Compaq armada 7400 does not turn on

The laptop is plugged in but will not turn on. the indicator led blinks green on the power light and orange on the battery light (symbol of battery with arrow pointing to it.) pushing the power button does nothing. it is as if it were on some hibernation mode.

Please turn off the Computer and disconnect the AC Adaptor then remove the Battery. Next, try cleaning the metal contacts on the Battery and reseating the RAM modules.Then, connect only AC Adaptor to the Computer and try to turn it ON without the Battery. If the Computer doesn't turn ON then disconnect the AC Adaptor and insert the Battery then try turning ON the Computer. If the issue persists even after performing all the above steps then service will be required.

What does a orange power light mean
please see the commentary. God bless you

  • The majority of laptops will display a solid green, blue or purple battery light to indicate that the battery is fully charged. Most manufacturers indicate that a laptop is in the process of charging by displaying a solid or blinking green, orange, blue or purple light. If your battery indicator light is green, blue or purple, the battery is probably functional, regardless of whether the light is blinking. If the light is solid orange, the laptop is probably in the process of charging.

Battery Error Coneventions

  • Many battery manufacturers use rapidly blinking lights to indicate that a battery's charge level is low. In general, a laptop will rapidly blink orange or red when its charge drops below a certain level until the computer is plugged into a power outlet and charged. If your laptop's battery indicator continues to blink rapidly in orange or red or if it remains red even when it is plugged into the charger, it indicates a problem with your battery or the charger.

My Compaq 7400 laptop was working fine but put aside to use another computer. Started it up - no front LED indicator lights - sudden shutdowns - battery apparently not charging. New battery - charging -...
If the notebook has been almecenated with battery's in place, check battery holders for sulphite (Light blue dust-like substance) in the connection points.
Using a sand paper, remove this substance. DO NOT ALLOW IT TO GET INTO YOUR MOUTH. That should work, but if the sulfite extended to the inside of the unit, then you may have to dismantle, clean and reassembly the notebook.

Blink screen
do the lights on the laptop come on (does it have power?) if they do connect the laptop to an external monitor if you get a normal display thats good its sending a signal try pressing FN + F4 it should toggle between normal and external display modes... if that doesnt work you may have a problem with the motherboard.. either an unseated cable or short circuit...
