Compaq Presario 1200 (12XL513) won't turn on after flash
Posted: Thu Apr 15, 2010 11:52 pm
I attempted to flash the BIOS on my Compaq Presario 12XL513 with the following
The notebook now won't turn on.
When the AC adapter is plugged in, the 'plug' indicator is on, but the power switch does nothing.
I've tried a number of different keys (Fn+b, Fn+win, win+b, Fn+esc, etc.) to try and get the computer to access the floppy drive and reflash itself, but there doesn't appear to be any response.
Is there anything I can do, or is the entire motherboard useless now?
Thanks.
