found it in a garage sale for $1? sure, it's old, and all old PC's die, lucky you the screen still works at all. (most do not) HP Pavilion dv6000 with horrible XP operating system, (virus magnet) 16 years old today, no hdd or battery lasted 16 years. the main large battery is dead. that old, so leave it out, run on AC power only until PC works right. next is that very dead RTC CMOS coin cell battery dead., this makes BIOS go crazy, and fail hard. when that fails it can not boot. the boot hDD , harddisk boot order is gone, in BIOS page of same name F11 will not work right if any things above bad. The HDD this old is no good.(that old) so it did no run for 16 long years and fail just not out of the blue. I bet it did not (unless serviced fully every 3 years) RTC battery is under bottommemory hatch page 127 https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1031591/Hp-Pavilion-Dv6000.html?page=127&term=rtc&selected=1#manual after a new battery (coin + pig tail type) f10 is the hot key for bios (power on , hammer F10)

1. bios page 1 set time and date.
2. set bios defaults.
3. set PXE to disabled where seen.
4. set boot order to hdd first.
5. save
6. exit bios, and cold boot PC and see HDD fail. as all do this old.

any PC shop can fix this, why not do that?

at home,work or at the airport (wifi)? wgn1, wild guess #1 , HOME ! (answering to home. well do all things wifi fail at home or just the G1. fails? if yes all fail, that is a wifi router problem. or forgot your log in credentials? No only G1 fails! did the G1 ever work for you at home everbefore??? hummmmmm buy used, and wifi dead? (history not told) did you know most old PCs have no wifi new this is a fact. it must be added, called a CARD (WIFI) 2014 made, 8 years old I see goons sell them used as new on amazoned. still used it is. sold new with on of these 4 HP allowed cards HP also bans, other cards (black listed by HP. (not good that)

• Realtek 802.11 b/g/n (1x1)
• Meditek 802.11 b/g/n (1x1) with Bluetooth v4.0 combo
• Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac (1 x 1 ) WiFi with Bluetooth 4.0 combo
• Intel Dual Band Wireless-N 7260AN 802.11 a/b/g/n (2 x 2) WiFi with Bluetooth 4.0 combo

test #1, go to device manager and see what wifi card is there. or missing, totally.. the driver must be there and from HP.com or it will not work. If w10 plug and play fails. using wired ETHERNET cable to the router this PC never oncc came with w10 , only w7 or W8 so how did W10 get here.? but lucky you , HP does have w10 64bit wifi drivers here, in fact, all drivers of this PC.. https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-probook-450-g1-notebook-pc/5405421 so next you ask how to get them if WIFI is dead now. well 2 ways. use the ethernet port to a cable same name to the router port same name. or get the drivers, using a working internet PC and copy them to a thumb drive then move the thumb drive to dead wifi PC and load them, ( 1 driver it is and matches 1 of 4 cards) here is the hit list 1: the card must be there. 2: and be a HP card. (others do fail) 3: and a matching driver loaded.. card/driver/OS matched and HP matched.. 4: and connect,. works. now. using proper credentials wifi that is how the cookie crumbles..

this? lint from dog hair cats ,rugs, even at 1 year old. lint is endless. then it taps dust, and dead bugs and like and is nasty as seen below. blocks he copper rad super bad that. enjoy the view. s

no PC told model. * HP.com ,all is there, manual.there are 4 ways (3 you_)RTM read the manual see chapter labeled RECOVERYREAD THAT AND DO THAT, OR BUY NEW WINDOWS, AND LOAD THAT.ON NEW PC'S W10 THE OS HAS SELF RESET. (not yours)or load linux,

I know this is an obvious question but is the laptop fully charged? Yes, I've done that. If it won't turn on it is often a power supply issue. Have you tried plugging the charge cable into the laptop and turning it on while it is connected to a wall socket? If it starts up, the battery is most likely low on charge.

It is unclear given what information is provided. Your PC has a Network Adapter. If new enough, it may utilize protocols of both 5G and 2G wireless access points. If older, you would need a USB modem adapter to access 5G and have to configure the PC to use that adapter rather than the internal one. A router may be configured to show both 2G and 5G connections and yet the PC not show the 5G connection because of the Network Adapter . But regardless, when you are first setting up Wi-Fi, you need to connect router by Ethernet cable to the PC in order to login to the router home page where you will be entering the security keys for the 2G and 5G access points. That requires you know perhaps the router address and password, the default for which is generally on the bottom of the router. This can be rather daunting but one can look up how to setup the router by router brand for wireless as well as looking up the topic of wirelss networking. But you will first have to physically connect the router and laptop before you will ever be able to get WiFi without the cable. Your ISP technician might help.

ask a question, I guess your cell phone went dead mid stride? HP owns it and brand died in 2013 that number is not a PC model at all it is off the motherboard.

any will work if it looks the same (ends and gender) it works USB is a standard if using it for only a charge cable , answer is different use not told and are sold by the foot. walmart has them go look, see, buy. easy as eating cherry pie, ? la Mode

reason not old. (so will guess that,) A NEW HDD? w7 stated, you. but there are 2 ways laptop upside down bottom the MS sticker is there that is only an OEM license not retail. or get the free app that reads it out of all 2012 , w8 versions of PC ,it is stored deep in BIOS firmware for life, and newer. windows 7 has no such w8 ,w10 or w11 trick PC only has bottom sticker, look to in battery well , casing ,battery well or in BIOS page 1, INFO here is the free app https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/product_cd_key_viewer.html run it.

That's a universal problem with using the built-in software to set the picture. Rainald has a lot to say about it, and a solution, in this thread: http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/bizsupport/questionanswer.do?threadId =940242 Myself, I use Resco Photo Viewer to set my background picture--and it does fine, but that would be too much money to spend for just that one function. Good luck.

That is a security configuration on HP Laptops, depending on the way they blink is the problem your machine has.Here is the web page where this info is posted, in case you need more info, hope this helps you to determain.http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01443366&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=uk&lang=en&rule=26781&product=3816592 This document pertains to HP Notebook PCs with the HP Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) beginning in late-2008. On startup, you may see a blank screen. If the diagnostic utilities detect a specific problem with hardware components, the fan turns on, but the screen remains blank. To help identify the cause of the problem, various LED lights on the keyboard blink a series of codes. The diagnostic utilities use the LEDs near the Num Lock or Caps Lock keys to blink a series of error codes. At the end of the series the blinking stops. The pattern of blinks will occur any time you attempt to start the computer until the error is resolved. Battery power LED blinks The Battery power LED indicates the condition of the power supply. When starting the computer, or when the computer is in operation, use the chart to identify the power condition. Battery Power LED Component Tested Error Condition Battery power LED off, and Caps Lock/Num Lock off Battery or AC Adapter AC adapter not connected or failureBattery low charge or failure Battery power LED blinking Battery Insufficient charge on the battery When new computer is used for first time, the white LED light for the AC power connector blinks. Battery is still in "Shipping Mode", the light continues to blink even when AC power is connected. To resolve, turn off notebook, connect AC power and allow battery to charge for at least 30 minutes, then start computer. LEDs near Caps Lock and Number Lock keys blink when starting notebook The LED lights near the Caps Lock and Num Lock keys will blink if an error is detected during the start up process. The LEDs will blink a number of times in a sequence and then stop. The number of blinks in the sequence indicates what component caused an error when it was being tested during start up. If the LEDs stop blinking and the computer does not start, you can press the power button again to repeat the tests. Count the number of blinks, and use the chart to identify the error condition. Knowing the number of blinks is helpful when you contact an HP support agent for technical help. Caps Lock/Num Lock LED Component Tested Error Condition LEDs blink 1 time CPU CPU not functional LEDs blink 2 times BIOS BIOS corruption failure LEDs blink 3 times Memory Module error not functional LEDs blink 4 times Graphics Graphics controller not functional LEDs blink 5 times System board General system board failure LEDs blink 6 times BIOS BIOS authentication failure
