Presario V5000 - Thee machine was borrowed out

At the top of your key board right below the power button, there is a row of hotkeys the far left one is the wireless button.

Also have you gone into your device manager and seen if the wireless network device is turned on/enabled?

sounds like overheating , probably due to the cpu or gpu fan/heatsing loosing contact, even a little knock could have caused this

Yes, it has wireless and blue tooth. Simply download the owner manual of their website. Here is a link

Its in standby mode, hold on / off button down till all lights go out then switch back on.

This isn't a desktop PC by the way. Do any of the lights come on? If not, try to run the laptop from the AC power. If the lights come on but no display, then your backlight or inverter on the LCD panel for your V5000 might be bad.

Good luck!

It's the motherboard. Check to see if yours is still under warranty even if you've had it for over a year.

HP / Compaq has recently extended their warranty period for certain models.

Warranty Check

Let me know if you have any other questions.

what you need 2 do is either take the whole laptop back 2 where you brought it or even the battery cause you have a faulty battery.

most laptop batterys last for at least 5-10 years and after that no matter how much you charge them up they alwayz seem to be flat.

so my suggestion is get a new battery or take it back to the place that you brought it from and than get it replaced for free as long as you have your recept.

If the laptop posts: (power on self test) and you see stuff on the screen, no matter how short ,do the following:
if you have a bootable anti virus disc use it to check for any viruses , if not
try a recovery disc,
both will try to access the hard drive.
if they do not work,(nothing has changed) nothing comes on the screen.
laptop does not post:
remove the screw(s) holding the cover plate where the ram lives
remove the memory sticks, clean the gold edges with a pencil eraser both sides and re-insert them, (not an ink eraser as it will do damage)
swap them around if you have more than one,
if you only have one, borrow one from a friend or try the ram in your friends laptop ,if that's possible, or take the ram to your local pc shop and ask them to check it for you (they may or may not do that for you)
if you can establish that the ram is ok, and anti virus and recovery disc's do not work,then it is most likely, the motherboard has failed .
good luck with that and let me know how you get on.

Could be a stuck key somewhere, has anything been wasted on the keypad, tap the keys one by one to refresh is. Could also be that the keyboard is broken.

Fixya me ... thanks!
