HP Pavilion 17E

[rezrunner]

I have an HP Pavilion 17E that will not boot up. I got it from a guy who said it only needs the PowerJack replaced. Well I replaced it and when I push the power button I get nothing. I have checked the board at several locations and get power but no lights or anything else. At first I wondered if maybe the new jack and cable were bad, but I get power through it. I was thinking even if the CPU was bad I would at least get a fan on.

Hi,

Please do try these troubleshooting steps that I suggested to others that may help.
- Start by doing a hard reboot, remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter then press and hold the power button for 20 seconds then try booting it up again.
- If this will not work, do test the AC adapter if it's working properly. Remove the battery and power the laptop with just the AC adapter connected and see if it will boot up or not. do also try a different AC adapter that has the same voltage and see if it will work or not.
- Proceed with reseating the RAM's if trying a different AC adapter will not work, remove them all for couple of seconds then put them back in making sure everything is seated properly.
- If it will still not work, connect an external monitor and see if you'll get any display from it. If there's a display on the external monitor that could mean that the problem is the built in display.
- But if there's still no display on the external monitor that means the problem lies in the motherboard.
