A cousin gave me her:
Product: HP Pavilion dv2500
p/n: KN996UA#ABA
dv2810us
laptop that has no power at all. I can charge the battery, and that's just about it. When I plug in the charger, I get a small blue light on the charging port and a few seconds later, I also get a small blue light on the left hand side indicating that it is charging.
The problem is that it doesn't turn on at all and there are no other signs of life. If the battery is low, the battery light flashes quickly and that's it. When it's charging, or the battery is full, nothing happens.
I'm not sure as to what it could be as it could be numerous things.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I should look? I have a disassembly manual from HP, so I can easily take apart whatever I need. Thanks.
P.S. This isn't the only problem its had. 1/2 a year ago, she told me that it would boot up, but the screen wouldn't turn on. I "fixed" this by plugging in an external monitor to the VGA port and then using it for about 10 minutes w/ the ext. monitor. I then shut down the laptop and removed the ext. monitor and turned the laptop back on, and the screen finally turned on, weird huh?
