Lapto will not power up

thetreeguy, on Monday 8 September 2008 à 00:57:50
Hello,

My gateway solo 1450 laptop will not power on. I know the battery is dead and the ac a dapter is brand new. When I plug in the adapter the battery light comes on and stays orange. I hear no noises or anything. I did take it apart and when I plugged the adapter in I did see the hard drive light flicker once and that was it. The hard drive and the fan make no noise. Could it be my Cpu, motherboard or something else?
Configuration: Windows XP
Internet Explorer 7.0

hey there,

i had to go through your message several times before being able to understand what you wanted to mean.

but try just one thing with your laptop but if you arent sure how to do it then have an it technician do it for you, just try to remove the hard disk and see if it lights up. but anyway the error could be also from the cpu or the motherboard as you said. be cautious dude laptop repairs are somewhat expensive so try to see how much will it cost before sending it to repairs if it costs a lot then better buy another one

hope it helps you

I pulled out the hard drive like you suggested and when I plug in the adapter the light for the floppy drives blinks faintly once and thats it. The hard drive light didnt flicker when I pulled out the hard drive. What do I do next? Thanks.

Try removing the battery that backs up your bios. These computers are notorious for having the problem you describe as the main battery fails. Removing and replacing the silver watch battery (You probably ought to replace it entirely, as it's probably years old) will clear the bios and should enable your computer to power up.
