CL56 doesn't start up

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Hi,
I have a Compal CL56 that doesn't start up since yesterday. When I press the power button the power led is on and you can hear the fan at 100% as usual. Then the fan goes off after a short time but the screen stays black. You can hear the harddisk working for a very short time but nothing happens...
I have to power it off by pressing the button for several seconds. The last thing I did was watching a DVD but it shut down correctly.
The warranty is over and I also had it opened about 1 year ago for inserting an internal bluetooth module.
Does anybody have an idea what this could be and what I should do or could check?

Perhaps that helps you: The notebook is from germany and at the moment I'm in South Africa and before it didn't power up I charged it but the voltage and everything is the same, other german laptops also work well here.

I got it working by shortening the J1 Jumper thanks to another Thread in this forum.
I'm so happy!!!
