so back in March I made this thread asking about motherboard issues with laptops. It all started with me explaining about how both my parents HP dv6000 laptops had motherboard failure. So three days ago I was talking to MS Windows about them, and he said I should try to get them running again. Ok, so I tried turning on my step dad's laptop first. Nothing. I tried it so many times that I got frustrated and thought of the most obscure way to revive it: the Heimlich maneuver. I gave the computer a nice forceful push in the middle of the keyboard and it actually worked! My step dad's laptop was, and still is, running like nothing ever happened to it.
So then came the more-than-impossible task of resurrecting my mothers old laptop. This was to be no easy task considering that it has been sitting in pieces in a box for the past 2 years. So I pulled out the motherboard. It was still in one piece, but the CPU was missing. So I got that and put the heat sink and fan back on it. Then I put the LCD back together. Then I just installed the RAM and CD drive, and plugged it in. Of course, it didn't work. This also frustrated my to the point that I just started smacking the motherboard with a floppy disk. I tried turning it on again, and it worked! By some miracle of God or some other non-Earthly being, I got both broken laptops with faulty motherboards running again. Very unorthodox.
