Hello, I have a pavilian dv7 notebook and I can't get the keyboard to function at all. Nor do I have anything on the screen. I have done a hard reset and even tried a usb keyboard and still nothing. When I power on the laptop I get only the lights above the keys. Also right after I power it on the caps lock light and the number lock blinks one time. Any ideas anyone??
What exact model are you referring to? We need a complete product number to know what your asking about? And the no display on the screen is a very good indicator if my guess is correct DV7 units had AMD processors and the dreaded dying graphics processors. This is a sign of board problem and the graphics processor has more or less gone south on you and you will either need to have the graphics processors reflowed or replaced or the complete board replaced with a work board that has the bad graphics processor fixed.
