Non-responsive Pavilion All In One Desktop

[dcw2482]

During the night my HP Pavillion All-In-One was making a whirling noise, then the dings as if it was updating.  Since then, I have not been able to turn it on.  If you push the start button it flashes for about a second and goes out, non responsive?  I have McAfee Security and it runs daily.  What could be the matter?

Hi @dcw2482,

Thanks for reaching out! This is a great location to get resolutions and interact with experts from the community. I understand that the computer does not power on. It will be a delight to assist you. 🙂

You’ve done an excellent job on diagnosing the issue from your end. Kudos to you on that score. It is always a privilege to work with tech-savvy and technically competent customers like you. We greatly value your relationship with HP.

It looks like a hardware issue with the computer. We need to isolate the issue correctly.

Please do a hard reset first. Link for hard reset: http://support.hp.com/za-en/document/c01463028

Then try to power up your computer. If it works then the issue should get resolved. Otherwise please try a different wall outlet, bypassing power strips. If possible please try a different power cord also. If nothing works, then the computer needs to be serviced. I request you to contact HP phone support by visiting this link: http://hp.com/contacthp

Hope this helps. Let me know how this goes. I hope the issue gets resolved without hassles and the unit works great.
