Fried my 2178ea presario
Last night I hurriedly went to connect the psu cable to my 2178ea and put it in another port by mistake. There was a slight crackle and the computer is now dead with none of the power indicator lights on. I want to salvage the contents of the hard drive and assume it wont be affected. Do I need to replace the motherboard or is it possible that something smaller is blown and can be replaced? |

Do I need to replace the motherboard or is it possible that something smaller is blown and can be replaced? What port DID you put it into ? Depends - might be an internal fuse. If you need data off the drive asap, to remove the hard drive - go to page 39. http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c00246219.pdf At CompUSA etc, get an adapter. Search Google for "notebook hdd adapter 3.5 " and you'll see lots of them. You can then hook up the disk to a desktop PC to get your documents until you get laptop fixed. |
