compaq qc 60 dead

[jimmymack]

Hiya Fellas

Newbie here. Got a compaq qc 60 which had the nvidia fried gpu fault.
Ie flashing power led no boot etc.
Got a used board and rebuilt although its got a damaged zif socket on the power button ribbon that wont lock. Lappy fired up and loaded windows but after 10 mins pictue died followed by all leds .
Now no power at all although led is lit on power jack.

Not good on component level faults but im tired of ditching things because I cant trace the the Could the loose power ribbon have caused a fault or was the used board duff.
Any help appreciated especially a beginners guide to fault finding dead power probs.

Thanks

Ps although power button ribbon is loose its not that as I had to put pressure on it to boot.

Do you mean CQ60? Pretty sure I have a board here I could maybe sell if you're interested.

Thanks for the offer may take you up on it if I get nowhere.

Think it might be the Zif connector as im getting 5 volts there.
Ordered a new one see how I get on.

Cheers
