1259551 2012-02-16 21:56:00 My mate has a Compaq F500 laptop that will not turn on, when you press the power button it lights up for about 2 seconds and then turns off, even with a charger connected.
I have removed the battery and just used the charger, same issue.
I removed the ram and put them back in one at a time in different slots, same issue.
Please tell me some one has some thoughts.

1259552 2012-02-16 22:00:00 The adapter isnt charging the battery as the either the brick is dead or the motherboard plug point is knackered. SolMiester (139)
1259553 2012-02-16 22:29:00 It lights up, and goes when the battery is removed.
I even used my charger from my DV6500, same thing lights up blue and will turn on for that second or so.

1259554 2012-02-16 23:43:00 most likely guess is Power circuit issue(internal).
You'll need to send it in for repair (about $160-200)
