pavillion DV
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi Forum,

 

I have a HP notebook pavillion DV ( year 2011).

 

It is not starting up. it is just showing me a black blank screen

 

press the power button, the wireless led showing red, power led on. the on-board mouse pad back led on. HDD led flashed iniitally and off.

 

I swapped the ram, still the same problem. That makes me think the notebook has a hardware fault.

 

any ideas ?

 

Many thanks in advance.

 

Michael

It may be a hardware issue.
