It's possible that you have a failed AC adapter and the battery doesn't have enough charge to start the laptop. Can you test the laptop with another AC adapter. That would be the first thing to try. Tricia,

I have the same laptop model, and the same symptoms but i cannot use it with an external monitor, and i cant even use my laptop screen as a display my unit wont charge itself either, it will charge with the orange light on, and then turn off straight away. Any more help? Or ideas? This used to be a work laptop, so i went through some tough times, but all of these problems just recently happened, with no cause, i didn't shake it or drop it or anything, so it leads me to wonder what's wrong. p.s. i have triple checked, and everything is fully plugged in.

I have the almost same problem, yet almost! I have a HP Omnibook 6100 and when I plug the AC adapter the battery led is orange(charging), and when I switch power on, the led is switching off. My battery is dead, but it worked before without it since I used it only connected with AC adaptor, at home. Can you give me some hints ? Thanks, Florin Hi everybody!

This leads me to beleive that something may be loose inside?

I bought it new, about 2 years ago. I recently replaced both the battery and power supply (I'm on my third one), both about 1 month ago. The p/s seemed a little light for this machine but it "supposedly" is supposed to work with the unit. Recently (last day or so, some funny things have been happening at startup, including the startup-5 seconds-shutdown with no video screen at all). Now, this morning, that's all I get, though, I got the hp logo once. I have tried starting it with only the p/s, battery to no avail. have reseated the hard drive, and about ready to reseed the memory and see if any of this has an effect. Someone told me that there's been a lot of issues with included wifi internal card, causing this behavior, but would it just all the sudden surface after 2.5 years of ownership? I have an NX9420.

Unfortunately, he knocked it to the ground a few days ago, about a distance of 12 inches. Now when we turn it on the screen is slightly black with a strip of blue at the top and the lights flash and go out…I can hear the fan, but it sounds weak, like it is struggling to power up. After a few days we tried it again and everything booted up fine. It then worked for about 10mins then shutdown but the fan continued to work but humming noise was coming and going (very difficult to explain). When I try to start it up, again I get the black screen with blue stripe. Could the fan be damaged? Causing it to overheat, hence it shutting down? HELP! Thanks in advance for any advice.

When I press the power button, the fan starts, the blue 'wireless turned on' light comes on, followed by the 'charging' lamp (psu plugged in or on battery) then it all shuts down after a second or two, nothing on the screen. I'ts twice tried to start normally with the screen active but then it just cuts dead, but with the cpu fan still running. I had been using it and it all just went off, no shut down or anything, it just went off. I was running on slow cpu mode, and nothing was hot at the back so I know its not a heat related issue. Any ideas what up? Cheers! Clivey :-)) Hi, I have an HP6000 that won’t start.
