Powering on issues

[Papabeartj]

I have a Hp pavilion touchsmart model 17-1215dx. Well first some of my laptop had to reboot itself and when it did some of the keys didn't work. But I worked my way around it. But now it is not charging and completely dead so doesn't turn on. So changed the a.c. power adapter on motherboard, still didn't turn on. So took out bios and reinstalled. So now when power on the led light by the charger port blinks 3 x and doesn't turn on. Help me, please!! I need it to look for a job and school work.

Try the following and see if it will turn on...

1. First make sure the device has been charged.
2. Unplug your charger cord.
3. Remove the battery.
4. Press and hold the "Power" button for 30 seconds.
5. Now plug back in the power/charger cord.
6. Now put the battery back in.

If this doesn't help, then test the power cord to see if it is good. Either try your cord in another device, or try another devices cord in your laptop.

Should that not be the problem, then check the battery to see if it needs replacing.
