Laptop doesn’t boot makes clicking sound and then repeats

Laptop makes a click or spark sound around the CMOS battery area


17 inch HP Pavilion with i5 4th gen processor


Recently replaced my HDD to an SSD and when I went to test out the SSD I accidentally picked up the laptop to turn it around and forgot about the rechargeable battery which immediately turned off the computer.

I tried rebooting the computer again and it just turns on all lights with fan running and then few seconds later turns off and hearing a click sound that happens when you hard power it off (holding down the power button) and then repeats

What I tried already was resetting the power multiple times and also connecting with only AC adapter to no avail.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

James Chen exactly what happened when you "forgot about the rechargeable battery" and turned your laptop over?

by

@oldturkey03 what I mean by that was when I picked up the laptop to turn it around the rechargeable battery came out of its battery contact pins and the computer completely turned off

by

Yes, that is what I thought. Have you checked the connectors/cables and traces to make sure that nothing came loose or got pulled off?

by

Yes I have took each and every cable out and re connected them.
