Compaq Presario 2700 bootup
Hi everyone, I have a Compaq Presario 2700US which is giving me a big
headache. For some reason sometimes it won't boot up. Actually it just does not turn on the screen but won't work with an external monitor either. The cdrom starts reading and everything but the screen... of course it won't get to the OS start up but it does not freeze... it powers off normally when I press the power button. I did try the power drain following the these instructions given by HP technitians with no luck: 1. Disconnect AC power. 2. Disconnect laptop battery. 3. Press power button in the laptop for 20 seconds (or 1 minute). 4. Connect AC power (not battery). 5. Check whether the laptop powers up. I also tried to clearing the CMOS but nothing changed. Any ideas? |

I have the same problem.

No kidding! And only with those 3 keys? That leads me to believe that
*maybe* it's too early to jump the gun and do surgery to remove the keyboard. But I'm willing to do that...doesn't look terribly difficult, given the .pdf download of service and maintenance manual from HP websitd. Would like to keep each other informed. Thanks...Carl dandeetort wrote: I have the same problem. I am thinking about sending it to HP to have it repaired |
