HP G61 powers on but no display

Today a customer called us regarding there HP G61 laptop which when she turned it on lights and fans came on but didn't display anything on the screen. After many attempts she decided it wasn't going to fix itself and arranged us to collect it. The first thing we always try is removing all power (adapter, battery) and hold down the power button in this state for 30 seconds. Then replace the adapter without the battery and the laptop will usually boot as normal. Once its booted restart and re insert the battery and use as normal.

This works is many instances including this one, what actually happens is static charge builds up within the capacitors of the laptop sometimes to such a degree the laptop will not function properly. Holding down the power button with the adapter and battery not it will disperse them allowing the laptop to once again work correctly. She was happy to have it back so quick and at a minimal charge as well as some advice she can use in future should it happen again.

Laptop Battery Charge Issue

First thing this morning I had a lady who was in need of a diagnosis of a laptop battery not charging. She plugged the adapter in and the battery would intermittently charge.

After getting it back to the work shop I removed the battery completely as with most laptop repairs ruling out what is working often is the quickest way to diagnose the problem. After removing the battery and using just the adapter to power on the laptop there was no power. I then tested my compatible adapter which powered it on straight way, I put the battery back in and my adapter charged the laptop fully with no issues. The issue was a failing adapter wire and I sourced a suitable one for her laptop, if you find yourself in this situation try find a friend with a suitable adapter and test it yourself.
