Hey, 1 day ago, i've put my laptop in Hibernate mode.
Then the power went down in my city. When i arrived home, and tried to start my laptop again, it didn't start.
I've pused hard on that button, nothing happened.
I've tried to pull out the battery, and start it without it, nothing happened. I've let it to charge all day0, when i tried this night to start it, nothing happened.
Do you have any ideeas what is wrong with it ?
Sound like you cooked it. Power went down, as in cut out?

And what is funny, i have a led when i plug the charge, it's ON. That led is working, like is working.
But, when i press the start button, nothing happens. Weird shit
LED lights come on when you plug in the charger?
Hold the power button for 30+ seconds.

HP Pavilion dv5

I assume it was plugged in while it was on sleep. The rapid voltage drop when power out began and a short power spike over averige voltage when power came back might have killed something. But if the powerout was just 10 mins the battery should`ve covered the time. Also afair hibernate is sleep + dump RAM content to disk. Do you get any sign of life other that 'plugged' standby which alone dosent tell anything as its on always then the cable is plugged and PSU supplying 5v standby to motherboard. The power spike might have cooked something from motherboard or other critical components. Also if power outs are common, i auggest buying atleast surge protector. Computers are fragile when comes to voltages.
When you boot it,do you hear hard drive spin up or fans?

Nope
Sounds like a dead processsor or motherboard. Knowing how laptops have the fana wired up. I think you just have now expensive paperweight
When you press the power button, does caps lock / num lock LED light up at all? According to Google, this is a pretty common problem, and if it does light up, it might actually be a fault code

touch the ''quick play'' next to the 'mute' and everything was fine.
Other than that, you could try removing CMOS battery (accessible under one of the panels on the base of the laptop) & physical battery and hold down power button for about 60 seconds before putting them back in and trying again. Could try re-seating RAM but other than that, there isn't much you can do.

I'll try to do this, thanks for help, if this won't work, i will send it to service :) but i need to wait till next year :dislike:
Topic locked.
The guys from service told me that my laptop motherboard is broken, and I need to change it but it's useless. I will buy a better laptop soon :like:
