HP Pavilion dv6 not starting up....HELP

Redzonezzz · Jul 16, 2015

So i just did a shut down with a new update that the computer needed for windowws 7. but then when i went to try to turn it back on, it can not. I did try to do a hard reset, still nothing. I also had opened the bottem to see how the inside looked. Im a computer geek so i know the most id didn't do anything wrong there, but im a littl confused why it still not turning on.....i read some other places, and they said it may be a bad MB, but i highly dought it. I just had turned it on and off like 5 mins ago.....nothing seemed wrong when it did either. so now whats your thoughts?

They had a really bad run with the mobos on that series, almost everyone I knew that had a dv6 had to get their mobo replaced or replaced it just to avoid the risk.

It could have failed at any time while it was still running, and only kept going because it was on. I've seen it happen with older hardware, after turning it off and back on, more parts have failed.

Saberus :

but ive had the original computer and parts since i bought it brand new in 2012....why would it just go out now of all times? It has alwasy worked fine every day the same.....

Parts can fail at any time, it's not like they have a timer. Three to five years is considered an average life-cycle.

It not power on at all? or not getting into windows?

nothing at all....i have the AC pluged in and the little light on the side lights up as it always has, but still nothing helps turnig it on....

if it is the MB, is there anyway to "fix" it? replace MB, or would it just better to get a new laptop? The model is dv6t-3000 if that has any baring....

You might be able to get a refurb mobo cheap, just do the research and make sure it's the revised board that isn't prone to issues. IMO, to repair or upgrade really depends on what you can afford and what you use it for.
