3 Compaq Presario dead almost the same time
I works at computer repair shop. Recently within a week, I received 3
Presario 2200 laptops from differrent customers. They all have the same problem! Just dead. If you plug the power adaptor in and push the power button. The battery light will flash once (or sometime three). I've opened and checked the mainboard. There is no physical damage, voltages are OK on every ICs. I can guess this is a BIOS problem! Does anyone know about this ? TIA |

I have exactly the same problem, and it appeared on Tuesday, June 30, 2006. I live in Fort Worth, Texas. I purchased the Presario 2200 in April of 2005 at Fry's Electronics in Arlington. This is a very frustrating problem. Could it be the CMOS battery? Is it possible to reseat the BIOS chip? When you opened the 2200's, was the internal DC input OK? (where the AC/DC power adapter cord plugs into) Does anyone out there have ANY idea what the blinks mean? I web chatted with tech support via the Compaq website, but with no luck. They had no clue what the blinking lights mean. One long, two short blinks of the battery light(orange), when plugging in AC adapter cord to laptop, but with the battery removed. Won't work with the battery inserted either. Can't get any power whatsoever to this unit. Sure SOMEONE out there knows what the blinks are trying to tell us. Believe me, I have googled the heck out of this issue. Please reply or PM me with any info. I would appreciate any help with this problem. |
