I have a HP Pavilion dv9815nr, when I push the power button the panel lights light-up. The power indicator lights up. The cap and num lock do not light up. The PC will power on for 1-2 seconds then powers down then repets over and over until I pull the plug. I hear the fan run. I have reseated the memory and changed around. I pulled the battery and pushed the power button for up to 60sec with no change. Is it the cpu??

Thanks everyone, 31 views and no help. What is costs? Did I ask the question wrong? You know what, don't bother screw you people!!

No need to be harsh here. Somebody looks, and then they don't know, they move on.

I have seen similar problems before with the HP DV series. If you dare to dismantle it, you may find that a number of your "antenna" wires could be grounding out on parts of the motherboard. Also, I have found the motherboards to fail quite often in these models. I have had requests to change several.

If it is still under warranty I would suggest that you turn it in and have them take a go at it. These models were poorly designed, good performance, just not put together the smartest way.

Sorry, everywhere I turn people always want money, people just don't help like in the old days and it's frustrating. I do what I can for my fellow man without expectation and rarely get the return and it just gets old sometimes. Thank you for answering. I did break it down and I agree that these systems are pretty poorly assembled. I did not find any wires grounding out but I really didn't think of that so I will give that a try. Would a bad processor cause this same action? I do not get beeps or flashing lights just powers on for 1-2 seconds then off for maybe 5 seconds then on again over and over. Thank you for your help.
