    Hi everyone, I am new to this forum. I purchased a ZV6000 with a bad motherboard off a friend. I actully loaded a fresh load of XP on it, it worked for a few hours then started blue screening. So I purchased a "tested" motherboard replacement off of ebay. I installed the board, and when I fired it up, I was getting no video at all, nor a post beep. The battery was being charged, all the lights came on around the keyboard, all the fans spun up, but no video at all, not even when I hooked it to an external monitor. I RMA'ed the board, and purchased a second one, from a diffrent seller, this one came from a working machine. I installed it just now, and same thing. It charges, fans come on, lights come on, but nothing on the LCD. I know there is nothing wrong with the LCD, so I am a bit baffled at this point.

    I purchsed a 1gb stick of memory from newegg, PC2700, I tried only booting with that stick in, no HD or anything, but nothing.

    Anyone have any advice at all? I appriciate it in advance.
