Compaq Armada 110 Laptop - Repair Help
Hi All,
I have a laptop here that the user reports is dead. No lights at power on or any signs of life. The power adapter is outputting the correct volatge - check it with a multi meter. So I found the service manual and took the laptop apart, and when I put the power plug in the led on the motherboard came to life, so I put it back together and it booted into windows XP - yay. Then to be sure I tried to boot it again and it wouldnt boot at all, no power led's, but now I do hear the HDD spool up and the light on the side of the CD tray comes on. Something is clearly wrong, but I have not really tried to repair too many laptops before. I was doing some reading on repairing laptops, and I think I should start with finding the volatge regulator and seeing if it is putting out the right voltages? Love to hear any other thoughts on how to try to fix this. -Al |

The power supply needs to be changed. Unless you want to repair it
yourself. Whatever is cheaper for you. -Edward On Jul 6, 8:58 pm, wrote: Hi All, I have a laptop here that the user reports is dead. No lights at power on or any signs of life.

Its part of the main system board, so no easily replaceable. The PSU caps incidentially look ok. |
