If you have a problem with the power button and internal speakers in a HP Pavilion dv6000 notebook you can fix it by reconnecting cable on the back of the switch cover.

My 5 years old Sony Vaio laptop worked fine last night, and I shut it down (vs. hibernating) when I was done. Today, it will not power up at all – no response when I hit the power button, no lights when connected to power. I’ve tried pressing power button for extended time, remove/reinsert battery, [...]
I have a problem with my digitizer of my Toshiba Tecra M7: The pen works but no everywhere. I don’t see the cursor, and I can’t click in left border and top border (when the M7 is in laptop configuration: open with the key board).
I’ve tested on Vista and Unbuntu, it’s exactly the same problem.
I’ve [...]
My Dell computer isn’t working properly. The battery symbol on the bottom claims that its plugged in but not charging. Unfortunately, whenever I pull the charger out, my laptop immediately shuts down.
Most likely your problem is related to the battery. Apparently the battery is not working properly and cannot power the laptop when the charger [...]
I have a Toshiba Satellite M45-S169 laptop less than 3 years old. My issue is the on-off switch in the upper left hand corner will not turn on without some effort to push the switch sideways, up or anything but the normal procedure to turn it on. Once on, the computer has no issues, so [...]
While showing a presentation a few days ago my laptop went into hibernating and shut down. AC plugged in. When attempted to power back on nothing happened. LED lights on front panel blink but power LED does not. My laptop is HP Pavillion dv5000.

I have a Toshiba Satellite A105-S4284 laptop. It is not showing that it is connected to the power cord. When I jiggle the port it registers. It seems loose. It doesn’t have warranty. I took it in to best buy and they think my motherboard needs replaced. Please help if possible…
First of all, this problem [...]
Once battery in my laptop is partially discharged and connected to the AC Power, it starts charging and then somewhere down the line, the laptop suspends with the ‘battery low’ pop up. When I bring it out of suspension, it shows the battery completely depleted, for whatever reason. Then, the second I power down, the [...]
I viewed your photos on disassembling a Toshiba Satellite M65 series laptop and found a problem that I have not been able to get the Toshiba techs to assist me in regarding the DC jack. My jack is exactly as appears in your photos. The problem is the white connector on the board containing the [...]
I had a power problem with my Acer Aspire 5102 laptop.
The power plug would need to be fiddled with in order to work, once you found the right spot it would work great.
For about a week that worked, then it got harder. It’d take twice as long to find the sweet spot, then it would [...]
