When you plug in the power cord is there any lightswhatsoever on the laptop, where the plug goes in or on the AC Adapter of thepower cord?

When you press the power button do you hear fans running, hard drive spinning,lights on the computer, hear any beeps or lights constantly blinking, hear theDvD/CD drive click and the light on the drawer of the DvD/CD turn on for asecond or two? If so the laptop is trying to boot or may have booted, butthe screen is not showing for some reason.

Beep tones and blinking lights tells the technicians what is going on with thelaptop and why it is not booting. Most times it's a motherboard issuewhen you hear beeps or blinking lights continuous. Most times the problemis with the memory or Video Card. Count the Blinking Lights or Beeps and takenote of their pattern (1 Long or 1 Long followed by 2 Short).

Maybe your power cord is bad if you don't get anything to happen whatsoeverwhen you press the power button. And if that's true maybe you wasoperating off the battery the last time you had it on and since the power cordis bad, it was not charging the battery so the battery is drained and the powercord is bad.

Maybe you have a Static Charge Buildup. Remove the Power Cord, Remove theBattery, then Press and Hold the power button for 30seconds. After 30 seconds plug the power cord back in (leave the batteryout) and hit the power button to see if it boots. If it does, you can putthe battery back in and let it charge.Maybe your DC Power Jack which is where the power cord plugsinto the computer is bad. Take an ink pen and push the tip inside thejack and see if the little pin wiggles, if so the jack is bad. You'll have totake the laptop apart to fix it. Most times it is soldered onto themotherboard, so you will have to desolder the old and solder a new one.Maybe your memory is bad or the memory slot is bad.Remove the Power Cord, Remove the Battery, Remove the cover that houses the memory on the bottom of the laptop then remove one of thememory chips. Set the chip aside then try rebooting the computer. If it boots, then you know the memory chip you set aside is bad so mark an x onit with an ink pen. If it fails to boot then move the chip to the nextmemory slot and try rebooting. If it fails take the chip out and set itaside, then put the other chip in and try booting it in both slots. If itboots, just to verify that the chip set aside is bad, mark an x on it and putit into the open memory chip slot and try booting.

SOURCE: asus eee pc 900 notebook screen not working

Try plugging in an external monitor to see if you can get a picture. If you do, the problem is with your LCD screen.

It may be the LCD backlight. Shine a bright flashlight on the LCD and see if you can see your Windows desktop. If you can, it's almost certain the backlight is out.

Your best bet would be to pursue this as a warranty repair if so.

SOURCE: my notebook screen 3000 n100 goes dark after few second

This could be a faulty CCFL lamp.
To determine if you have a LCD screen, inverter or video card problem, read this and follow these instructions.
Defective CCFL backlight, it may have the following symptom: Screen flashs on red/pink and off. Picture stays on in red and slowly be come normal. Picture flickering with dim display or appear black. Picture flickering on and off. All these symptoms indicate that the LCD backlight lamp (CCFL Lamp) has reached the end of the life and all you need to do is replacing the CCFL lamp.
Connect an external monitor to your laptop and power the monitor up first then the laptop, if you see the normal Windows images then the video card and laptop is OK and the problem is definitely the backlight. Dim image and/or dark display on the laptop's LCD screen indicates a faulty LCD backlight and it could be the inverter that supplies high voltage to the CCFL lamp or it is the CCLF lamp is nearly burnt out or burnt out, most likely this is the case.
The inverter can be replaced easily but the CCLF lamp is more time consuming and requires soldering skills.

Cooling fans running constantly is this normal susuki vitara 2007 2ltr petrol

No... constantly is not normal...!!

Hello John Burns,

The vehicle (by design) is targeted to operate at
180 degrees Fahrenheit ... Look for a thermostatic switch on or near the top of the radiator. For these purposes I STRONGLY RECOMMEND workshop or FACTORY repair manuals.

I have noted that most makes will keep the fan running AFTER the ignition is off... but that could easily be verified by looking at (make & model needed here) your UNDISCLOSED
vehicle's WIRING DIAGRAM ...

Present complete issue statement:
"Cooling fans running constantly is this normal"

Popular USA market vehicles TOTALLY FREE
wiring & TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS
are available on BBB Industries website (below)

Hope this helps...

I see issue now show Suzuki 2007...
I do know engines BEGIN to run correctly ABOVE
180 degrees Fahrenheit..
Buy a NEW THEMOSTATIC FAN SWITCH

Microwave jes1142

If the timer counts down and nothing else happens, the secondary interlock switch is bad. This switch completes the cook circuit and this is why it doesn't run. You need an ohm meter to diagnose and find the right switch. Switch failure is caused by opening the door when it is in cook mode. Push the stop button first before opening the door and this failure will cease to occur. BE CAREFUL !!

I have a Evo N115 Compaq computer laptop and computer will not come on. The green light comes on when you push the ''on'' button but that is all. What do I need to do?

I have the same problem. When I follow these steps the laptop finally starts.

1) Let the bottom of the laptop somewhere you can warm up it a bit. Be very careful about this. The laptop´s bottom is made of plastic !. In summer I leave the laptop upside down under the sun for about 15 minutes and it´s ok.

2) Plug and unplug the dc connector (not the one at the ac outlet), wait until the small green led lights and inmediatly after it happens, press the power button.

3) Repeat step 2 as many times as necessary.

4) Do not shutdown the laptop. Always choose ´suspend´.

Good luck !

Laptop doesnt boot only power ligth comes out when press on buttom a ligth comes out but nothing on the screen i dont hear the fan keep going.

Maybe there are some problem in your start button (the button wire connect to mainboard is Loosening.

Please press the start button for about 3-4 seconds then see it would start. Always it may solve the problem, this happend to my inspiron 6400 too, after used for years the start button failure. It shows only power lamp lights green but the other light cant light red.

If no, maybe your must change a power supply, as the lower volt current cant start all the device.
