My 10 year old compaq laptop went blank all of sudden while I was working on it. Now it just blinks keyboard, wifi light once and nothing happens. I have already opened up and closed but no luck. Not sure if graphic or screen is the problem. Any thoughts? Please help🙏

Have you tried taking it to the gali ke nukkad wali dukaan?
(Everywhere there will be a troubleshooter in himself)
Model number? I think display went kaput.

cq42… Pentium Dual Core… Originally came with 40GB HDD & 1GB RAM… Currently running 8GB RAM, 128 SSD&1TB HDD…
.
Because of last Win 10 update it was heating a lot and I had cleaned fan applied heating paste 15days back…
Are fans running ? Can you feel heat coming out from vents ? If not then CPU has shut down due to overheating. Culprit may be poor heat dissipation due to thermal paste wrongly applied.
You need to troubleshoot little logically, like connecting an external display to see if the screen is not responding. If your laptop gives out any error codes via LED blinks/ beeps, you should try to understand them. Google/Youtube should help you with more information on the debugging.
Sure will do this… Thanks
Remove the ram/s & insert it/them again after cleaning the ram contact points…For multiple ram modules, insert one module at a time to check if the system is booting or not…Also clean the CPU & “repaste”, if removing the ram modules don’t work…
Done already…. No response only power button, wifi etc blink once… fan also revolves…

what else do u expect from a 10 year old laptop?
You should ask my ask my 14 year old laptop which is doing perfectly fine, although it is barely used in the recent past
Use an external display to see if at least bios screen comes up, if not then do the usual suggestion given above. If it is a mobo/graphics chips failure then you will have to get it repaired by spending at least 2-3k but once repair is done consider this laptop in its last days as such repaired old laptops rarely last more than 1 year or so.
did you try holding power button for 30 seconds
remove battery and insert back
Clean RAM and switch if you have 2 slots.
My 2 year old macbook facing same problem 😔😔
Any solution, I tried in local but they can’t.
I got a new USB3 128GB pen drive and went to plug it in to my Asus laptop and it went blank.. Its badly made since the metal sticks out and if you even slightly bend it when inserting it into the USB slot it will short out the USB port.. The computer appeared dead.. Nothing works..
So I took it apart and pulled everything out, to reuse somewhere else and just for kicks reapplied the power brick and it blinked.. Pressing the power button turned it on.. everything still in pieces and slowely started hooking everything back like the battery.. It started working.. You not only have to remove the battery but also the backup battery for a few mins to reset the chipset.. Had to do it twice after that as well.. The backup battery is on the other side of the motherboard so have to remove everything to get to it. But at least it got working again.
You are referring to CMOS battery???
Bro, does your laptop have internal graphics???
Yes,… Intel HD Graphics
@vijkap201 bhai https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Boot-and....
Check this. It’s in hp support portal.
Read it but it doesn’t seem to solve the problem…
Try adding external monitor if external monitor works then there might be driver issues or display is deffective
if external monitor also not works then try to long press [ f4 ] key for few seconds
if still no display then:
try BIOS recovery by following method >
Use these steps if you cannot see anything on the monitor:
Turn off the laptop
Connect the notebook to a power source using the power adapter.
Press and hold the Windows key and the B key at the same time while the computer is off.
While still pressing both keys, hold down the Power button for one second, and then release the Power button and the keys.
The power LED light remains on, and the screen remains blank for about 40 seconds. You might hear beeping sounds. Afterwards, an HP BIOS Update screen displays, and the BIOS update begins
A loose memory module also might cause your notebook to fail to start. To fix this, take the memory module out of the memory slot and then reseat it.

@vijkap201 apka Motherboard RIP ho gaya. So its better to purchase another laptop during republic day sale. Because original motherboard costs around 10k+.
Purchase another laptop and use these SSD, RAM in that.
He can use the SSD in the new laptop but not the memory modules as his current lappy most probably supports DDR2 rams…Latest laptops will come with DDR4 SO-DIMM slots so his old rams won’t be compatible with the current laptops…
Is it good way to replace old hdd with ssd and run simultaneously it with caddy hdd
Yes. Why not. The SSD will give a new life to the old lappy.
Ye ab bar bar kharab hoga.

Thanks bro, but this time I am looking for i5 or Ryzen 5… … Help me finding a deal around 30-35k…
my 12yr old laptop was not booting, i checked RAm and it was dead
Maybe ram isn’t inserted properly…. Take out and insert again… If you got two try swapping them…
1. Clean Ram with rubber the golden part which goes into socket due to carbon the ram may not be functioning or clean with wd40 or isopropyl (99% ) on whole ram ….
2 . Some issue in board some connection may be loose…
3. Whichever company’s laptop u have there is specific pattern for blinking of light according to that problem occurs …
Check that ….
When you are plugging in power does the power indicator lights on?
Have you ever changed the laptop battery?
Did your laptop make a beep sound when at starting of BIOS? Does it make any beep noise now?
Somebody help please
