My hp pavillion 6704, purchased in jan 2008 with the extended plan. Of course a week after that ended my daughter spilled on my keyboard. I put it in storage until last summer, when I decided to just use an external keyboard.
It needs a battery so I used the AC plug in, even though it seemed you had to be careful how well it would fit to charge. Ok, still willing to work through that.
However, one day it started just power cycling and wouldn't stop even after it was unplugged, it wouldn't allow me to hard shut it down. I had to wait until what battery was left ran out and tried again, with the same results. I took the battery out and put it back the next day, still the same. After much searching the internet with so many "results" I'm trying this site for help.
I'm wondering a few things. 1. could it be the mother board, bios, hard drive? I can't afford another lap top and I'm using a dinosaur 256K pc! I could if I knew which part was bad probably replace it ( I did replace a mother board once on my other PC), I just don't want to keep buying parts it may not need.
2. If I can't fix it, is there a way to hook it to my OLD PC to recover the data off of it, and if so how?
thank you in advance
