Hi all
I Have an Amilo L7310GW which will not boot. When I press the power button the battery indicator light comes on, green, the hdd light flicks for a split second, goes off, then a stable wireless indicator light comes on for a few seconds, the hdd clicks, hdd indicator flashes, then the cycle starts again. This will happen 10 times before the Amilo remains stable with just the wireless indicator and the green battery indicator (cable not plugged in). During this time the lcd remains blank.
Things tried:
1 Tried an external monitor.
2 Removed battery, plugged cable in.
3 Reseated Ram, swapped them around.
4 Tried to enter bios.
5 Tried to boot up from DVD (with a linux type boot disc).
6 Checked for dust and fluff in cpu fan (working).
7 Turned on without the hdd.
NOTHING
Gut feeling is that it is a graphics card/lcd monitor issue. However I need a disassembly manual for this model before I can proceed further.
Any help with this would be extremely appreciated.
Thanks for reading
