Thank you so much. You made my day. My mom’s laptop didn’t react at all, but I could see the power jack light going on. It seems one of the cables from STEP 14 (the second one from the left) was out of it’s place…

YES! I will first share with you than reassemble computer back: i simply recconect ribbon cable from power button assembly, but not on motherboard but on button part itself – and now powering for the first time. !!! i didn’t put cable right on original location but clamp it half mm out , and its working.

To add: red lamp became white upon couple hours of charging. Its look like power button stuck . but now, using this manual , i disconect it from board and recconect, (in case that power button remains engaged) and nothing. Like there is no power. But charging indicate white led.

Which screws did you take off from where, because this laptop has four different sizes and I dont want to break anything.

Hey there. Great tutorial. I followed most of it to get the keyboard changed out (something wrong with ctrl key, doesn’t turn off), but now for some reason, the laptop doesn’t power on. Did i put the screws in wrong? Is there a screw that’s supposed to be a ground? Just can’t figure it out. I have the COMPAQ CQ62.

Thanks – really, really great guide; really helped with daughter’s G62 – fan was full of dust. Some corrections / observations:
– The DVD drive on my model was fixed in with a screw not shown on yours; (I nearly busted trying to pull it out).
– You _have_ to remove the wireless card if you are removing the main board.
– nearly all the screws are M2.5 x 6 except the rear screws in the battery compartment which are M2.5 x 4 and the rear corners which are much longer M2.5, and the Wireless which is smaller – worth noting if you get your screws in a muddle.
– My model has the stock Intel integrated graphics. It is connected to a laughably small aluminium (?) case-mounted heat sink via a scrappy thermal pad. I am going to try replacing the pad with a copper shim and some thermal paste. Hopefully this will solve any remaining overheat problems.
