Hi all,
I got a Laptop off someone to have a look at, the problem is when you turn it on, its just a black screen, the power goes to the fans, not sure if hdd is spinning tho as cant hear or feel vibrations from it. front blue light is on then it will shut down after about 3 seconds, next time I try it it could last 10sec before turning off, same things happen(or don't for that matter). I checked the RAM, battery and swapped a hdd for another that works and no change. was thinking it could be motherboard problem.
Also yesterday I turned it on and it started no problem and worked without any issues, now back to the problem again. I checked the CPU temp while it was working and was idling at 50*c, so changed thermal compound, whoever put it on previous had way too much and spread everywhere, so cleaned it up and put new stuff on it.
was wondering if anyone had this problem or knows how to fix it.
Regards,
Rob
