Help with satellite pro m70. Not booting

Hi all.

I am wondering if anyone can help ne with this.

A few days ago I was happily using my laptop when a crunching sound came from it. I found this to be the fan, and what had happened is a piece of the laptops body had brocken off and got jammed into the fan and broke off two of the fan blades. I immediately powered it down. I then took apart the laptop to further inspect the damage and decided a replacement fan was in order, to replace the fan I would have to remove the motherboard and this would involve completely desassemvling the machine.
I have since replaced the fan and reassembled everything exactly how it came off. Then I powered it on and the spins up as normal then goes off and the only thing that happens is the powerlight stays on and nothing is displayed on the screen, the hard drive does not spin. I have left it running hoping thataybe it needed some time to "wake up", this has not worked I have also tried to use an external monitor hoping that maybe the display had gone, but again no luck.

Has this happened to anyone else? Could it be a damaged solder joint somewhere on the board?

Thanks in advance.

 

It's happened to me many times (with different notebooks). I suggest that you take the notebook apart and put it back together again. Maybe something isn't seated correctly. Also make sure the CPU is in the locked position.

 

Hi,

Thank you for replying.

I have tried a few times now, checking everything is fitted correctly, I have also renew the thermal paste with arctic silver paste. Still no luck.
The only thing I can think of is maybe a type of intrusion sensor? And maybe it has to be reset somehow?

Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it.

 

Did you try disconnecting the CMOS battery for a while?

Also try booting with only 1 stick of ram.

Never heard of an intrusion sensor before.
