motherboard gone? clevo w860cu

[nefariouscaine]

currently assuming its the motherboard right now but figure i would at the least post this up before I send off to spend more money on a repair

lappy is clevo/sager w860cu as mentioned in my other post

have tested the gpu with a new one so I'm counting that out for now...

but here is what happened and happenes now

went to work - left lappy playing hulu with someone that refused to touch it before I left even though I told them too

came home - lappy still on - no sound/video, nadda

powered off and powered back on and now it won't even post to boot

swapped memory so thats ruled out unless the "test" memory was bad too

lappy will "power" on but immediately shuts down (say 3 seconds or so) and the power light does come on in that time but thats the only activity except fans

will show like its charging the battery with the A/C plugged in

thoughts on this?

hi i am 95% sure that the problem is actually your proccesor and when there is no cpu in a computer then the computer does not post and that will cause the processor to shut of after like 1 seconds or so. hope this helps

WTF? 95% you shouldn't give computer advice. D:

Try booting into safe mode or with a Linux CD maybe.

I also doubt it is the CPU. Could be motherboard, power supply, or even maybe a peripheral device that is suddenly defective and prevents booting.

I was going to say gpu but you said you tested that. Is this a laptop that you can replace the GPU?? Are you sure the GPU you put in to test is compatible with the laptop you are using?

Could you give us some more information such as model of GPU and CPU, how old the machine is, were you having any problems previously, etc.

Remove all option components. Re-seat everything in the laptop, if the problem persist I would replace the motherboard.
