My HP DV6810 laptop won't turn on anymore, please help! :(

Hello all, I have an HP Pavilion dv6700 or DV6810 as HP refers it to and
it won't turn on anymore! My system has 3 gigs of RAM and is an AMD
Turion 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-60 2.00 GHz.

I was originally using Windows Vista 32-bit Home Premium System Pack 1
(what it came with the system) and I had upgraded to Vista 64-bit. I am
not sure if my problem was caused by my upgrade of Vista or my system
being too warm (as I have been using it a lot and it has been getting
hot and making loud noises); but after I upgraded to the 64-bit Windows
Vista Home Premium System Pack 2, I was then going to the upgrade
directly from the Windows to the Vista Ultimate which I had purchased
earlier (and not got around to update any of it with my schedule)....and
after I did this, it asked for me to restart my computer and as soon as
I did....poof! It shut off and won't turn back on...

I read up on this online....I took out the battery and adapter
completely and clicked on the "on" or power button for 30 seconds then
put the battery back in and plugged it to no avail....I then took out
the RAM cards (a 2-gig one and a 1-gig one) to try to reset it....still
nothing. I called HP tech support and they told me to reset the
harddrive and how to do it and still...same thing!

Everything is completely blank and my computer and nothing on it turns
on....does anyone know what it can be? I have an identical computer I am
using but I need that one to work and this is driving me crazy....HP
wants me to send it back to them but is there anything I can do to
possibly fix this myself??

Thanks again in advance and I appreciate all of your help regarding
this matter....thanks again and hopefully I can fix this

Send it back to HP unless you are skilled at laptop repair. The "hot and
loud noises" bit makes it sound like you have problems that cannot be fixed
locally.

Hi,

You have experienced a hardware failure that requires a technician, you're
not going to be able to fix this yourself. There is very little an average
user can do to fix a laptop as they require some expertise when it comes to
hardware. The "getting hot and loud noises" part is a farily certain sign
that you were headed for disaster.

You have a dead computer. The over heating and loud noise was a sure sign of an up coming hardware failure.
You will have to have a computer shop, or HP, fix it and it is going to be $$$$$.
But before you ship it to HP, take it to a local technician or repair shop (not a big box store like BestBuy) and have them pull the hard drive and copy all of your persona data to CD's.
When you ship it to HP they may very well reformat the drive and you will loose all your personal data.

thx for the response...luckily a few days before I had backed up my
important data on DVD's so I am okay with that...I was just hoping that
somehow it might have been something I could resolve myself....does
anyone know that if I send it back to hp...do the techs verify the
serial information only with the sticker on the back of the laptop or do
they verify it inside the cpu? thx again..
