Hey.
My little brother dropped his laptop. It landed flat, like when you place it on a table. But now it won't start.
The light on the powerbutton turns on, and so does the light on the front of the laptop. But after 3-4 seconds they turn off again.
After opening the laptop i see that the fan, cooling the cpu, moves very little. Like it's getting power for a tenth of a second.
I have tested a lot of things.
- removed powercord and ac adapter and hold the powerbottun for 60 seconds.
- tested the laptop with all combinations of battery and ac adaptor.
- tested ac adaptor with voltmeter
- reseated ram, graphicscard and harddisk
- tested bios battery (2.9v and that should be fine, right?)
I have not reset bios because I don't know how to do that.
The laptop is an XMG P151HM1. 2½ years old.
Any advice on further testing?
