Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
I own a CQ56-203SG Laptop which was doing fine for years (I do not remember when I bought it). No misuse, no hard hits. New HP Battery since a few month.
No difficulties before. Used it with Ubuntu which worked perfect! No M$Windows ever touched this machine.
It does not boot any more. Even BIOS is not reachable.
Start by pressing the power button leads to: Light in power button is on, orange light in key F12 is on, white light in CapsLock key is slowly blinking. No signal by coded blinking recognised.
Fan is on, slowly, constant.
Monitor remains dark. HD lamp does one short flicker when powered on, remains dark then.
It does NOT make a difference if lid is closed or open.
Obviously even going to BIOS is not working.
Last status before failure:
OS working, lid closed, machine was sleeping.
Did not wake up. After several attempts it woke up exactly once. After restart it remained dark for ever.
Formerly all that worked fine for years.
I tried to power down completely including battery remove and then press power button to drain capacitors. No result.
I tried the Win + b keystroke combination, no result.
Machine dead.
Modell LD710EA, Ser CNF1118D18
What can I do?
Hope for your help!
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Dietmar Wilkens, Duisburg
