laptop help im stumped
 

my laptop will power up but it doesn't boot the monitor stays blank and all the lights stay on constantly what the hell is going on... I tried to put the recovery disk in but nothing HELP:helpme:helpme

try taking out the batter, then putting it back and see what happens. What lights are the ones that all stay on? What is the brand/model?

functionkey (fn) + select display output, maybe `?
have you tried an external monitor?

There is a tiny button near the monitor that puts the laptop into stand-by mode when you close the monitor of your laptop to his keyboard. I can't explain better. Just see if it isn't stucked inside his small hole. If it is, that's the problem and you need to pull it out with a needle.

Mine was doing something similar, and it was a blown ram chip.

Get a new ram chip and replace the one that is in the outside slot.
If that does not work, take it some place and have the one on the mother board checked.

All laptops have a backlight inside the monitor, if that goes out, you have to relpace it. I jsut had two cases with that same problem

:mad:i tired hooking up an external monitor and got the nothing but a no signal and I tried a flashlight in an angle and got nothing... I just did the needle trick and got nothing.. so im thinking it might something worse I will try the ram chip first thought and hope its that....


basically I turn on the computer the power button the harddrive light and the CD light just stays on and stays like that

i have an enpower 610 its an HP knockoff basically LOL


thanks so far im fearing its the motherboard because I should at least get the bios screen and im not

Motherboard probably dead ... If it is under warranty, go for it; otherwise, get anew one :2 cents:

I had that on a gateway ... cost of repair was near equivalent to purchasing a new one. And the techs wanted to be paid for the estimate ... So a new one was the solution...

Sell the parts of the old one on Ebay ....

i had the same problem getting a black screen and found out it was my video card was toast.Went to ATI and they exchanged it for an even better one free of charge.

sounds like a motherboard issue to me, you will have to get it tested dude.
