Re: computer wont turn on

Hi Badangl,

 

Try a hard reset

Remove the battery and unplug the DC power adapter.

Press and hold the power button for more than fifteen seconds and release it..
Plug in the DC power adapter (leave the battery out for now)
Press the power button

 

Post your results here.

Use the HP Support Assistant. Go to theTroubleshoot section and do a Battery check.

 

The battery check will let you know what the current condition of the battery is and recommend replacement if needed.

Re: computer wont turn on

My HP still won't come on.  I took the battery out, unplugged it, and held the power button down for about 20 seconds before I plugged it back in.  When I push the power button, the lights come on and I can hear the DVD running for a few seconds but no fan or anything else.  Then the lights go off and it starts over.  Ugh!!!!!!!!

 

Help!
