I have a 2 year old Zepto Znote6625WD that all of a sudden refuses to start up. It stops before the BIOS startup and the screen remains black. The DVD-led lights. The fan is on. The network LED, the power-LED and some other LED I don't know also lights.
What could it be?
 

Nobody?
 
Could be lots of things. Remove every bit of hardware you can and try booting it with the bare minimum components.
 
Solution
Hi!
I tried to start the computer with the hard disk disconnectet. Same thing happened. I also tried it with different memory cards - same thing...
Still no solution.
 
Yeah. Optical drives, hard disks, wifi cards, the onboard keyboard and mouse, any external devices, everything.

Edit: You'd need an external monitor and keyboard and such, of course.
 


Thanks for your quick answer - I'll try that. I'll just have to find instructions in disassembling the laptop. 🙂
