I have a Compaq Laptop of V3000 series with AMD 64bit processor.When I switch on the Laptop, power comes but nothing displays on the screen. There are no beeps.

 

:bigcry: Help please.

is there any image at all on the screen when it powers up? if there's no sound at all, even the Windows chime, after a while then it might be a hard disk problem & not the screen or Windows.

If it switches on as normal but nothing appears on the screen than it sounds like a graphics card issue not working.

There's no image at all, but the LEDs on the power and volume buttons light up. And there's no sound at all too. :confused:

Yes. Exactly like what you said, Dave.

So, if it's a graphic card issue, what should I do then? :\

 

Need to change the motherboard? :stunned: :stunned: :stunned: :stunned: :stunned: :stunned:

If it's still covered by a warranty get it repaired under it, if it's not covered have a look around to see if you know any friendly independent computer repairers and get them to have a look, it might be something similar like something has come out of something.

The warranty period has just ended a few months ago.. I've bring my laptop to a service center nearby, they told me that it's a motherboard issue.. Presario V3000 uses AMD which can cause defects... If I wanna change the mobo, it costs me MYR1000, so it's better for me to buy a new one...

 

:sad2:

 

 

I'm broke right now.

:(

 

Sorry Rudz!:hug:

:bigcry:

sorry for you Rudy :(

i had the same problem with my last laptop, and it wasn't possible to repair it :shifty:

Graphics card asplode, or the hardware itself has broken is my opinion.
