so many problems and I didn't like it at all, so I just returned my laptop to Windows 8.1.  Since then, my laptop does not correctly every time, and the fan immediately starts to work as well. I can start my pc and connect to my home screen each time.  If the tile is moving or light up when I move my cursor, then I know that I can use my laptop for a little while. It can freeze after getting out a good program. Other times when I start my laptop, everything is dead except for logging on my screen. My Windows key on the keyboard does not work most of the time.  If the screen does not respond the first time I turn, as described above, I can't absolutely nothing on my pc. I can't access the search bar by moving the cursor to top right, I can't open the tiles, I can't spend in desktop mode, etc.  Front I upgraded to Windows 10 and downgraded to 8.1 all worked perfectly, because I've updated from 8.0 to 8.1 Windows almost 2 years.  I have a defective battery. in fact I can only use my laptop if it is plugged. My fan is constantly going, but I don't know if it's my loss of battery or what's wrong with my pc now.  I have described my problem in the Microsoft community forum but have had little response that was not helpful. I was told to go to the command prompt and put in DISM: scan now (which also contained letters more than that, but I do not remember all). I followed the instructions and for 2 days, my pc seems to do better. Then he returned to this problem again. I hope you can help me.  If you have additional questions, post here or please email me at [removed personal information]. Thank you!

    @DWESTDEWITT,

    Hello and thanks for the display on the HP support forum.  What you can do at this point that there are several updates released by microsoft and hardware vendors is running the Windows Update Troubleshooter.

    If this fails to solve the problem.  The only option will be to restore the operating system to the previous, until HP gets the drivers so that they can release them on the support page for your laptop for Windows 10.

    Thanks again for posting and have a great day.
