Grabbed this from a client after it wouldn't show anything on screen... 

 

Power light comes on for both battery and mains power, but can't get anything at all on screen.

 

Has a 2Gb stick of ram and no hdd.

 

I suspect it may be the board or cpu, so be great for someone who has those in good nick and needs a good body/screen/battery/etc.

 

Ideal for pickup from Tauranga.

 

Hoping for $20 to cover the cost of the power brick.

Assume you've done the reset trick?. Remove the power supply. Hold the power button for a good 20sec.

Re add the power cable. Sit for a bit and Single click for normal on

Sounds dumb. But if not done before, it's the new battery removal trick for modern device's. Dell, HP, lenovo, toshy. Had to on all as the charge circuits go into protection mode if drained too much and need clearing

So remove the battery and do that?

 

 

 

Pulled the battery and removed power... pressed the power button for 25 seconds.

 

 

 

Plugged power back in and pressed on button once only and released,,,

 

 

 

Power light only comes on for about 30 seconds and then goes off for 2 seconds, then comes back on again and keeps cycling through that.

 

 

 

No screen, no numlock of capslock lights work at all.
