compaq presario v3000 Notebook PC not booting

Hi all,

Laptop compaq presario v3000 is not booting! It just gives 3 beeps and there is no display. All the green LEDs are glowing!

I have "performed a hard reset" as per HP site
Troubleshooting Black Screen Displays with No Error Messages During Startup or Boot Compaq Presario V3115AU Notebook PC - HP Customer Care (United States - English)

but no results. The warranty is over.

Can anybody help me?

3 beeps sound like a serious hardware error. i don't know the compaq "beep codes" but maybe you can find them on the website?!

just found that:
BiosCentral - Compaq BIOS Beep Codes

Thanks for that link!

I will check this out!

good luck...

No luck! Its become very expensive to repair now :mad:

Well, it's a laptop; replacing nearly any peripheral means replacing the entire system board and most things attached to it.

Came know, in this model even if I replace the mother board it wont last long :(. Any suggestions?

For what? Uses for a dead laptop?
