Thread: Even more computer help!

  1. #1

    Default Even more computer help!

    My lappy took a dump. HP compaq nc6220 won't turn on. A few days ago, I tried to turn it on, and no startup. No screen activity. The main power LED is solid on and the front led panel is giving a pattern. I hear this can mean something. There is no activity inside the case that I can hear (HD, fan, etc). Now all the buttons are non responsive. If I remove the battery, the light pattern returns.

    LED pattern is:

    Wireless: off
    power: solid green
    battery/charging: alternating green / yellow
    hard drive: off

    Sounds like a battery fault... Try this:

    1. Unplug power
    2. Remove battery
    3. Drink a beer (or wait 5 minutes)
    4. Apply power (no battery)
    5. Attempt to power up

    Any chance you have another power supply? If not, I may have one. If I find it, I'll leave it on my porch where you can grab it at your convenience.

    We had a batch of laptops at work with motherboards that would go bad. Hardly worth repairing at that point.

    Thanks for the help, guys. I think I am going to see if a local computer shop is willing to give me free diagnostics, otherwise it is time to get a cheap netbook that outperforms the old lappy.

    Nevermind, my got me a powerful new laptop for an early christmas gift.
