Hi, having an issue with this laptop. Model says series PP2160. It won't get past POST, and will only display the red Compaq splashscreen with a F10=Rom Based Setup message. Hitting F10, F2, Fn+F10, F8 all do nothing.
I've tried:
- booting on battery
- booting on mains
- removing the RAM module and starting
- removing the HDD and starting
- swapped out the RAM module
- tried the RAM module in the other slot
- leaving the battery, HDD and RAM out overnight
I've been able to fix another Compaq using these steps before, but have now hit a brick wall with this one. Hoping someone may have had this before, as I hoping I don't have to send my client to the Compaq dealer.
Thanks, Xygt
