I am looking at a non-working Presario 1200 for a friend. A green light is lit
when power is conected (from the brick), but nothing else works - it cannot be
turned on. Maybe a fuse, maybe a bad power-on switch.. or something else.
So I got myself a Torx 8 screwdriver and undid the 6 screws I could see in the
uinderside - but there is something else keeping the case together, towards the
back.
Opening the lid to the RAM compartment of course did not help.
I have two questions:
1) how do I disassemble the case?
2) the non-working problem may be common for Presario 1200s (though Googling did
not find anything) - has anyone some idea what may cause it?
