If I were you, I will just Remove my hard disk, insert it in another system, Run the 64bit O.S on it. After completion, return the hard disk to its original system and see what happens.... #Without_Stress
forgive me for asking...how is that ever possible?i equally think you aint aware the only way u can make a transition from a 32bit to 64bit is by only a clean format...so if "mr too know" doesnt mind a wipe out..he cld go ahead but he wishes to rescue his files then he had thread carefully on being advised...its more technical

Hello guys, please I need your assistance...
I've got an HP Pavilion DV6000 laptop running on Windows 10...

I had reason to travel without it for a month plus and the battery was low [20%]

Returned last week, charged it and tried putting it on but it's not booting...
When I press the power key, the light indicators come on and after 3 secs, the laptop trips off...

Sometimes the screen lights up and show a kinda white/grey background and then trips off immediately...

What could be the problem and how can I solve it.!

The laptop is hp 8510p runs on Windows 7 32bit and I intend installing windows 7 64bit
you intend or "you intended"...dont be misleading.....be truthful,u obviously ran the 64bit upgrade on the existing 32bit...i have decided here that i wont be part of this kinda of "diy" problems again..let the pros do their work..i would never simulate being a surgeon to make a heart transplant just cuz i saw the tutorial video on youtube or google cuz when complications like what u have happens..its nairaland u run to and expect miracles...and in the end "u say thank u" or send "200 naira credit"..

You know, it wont be a bad idea to just advice him not to do diy and recommend a pro to do it for him.
DIY is not even a bad thing and people learn from these things. DIY should be encouraged so people dont pay over the odds for so many simple issues.

I know you are a pro having solved a lot of issues here without saying how which defeats the purpose of this thread. I purposely didnt want to say anything but this your response seems like someone who wants something in return for fixing issues. you have carved this niche for yourself here and i nor dey knock down your hustle. but no come here dey form god ontop PC issues because someone tried something that didnt work out.

people here want help if possible for free and there is a lot of volunteers that have helped over a long period of time. Help with issues or advice they see a pro if you think it cant be fixed with text words. shikena

Bro I'm sorry this feedback is coming late, network is poor over here....
I have done the above, now the system boots up but the screen doesn't...
The fans come on, the capslock button indicator is responding,the WiFi button is also responding but the screen just shows white... No sign of Life at all...
If I leave it on for a minute, the screen divides into two equal parts, a white part and a grey part...
And the system is acting normal, it goes into sleep after 5mins as normal but the screen is the issue now....

What do you suggest I do? I sincerely pray it ain't a damaged screen...!

Alaye mi gbengulo. . I know you are a good person and we can all get on just fine. In as much as you know alot, that response came out the wrong way which is sent that post.

E just pay to be humble and not appear somehow in-front of people who need help on here. atleast if you advice a DIY person and let him know there might be consequences of his action, then you are not at fault if anything happens when his PC spoils or whatnot. na just my shekele advice sha and thats the point i was trying to drive at with my post.

Apologies for the accusations. . .just had a robin hood moment grin
Go on soun.

now that you mentioned disaster recovery? can you recover data from an external hard drive that fell from a table and wont show up as a drive on PC's anymore?

Good morning peeps,

Please my laptop hp 620 is not coming on anymore. But when I put in the charger it blinks a white light then go off.

I removed the battery and still does not come on. Though it was already telling me advise to replace battery before these happened.

its quite a tricky and technical one....
a fresh windows 10 installation masks your drivers as ok..NOT TRUE
what it infact does is simulate a proper installation based on the current archietecture and instruction pre-defined by the installation(thtas why your biometric devices dint come up)
solution:you have to manually install your drivers either using a driver pack or downloading then from the drivers download page of ur hp model from hp.com
here are possible problems u are surely to encounter:
1..a windows 10 os driver page may not be available for your model yet.
solution:download the required download for the os yor laptop is intended for(windows 7 or cool..check under your laptop for the license key;above it,u will see either windows 7 ......or windows 8...
whatever the case,just down load drivers for a high version of 7 or 8(ie pro or ultimate)
2..it may not run correctly on windows 10...
solution:before you run the downloaded driver,right click on it and run it in compactibility mode for either windows 7 or 8
3..you may eventually run into dotnet 3.5 framework installation missing...
solution:cant be described properly here cuz its been reprogrammed in an elevated stance of command prompt..
you can call me on 08061679732 when u hit a brickwall

no apologies!goodluck in ur adventure....ur earlier post dint suggest u were having fun....its simple,your are not qualified for the diy task u have chosen...its different if ur system suddenly went bad or stopped working,then its easy to help than to be "intentionally" causing trouble then looking for some pros to clean up ur mess with ur "misleading info".
advice:u need enough skills and even more experience,knowledge to make somethings happen..even somethings are not described in tutorials cuz 2 incidents may be similar but never the same...at that point-only your INSTINCT sets the difference!

my question is a little "somehow" but I've been following this thread for some time now and I've noticed that most people post complaints mainly on HP system.....is there a reason for this or its just individual handling that matters 'cos I'm quite confused about buying another HP laptop after my previous one packed up-HP ..
