Hello everyone,
I have a Sony lv-240J and I it turns on all the fans spin but then there is no beep, no boot, no display or anything. After a couple of minutes it just turns off. I connected a display to it and nothing. I tried to use it as a display, it gets read but nothing on the screen. It has been like this for 5 years and I just bought a new motherboard and still no results. I tried a new hard drive with windows on it, still nothing. One ram stick and without ram still nothing. I don't know what to do at this point. Please help me as soon as you can. Thank you

Jump to PostBad news I fear. A good motherboard is usually all it takes to bring back a dead laptop. However try the following.
- NEW CMOS BATTERY. Cheap.
- A reset like this. Unplug AC, battery, then press and hold the power button for 60 seconds. Release, apply battery, power and re-test. …
Jump to PostWIthout a motherboard would not make sense as the reset resets something or some motherboards.
As to the battery, I've yet to see a PC without a CMOS battery or a means to power the RTC and settings chip. If you didn't find it, you likely missed it or can't …
Jump to PostThat reset is generic and you roll with the changes. Try it without the battery, try it without power for sure. The key here is you must try. This is not what Yoda said. You must try.
