Hi guys. I'm working on a compaq cq60 at the moment on which the power button is faulty. I've been waiting for a power button pcb board in the post and in the meantime I've been starting the laptop by shorting out the pins on the connection on the board with a screw driver. Today however the laptop wouldn't power up. Now I don't know if I could have shorted out something on the board.

I've been careful not to touch off any other components. Some help would be appreciated. I've been repairing laptops for a couple of years and I'm largely self taught however I don't know that much about electrical shorts etc and what to be careful about etc.

Help would be appreciated and I don't need any lectures as I just want to be better at my job and learn more. Patrick

Hi, did you short the pin #4 to ground to simulate the power button?
