HP Recommended
Operating System: Microsoft Windows Vista

I have a old HP Pavilion DV5, the battery has died long ago. When the power button is pressed, all the lights on the keyboard turn on but the WiFi symbol is orange. Also, the lights that show power ,charging and hard drive, only the power and charging one turn on, the hard drive light remains off. I have tried booting into bios, but nothing happens, I tried taking the ram out and putting it back in, I put the hard drive into a different computer and windows 11 repaired it and windows vista files seem to all be there and not corrupted. I tried everything possible to get in to or reset the bios and tried different hard drives but it still does not work. I also tried to connect it to a TV using HDMI but nothing happened. I think it just might be broken. Appreciate some help.
