Post subject: winbook won't boot |
 |
|
HI
My winbook xl 233 mhz won't boot up. I had some trouble reading the c drive, so I cut all power, pulled it out and cleaned it with electronics cleaner. When I put it back in, I couldn't boot up. When I power up, the start lights flash, I hear the c: start running, the processer gets warm, but that's it. No monitor, no bios code, no cd rom, it doesn't scan the a: Nothing happens. I tried to reset the cmos by removing the jumper on j
19, powering up, shutting down and replacing the jumper, but it didn't help. Can anyone help me? Should I junk the laptop?
John

The product is called Imperial pro circuit board cleaner. It contains dichlorofluoroethane, co2 and isopropanol. I did spray some on the motherboard near j19 and the battery (which is soldered to the motherboard).

I gave it about 3-5 min. to dry.
