Hi,
Some newbie help please guys.....have a problem with the above mentioned laptop.
Long story is that a couple of days back i put my laptop to sleep and went away for a couple of hours....when i got back the laptop refused to wake up by normal methods. I had to wake it up by removing the adapter and charger and turning it back on. I have used this procedure once before when it did the same and it worked normally, but this time it booted up and after the first hp logo screen gave me a black screen with words 'NO OPERATING SYSTEM FOUND'. Tried restarting couple of times same issue. Tried to boot from bootable windows cd....same thing, It wont let me do a recovery as well.Tried resetting the bios by removing the battery/cmos battery/memory modules and hard drive and then replacing them back in and following procedures but same thing....Went into the bios and tried doing a self hdd test and memory module test. The memory test came back as all good but the hdd test said 'NO IDE DEVICE'. . Figured maybe the hard drive was gone so got a new hard drive. Tried to install a fresh copy of windows but again it won't boot from cd drive and comes up with 'No Operating system found'. Got a external sata hdd case to see if there was something wrong with the new hard drive. No it works fine with another laptop/computer. Checked my own hard drive as well...and surprise that works as well and i can access data and everything. This led me to believe that maybe the issue is with moterboard or Bios needs updating. So i tried to boot windows by choosing the boot by usb option in boot order menu and using my original hard drive as external drive. what it did now was that it would give me a black screen with a white blinking cursor and go no forward no matter what i did. Found out that this happens sometimes when computer cant wake up properly. My laptop doesn't give me the safe mode option so i tried resetting the bios again following the procedure that i did before. This time it won't turn on at all. No lights go on, no noises there is absoultely nothing. Tried different ways nothing. Without the battery/with battery..... even tried starting it with only main adapter and without the ram modules/hard disk/cmos battery and main battery but nothing...can't get it to do anything. The only thing it shows is that the battery is being charged when i put the battery and charger in together.
Laptop specifications:
Product Specifications HP Pavilion dv6525em Entertainment Notebook PC - HP Customer Care (United States - English)
