| 795261 | 2009-07-26 05:42:00 | Im having problems with my Compaq presario v3000 notebook. *It doesn't turn on without the AC power charger. *It takes a few tries to turn on successfully (when it doesnt turn on i can hear the fans, and blue led on the power and volume button emits but the screen doesn't turn on) *The wireless connection doesn't work *Wireless devices aren't detected I've tried the following: *Update BIOS on HP support page *Reinstall HP wireless assistant *Reinstall network adapters My friend suggested removing the battery but i think it will void the warranty. Can someone please help me? |

| 795264 | 2009-07-26 06:19:00 | If you did update the BIOS, did you set it to the defaults and reconfigure the settings? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 795265 | 2009-07-26 08:04:00 | There's a known issue with Presario V3000's having swollen capacitors on the MoBo - I had one around 18 months ago that was doing the same (fans going, keyboard LED's lit up but dead screen). Have a hunt on the internet for this - not saying for sure it's this, but it's been mentioned on here before as well. HTH |

I have two or three in bits in the workshop that I have tried to get one working unit out of but had no luck. |

Never been able to fix one short of installing a new motherboard. (which was done under warranty) You sure it isn't posting when it does turn on? Just thinking it could possible be a LCD backlight issue aswell...plugging in an external monitor would rule this out, or looking really really hard at the screen. |
