Had a customer bring in a HP netbook that you could power on, but nothing would show up on the screen. Apparently this model has a design flaw. I googled and found a couple of solutions you can try before calling HP.
Solution A: Thermal Reset?
Some people have had luck by pulling the battery and puting the netbook in the freezer for a couple of minutes. They claim it works, but I’ve tried this with no luck. Their claims are based on the fact that it resets the thermal censor on the motherboard.
Solution B: Power Cycle
A couple of people have called HP tech support and they had them remove the battery and the ac power adapter. Then hold down the button for 45 to 60 seconds. Then replace the battery and the power adapter. A couple of people said it would power up, really doubt this will work, but who knows. I really believe this is a different problem, maybe like a bad hibernation or sleep mode session.
