HP PAVILION QUESTION.

[jamessteve]

My HP Pavilion a1025c computer wont turn on.

The power supply green led isnt lit.

I think the power supply is done.

Is there a way to verify this?

Thank you.

@jamessteve,

Welcome to our HP user Forum!

Yes, there is a way to verify this.  This question came up recently in this Forum, and this was my response: Re: Test power supply L08262-003 - HP Support Community - 8515296.

Hope this was helpful.

 Thank you.

Is the fact that the green led is not lit an indicator of power supply failure?

Ill try the jumper wire tomorrow.

@jamessteve,

Yes, it definitely could be since a broken LED seems less likely.

Now, -I'm hesitating to mention this, because this is a long shot, but there is this one 'hairdryer trick' that just may work (temporarily at least) : Fix a Dead Power Supply Using a Hair Dryer (Reflow Trick) - Instructables.

I'm not sure why this would work, but a number of folks have reported that this method worked for them.

Good luck!

Of course, if it is the case that your power supply has indeed flatlined, chances are you should be able to find a decent replacement HP power supply inexpensively through eBay.

Hope this was helpful.
