hp nx9110 wont boot up

hi, iv got a hp nx9110 3ghz laptop but when i switch it on the lights come on and a fan turns but nothing else works, the cd light flashes but it doesnt boot up nor does the screen work, would anyone know what the problem could be? thanks

 

hi i forgot to mention that before it stopped booting the computer ran very slowley then started freezing up, the bios also kept reseting to 2002, i hope someone can help me

thanks

 

hi, would that also be the reason for the other problems aswell? thanks

 

If the external monitor does not work, check that the AC adapter is supplying the correct voltage and try running the laptop just on mains power with the battery removed to see if it is a power problem.

I had a similar problem with an HP laptop about a year ago which HP suggested might be a static problem. They suggested removing all user-removable components - battery, ram, Hard disk, CD drive etc and leave overnight. When I re-assembled it the next morning, much to my surprise, it booted up OK.

If neither of these work, the fans on/ lights on situation might point to a faulty processor. Hope it's still under warranty.

 

hi, no laptop is not under warranty, thanks

 

i removed all the removable components and left it but still the same, the harddisk is not being accessed at all, what should i be looking out for when connecting to an external monitor? id assume it would still be blank because the comp doesnt boot up.

thanks guys

 

If you connect an external monitor, you should see the BIOS screen regardless of whether there is a hard disk in the machine. If you get nothing at all on the external monitor, then the problem may be with the motherboard or something connected to it - processor, video card, ram etc.
