I have a Compaq Presario CQ56 laptop that won't turn on. I've tried taking out the battery and unplugging it, holding the power button down for a minute then putting it back together again, but this does nothing. Any suggestions? Thanks.
 
Thanks for the reply. Yes that stuff appears to be fine. I don't think a broken HDD would stop the entire laptop from turning on anyways.
 
However a defective battery or RAM would. Have you received any post beeps the last time your computer was on?
 
Hi Twinbird24,

I saw your posting about a Presario CQ56 as I work for HP. It appears that after receiving very good feedback, you still can't determine why your notebook will not turn on. If you send your contact information, and the product number and serial number of your CQ56, I can escalate your issue to our Canadian team for some one to contact you. My email is: [email protected], ATTN: Priscilla.

Thanks for the help but I don't think I will be sending any email regarding this.
I've taken the laptop apart and looked at the mobo, it seems fine. I'm going to clean it up a bit just to make sure. So either:
1) The mobo (or part of it) is dead
2) The adapter provides enough voltage but does not provide enough current (in which case I will need something to test the current or rent/ buy a new adapter to to test)
