Thanks Mechpilot,

 

Sounds promising,

 

Any idea when this "appropriate team within HP" is going to contact me? Just checked my private inbox and is looks pretty empty.

Yep 

 

A month later no mail from HP about this issue. Quess I just have to use the Pavillion as target drone for shooting or something else since it cannot be use for it's original purpose and HP don't care.

 

 

 

...Still got 25+ year old Toshiba T-1000 "laptop" in my shelf and it is running perfectly!...

I know this is a very old thread, but I ran into this looking at a friends PC.  He has a Pavilion G6 that will not power on, but has an amber light on next to the power plug.  If you remove the batter and run on power, still doesn't come on but light turns white.  After testing the power supply with a volt meter (tested good) I followed the power button ribbon cable and noticed it was disconnected.  Reconnecting the ribbon cable from the power button to the motherboard allowed it to turn back on.  It appears that the zif (sp?) conenctor flips up (release) on its own.  May need to put a small piece of electrical tape on it to keep it down (closed).

 

I hope this helps someone.

Hp pavilion g67 , running Windows 10, yesterday spyware and virus protection both off, tried to turn on and would revert to shutting them both off, tried turning off computer and when turn back on just black screen with hp icon in middle of screen and does nothing, occasionally tells me windows won't update correctly and gives me option to restore, do that and it goes back to black screen with logo.
