I could not quite understand what you are trying to say. Are you saying when you plug in the ac adapter to the power supply? Also is it when you turn on the computer does nothing come on the screen? I think more people may be able to help you if you explain your problem a little more.

I just resurrected my Armada M700 by removing the RTC (CMOS) battery for about 10 minutes and reinserting it. Before when pushing the on button, only the battery light would come on and shut off after about 5 seconds. I thought it was a goner.

The RTC battery for the M700 is beside the modem. I got the maintenance and service guide off the internet - here's the link, just save it to your hard drive.

It's very informative and tells you most everything you'd want to know about taking it apart.

Hope this helps some of you.

I have a Compaq Armada M700 may be someone out there has the answer. I has worked perfectly since I bought it back in November 2009, but last monday when I tried to start it up it wouldn't do anything. The closest sign of life came from the battery charge light which flashed twice a few times when I pressed the power button but when that stopped doing that it stopped doing anything! Any ideas on how I can get the darn thing to work again?
