hi people i recently got given a hp pavilion dv8000 laptop from someone to fix. the main problem is that the laptop will not turn on, i am starting to wonder if it is as simple as a loose connection. i have tried a few things like a replacement battery and jump starting the mobo and all attempts have failed could you please suggest other possibilities that could work thanks.

Re: hp pavilion dv8000 turn on/off problem
Hello and welcome to PCHelpForum.
Have you tried without the battery and only the power cord charger connected. As it is a laptop it is possible it has over heated and killed the PSU. However I have marked your thread as "Open" to receive some help with your issue. Jelly Bean.
