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:

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