Laptop Won't Power Up
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. |

Laptop Won't Power Up
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.

Bummer. I was afraid it would be something like that, but I was hoping
otherwise. Would probably cost more than the laptop is worth. Thank you very much for your help. "Bruce Chambers" wrote in message ... Kathy So wrote: My laptop (HP Pavilion dv1000) won't power up.

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

Thank you. I checked that website and was advised, luckily, the bar code on
my particular battery was not one of the batteries affected. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. "Yousuf Khan" wrote in message ...
