Try it on mains power as the battery could be almost flat.
If that's not the issue, the mains adapter may have died.
See if you can borrow a laptop mains adapter but make sure it's the same output voltage & amps.
If your laptop works with borrowed mains adapter, that's what you need to buy.

Let me spook most of you!
I just tried about everything that is on the forums, Reset, disconnecting memory etc etc.
If that works for you - GREAT !!!
OTHERWISE - I can assure you that your motherboard has taken too much heat and likely your GPU-chip, or Video-Chip has lost contact on the solderpoints where it connects with the motherboard. This is a very common problem with laptops when the cooling gets less over the years due to dust, dirt, wear.... If one contact is loose on the mainboard then the PC will not start, boot at all. When pressing the Power-switch the system immediately goes in to fault, or block, since it detects a fail on the mainboard. (particularly AMD-processor types)
The resolution is to "fix" the solderpoints, or replace the motherboard/mainboard (expensive). There are 2 ways of doing this, but you will have to take your complete Pavilion apart !!! Only takes 1 screwdriver, a thin device like a guitar pick, or credit card and patience !!! Loon on Youtube for video's on how to take a g7 apart, there is also one good set of steps-pictures on a website.
Once you have the mainboard out - take the processor off with the fan, take all stickers off, the bios-battery and place it straight on alumnium foil. Pre-Heat your oven on 200 celsius, place the board in for 9 minutes. Let it cool off enough (pretty hot!!!) .... and put all together again. That is your last resort, hope, chance of getting some more milage out of your g7 !!! No warranty of course, HP will never recommend this, or support this... BUT when all is lost, and little hope left.... just try it before throwing your laptop in the garbage ! By the way - if you do so, always take out your HD drive since you can get your data from the disc still !!!
I just did this for a G7 of a girlfriend. The PC was totally dead! Power on, charge light, orange WIFI light at F12..... Black Screen .... NOTHING ....
