I'm afraid I'm at a loss and hoping that a kind person on this forum can give me a lead?
I'm working on a HP Pavilion dv6-1107AX which is having starting problems. Original problem was continuous or inconsistent beeps on start up and not reaching the log-in window. After much diagnostics and fiddling I was able to break into it enough to do a software CPU test. It passed. Unfortunately the start up problems continued and I eventually determined that the motherboard was faulty. Have replaced the motherboard with a new one.
Then the problem is that it simply won't start at all - no beeps - nothing, except all the panel lights come on momentarily this disappear. The power adapter is good. I get a light at the cable connector but not on the control panel LED. Have now replaced the power button board under the switch cover with a new one, but symptoms remain the same.
I haven't got another CPU to do a test swap although the previous CPU test came up as positive.
I'm left thinking that maybe I've got a dud (new) motherboard? Can anyone think of something else I might have missed please?
My thanks,
Russ Swan
