I have an HP omnibook 4100. The power light is on, the battery is charging but everything else is dead as a dodo. OS windows nt. There is no power to the internal CD drawer to open it. The number lockes etc light on the keyboard etc. The dang thing just wont boot or recognize the CD driver. ???????? |

i had the same situation happen to me with a customer's laptop: at her house, i swapped out a 14.4 modem for a 56k and everything was good. unfortunately, it needed to come back to "the shop" for serious software/OS attention. when i finally plugged it in, the thing wouldn't boot -- just the two lights on, nothing else. my heart stopped! i took the battery out, and the lights were still on. i unplugged the AC adapter, and the lights were still on! i ended up pulling out the modem, the hard drive, and the floppy drive, but still the lights stayed on -- we're talking a good half-hour with no power supply, here. i finally unplugged the mouse in despair and the lights winked out. i put it all back together and the machine booted like nothing happened.
go figure. |
