HP Recommended
Product: Pavilion g6 - 1180sa
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit)

My old Pavilion G6 does not start.

I have this computer for many years and used to work beautifully.

One day in the morning it simply decided to not start.

Some facts I could observe and things tried already

 

The light on the power botton and the Power light on the side of the laṕtop, (near the SD memory slot) does flash slowly, around one blink every 5 sec, the caps lock also blinks twice when I try to start it, 

 

If I push and  hold the power botton for +- 6 seconds the light stops flashing.

 

When connect the power lead it does light the orange light as usual

 

Tried to leave it couple of days without battery on an attempt to clear the bios

Tried to leave it on charge for more than a day before try to turn it on

Also tried to power the laptop with the power cord only, without battery.

Tierd some combinations key like, ctrl+alt+del.... alt+f4... and some others also hold the power botton for many seconds

One more thing is that I replaced the laptop battery 2 months before it happened, now even when I try with the old baterry that I still have, does not do anything as well
