Blank screen / won't boot / not a problem with power supply

blubud08 · 09-15-2008, 10:29 AM

I have a hp pavilion zx5000 laptop.

Last night I walked away from it and the power cord had unplugged itself, so the comp shut down. The battery hasn't worked properly since forever, but power supply isn't the problem.

Now after I push the power button, it makes a couple noises like it's trying to access a disc and it just shows a blank screen and won't boot up???????

ARRRRggggg! Please help me!

Thanks for replying!

Since I posted that message I found out from Geek Squad that I had a bad motherboard, and no it is not under warranty anymore!

But again! Thank you!
