    I had put my laptop in sleep mode, then after a while I tried to wake it up and ... oops! it didn't respond. I then shut it down and it can no longer start up, as it is now.



    I also tried to plug an external monitor, reseat the memory modules. It doesn't work.

    Further describing the symtom. When I pushed the ON button, I got lights and fans sounds, but the hard disk seemed not running, and no further response from any keystroke or mouse click.

    This problem seems like VGA chip faulty.. Can be repair by professional repairer, it may cost you USD$50 - 100. They will change the chip or reballing. Reflow the chip is the shortcut repair then you will get the same problem after couple month.. Its the cheapest in repair cost.

If u see led indicators blinking showing hard disk and cpu working then ur IO controller in motherboard need to be replaced. If no cpu or hdd activity, ur RAM might not be working.

I Have a Compaq V3000 Laptops. The display is very dim. HELP!!

It miight be the backlight for this unit. It all depends on whether the screen came with the backlight. There is a remote chance that the display circuitry on the motherboard is faulty too. Try to plug a monitor into the VGA port and check to see if it is dim there too.

HP Compaq Presario V3000 (V3430AU) PC Notebook Problem: Does not startup or boot, displaying a blank screen. Question: Can I have a mail in or drop in repair service?

If you need to send your PC out for service I would highly recommend CompUSA in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. You can contact them 954-565-1189. This is not the old CompUSA, but one of the stores bought out by Tigerdirect.com last year. Their technical staff is fantastic and very knowledgible and they have very fair prices.
I would first try a couple of things first, though. First, do you hear the fan(s) or hard drive start up and do any lights come on at all? If so, try holding down the F10 key and push the 'on' button. Continue holding down the F10 key until the 'Compaq' screen comes up. You should then get a screen that allows you to choose 'Last known configuration that worked'. (Use the arrow keys and enter button as your mouse won't work on this screen.) If this works, Windows should now boot normally. Go immediately to and 'right click' on My Computer. Go down and 'left click' on Properties. Choose the 'Hardware' tab, then click on 'Device Manager'. Do you see an exclaimation mark next to any listing? If so - right click on that device and choose 'update driver' then just follow the default choices.
If you have no signs of life (no lights or sounds) when you try to start the PC, it's probably a bad power supply (inside) & that probably means a new main board.
If you get lights and sounds (fans, etc.) like it's running normally, but you can't see the screen, it may need a new 'back-light bulb or new screen - probably cheaper than replacing PC.
