To sum up, my suggestions to anyone with the "orange light" problem would be:

- Remove the keyboard
- Remove the LED board (unscrew 2 black screws on the back of the laptop)
- Remove the memory and keyboard plates
- Push down hard the lower left corner of the fan assembly (the thick metal around the fan)
- Try booting it on while pushing this part down

If it works, release the fan assembly and if the screen goes off, then you have to make sure this part will somehow remain pressed to avoid the problem from happening. In theory, screwing really hard the keyboard screw close to the fan assembly should do, but not always.

I think it's really a shame for hp that this notebook, which seems quite sturdy, has such a problem with something that's not even broken. No wonder so many people sell this laptop cheap on eBay...

My NC6000 just did the same thing, however I have to press
real hard on the keyboard in the area of the lower left of the
fan assembly and as soon as I relieve pressure it loses its mind.

I guess it is new MB time or ?
