I have an HP dv9500t laptop my problems started with a grey screen at bootup. I got a replacement motherboard, installed it and now have this issue.
The motherboard that i replaced the original with is a little different than the original in that it doesn't have the 256 video memory chip built on, but hp confirmed that my board would work
When i tried to power up the first time i replaced the motherboard, when i plug the laptop in, all the blue led lights come on.
But............When i press power.... nothing happens.
When I plug the laptop in, should all of the leds be on? I thought there should not be any leds on except the blue ring around the dc jack until the power switch is depressed?
Everything was connected properly as i double checked.
What could be the causing it not to power up?
The original problem, the laptop would at least power on and bootup, it just had a grey screen, now it won't power up at all with the replacement board
I had a computer repairman i talked to on the phone tell me that he's sure it's the battery or the power adapter.
But i've tried 2 different power cords and have the same issue so i don't think it's the cord.
as far as the battery goes, this is a 2007 laptop and the battery has never been replaced, mostly because i never used it. I always kept the laptop plugged in so i never noticed any problems with the battery.
But i've now been trying to fix this laptop for more than 3 weeks and the battery has been out of the laptop sitting, so when i finally got the laptop back together and tried to fire it up, could the battery have been deleted of charge and now be drained to the point it won't recharge?
So I think my problem is either the battery, the power button board, or the cables/ribbon hooked into it.
Help is desperately needed, thanks for any advice!
