Hi there,

my laptop HP ze4354EA does not switch on anymore.
It was perfectly working until two weeks ago, I charged the battery up
to 85% and simply I switched it off.

With the BATTERY IN and the POWER SUPPLY UNPLUGGED, pressing the power
button has no effect: nor noise from the fan, neither LED or LCD
lighted.

With the POWER SUPPLY PLUGGED IN the 220 Vac and BATTERY IN there is
only 1 LED ON (power connected) but still
no activities pressing the power button.

With the POWER SUPPLY PLUGGED IN and without the BATTERY IN, the power
LED is flashing but still not able to switch on.

Pressing the RESET button on the bottom doesn't help.

I also checked the SoDIMM, but thery are in the proper position and
does not show any failure.

What I can check more?
Any experience with this kind of trouble?

Tnx 4 any suggestion.
ZpP

I would check the CMOS battery. Has the clock been running fast before
this happened? If so, it is probably the CMOS battery.

Hi bill,

tnx for your answer.
yes, so far as I remember the clock was fine before the stop. So I
don't think a CMOS issue.

BillW is correct. The CMOS battery can have been at the lowest power
output for quite some time, and now it's output is below the level
needed to support a boot.

Is this a standard battery (i.e. the same for desktop) or something
else?

Tnx
