| 1470767 | 2020-07-27 08:02:00 | Hi Lads and Ladies, Having a slight issue with a HP dv6 I was given a few weeks back now . Was all working sweet a month ago . Left it sitting for that time period to order a new battery as the original wasnt holding charge . Went to fire it up the other day and nothing . Tried 2 known working AC adaptors Tried both batteries Removed/reseated RAM/ HD/ CMOS battery . Still nothing, no LED indicating power to motherboard . Tested voltage and getting 14v on the DC jack off the motherboard and 19V on the AC adapter . I see this is a common issue with the ol' DV6s . Anyone out there that can suggest anything else before I go and reflow the solder joints? Just seems funny it was working a month ago and now it's a paperweight . If I've missed anything so let me know Cheers !! |

Its not a common issue with DV6's, its a issue with old notebooks in general . This issue can happen to all brands, all models . A reflow isnt a magic fix, you may need to repair the internal power circuitry , or replace the GPU , or may be as simple as a faulty power socket . Or may be stuck in Win10's 'fast start' mode (less likely) The DV6 is old. Its not really worth repairing with this sort of fault. You could buy a working one or similar spec off trademe from $100 upwards . (sometimes less) :) |
