I have 4 Elitebook 840 G1 laptops all showing the same issue. No matter what is done, the charge light flashes orange then white, going through this cycle once per second. I have removed all removeable hardware including; battery, WiFi card, H.D.D. and disconnected the CMOS battery with no change. When I put the RAM and battery back in and plug the AC in (tried multiple power supplies) and leave it for a while, I can feel that the processor heat pipe (It is what I call the pipe that goes between the processor and the fan) gets warm . . . one might even say hot. The battery stays cool. The laptop heats up with just the RAM in as well. I have done the 'hold power button down for 30 seconds' process with no change. I would like to know if there is any hope for these units or am I better off stripping them for parts?
