My hp pavillion 15-cc1xx which was not listed on the select device menu will not vonnect to some networks. It works fine at my home network, but just says no internet, connected when i connect to my school WiFi. The schools WiFi worked perfectly fine 2 weeks ago but now refuses to work.

I do not use Ethernet at home and can't at school and the windows diagnostic hasn't helped.

If anyone has any suggestions id love yo hear them.

HP Pavilion 15-ab165us: Why isn’t my HP Pavilion 15ab165us turning on?

Mon, 14 Oct 2024 09:00:34 -0700

A week ago, I tried to upgrade the RAM. It didn’t work so I put the old RAM back in and my laptop was able to boot. I used the laptop for a while before closing it and putting it away without turning it off. After a while, it was turning itself on and off again. When I couldn’t turn it off, I removed the battery, which stopped the laptop turning itself on and off again. A few days later when I tried to use it, it didn’t turn on. The charge light comes on, but the laptop doesn’t turn on. I tried turning it on without the battery and used 2 different chargers but got the same result. When I try to turn it on, the fan doesn’t spin.

HP Pavilion 15-ab165us: My screen flickers and turns off when moved

The screen will turn off temporarily if you move the laptop or turn it certain ways. It seems to me that there is probably a short in one of the screen cables. I have never opened a laptop that was working afterwards, so any help available here for how to open it safely would be amazing, thanks.

HP Pavilion 15-ab165us: How do I replace the battery charging port?

Mon, 26 Nov 2018 13:35:09 -0700

Some background: my laptop won't turn on whatsoever, no power indicator lights, charging lights, nor fans turning on. The device will not turn on or retain a charge.

I would like to know how to replace the battery charging port on my laptop. I had a free diagnostic done and they said that the port was physically damaged. They were not able to test if the laptop would turn on with a good battery because they didn't have an extra. Is there a way to use a multimeter to test the physical battery? How do you recommend I go about fixing the laptop?

HP Pavilion 15-ab165us: Is there a way to increase the maximum storage space?

Tue, 08 Nov 2022 07:06:12 -0700

My laptop is running out of space but i have done quite a lot to clear space by deleting files and doing things like clearing out my temp folder. I want to see if it is possible for this laptop to gain a higher amount of maximum storage.
