Hi,

I have an HP dv7 1080ed laptop that I bought three years ago. It was working ok until a couple of weeks ago when I plugged in my mp3(Via USB) to recharge my mp3. At first the screen went black but all the LED indicators remained on. Unable to do anything I pressed the on/off button to shut it down, and minutes later restarted by pressing the same on/off button. It turned on, and the mp3 was connected to the laptop ready for rechardge. After turning on normal the computer shut down all by itself no longer displaying any LED or screen activity, completely dead . I unplugged the mp3, and attempted to restart with AC power but no LED or anything at all comes on. When I put the battery on and I press the on/off button the battery LED indicators flicker but nothing else happens. I am off warranty, and am trying to understand what’s happened here, could anyone offer any clues, the A/C adaptor seems to be working ok and the battery is not empty so as to be unable to turn the laptop on. I sure would appreciate somebody’s help on this !!

I have a Dell Latitude D630 . When I press the power button, the power light flashes, then dies. I plugged the power in, but it just flashed for a moment and died again.

I tested every component in other Dell D630 and work fine, is the Motherboard dead?

Could be that the video adapter inside the lcd screen area of the laptop is not fully connected. Yes, that will stop system power-up. If you are not versed with disassebly and reassembley or components of the product however, I do not recommend that you take it apart and start messing around. If you do that, you may end up with an expensive doorstop.

my Dell Inspiron 600m shuts off soon after it starts ‘ so either battery or power is shot
how do I determine cause? It’s 5 yrs old so could be need of internal power supply system
not worth repairing ?

I’m trying to fix my Compaq nx5000 laptop.
When I press the power button, the power, and hard drive lights flash on, then shut off immediately (doesn’t even last a second). It makes some noise of switching on and then switches off again…But sometimes after continuous effort it does switch on.
I have tried every possible solution but in vain… I’m guessing it’s an internal electrical problem, but I’m not very experienced with laptops . Any suggestions what to troubleshoot next? I had taken it to one of the shops,they said it is bg ic chip problem…which needs a replacement..but i just wanted to confirm…
