Laptop died

Hi i have a compaq presario cq56 hp laptop and it suddenly died on me it boots up to a black screen and the caps light flashers once continually and the f12 button is on solid orange

I read that the CPU is not functioning is there a fix for this and how

Thanks

If your CPU has died the only fix is to replace it.

This video shows you how, but you need to research exactly what you can replace it with first.

Do a search on Google for that.

Thanks, that video was helpful, will look into how much a new CPU is for my laptop


Yes I have done the boot up stuff etc, there wasn't any beeps from the start anyways took the battery out and held the power button etc and still no joy

Thanks for the advice though

You're very welcome.

Please keep us posted. :)

Is there anything seen on the screen at all?

Nope just black

May be the mobo if there are also no beeps. Failed HD would show error on screen,

Failed monitor or display adapter would still show CPU activity including fans, but you can plug in external monitor to be sure.

Failed RAM would give beep codes, but you can swap sticks to be sure.

With failed mobo you can remove the HD to place in another laptop or use external USB adapter cable found inexpensively on Amazon, to copy out your data.

I still hear the fans kicking in
