Well, i have the same problem with mine HP Pavilion dv6-6c11ea. The laptop was working fine, i closed it , then in the morning when i opened the laptop, i had only the power button, wifi button on, the vent was working and i could feel the HDD spining. Done the hard reset several times. Support told me to reinstall the Windows. After it was done the laptop loaded til login, but the darn keyboard did not respond, so did the mouse. After hard reseting again the laptop wont even turn on. In monday i`m brinving it to support and getting  god **bleep** refund.

HI dvizier:

Thank you for your post. I am glad to help any way I can!

I understand that you are getting a black screen on boot up.  I am providing you a link to "Troubleshooting Black Screen Displays with No Error Messages During Startup or Boot"   click here. Here is a link to "Performing an Hp System Recovery Windows 7"  click here.  I hope this is helps.

Hello, Thanks for the reply of my message, I have use an external monitor to test it as well as memory module test still the screen didn't come up on start up, i even did a hard reset still the problem persist

I guess the video chip is bad and there is no any hp rep. close in my area except i have to travel down to our nation formal capital which is Lagos.

Hi dviier:

Thank you for your reply.

I regret that the previous suggestions did not help. I am sending you a link to the UEFI diagnostic    click here.  When you connected the external monitor did it work or not.  If the external monitor worked the video chip is working. When you start up, do you see any flashing lights or hear any beeps"Computer Does Not Start and Emits an LED or Beep Code"   click here.  I hope these help.

Okay so I have a Pavilion DV6 on Windows 7. I haven't used it in a while, there was something wrong with the hard drive a while back. But a reformat seemed to fix it. I couldn't use the internal reformat system as that was corrupted/damaged. I have a Windows 7 disc so I used that. Got my laptop working and started downloading drivers. Everything was fine until I went to turn it off. It had 84 updates, which I allowed. It got to 75 before the computer screen went black. The lights were still on, the fan was still running. That all turned off and the power button light started blinking, signaling that it was in sleep mode. Pressing the power button (or any other button) does not wake it up. I have to unplug and take the battery out. Starting it takes me to the windows start up screen and then it goes black and goes to sleep!

Hi  chelsay:;

Thank you for your post. Please see the solutions provided in my previous posts. I would suggest running the UEFI diagnostic to test the hardware for a problem, especially the hard drive as you stated, you did have an  issue with it before. If it test fine. then try the other solutions.

Happy Holidays!!
