Hey guys, I know there's a bunch of 'laptop won't turn on' threads around but none seem to apply to my laptop.
Basically, I have an HP dv2915nr Pavilion and the case for the screen finally broke from its hinges (the left side first then the right two months after). Not wanting to try to get replacement parts for it - it's a three year old computer I got at a clearance sale, I decided to just get rid of the screen and use a spare monitor I have.
I took off the adapter and battery, carefully removed the screen, microphones, and webcam and left it there for about five hours.
When I came back, I attached the monitor, plugged in the adapter and battery, and the light on the power jack turned on, but when I tried turning on the computer it wouldn't do anything. No noise from the fan, nothing. The little light that indicates the computer is powered wasn't on either - just the one on the jack.
I don't really know what to do now. I assume it's something to do with the power supply? Thanks in advance for your replies and Happy Holidays!
