Help With Hp Laptop

[flyfshn]

Have a HP nc6000 laptop that is about 4 years old. Came home from work last week and my two daughters told me the laptop was beeping (keep it in the family room next to my recliner). I tried to power it up but it would not do a thing. Thought the girls ran the battery down, so I plugged it in.....nothing. Opened it up, removed the processor, ram and hard drive to reset them...no change. Any other ideas? Surfing the next on the desktop is just not the same!

Beeping could mean it is over heating, fan out- but you say it isn't running? The battery could be shot and needs replacing.

Beeping could be the POST telling you what the problem is. Power on Self Test beeps certain codes when the motherboard receives a fatal error from the hardware. Check your memory and see if it is seated well. Go to HP website and have them trouble shoot for you. There should be a list of POST codes on there.

flyfshn,

I have to deal with about 2500 of these NC6000s on a daily basis.

Here is HP's site for Trouble Shooting NC6000

There are so many potential problems that can arise, but there a few problems that really prevail:

- Bad Battery (remove the battery and keep the laptop plugged into A/C) to see if it works.

- CPU overheated (this is caused by dust building up on the fan and stops it from spinning)

later,
