Hi
I bought a xps gen 2 laptop the other day which had a broken 6800 in it which a replaced with ati x300. after that it was working fine until i decided it would be a good idea to fix the sound.
i took the laptop apart and repaired the dry joints on the audio jack. when i put it back together it wouldnt boot. it just turns on the three lights near the power button (capslock and some others) and the power led glows. after about 3 seconds it turns off. the fans dont power up but the hard drive spins. The screen doesnt come on or the backlight. The charging led doesnt glow if plugged into ac with battery. same problems if the battery/ac is in or out.
i have tried swapping the ram arround
removing un needed devices like hdd, cd, ram, gpu, still same problem.
im thinking it may be a cpu/motherboard error?
any ideas?
I noticed a few people have had this problem before.
thanks
