I think I have already narrowed this problem down to the motherboard in some way.
Once the power button is pressed. The fans and lights come on. The circular HP logo on the back of the screen lights up, but the screen stays black (completely). The network light lights up. The capslock key flashes a steady 3 second interval. The fans also turn on.
I have checked the RAM.
I ran a HDMI to another screen and tried to swap the display with "fn"
I tried to boot to a live Linux boot.
I attempted power reset tutorials found on HP's site and forums.
I removed batteries and tried AC power only.
Any other ideas?
I feel it is the motherboard, but would like a second opinion first before I rule this laptop out.
Thanks!
