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, Open the Case and 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.

checked all possible resources ...can i request you to check the model for motherboard again

You have made the same mistake that I and many others have made before you....making too many changes at one time. It makes it difficult, if not impossible, to know which, if any of the changes is the problem. That being said, I'll try to help. First, did you reposition the BIOS DIP back to the proper position? Otherwise, the BIOS is held in reset and cannot work. I would, for now remove the new video card and re-attempt using the onboard video. This removes one potential problem. Try that and see what happens.

updating the bios sometimes will work. there are issue's on MB's (motherboard) that prevented certain momery chips to work with certain MB's causing limitations. as to which brand memory chips can work with there mother boards see your manual or download the pdf manual to see which memory moduals work with your board OR contact Biostar usa at http://biostar-usa.com/cpusupporta.asp to get the right memory and bios to fix this problem if the problem can not be fixed after please feel free to contact us again

1. check the power supply may need replacement
2. check mother board battery > replace battery with same type.

No, it has just an AM2 socket.

i hope you dont mean in a physical sense

Test all leads that attach to your hard drive including electrical extensions IDE,SATA

the leads from your "((motherboard to your hard drive))" make sure they have a secure connection and are not faulty or just replace them there probably old and faulty

make sure all leads that are attached to your drives dvd\cd 3 1/2 inch floppy have secure connections and are not faulty even the electrical extensions or just replace them they could be faulty a computer needs its connections to continue its cycle and have an end so any faulty leads will end up with a computer error If your computer came with a motherboard disc the drivers could be on it or you might have a dirty graphics card remove the graphics card and clean the socket hope this helps

Download and install this software. It will helo you with codec problems.

Hope it helps.

Please give me update if you have any success, thanks.

If you're comfortable having a look at your BIOS screens, then have a look for an entry mentioning USB 2.0. See if it is enabled. If it isn't, enable it, save changes, and reboot.
You can usually get into BIOS by tapping the Delete key on your keyboard during bootup, but some motherboard manufacturers have different ones. Just read on the screen during boot up what button to look for.
Hope that helps.

You should have a disk that came with the mobo. You will need to install the drivers for all of the onboard devices to function properly. If you have already done this, You will need to access th BIOS Setup utility (usually by pressing the F1 key while booting, although your mobo may use a different key) and make sure that you have all of the devices enabled in the setup. This should solve your troubles!

Greetings,

Yes, that is very dangerous for your components. Power should always be off and disconnected and you should have anti-static wrist strap or be grounded before handling the components.

It is very possible you toasted your ram and maybe damaged your motherboard. Try plugging in only one of your RAM sticks. If it will not boot, or gives BEEP code swap it with another if it is paired RAM.

If it boots up great, if you get BEEP codes, read the error message out of your user manual for your motherboard it will tell you where the problem is detected.

You may end up replacing both memory and motherboard. And possibly some other components as well depending if you melted any solder or fried capacitors.

There are a few software which can also reset/clear CMOS settings or BIOS password or both within a few clicks. But you should have access to a system which is turned on and should have access to MS DOS or MS Windows:try this software or download it if you don't have...

KillCMOS

CmosPwd

then follow instructions on how to,,from the link site

goodluck..

ok, that nice, install the program

download this manual PDF file .
good luck and thanks for rate me
