Hey guys,
I have a HP Touchsmart 300 - 1115UK which worked fine until a few days ago.
I unplugged it to move the computer, and when I plugged it in and started it the next day it wouldn't load anything, just a black screen and the fan working over time.
I've searched the net and it suggested to take the ram out, take the HDD out, listen for a beep, take the battery out and wait, press the power button for X amount of seconds, press F10, try another HDD etc... ive done it all in many combinations and no luck.
I'm hoping my motherboard has not died as its £80 for a used one with only 30 days return and limited warranty that comes from china...
Is there an alternative avenue I can try? Maybe I can put something on a memory stick or DVD to help it do something?
I really want to avoid taking it to HP so they cant toss my pockets for my spare change...
Cheers.
