Pavilion G7 dropped and won't turn on

[Noxxelius]

A couple years ago I had dropped my G7 and it hadn't turned on since, and I haven't bothered to try to fix it until now and it's not worth paying to get it repaired and would like to do it myself. Can I get any help?

Hey @Noxxelius,

Welcome to the HP Support Forums!

I understand that you dropped your notebook PC and are looking to repair it. I can help you with that however I am going to need some clarification first. Please let me know the model number of your notebook. I am also going to need to know if the notebook powers on at all, if you hear any noises, or see any lights. If the printer does power on, I'm also going to need to know if you see any error messages. Once I know this I will be better able to assist you.

I cannot perform a hard reset on my laptop won't even turn on. When the charger is plugged in, the charging light won't turn on.

There is a section in the document for when the notebook does not power on.

None of the stuff was working and I had decided to take a break. Later, I took it apart and found the cable connecting the charging port in the laptop had been unplugged. And that was why it wasn't turning on.
