Laptop troubleshooting help...

I have a hp zt1000 laptop that refuses to boot. With the a/c power supply plugged in, all the external lights come on, such as the front panel back-lights, the a/c power light, even the battery light with and without the battery in (amber- not green). Other than the lights, there is no action in this laptop at all. I do not hear the fan or the hard drive running. Nothing is displayed on the screen.

I have tried to reseat the memory within the laptop and I have also tried pushing the reset button. I have tried taking the dvd drive and the hard drive out and starting, but still nothing. HP claims that it could be static that is holding it up. I went through their procedure to remove it, and of course nothing.

So, could this be bad RAM, bad mobo... bad everything...?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Matt

Welcome to TechIMO.

You should probably post this in the Tech Section.

No problem.

I'm hoping it's not that. :-(
