My laptop (HP Pavilion dv6-2153eo) refuses to boot

Put in old fan? Take pictures (since I know you have an android, take a picture and use the photobucket app)

Doubt that would fix it. There's not really a lot to see, lol, it's just the caps-/numlock lights flashing slowly while nothing is happening.

TIP: it's giving you an error code

I know; I looked it up. It's the error code for BIOS corruption.

No, it doesn't bring up the monitor, but according to the manual the blinks of the caps-/numlock lights say so. It happened just after I replaced the CPU fan because the old one refused to work.

I'm just gonna say that you shorted something out when you opened it up. If you didn't do anything else (hardware or software replace) then that will most likely be the issue.

Would probably be way too expensive for the quality, considering the general quality of HP products.

Implying that HP is bad quality.

:(

Any idea for stuff to do?

Considering that I've had 2 out of 3 HP laptops break within 2 years of purchase, I'd say so.

Make sure all the parts inside are connected properly

HP DV6 series is infamous for hardware failure, so probably the mobo is dead.

I have no idea where you get this information

Partially self experience, I bought a HP DV6 6c35dx and within a month the screen and wifi gave out on me.  I'm sending it out for repair as we speak.

Bump.

BIOS is your starting point. You're screwed, unless you're under warranty. At which point you can send it back for a new board.
