Unfortunatelly it's the mainboard.

Deberias abrir el portatil y reiniciar el sistema basico BIOS, es decir, acel clar CMOS, es bastante complicado y arriesgado, por lo que deberias ir en un sitio con un soporte tecnico informatico para que te solucionen el problema.

Try an external USB keyboard or use the on-screen key board which is a feature of Windows - the mouse has to be working for the On-Screen keyboard to work. If any of these two remedies work, your Keyboard is bad.

I dont know what to say old chum,perhaps this is the achillies heel of a computing issues ie these units perpetual cost ancilliary items and effort and fail when you dont want them too,then theres malicious code,bad sites an companies that just want to milk you for every cent youve got--im sorry

firstly can you hear the fan?Your pc might be shutting down automatically but it is more likely to be a bad or corrupted install.suggest re-installation of O.S.
most pc's run hot,thats not such a problem

sounds more like a driver/video card issue. Your LCD cant manipulate the image in that way unless the screen is cracked/busted.

Hi,

Remove the power cord from the back of the unit and then hold in the power button for 10 seconds. Re-apply the power and attempt to turn it on.

You can start it in safe mode pressing the F8 key...it change between brands but must out there use f8... when you start in "safe mode" in the log in screen you will find your user name and the administrator one...normally the administrator don't have password, so you can log into it and there you have the permission to delete other users passwords...
If you don't found that option, there is an other option but you need to download it and burn it in a cd... Is called ERD Commander here is the link for it: http://rapidshare.com/files/113560492/ERD.Commander.2008.CrOwN.rar... the password for decompress it is:( munda ) when you have burned it, insert it in you cd drive> go to your computer bios>select boot priority>change it for boot from cd first...once you have done that press f10 and select the option yes to save your settings and restart your pc....then your computer will start with a wizard looking like windows xp...complete all the things that it request...when finally boots up>go to start menua and select system tools>locksmith and delete all the passwords that you want...that's it! restart without the cd in the drive and log in! "Hope it works for you"

delete and reinstall your email software.

It depends what program you used to add it in the first place. Open the software and look for settings, or just uninstall it.

desktop or laptop. ? external Keyboard or internal

no pc told, Pavilion means zerothat name is is used on desktops and laptops for agesthe HP has diagnostics so run those. HP.com tells how.not told desktop or laptops. just 1 word."Screen"first Pavilion was 1995

HP.COM << go there. And ask a real question ,you did not.

learn to google mate. this is no secret,gee millions sold. A6Y530A the partsurfer shows true model, and fails this is the only post here ever asking for reverse code lookups on models fake, and is not easy in vast cases I guess you have no such PC, (look like) so why ask this>? what prompted this quest>? not told why not ask seller for photos of it if this is a pre sales question , is it>? google and bing and HP all show that model # is BOGUS so go back to your sell and ask the we can not guess PCs ever. HP product ID# is best on the service tag for SURE. where did you see this number, not told. or that number is some 20+ year old COMPAQ PC ,lost in the sands of time, and no google hits. you posted to HP forum, (not real) Hp.com is real

what does not working mean (KBD) dead, or 1 key bad or row. what? symptoms matter most, for sure in a LAPTOP IS IT the word Pavilion is on laptops and desktop, dig? G mean zero , the service tag does not just say "G" sorry. easy peasy lemon squeezy HP.com complex URL no? go there tell them your model # or better the service tag code ! . then magically HP puts you on YOUR service support page and all manuals and all driver before your eyes. amazing no? NO told at all or of a laptop or desktop or what./? you posted ANON so I can't just read other posts by you to learn what PC this is , no I can not. there are over 100 PC called G series, and vast years. some PCs by them G1 to 7 are generations, like HP Pavilion g6-1029tx Notebook. if you can find the service tag the product ID # is what matters most this code includes (real model, version , options and country sold) see this, older PCs by them had this. see that , all matters but do not post SN/ or service codes in public. mine: procuct code (nnnnnnABA#) https://www.pcdied.com/TAG-jive/tag-elite8540w.JPG I will guess it is 17" laptop, here is the mess just that 1 sized once you see this you know that G series means not MUCH> https://search.brave.com/images?q=hp+G+series++pavilion++17%22+G&source=web

old PCs do that, for many reasons. but no PC told at all just HP. 40 years of PCs ,10000 + models nobody can guess ever. but I do have the answer, in pure generic form. did you buy the PC like that used and bad Wifi. ?

1. the wifi card is missing, as was super common 10+ years ago.
2. someone put in the wrong card, not from HP list
3. HP blacklists (bios blocks) none HP cards (wifi)
4. the card needs a driver to work if not it is dead or 1/2 dead.
5. the PC needs 1 more driver to make the wifi buttons all work , all buttons related, if not they are dead or act odd.
6. The OS is infected, no OS told at all, not one clue nor if upgraded the OS, and not vast drivers are wrong or missing, (classic)

Im sure this this is not the free w10 upgrade, if it was that too kills drivers dead, for sure HP told you this unstated PC will not run W10 and has zero support from HP, on w10 AS YOUR SUPPORT PAGE WILL DISCLOSE TO YOU AT HP.COM

today there are many PDF , Viewers not juts Adobe ! google finds them like this. https://www.google.com/search?q=pdf%20viewers

bad news now your bricked it just like miillions did google bios update bricked my PC and cry. why are you here and not at HP.com only they can recover bios. they changed the rules now 10 time. so only they know this, and are pain to deal with. UEFI is the enemy here, new rule and regressive as can be. in fact all new PCs can not be regressed, and some old now they even delete the 20 version of bios there, to force that. not saying they did that to your PC, but keep that in your head on all HP PC. the last bios upgrade stated, no going back. the Cntrl_+B might work , the flashback bios trick\ in your manual if you read it.

nobody can we erase all and reload the OS fresh. did not say you can not try but that 99 out 100 will fail.
