I just soldered on a new power port onto my HP Pavilion N5430 motherboard
and everything seemed to go ok. When I pluged it back in I could hear the
power running throught it. I turned it on (forgot to put in the RAM) and
it started to power up, then BEEP-BEEP-BEEP BEEP. I can still here the
electricity when the power cord is plugged in, but nothing happens when I
try and power on (put the RAM back in and tried; still to no avail).

Can't seem to find the BEEP CODE online; can anyone point me in the right
direction?

TIA

looks like those codes are for a Pavilion 7x series, whereas I have the
N5xxx series.

Would I get a beep code every time I try and turn it on? It only
happened on the first try and now there is no response when I press the
power button.

I'm thinking I've killed another.

Thx for the help though

What brand of BIOS does the laptop have? AMI? Phoenix? etc.

I don't think I can find that out w/o being able to boot the laptop. I
would have checked before I tried the repair, but the power port crapped
out and the battery doesn't work, so I just went to town on it.

I'm under the assumption that if it were a BEEP CODE, I would get it
every time I try and power up. In my case, it only happen on the initial
power up (after the repair) and now the machine is completely
unresponsive when I press the power button.

I may have neglected something when I put it back together; I was hoping
the BEEP CODE would point me to the problem, but I'm thinking I just
trashed another machine. Good thing it was my GFs.
