You can try minimizing the system and leave only main components: motherboard, CPU, memory. I always try that first but.... how many times you seen that HDD or DVD drive or Wi-Fi card or modem locking down the system bus??? Many??? If a laptop will not fire up, most likely this is power related problem: bad AC adapter, bad DC jack, bad motherboard etc... but not modem or wireless card. Patrick,

Trust me when I say that I have just started replacing mother boards, when that wasn't the problem. It took alot of trial and error to discover this. Been working on desktop for 20 years and laptops for 15 years. I hope that helps out anyone that are having these same issues. If any of you have any problem that you can't find answers to, you may email me at spikeselectronics AT yahoo DOT com, please include the brand, type, and the model number of the desktop/laptop that you are working on, and I will do the best I can to help you.

When I try to turn it on the lights come on under the screen but nothing comes up. I hear a slight humming noise but nothing else is happening. Can you please tell me what is wrong with it and how I can fix it? Could it be the fan? Thank you! My tx1000z laptop is not quite turning on, and I was hoping you could help.
