Armada M700, no power led, battery led flashes 8 times
Hi,
I have scoured the internet for advice on this matter, but have so far failed to find a resolution. My M700 no longer powers up, with or without the battery. The battery led flashes 8 times and then the system switches off. The power led does not come on at all. Even with the laptop closed (ie screen down) and the AC plugged in with no battery inserted. No beep codes are heard either. Here are some things I have tried : Fn+F11 - no fix different ram combos - no fix only ram and HDD connected - no fix removal and reseat of power converter board - no fix replacement RTC (cmos) battery - no fix Quick check of voltages at battery terminals - all seem ok One thing I did notice is that the fan seems to have gone short circuit as probing the top of the connector indicates a dead short, but the actual motherboard connector is not short circuit. So I disconnected the fan for the purpose of elimination - no fix Does anyone else have any other ideas or should I resign myself to buying a new laptop ? Many thanks... |
