Hi all..
Just discovered this section of internet, News Groups.
Need help in the repair of a HP DV6-2012AX notebook.
Does not post. All lights on but no initial bost screen.
Anyone know what or where I could find any information to start trouble
shooting the motherboard?
This series is designed andbuild by Quanta computers in taiwan.

any help will be greatly appreciated.


With the lights on the computer, I would assume you mean the power on
light? If there is power, and I would be using the power adapter, it
could be several things. The first thing I would do however is to
remove the RAM and reinstall it after cleaning the gold contacts with a
pencil eraser. A poor contact to the RAM would provide the error you
describe. You might also attach the laptop to another monitor via the
video output connector. It could be your display is the failing part.

Knowing how old the computer was would also be helpful.
