My friends hp pavilion ze1250 laptop stopped working, so now I am trying to fix it.
The laptop will power up, you will hear the hard drive working a little, the fan will be on high, then in about a couple seconds the fan will turn to low, and there is no hard drive activity. The LCD screen never comes on either. So the laptop just sits there doing nothing.
I got the laptop to boot into XP once by taking out one of the RAM sticks. I was able to log in, but after a minute or two a blue screen with a error message pops up for a second and then the laptop restarts and got stuck at the splash screen. I didn't have enough time to read the error message.
I turn it off then back on and just a blank screen again...
the battery is on full charge and the dc power input works fine...
does anybody think they know what the problem is?
