The laptop and power supply are fine. The circuit breaker was not tripped. The "hot" plug was stuck in the wall outlet and became detached from the plug when I pulled the plug from the wall.
I had an electric space heater do that as well. Lap tops are not to be left plugged in, once the battery is charged. Perhaps the person using the lap top foolishly left the battery charger plugged in for too long, frying the thing. A better explanation might be that small gnomes snuck into the home and used a cigarette lighter to melt the plug, thinking it would be a humorous prank to play on someone. Those gnomes are serious pranksters.

I did not spend too much time on this video (you can tell). It's more of an information video, rather than an attempt to win "Video of the Year" award 
This video shows the fault on a HP Pavilion laptop. The laptop simply doesn't power up. No screen, no backlighting, not POST no boot. All you get is the blue LEDs lighting up, the fan starts, the DVD drive spins, then all LEDs go out and it cycles through the same process again and again. Same on battery or mains only.
Yes, I have tried the "reset" of holding down the power buttom for 1 minute and more, with no battery or mains connected. It didn't work this time, nor the previous other 2 times when HP had to replace the systembaord.
This laptop is over 2 years old. This is the 3rd time I have had this exact same fault. HP have replaced the systemboard twice before under warranty. Now they say I will have to pay to have it fixed (new systemboard is over £200).
Why should I pay for a new systemboard when they obviously never fixed it on the previous two occasions?
Why should I pay for a new systemboard that is only likely to last about 1 year?
I wonder if HP have any comments. They have had no constructive answers so far.
I publish this video for several reasons
1. To help others identify the fault.
2. To allow me to email the CIO of HP with this link, so he may see the fault himself.
3. To highlight the issue, which I know has affected many Pavilion DV6000 laptops
4. To allow comments to this video to see who else has the same problem.
5. Maybe HP will resolve the issue. Well, I can dream
