| 560328 | 2007-06-23 03:56:00 | I have found the problem in my laptop. The problem wasn't in my laptop. :D It was the power supply unit. Its LED comes on, and stays on. The laptiop starts to boot sometimes, sometimes not. It might start or even finish the POST, and even start booting. Then the screen goes black. The PSU sits there with its LED glowing, looking smug, I'd have preferred the LED to flicker or go out. :mad: In desperation (before delving inside the computer) I fished out my DC-DC converter and a 12V gel battery. No problem. :cool: |

| 560329 | 2007-06-23 05:03:00 | But you were assuming a major hardware fault . I suggested a possible "simple" problem, of the sort I prefer to eliminate before looking at expensive things . I noticed that an iBook has an easily replaceable power input socket . I have a laptop which has a similar starting problem . I'm not looking forward to repairing it . It's not a "cracked board" . I doubt if this one is that simple too . Whatever Graham, my assumption was correct . . . . . |
