Well it's an HP Pavilion DV6, Windows 7, 4 GB of R.A.M, finger print scanner, the "works" anyway.
So... here's the thing, it used to overheat a lot, then one day, it just stopped coming on (for the record it isn't mine - belongs to a friend) So I said I'd take a look at it, I finally got around to it, I plugged it in, and the light by the plug socket (it's orange or white) that was flashing orange, not sure why, and when I pressed the power button, nothing would happen.
So... opened it, it was in bad shape, like, the case was cracked, the monitor thingy was coming off. I said fine, I've seen PC's in worst shape, and they were running. I dig deeper, clean out all of the dust, took like five hours messing with the damn thing, cleaning, and putting it back together, it was probably the worst dust build up I have ever seen in my life! Like I was able to grab the dust... and break it, I swore it was a sponge or something at first, but it was literally just dust!
Anyway, so I cleaned that out, wiped the fan, assembled everything back and hooked it back up (lord knows I prefer desktops, with all my heart!) I plug back in the power cord, and instead of the flashing orange, it stays constant white, "good sign." I think so. I hit the power button, and nothing...
The owner said they don't expect it to get fixed, but... I mean... is there no hope for the old thing?
