Greetings, I've had my HP Pavilion g7 since November 2011 and it's always worked great. I use it just about every day and when I went to turn it on today I noticed something was wrong. I had it plugged in with the power adaptor and when I pressed the power button, the white lights on the power button and on the left side came on like normal, and the orange wifi light came on, but that was it. The screen stayed black. The fan started and you could hear the hard drive doing it's thing, but nothing else happened. I've experienced LCD issues with my Gateway desktop so that was my first thought. I listened for the startup sounds/music but could hear none. I connected an external monitor and still nothing. The caps lock and num lock button lights do not come on when pressed. I tried the reset method of removing the battery and unplugging the power and holding down the power button but that didn't work either. I tried removing and reseating the hard drive and memory module and that didn't work. It won't run with the battery removed/external power only. I'm really at a loss for what to try next. Anyone else have any ideas?
