HP Pavillion dv7 Entertainment
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

After normal use and simply closing my laptop, it will not reboot.  I have had this happen before and was able to reboot by restarting.

 

Following various forum instructions, I've removed the battery and attempted recovery from discs several times.  I've connected the unit to my smart tv, but cannot see my computer screen on the tv monitor.  

 

What's happening now: When I turn on the laptop, the caps/num lock LEDs blink once.  There's power, but the fan seems quieter than usual.  It has been a little loud and running a little warmer recently.  The light at the power cord is white, and the light on the touch pad is on/white.  The wifi light and sound light are both red.

 

Any advice?

Lisa

Dear @LisaGCarreno

 

Thank you for posting in the HP Support forum.

 

Based on your description I can conclude this is hardware problem. Here you can read the official HP article about such issues >> http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01732674

 

It seems the processor is not working properly (not functional) and your PC needs to be serviced.

 

I am afraid you will need to bring your computer (or ship it) to service - HP Authorized service center. If the computer is still under active warranty, you will need to notify HP support first. If you are not sure where such a center is located, please contact HP support for assistance in finding one. Here is more info:
