Hello, my lap top hp pavilion g7 has many ants from inside the laptop out to the keyboard. I turn off. My laptop and remove the battery. After I try to open the case and try to clean inside then after I return the cover back but when I try to turn it on. It won't. Turn on anymore. I'm so worried. :(
Thanks

Hi Cathy2086,

As you mentioned ants entered the computer chassis, there is a possibility there might have been considerable damage to the internal components. Also, there is a possibility the connections were not seated correctly when you opened to clean the laptop, so it is not allowing you to power on the computer anymore. Please check the below mentioned link for "HP Pavilion g7 Notebook PC - Maintenance and Service Guide":

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DocumentIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&contentType=SupportManual&prodTypeId=321957&prodSeriesId=5048677

Please reseat the connectors properly following the steps in Maintenance and Service Guide. If the issue is still not fixed please contact a local technician or HP tech support for a thorough diagnosis.

Note: this requires you to reseat the components by removing the system cover/taking apart the chassis. Please perform these steps only if you are comfortable else seek a technician's help. Also, refer to the Service Manual for accurate steps and safety instructions.

Do reply with results.

Thanks & Regards

Thank you. it May not seated in its position correctly. Because it is working before I turn it off and remove the battery to clean inside. I just try to contact a technician and ask help or find hp maintenance service in my place. I Just hope nothing is damage. Thanks again for the idea :)
