Help!!!! We are having trouble locating the on button. We have received an Hp Pavillion zd 8000 without instructions

If you have the remote for the HP Pavilion zd8000 you can use that to switch if the keyboard is faulty.

Buy the right one, it has a weird connector i never seen this one in 16 years pc and laptop work

You probably need to enable the port. Right click on a blank area of the desktop and choose Properties. Click on the Settings tab and click the Advanced button. There should be a tab for your display adapter or it may be under the monitor tab (varies by manufacturer). Look in these areas for setting up your TV and enabling the S-Video port.

Power drain would be a better solution in this case. 1.first shut down the comp 2.unplug the charger 3. remove the battery and after press and hold the power button for 60 seconds without any charger and the battery.After the 60 seconds replug the battery and the charger and turn the computer .
and if this doesn't help
then try to take out the ram or memory chip from the computer and place it back.

Before you invest any further, try the lcd inverter http://www.laptoprepair101.com/laptop/2007/01/31/replace-screen-inverter-fix-backlight/ I have seen them for real cheap. If you take off your bezel cover underneath the display you'll find the inverter or if necessary you can get a tech to help install. Usually theres a series of beeps when you get a blank screen. Hp pavilion laptops also get hot on the keyboard after a while from long term use and zd 8000 came out about 4 years ago so the display should be a pretty good looking glossy screen. Those are nice laptops to work with by the way.

Hi,
I don,t think it does. Usually if you see a small red plastic piece on the front or side of the laptop. This will be the infra-red receiving unit. Looking at the review, it seems to be the only thing it,s lacking.
Have a look at the review here:-

Hope this answers your question.
p.s it is Bluetooth Capable for communication with other devices.
