Can you see same problem on the external video or it works properly? <blockquote>I am curious thou is there anyway I can use this as a project and possibly rebuild it? Replace the system board and reuse the detachable parts to reconnect it?</blockquote> You can, but first you have to find out if the problem is related to the video card failure or not. That's why I'm asking you to test the laptop with external video. If you see the same problem on both screens, the laptop LCD and external monitor, this is the video card failure. If this problem appears only on the laptop screen but external video is fine, this could be the video cable or LCD screen failure. Tara,

It will not start with the power cord and the battery does not charge. I purchased a replacement power cord and still will not charge the battery or start the machine.

Usually you can find a fuse somewhere close to the power jack. Test it with a multimeter and if the fuse is open, replace it with a new one. David Gohr,

In order to turn on a notebook, you need three main components: motherboard, CPU and memory. CPU doesn't fail very often and you've replaced the motherboard.

About a year ago a child of mine got ice cream on the power button. It worked fine for the most part after I cleaned it up with a dry rag but the issue now is that the computer will not turn on. I went to a tech who told me that I more than likely blew the power chip that sits under the power button that you press. HP says that I am crazy and it has to be the motherboard. What I want to know is this, can it simply be that the power chip went out and needs to be replaced if that is the case how can I find the part number when the sticker came off with the ice cream? Also the ribbon that leads from the power chip under the keyboard is crimped pretty bad so I think that I would have to replace that too but I still can not find a site to tell me what the part numbers are for this situation. REMEMBER the computer worked perfectly until I shut it off to take it home and when I tried to reboot it it would not turn on. The motherboard has been checked so I know that it is fine is there a way that you can help me find the parts that I need to fix the laptop. I have a Compaq Presario F750us.
