I have an HP Pavillion Notebook. It does not boot. When I have the a/c adapter plugged in the notebook lights up without pressing the power button. The hard drive or exhaust fan does not start up. At this point the notebook is completely frozen. When I remove the ac adapter the lights go off. Now when I press the power button (using battery power now) the lights go on again and show the same characteristics. The lights will stay on for as long as I hold the power buton down. I have tried the reset button and just about every other button on the laptop. Please help.
