HP G50: Is there a pinout description for the DC power jack?

Mon, 21 Feb 2011 12:05:22 -0700

I have a board for an HP G50 model laptop. It only came with the board, processor, heatsink and fan assembly. I am trying to make a custom computer with it, but cannot power it without the DC jack. I know I can get one on eBay, but I think modding it with a permanent power supply to the board would be much more fun. Does anyone know the pinout diagram for the power connection on this board? There are 6 terminals. A picture of the jack shows 3 red, 2 black, and 1 yellow wire. Any help is appreciated.

Edit: Another option is a way to figure out which pins would be the power pins by looking at the pcb pathways leading from the connectors. Any idea there?

I changed the order in the bios settings and now my laptop won't boot into windows 7. When I power up the laptop I get black screen and the caps lock light turns on and stays on. It doesn't blink or beep. I have already done the hard reset steps and I still can't boot into windows 7.

HP G50: HP G50 wireless connection problem

Thu, 29 Oct 2015 11:05:58 -0700

My HP G50 connects to my router, but not to the internet. It's tells me I have limited access and its unidentified network, even thought it shows my wireless router name. I have switched to private network on the HP and reverts back to public. I have even factory reset my HP. The HP with connect to other WiFi without issues. The HP runs on 802.11 b/g does that matter.
