My Compaq Presario will not power up! HELP!!!?

The notebook was the martyr of a serious power surge and would not power up afterwards. I replaced the power supply, thinking this was the problem, which it be, the old one did not work, the hot one does, as the light comes on at the fund of the power supply, HOWEVER, my pc will not power up. So clearly power is going to the power supply but not to the rest of the workstation, either that or something else is fried. Please any suggestions would really be appreciated. Thank you guys.

My Compaq Presario will not power up! HELP!!!?

are u so sure the first power box is fried? in that is also a fause in the power supply box could be that, unmarked power box is all wires connected. could be your bios remove mobile for 5 minutes put battery put money on in bios mother board try that.
examination your power supply
Sounds to me like a fried motherboard.
Could be a great deal of things. Ran into a similar situation recently and on the HP (now owns Compaq) net site there are specific instructions per model on how to troubleshoot power supply issues.



One item that you may try is to make sure you plug directly into the wall plug and not a (potentially) fried power strip. Also, bizarre as it sounds, unplug the PC from the wall and press and hold the power button on the front of the PC for five second and then plug her final in and try again.



Go to www.hp.com and check for your specific model for more details on how to trouble shoot this problem.
