Hey all!
My friend gave me his laptop (it's keyboard was missing keys, the hard drive was dead but i changed everything) It doesn't have a battery but i have been successfully running it without it. One leg of the heatsink that goes on the chipset and the video card was broken so i cut out some heatsinks and glued them on with a mix of epoxy and thermal paste as i read somewhere on the net. It was working fine until today, i was at my friend, shut it down, came home and left it there and went outside. I came back 3-4 hrs later and it wouldn't start. So basically when you press the power button, the led next to the cdrom comes on, i can hear the cdrom buzzing, the hard drive seems spinning (though im not sure) but the power led doesn't come on, the screen is blank and the processor's heatsink isn't getting hot, there is no beeps (so i suppose it doesn't post, but then again, even while it was working it still didn't beep even once to show a successful post). I tried holding the power button on for a couple of minutes (i thought maybe it was static electricity buildup) and i tried poking the hole underneath that's marked >0< (i suppose it is the bios reset button) but to no avail it still doesn't post. Once again i do not have a battery installed but it worked fine without it before.
Please help
