Dear All

 

I have a C720-2848.

 

It worked fine until recently and is now OOW.

With known good ac adapters, it will not charge and no LEDs light up.

 

It will not boot on battery or ac

 

No LEDs ever light up.

 

Have tried hold pwr button for 30s (does not help)

 

Have tried pwr+refresh (does not help).

 

Any other suggestions?

 

I know I can send it in for evalution and repair for about $120 but I am hoping to get it fixed myself.

 

Thank you,

 

R

    I'm not positive, but I'd look into the possibility that there's a cable disconnected between the power jack and the mainboard. If power doesn't get through it can't charge the battery and can't run on the AC adapter.

    I have taken it apart and reseated the battery. It now shows a orange LED while charging but still wont boot.

    Anything to try next?
