Use a flashlight, look in the DC socket on the Notebook where the power cord plugs in, is there any damage to the center pin or plastic around it?

Nothing is bent.  I have turned had it on and it will be in a frozen state.  Twice.  About 4 times I have I have had to take the battery out and put it back in after several seconds .

Nothing looks bent.---------

Also I don't know where the volumne control went.  I was using an outside mouse.  Everytime I do something happens.  so I have stopped.

I need a book to help understand where thing are and how to use them and what I can do with the laptop.  I hate getting

upset.  I like to know how to do it whatever that may be.

My HP Laptop will not turn on, does anyone know the shortcut buttons you need to push at the same time to override this problem????

Hello diannep.

Try performing a hard reset.  Here are the steps.

1. Remove the battery and AC adapter.
2. Press and hold the power button for 10-15 seconds three times.
3. Replace the battery and AC power.
4. Attempt to boot the notebook.

Let me know the result and have a wonderful day!

Hi Zac, yeah I have already tried this...so things are not looking good at the moment.... I am trying to find my receipt to check the purchase date, so hopefully I still have a warranty :))) Bye
