Laptop Won't Power Up
in [Hardware]

From: Kathy So on 8 Jun 2010 19:52 My laptop (HP Pavilion dv1000) won't power up. When I hit the power button, all the lights flash briefly, then nothing. I get the same result when using the AC adapter, the battery or both. I have gotten a new AC adapter and same thing. I have tried removing both the adapter and battery, holding the power button down for 30 seconds. The same thing still happens. What should I check next? I'm a laptop newbie. Any help would be appreciated.
From: Kathy So on 8 Jun 2010 20:35 Further details on my post: When the laptop is plugged into power supply, the battery light (indicating battery is fully charged) is on solid . If I hold down the power button, the lights will flash about every three seconds. But, no startup.

Any help would be appreciated. Contact the manufacturer to obtain service; you'll need to have the laptop's internal power supply replaced. -- Bruce Chambers Help us help you: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/555375 They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. ~Benjamin Franklin Many people would rather die than think; in fact, most do. ~Bertrand Russell The philosopher has never killed any priests, whereas the priest has killed a great many philosophers. ~ Denis Diderot

Thank you very much for your help.

I see that there is a product recall on that product for its batteries.
