As soon as the unit gets powered on it appears to have all the hot keys up top come on, also the wireless light, power light, charging light (when plugged in) If a disk (like Win xp) is in rom it will spin but stop after a bit.
Looks normal at that point, 2 seconds or so after pushing the power button on there is a screen that says HP Technology and the options I gave you in previous thread.
Esc, F2 of F12. It does not allow any me to do a F2 so I cannot check Bios.
Only sometimes does it work when you press the Esc key but it will run through a mem test (ok) then once it gets to the video test (ok) it goes no further. It has sat like that for over an hr.
If it is a hardware issue, when I open it up if there is no dipswitch, do you think that reseating the CPU will work?
Thanks for your help
