My laptop started just shutting down randomly or the screen would go blank. I did the static power test by removing the battery and the power cord, holding the power button down for 10 to 30 seconds reinserting the ac adapter turning on and then reinstalling the battery. This worked temporarily and my laptop would boot up.
Unfortunately it now no longer works when I try to do that,. I have done the lcd display test and my laptop has passed, sometime my screen will power on but the bios will not run.
Is there away to trouble shoot the bios? I have a backlit key board (incase this makes a difference on which key i should hit).
Everything sounds like it is running, the dvd/cd player boots up the fan is on but I can not get it running.
If it is the motherboard how expensive is it to fix? Also my laptop is out of warranty I bought it in October 2010.
