When turning on the laptop (emachines E442-V140) nothing happens, just some noise from Hard Drive I guess, the CPU led won`t start flashing, just black screen, processor seems dead, won`t start. The power and battery leds are on, it gets power.
Thanks for the tips in advance!
pinus described the same problem:
“Emachine E442-V634 doesn’t boot up anymore. Power button lights up, dvd player opens and close fine, screen remains black, no beeps of any kind, cpu fan on. It was working fine and a few night ago shut the computer down for the night. Turned it on the next morning and this situation happened. After a few attempts it started and worked fine, made a backup of anything important , just in case. That evening went to turn on the computer and same thing happened and was never able to restart it again. Screen remains black and won’t even boot to the bios. Harddrive seems to be “clicking” when I try to boot up. Tried draining the power by holding the power button down without any power going to the computer. Removed ram and reboot, no beeps. Tried one ram modul at a time, no results. Boot with hard drive removed, no beeps or bios. Took the computer apart , no dust on fan. Computer is only two years old. Tried hooking it up to another monitor, still nothing. I am at a lost to what the problem might be. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I don t think it is the hard drive since the bios screen won t even come up. Western Digital 320 GB, AMD V140, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250. How do you find a solution to this problem.”
Best check all internal connections but a hard drive clicking is often a sign that the HD itself failing.
A PSU can be faulty even when the power lights come on.
Always pop back and let us know the outcome – thanks
