Question:

Would a defective battery pack cause a laptop not to power on even when plugged in?

I have a dv6000 hp laptop computer with a battery pack that has been recalled. I have had the computer for over 5 years and have never had a problem, but now it will not power on, even when plugged inthe lights come on like it wants to power on, but shuts off right away. Could this be a problem with the defective battery or is it a virus or something else? Help!

Answer:

Unless the battery has physical damage to it then it can cause the computer not to turnbut in this case it sounds like your actual motherboard can be bad.viruses will only affect the computer once it gets past the HP splash screen, but if that HP logo doesn't come up, it sounds like it is a bad motherboardRecommend to take in to a local PC shop to have a look at it.
