I have recently picked up a Compaq M2000 Laptop. If you plug it in and press power nothing happens, no lights, sounds or anything. My boss also has the exact same model with the exact same issue. So I basically have 2 of the same laptop with the same issues.
I have stripped my one down, (RAM and HDD tested OK on another machine, but irrelevant at this stage). I have it down to bare boards on the base with the CPU pulled out.
I'm wondering what would you test on the board to find a fault? Or what are common faults to check? I have a Digital Multimeter and an Analogue Multimeter on hand...Usually I would check for blown transistors etc and test the power adapters.
There isn't anything obviously fried, and I need to find a needle to test the power adapters.
Any constructive / helpful help would be appreciated...
