Presario 2100. Fixed DCC Jack, New Prob
Following the great post on the original HTFC bb forum on the presario 2100's common DC Power Jack fault i managed to completely dismantle my wifes laptop to find that as with most people the middle pin from the jack was loose. I cleaned 2 of the pins up and resoldered them and reassembled the laptop. Everything seemed fine and when i got plugged in the power cord i saw the lights on the ethernet port light up and then the power light on the front came on. I left it for an hour to give the battery some juice but when the power button is pressed nothing now happens. I did find that i'd forgot to plug the screens connector back in but even rectifying that made no difference. All in i reconnected - the screen cable, the heatsink cable, the keyboard cable, and the mousepad cable, are there any others i'm likely to have disconnected that i may have missed when reassembling? I'm hoping its something like this rather than the fact that i've fried something in the process :( Any other tips would be great...gonna disconnect Hard Disk, DVD Drive, Memory etc to see if maybe somethings not in fully and causing the prob. Thanks for looking in. |

Got it up and running !!1 Missed the connector under the switchboard PCA which must have been disconnected from underneath, had the unscrew the switchboard PCA and there it was. For some reason it never ran just off battery so gotta hope off reboot it runs off the battery instead of just mains. |
