laptop presario

Archived from groups: comp.sys.laptops (More info?)

Hi

I have a Compaq presrio 1700 pentium 3
The problem is that when I on the laptop a blank (white) screen
appears.
I can hear the harddisk working for a few seconds but after 10-05sec
the laptop shuts of.

so I opened the laptop to check if there are any wires lose.
But even when I unpluck the fan or something else, the screen only
goes blank.

but the fan isn't working either when it is plugged in, so I think
that there is a wire lose for power or something

Any suggestions of what I should do?

Thx
