Power button not working

[Ty16]

My cousin went to the navel academy and he said I can have this laptop and he said the power button doesn't work. I checked to see if it still has a manufacturer's warranty and it doesn't. How much would it cost to fix or is it easy to fix my self.

The answer to the second question is NO -- as it would require not only completely disassembling the laptop (a risky procedure!) but also removing and resoldering a component to the motherboard -- again, a risky process.

Sorry, but this is just a self-help forum staffed mostly by volunteers and we are neither able, nor permitted, to provide any repair estimates or equipment prices.

For this information, you would need to contact an HP Repair or Service Center.

If you live in the U.S., here is a link to the HP Service Repair Centers:
