T43p doesn't turn on!

#1 Post by u.vivarelli » Mon Jun 21, 2010 12:47 pm

Hi!
I've a t43p bought on 2005.
Until yesterday, no one problem!
yesterday in the morning, I push turn on button but doesn't happen anything!
I try with battery and without battery, with AC and without AC: nothing, also all the led are off!
After few minutes, I push the button and the PC starts! A miracle!

then, I turn off the pc and, in the evening I try to turn on the PC: nothing! all the led are off with AC and without.

What's happened?

There's any number of possible causes. Pull the hard drive, memory, optical drive, battery and wifi card. Push the power button 10 times for a second, then one last time for 30 seconds. Plug the ac back in and try powering it on. If it does not beep, the board is mostly likely dead. If it does beep try putting everything back one at a time to see if you can figure which is the culprit.

Just picked this up - I see this quite a lot when the Southbridge needs reflowing, but also note the other comments as well, and check the fuses - this document shows where they are.
