Laptop keeps restarting with no display

Pointland32 · 02-28-2009, 11:53 AM

Hi.

I have a HP G6065EA and now when I turn it on, it turns itself off again after a few seconds before automatically turning back on again and then it repeats this process until I turn it off. The monitor never turns on, either.

This is the problem I have, but the advice is useless to me.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks.

As per the link... did you try updating the BIOS already? Try with an external monitor if you get anything on the monitor screen.

How do I update the BIOS given that I can't even get anything to happen on my laptop whatsoever?

Of course you can... if it works with an external monitor... but I think you tried that already.

Try powering ON with AC only (battery removed). Try it the other way around (only on battery)... does it give the same symptoms?

If yes, open the laptop and strip it down to just the power ON switch, keyboard, RAM, motherboard and LCD... remove everything else, including the modem and wireless card... in this setup try to boot into BIOS settings.

If it continues to show the same symptoms after stripping it down to barebones, then consider replacing the RAM.

Post back what you find out...
