I have an HP Compag NC6400 laptop. using last night with no problems.
Standard shutdown. This evening powered up and nothing. No BIOS
screen, no HDD activity, nothing, just blank, black screen.
No Spare RAM to test but removed RAM and powered up to check for POST
beep. Nothing but then not sure if on this model to expect something.
HDD OK as removed and checked via USB test rig by desktop PC. Disc
readable and
contents as expected.
Am I looking at faulty RAM? or something more serious like blown
motherboard. Appreciate any input as to what additionally to do/check
for to resolve.


Or a power supply problem. Blown fuse? No output one or more rails?


Or the graphics chip/card or CPU died.
