Hello
I just acquired a laptop from a friend for repair if possible. He bought it from craigslist so we don't know much about the specs except it does have a 3gb hard drive and 8 gb ram with win 8, it is a Hp envy dv6 with beats audio, hp protect smart, Hp simple pass, and Ab vision Amd. That's all I know. What happened was it was working ok till I got a screen that said no operating system. I figured the hard drive was bad. I opened the computer pulled the plug on the hard drive and the cmos battery came disconnected at the same time. I had already had the main battery out and power cord disconnected. Now when I put everything back I just get a black screen with nothing, The power light comes on, the cap light blinks, the wireless signal light is on steady but no nothing else, except the cpu fan is running. does not appear to have anything else working. I have tried a hard reset and no help. Can anyone give me some good helpful suggestions. I just hope the mobo is not bad at this point. Thanks for reading and any suggestions.
