Hello and thanks for looking at this. I'm everyone's local guy to dump non-working computers on. This one has me stumped!
The title pretty much says it all. My friends HP G72-B57CL laptop won't post.
No noise, no fan, no hard drive, no sound whatsoever happens when you press the power button. To the best of my knowledge everything inside the machine is stock and it appears to be in excellent condition inside and out.
I can't rule out liquid damage since it wasn't explicity stated that didn't get wet, but I'm not sure how else to explain how the machine got this way.
I've already tried reseating the ram, hard drive, mobo/ laptop batteries. I've tried holding the power button for 30 seconds with nothing connected, etc.
While the AC adapter is connected, the power indicator light next to the charger port is solid white. When the laptop battery is introduced, the light is a solid orange.
Ive tried using a different AC adapter with the laptop. The same thing happens.
A thousand internet high fives to the person who can solve this problem in a non-mobo replacing kind of way. (If possible!)
Thanks guys and gals!
Kind regards,
Wheatie
