XChris1632X Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 I have an hp compaqnc6000 laptop that has been around for about 5 years or so. It's been a great computer for me and I'm not ready to get rid of it mainly because it has the little button in the keyboard for the mouse and new ones dont have it. That may sound weird but thats what I'm used too. It has worked fine with no issues except some virus here and there that are quarantined. I shut it down the other morning after being on all night listening to music and tried to power it up yesterday and it starts to come on and makes noise, the charging battery light comes on, and then goes out and it stops making noise. The screen never comes on. What could this be and is it worth trying to fix or should I just buy new. My biggest issue is I have about 20g of music and a lot of other things on my hard drive I'm not ready to lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XChris1632X Posted November 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 I tried it plugged in and unplugged. I also tried it with the battery completely out. It was fully charged two days ago also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Please provide more details. Where is the sound coming from, power wire, part of the laptop where the power wire plugs into, where the fans are, where the hard drive is? What does the "sound" sound like? A constant tick, a buzz sound, a barely audible click sound over and over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XChris1632X Posted November 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 It sounds like the computer starting. The fans turn on and I believe it is the hard drive. Everything sounds normal and after about 4 seconds or so everything stops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGGU Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 do you get any video? try and plug a external monitor into it and see if it will come up that way(there will be a key stroke IE FN + something else) if it comes up that way its a bad screen. if that doe sent work then you have a bad video card which = bad mother board. sounds like its getting to post then shutting down but its hard to tell over the internet.

XChris1632X Posted November 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 It shuts itself down before the screen would ever have a chance to come on. I just talked to my mom who had the same laptop and she said the same thing happened to hers 6 months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Sounds like your power supply inside the laptop is going bad or is bad. Otherwise it could be the power inverter in the power cord itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
