I have a Compaq M700 that when i plug in the ac adapter the power button lights turn on and off with no display on the screen at all. does anyone know the solution?

I could not quite understand what you are trying to say. Are you saying when you plug in the ac adapter to the power supply? Also is it when you turn on the computer does nothing come on the screen? I think more people may be able to help you if you explain your problem a little more.

i think that i have the same problem. the battery is good and its geting power but it wont power on when i press the power butten and the power light jest flashes orange. what might the problem be?

I just resurrected my Armada M700 by removing the RTC (CMOS) battery for about 10 minutes and reinserting it. Before when pushing the on button, only the battery light would come on and shut off after about 5 seconds. I thought it was a goner.

The RTC battery for the M700 is beside the modem. I got the maintenance and service guide off the internet - here's the link, just save it to your hard drive.

It's very informative and tells you most everything you'd want to know about taking it apart.

Hope this helps some of you.
