    At boot up, Power, Wireless and Bat chg lights turn on for 3 secs then unit shuts down. No onscreen video what so ever!

    I changed RAM modules( 2 qty) out and now unit partially boots, Power, Wireless and Bat chg are lit, and stays powered up to the point where the caps lock lights ( two of them) blink three times then pauses, blinks 3 times and pauses and so on, but still no onscreen video what so ever!

    HP Blink code says defective memory first, ( installed new pair RAM modules 2 x 2gb DDR3) and if that don't solve problem ( it didn't) defective motherboard!

    Installed new motherboard, with new DDR3 RAM modules and same condition exists, powers up, Power,Wireless and Bat chg are lit, caps lock lights blink( 3 x sequence), and nothing further. No video display what so ever, NO PRODUCT NAME/MODEL, NO BIOS/POST screen nothing. (see attached pic) g71blkcaps.jpg

    Anyone else seen/had this problem?

    thanks in advance
