    Ok on the sticker it save dv5000 and dv5285ea if that helps

    I got given this laptop as it didnt work but trying to fix it, this is what I get so far :

    On power up..laptop boots lights light up ...

    I get to the Compaq Logo and press ESC or F10 for Setup and can get into the Bios with no probs

    But if I leave it and dont touch anything .... the laptop reboots ??? and constantly does this for ages.

    In the Bios I have Firmware F.17 for the Bios

    On the :

    NOTEBOOK MODEL and SERIAL NUMBER

    It looks to be corrupted ..

    BIOS PAGE


    I followed this : Replace Motherboard

    Stripped the machine down, had a look at it..even heated the board up (like you do on a xbox) and repasted the chips/cpu's :

    Motherboard : SPS-BD SYS 945PM NV72 FF PAV

    Put it back together same thing happens ...constant reboots

    Can hear the DVD Drive spinnning up and Fan..but nothing

    Image when I put batteries back in :

    BOOT SCREEN

    Tried downloading Crisis Recovery and Bios.wph which I think is the right one
    But All I hear is the beeps in which you should get when reading from USB Floppy (some reason it doesnt work with my USB Key)
    After beeps stopped have left it sit for 5-10 mins but laptop doesnt reboot..
    I do it manually, then check the bios and its still the same

    Anyone have any ideas please ??
