Right sorry for the confusion. I have tested both a new power adapter and dc socket.
When I take the HDD out the light doesn't flash at all for the HDD.
If changing the inverter does not fix the issue I will buy a new CPU and power adapter and go from there I think.
Yes the power adapter says 19v on it.
Fixed it! Changed the RAM to new modules again and it worked.
wow after all that the ram? I thought you already tested or changed it? My bad, that should have been one of the first things I suggested. Glad you got it going.
I did change the RAM. Then read online someone saying it was definatly RAM so brought a second set of RAM and that worked. Must have just been unlucky with the first set.
Glad it worked, sometimes luck definitely plays a part. Please mark this solved. Have a good day.
