When you tried that, did you hear any beeps from the computer or any abnormal noises?

I followed the instructions and my laptop started as normal after removing the adapter and the battery.  Great forum and it was really easy to find an answer that worked!  Thank you

Hi. I have the same problem with my dv4 pavilion laptop. However unlike Agustin mine is blinking only once meaning its a CPU problem and I tried to remove the battery and AC adapter and did as above but its still not switching on. Please help

i also have this kind of problem..can i fix this?

[Poshbird8]

It was really easy to fix.   Unplug the pc and remove the battery from it.  Then hold the 'on' buttonn down for 60 seconds ,not less.   Fit the battery back in and start the pc.  It should start up as normal and I have never had the same problem again.  Shame I can't say the same for the keyboard!

Hope this helps.  Good Luck
