Hp pavilion dv4000 will not wake up from hibernation

all that turns off in windows. control panel + power settings
to abort this if stick hyber.
push power button for 10 full seconds and magic intel reset fixes this,
if stuck that means drivers in the PC are wrong for sure.
no OS told here,windows what?

go there and get your correct drivers there.

Of the two LEDs at the left front of the notebook, if the left-most one is blinking, then the notebook is in standby. If the left-most one is off and the one to the right of it is blinking, then the notebook is in a low battery condition and quite likely the notebook had initiated hibernation. If you had the AC adapter plugged-in for some time and the low-battery condition persists, then likely the adapter has failed. Normally you would just press the power button to restore from hibernation but if the system had initiated hibernation due to a critical low-battery condition, the system may not respond unless you have inserted a fully-charged battery pack. Here is an excerpt from page 38 (Chapter 3 Power) of the HP Pavilion DV5000 User Manual....

*If the system initiated hibernation because of a critical low-battery condition, connect external power or insert a

charged battery pack before you press the power button. (The system may not respond if the discharged battery pack
is the only power source.)

you need to hold down the fn key then hit the f4 key to switch to external source.

Hi, you can do a hard rest by following these steps:

Turn off the pc
Remove the cables and the battery on the laptop
Press & hold the power button for 5 seconds
Reinsert the battery and cables to it
Turn on the pc

that is how to do a hard reset....

1. you will need to go into you BIOS settings for the mother board to disable the sleep mode.
2. You also have a " sleep mode" in your Windows environment.
Check how to in the "help and support" link at the start button or Windows Orb ( for Windows 7)

- your comp is in hibernation mode
- go to control panel>>power management>>put to NEVER the sleep mode,hibernation,HDD,battery
- restart system

• Hi. "Yes," but putting the computer in the Hibernation State, can use up to 400MB of memory, and can be very "unstable to the system." You Can change the "Sleep, Hibernation, Wake-up...from the Start search window, Type Power, to open the Power Options. "If the solution helped, "Rating it is appreciated, thanks."

I rebuild these systems all the time and I have to tell you I just shut off the hibernation which is what the problem is. Go to power options in the control panel and click the hibernation tab and uncheck the box. That way you save the disk space and the aggravation of trying to wake up the system. Let the computer go into standby if you want but you really need to turn off the hibernation...

I recommend you to do it the nasty way, unplug the power cord, and detach the battery.
Also, you may need to update windows, because this will happen again and again, there is something wrong in your windows and I can not say what it is with out working on the computer.

Hi,

Based on your post of failure to boot due to hibernation, you can try removing the battery and AC adapter connection for an hour or so. Thereafter, insert battery back and charge but don't power up. Allow the laptop to charge for a couple of hours. Try powering up/booting. Press F8 to start in Safe Mode. Once in Safe Mode disable Hibernation.

If the laptop still fails to power up, then it may be entirely another problem.

Post back results. Good luck and kind regards.
