Title: hp Pavilion dv4000 - no power
Post by: blainenel on November 14, 2009, 04:52:50 PM

I cannot get my computer to start-up. I have tried replacing the battery and AC Adapter. These are the results:

With old battery & AC Adapter - Lightning icon flashes blue three times but will not power laptop

With new battery & old AC Adapter - Start-up until battery fails; then same result, lightning icon flashes blue three times, no
                                                           start-up

With new battery & new AC Adapter - results as above

With old battery & new AC Adapter - same results

With no battery - old and new AC Adapter - nothing


Is this compter shot or is there a fix or repair to help?

That sounds like  hardware failure. It could be the internal power socket. Does the light flash on the adapter?

Neither adapter has a light, however the adapters do work with compatible equipment for the adapters (camcorder).
