My dad got an Asus eee pc 1025c for his birthday a while ago, and it was trying to run Windows 7 with 1gb memory, suffice to say it was lacking. Today I got a new 2gb stick for it (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145228), installed it and went to start it up. The power light and the wifi light come on, but the hard drive light does not and the screen stays blank. I've left it plugged in while I got to work to see if it just takes abnormally long to start up since I disconnected both batteries, but after 10 minutes, nothing. This video does a nice walkthrough for anyone unfamiliar with the process (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ci3w3jvJIpA)
A couple things of note:
There was one screw missing from the mother board when I opened it up, it wasn't rolling around in the case so I guess it just wasn't there to begin with.
I *think* I got the ribbon cables all seated properly, but I can't be sure, 3 cables were disconnected, keyboard, touchpad, and one over the hard drive connecting the motherboard and the "DAU" (cable was labeled at each end)
Hitting the power button does not shut it down, you have to hold it to shut down leading me to think that BIOS has started properly, and possibly Windows itself, but the screen and HDD light both do nothing.
Anyone have any diagnosis as to why it would do this?
