HP Elitebook 8570w: My note book wont boot

Wed, 11 Mar 2020 03:18:36 -0700

The model of my hp note book is actually HP 8570p with intel i7 3740qm and AMD HD 7570m

I was having this problem a few days ago, when i was using my notebook, suddenly it freezes and i was forced do to a hard reset

When i tried to turn it back on the fan is spinning and the monitor is black and when i tried to plug in my keyboard, the keyboard light wont turn on

When i was looking for the solution I thought it was because of the cmos battery, because coincidentally for a few week my notebook time was often off every time i turn on the computer after shuting it down

But when i replaced the battery, nothing changed

Does that mean i have motherboard problem?

Is it possible my new battery is dead?

Extra bits:

1.no beep, and the capslock does not blink

When i remove the ram capslock blink 3 time, looking at the hp suport page it mean ram is missing (atleast my notebook recognized that)The led indicator on the sides turn on, charging indicator is normal, when i turn on the notebook, the power indicator is white, and the wifi indicator starts as orange then turn white

I really need to get out of this situation as its a shared laptop

HP Elitebook 6930p: Screen blackout when moving cover

Wed, 09 Dec 2015 17:42:30 -0700

When I move the Screen up and down the brightness goes down for no reason, even with small move the brightness goes down, and sometimes it goes off it becomes all black like it's closed even when it's open.

I think it's a hardware problem i'm sure of that, cause the problem happens when I move the cover with just a slight move, it goes black and I had to move it again back and forth to get its brightness back

HP EliteBook 840 G3: Power button not working after BIOS chip replacement

Tue, 07 Feb 2023 12:40:18 -0700

I have just replaced my BIOS chip in 840 G3 (dreaded forgotten BIOS password). After mounting the new chip, I reassembled as usual, but there is absolutely no response from the power button. I replaced chip the usual way with a 400C heat gun and I believe it went well.

Any ideas appreciated

Thanks

HP Elitebook 6930p: Power lead not charging battery or running laptop

Fri, 04 Sep 2015 04:28:33 -0700

I have just replaced the battery but now note that it isn't charging when the power lead is plugged in and it looks like the machine is running off battery. A message has popped up to say that my lead is too small, it is 65w. I have found that there are some 90w leads out there, do I need the larger one? Why has the smaller one been ok for the last 12 months and is this why my last battery died on me?
