HP Pavilion: No beeps, no post just Black Screen

Sat, 22 Oct 2022 10:03:08 -0700

Hi all,

I have a HP pavilion dv2700 laptop with 3gb of memory and a SATA hard drive. I reinstalled the OS (vista) using the recovery tool from the options. F11 in this case, It all went well, everything installed and I was even inserting user details. I turned my back to it for a couple of minues and then I saw this black screen and the laptop would not react. I turned it off and on and there was no POST and just a plain black screen.

I tried to disassemble it to take dust out before and then I started to reinstall the OS. I probably messed it up right there.

I took everything out, the memory and tried them one-by-one and turned it on, it gave me 4 beeps. (I guess it was just saying there was no RAM) sometimes after putting everything back again it gave me 2 short beeps. Apart from that just the black screen that tells me the screen is good and there is reaction but there is no post , no BIOS... so I cannot go any further.

What can it be??? Please give me some suggestions.

HP ProBook: Charger light blinks when plugged in but won't power on

I have a HP ProBook 6440b that won’t turn on. The charger LED blinks but the laptop will not turn on with or without the battery. I’m sure the battery is completely dead, but I don’t think that would prevent it from powering on. Does anyone know how to fix this?

HP EliteBook 840 G6: Laptop power blinks white and orange, not turning on.

Fri, 25 Jul 2025 23:32:44 -0700

I have a new laptop, worked fine and then it was dropped. And now it no longer turns on. The power button would light up along with the caps lock light then turn off. I plugged in the charger and it shows no life. So i took the battery out and put the power adapter in and now the indicator light blinks white, amber, and then stays amber. Sometimes the keyboard lights will come on and sometimes it will not but the screen will never come on. Might I mention that while putting the battery connector back in, a light on the board would flash white and go away. Same with the power adapter. I'm not sure what to make of it, I contacted HP Support and they were no help.
