Cannot start my Pavilion-All-In-One PC
05-14-2019 08:08 PM

Cannot start my computer. Press the start button but no response. No noise and no light on the start button, but the drive light at the back is on when the power cord is connected to the outlet. Unplugged the cord and connected again but still not working. Cannot open the drive too. Any suggestions? Thanks

Thank you for posting your query on HP Community,
Are you using the original power cord that came with the PC? Have you tried to connect to a different wall outlet?
Have you tried to check with an alternate power cord.
Let's try these steps here: Perform a Hard reset on All in one PC
-
Turn off the computer. Disconnect the power cord from the back of the computer.
-
With the power off and the power cord disconnected, press the Power button on the computer for 5 seconds. The power light indicator, which is on the power button or near it, might turn on briefly but then it goes off.
-
Reconnect the power cord and turn on the computer.
-
If the computer starts, troubleshooting is complete.
-
If the computer still does not start and exhibits the same problem, continue troubleshooting.
-
Alternatively, You may follow the steps suggested in this support document for - HP PCs - Computer Does Not Start (Windows 10, 😎

I used original power cord and tried diff wall outlet. I tried hard reset but no light showing on the power light indicator. Nothing happened after the hard reset. I don’t have another power cord that I can test. I purchased this computer just slightly over a year. So no longer under warranty 😞
