Hello, everyone!
Just like everybody else I hit this forum due to my HP NC6000 failure. I'll try to be as specific as I can.
As I was using my notebook one evening, the display went into black, and I couldn't control the situation from the keyboard or anything. I was using also a stand-alone monitor at that moment.
I tried to Ctrl-Alt-Del but nothing happened. I turned it off from the ON/OFF button and tried to turn it back on.
Pressing the ON/OFF I got BLUE and ORANGE LEDs lighten and FAN at high speed. Nothing on the screen and the notebook turned itself off in about 6 seconds.
After reading this topic on my cell phone's screen I have tried many of the solutions described here. Booted with and without
- battery
- cd-rom
- ram
- hdd
- keyboard
- touchpad
- modem
- fan
And nothing helped.
Still one of the advices here lead me to success.
Better screwing the top left screw of the fan case.
It seems indeed that there is a contact problem leading to a missing ground connection. That's why maybe many of you succeeded by pressing the keyboard in a specific area. Maybe you were just making that contact work.
Back to the solution now. You have to get the reparations manual in order to properly make your way inside.
You have to remove the keyboard, ON/OFF and WiFi buttons plate and the metal sheet underneath.
Now you can see in the top left the FAN. In its top left there is a screw that makes contact with Motherboard. That screw needs to be very strongly screwed.
I have to mention that lately I have traveled a lot with my laptop and also for about a month my FAN didn't work due to some dust accumulation.
All I can hope now is that this solution to last and help as many of you as possible.
