H-E-L-P My IFL90 won't start

Hello evreybody,

I'M using vista 64bit on my 5 months old IFL90
today i set it on hibernate and tried to turn it on again after 10 minutes but nothing happend (the notebook is fully charged) i tried to turn it off and on but i still don't get any life signs from the notebook
i also noticed that when i start my notebook the fan works for about 3 seconds and then stops.

can anyone tell my what might be wrong with my notebook?

thanx,
Tal

 

As you don't even boot into BIOS, it could be power supply or mother board failure.

Is the power supply connected and is its light ON?
Can you check that voltage =19V is coming out of the power supply?

 

the power supply is connected and the light is on
i get a blue light from the start button and also from the charging led

 

Does your vendor provide Toll Free 24/7 Telephone Technical Support?

If so I would recommend calling them.

It could be something as simple as resetting your CMOS...but they should be able to help you no matter what it is.

 

Same thing happened to me. I assumed my mobo was shot since I RMA'ed it and got back a completely new barebone.

 

Try to remove battery, remove RAM modules, disconnect from AC power and wait for 3 minutes. Than insert RAM and connect to AC . If everything is ok insert battery. If not try to repeat everything for a couple of times. If it didn't help I am sorry.

 

thanks everyone i'm gonna try the surgery with the battery, RAM modules and AC power i hope that it will work

by the way how do i reset my CMOS on my own?

 

well the surgery with the battery, RAM modules and AC power didn't work, the notebook is still dead

 

Quick question. So the lights turn on the fan spins for a few seconds, which is normal. Does anything appear on the screen? does the bios post? If not, how do you know it's not booting normally but the lcd is dead?

 

You might be right so i think that it will be best for me to contact my vendor

thanx everyone for your help

 

@cleanhit,

I suggest you try to update your BIOS. I had a similar problem and a BIOS update solved everything.

You may follow my instructions and try it, any doubt PM me

Good luck

 

I didn't do a bad flash on my IFL90
i have bios 1.13 that i flashed 1 month ago and the notebook worked fine until 2 days ago....i think that it's some kind of hardware problem
i also know that this model has screen issues

 

I had similar problem, first it was only BSoD's, and then it finally died and acted just like yours. After a couple of week of warranty repair it arrived, I was told the MoBo was changed. Where have they only get with a new MoBo so fast, I don’t know, but it works. By the way it was changed with VGA board, earlier I had super clockable Samsung memory chips there and now only stupid Hynix.

 

I have contacted my vendor and they think that my motherboard crashed so they told me to send them the notebook and they will send me a new one....of course i think that i'm going to add some money to do a few upgrades

does anybody know if it's possible to upgrade the graphic card? because i have heard of some IFL90 notebooks that are equipped with 8700m 512MB graphic card

 

Your vendor is the only one who can answer your question.

Generally speaking the IFL90 has never been offered with the 8700M.

 

I had the same problem (same exact symptoms). It was the mobo.
