Chosen Solution
Hi guys, I got a problem with my laptop and I think it is caused by the power button chord or something but I’m not really sure. It started with my power LED still on even after I shut it down and the next day my laptop can’t turned on but the power LED still on. I tried to remove and re-plug the battery but there’s nothing wrong with ot. Then I looked into the power button flex cable and tried to re-adjust it and the power LED turned out to be blinking on and off as I tried to adjust it. I removed the flex cable and plug it in again but now my laptop is turning on just for a few seconds and then suddenly off. Please do you guys have solution for this problem? Thanks
Hi @Nicholas Alvin. Guess we’ll find out. Start with basics and check what happens. Try a power refresh and let us know what happens or doesn’t happen. Disconnect the charger if connected and then disconnect the battery from the systemboard. You don’t have to remove the battery, just disconnect it. Here’s the maintenance and service guide taken from this support webpage for a HP Pavilion x360-11-k127tu laptop which I’m hoping is your model as I can’t find anything using the model number you posted. Go to p.55 to view the procedure to disconnect the battery. Press and hold the laptop’s Power on button for a full 30 seconds and then release it. This will reset the BIOS in case it was corrupted for whatever reason.Reconnect the battery, reassemble the laptop, reconnect the charger and try turning it on and see what happens. If it turns on then sometimes when the laptop is turned on again after having done the reset, there may be a message saying that the date and time are incorrect. This is normal as the BIOS has been reset. Once you correct the date and time the message won’t appear the next time it is started. Also if you have changed any user definable settings in BIOS to suit your particular operating requirements they will have to be changed again to what you had as they will be reset back to their default setting. Note: It is not good practice to leave the battery connected to the systemboard when working inside a laptop, unless you’re testing using a meter etc. There is always some power somewhere on the board, even if the laptop is turned off. You don’t want to go accidentally touching something when using tools etc that may cause electrical problems if you can avoid it. The power button is not a power isolating button. It is used to signal the intentions of the user i.e. turn on, off etc. Think of the laptop as being in an extremely low power state when off and not that it is disconnected from any power.
