Take off the plastic strip above the keyboard, as if to replace keyboard. You will see 2 small wires running from the volume control strip to the left. Make sure they are properly plugged in, and that neither is touching the foil used to ground the laptop. Replace the strip. I have had this on 2 HP laptops, and in both instances it was making contact.

It sounds like either it fried the CPU or quite possibly the hard drive as well. If you have access to another hard drive, try swapping them and see if it does the same thing with a different HD. If it dosen't do anything different then your CPU is probably shot.

If you haven't used any disk space, you wouldn't be able to boot up. What size hard drive do you have, how much is being used and what operating system are you using? All programs and files on your computer take up disk space.

HP.COM << go there. And ask a real question ,you did not.

learn to google mate. this is no secret,gee millions sold. A6Y530A the partsurfer shows true model, and fails this is the only post here ever asking for reverse code lookups on models fake, and is not easy in vast cases I guess you have no such PC, (look like) so why ask this>? what prompted this quest>? not told why not ask seller for photos of it if this is a pre sales question , is it>? google and bing and HP all show that model # is BOGUS so go back to your sell and ask the we can not guess PCs ever. HP product ID# is best on the service tag for SURE. where did you see this number, not told. or that number is some 20+ year old COMPAQ PC ,lost in the sands of time, and no google hits. you posted to HP forum, (not real) Hp.com is real

what does not working mean (KBD) dead, or 1 key bad or row. what? symptoms matter most, for sure in a LAPTOP IS IT the word Pavilion is on laptops and desktop, dig? G mean zero , the service tag does not just say "G" sorry. easy peasy lemon squeezy HP.com complex URL no? go there tell them your model # or better the service tag code ! . then magically HP puts you on YOUR service support page and all manuals and all driver before your eyes. amazing no? NO told at all or of a laptop or desktop or what./? you posted ANON so I can't just read other posts by you to learn what PC this is , no I can not. there are over 100 PC called G series, and vast years. some PCs by them G1 to 7 are generations, like HP Pavilion g6-1029tx Notebook. if you can find the service tag the product ID # is what matters most this code includes (real model, version , options and country sold) see this, older PCs by them had this. see that , all matters but do not post SN/ or service codes in public. mine: procuct code (nnnnnnABA#) https://www.pcdied.com/TAG-jive/tag-elite8540w.JPG I will guess it is 17" laptop, here is the mess just that 1 sized once you see this you know that G series means not MUCH> https://search.brave.com/images?q=hp+G+series++pavilion++17%22+G&source=web

old PCs do that, for many reasons. but no PC told at all just HP. 40 years of PCs ,10000 + models nobody can guess ever. but I do have the answer, in pure generic form. did you buy the PC like that used and bad Wifi. ?

1. the wifi card is missing, as was super common 10+ years ago.
2. someone put in the wrong card, not from HP list
3. HP blacklists (bios blocks) none HP cards (wifi)
4. the card needs a driver to work if not it is dead or 1/2 dead.
5. the PC needs 1 more driver to make the wifi buttons all work , all buttons related, if not they are dead or act odd.
6. The OS is infected, no OS told at all, not one clue nor if upgraded the OS, and not vast drivers are wrong or missing, (classic)

Im sure this this is not the free w10 upgrade, if it was that too kills drivers dead, for sure HP told you this unstated PC will not run W10 and has zero support from HP, on w10 AS YOUR SUPPORT PAGE WILL DISCLOSE TO YOU AT HP.COM

bad news now your bricked it just like miillions did google bios update bricked my PC and cry. why are you here and not at HP.com only they can recover bios. they changed the rules now 10 time. so only they know this, and are pain to deal with. UEFI is the enemy here, new rule and regressive as can be. in fact all new PCs can not be regressed, and some old now they even delete the 20 version of bios there, to force that. not saying they did that to your PC, but keep that in your head on all HP PC. the last bios upgrade stated, no going back. the Cntrl_+B might work , the flashback bios trick\ in your manual if you read it.
