Replaced the motherboard on XPS 8500, now no visible display?

A week ago, my XPS 8500 just stopped turning. The power button is Orange fixed, which is a problem I've met about 3 months ago. At this point, I ran across a lot of troubleshooting here, replaced the original motherboard, PSU and HDD. I finally got the system running and upward and he ran for 3 months until light solid amber shown once again at the top.

I assumed it was the motherboard once again, and I have fortunately my 90th day of a warranty of 90 days, so was a replacement motherboard sent to me. I just installed the new motherboard, the amber light has disappeared, I have a white power lights up once more, then I guess it's good news, but I get nothing on my screen.

I have read some other posts and contracted / reset CMOS battery and also reinstalled everything on the Board with no luck. I was hoping someone could suggest other ideas?

Thank you!

  • Want to 800-060: reactivation after replacing the motherboard

    I bought a HP Envy 800-060 with Windows 8 pre - install Amazon in July of 2013. It was an incredible computer since that time, and when the free update of Windows 8 for Windows 10, I did immediately released. Recently, however, the motherboard has failed on the computer. It would not stay same POSITION, and after much troubleshooting, I finally decided to replace the motherboard. Now that the computer is running again, I guess that the motherboard change was sufficient for the operating system to think that it is no longer enabled. I was never provided with a key of Activation of OS (Win8 has been pre-installed), and Microsoft has suggested that I contact HP to find the original key. I've looked everywhere on the chassis and inside the tower for a valid Windows activation key, nothing helps. I tried to find a phone number to call for support, but my product is outside the guarantee. I don't need advice or troubleshooting tips (so I don't pay the $59.99), all I need is my activation key valid Windows based on my serial number of the product. Anyone know the best way to achieve HP with this problem and have it is resolved?

    Thanks in advance!

    The unfortunate, is that your original product key has been incorporated in the firmware original by HP motherboard UEFI when the PC was built.  There is no way to recover this key now.

    HP retains no record of keys to individualized product corresponding to individual computers, so they won't be able to provide you with the original key - and they are under no obligation to provide you with a SECOND key, that you didn't do the replacement of HP hardware.

    With the product now being out of warranty, it's really call HP or not you upload support - and the experience I have had with older equipment-, they do that, there's just no way around IDs.

    HP customer support is really the only way you have to get support.  If they don't help you for free, because your PC is out of warranty, there is nothing we can do about it on this forum.

  • Replacing the motherboard on the Satellite L750 - 16 X

    Hello

    I am trying to replace the motherboard on a L750-16 X. I think that I need this A000080670 card, which is available. Under the RAM slots the sticker says A0000806709B141422W. I'm not sure of what the average figures and additional letters and I was wondering if anyone knew if it is compatible.

    Thank you very much

    Unfortunately, it is not easy to help you with this. As you probably know it's user forum for this kind of info is not easy to find.
    I don't know where you want to get the new motherboard, but if you want to buy it by some authorized service they should now what they offer.

    I don't know if anyone here has the same machine and can help you with this. What you can try is to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider in your country and ask for help.

  • a610n - fan error of the system after replacing the motherboard

    Hi all

    I just replaced the motherboard on my system (phone http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware/M2N68-LA-Narra-2-Replacement/td-p/3711774) and now I get this error when starting: Fan failure system, PC service to avoid any damage. I thought it was the CPU fan but he was running and after some research, I realized that he could talk a case fan.

    As a side note, the motherboard, I had was a little different and missing 2 connections that seem to be the front mic/headphone and USB ports.

    Now, the case's fan then what really is the problem? Any ideas anyone?

    Thank you

    -Panos

    The rev3.02 of M2N68 - THE Committee a case fan rear 3 poles. See here.

    The CPU fan is a 4 pin cable and attaches to the appropriate header to 4 pins on the motherboard. See the representative schema above.

    As for you, another question, the front USB port attaches to a USB connector on the card.

    What is your advice? Can I replace the motherboard? Is it a long way? Or is it better to find another laptop?

    According to my notes, 63y1545 is a T510 Board with integrated graphics (Intel). The other 2 boards are W510 boards. They are all the same size and shape, but W510 boards have 4 memory slots and use a different cooling fan. The W510 is a nice machine and worth it if you can get a good price on a Board and fan of fixing.

  • How to re-enable Windows 7 after replacing the motherboard.

    I managed to replace the motherboard in an Acer Aspire v3 and all is well (or almost).

    Only problem is that Windows 7 requires now that I'm using an illegal copy of Windows.

    I know that the reason is that the version of Windows OEM is selected with the original motherboard.

    I talked to both supports of Microsoft and Acer support several times but neither can or reactivates my windows. Is it really to do I have to pay for a new product key as a consequence of a repair?

    Hello

    That said, that the next question is if I can solve the problem by buying a new product key?

    Yes, look at this response from Microsoft.

  • Windows will not start after replacing the motherboard

    To begin, I must say that I am pretty clueless when it comes to computer skills.

    To summarize, I sent my CPU to a repair shop when my computer has stopped working. I removed my hard drive before starting the repairs because it contains confidential data.  They have narrowed the cause to a faulty motherboard and replaced by a new dissimilar.
    At the store, the guy had a vista 64 bit recovery disc so I have it home and tried to fix it. He said it will be a breeze and relatively bug free. As part of the Startup Repair, I tried to drive the Startup Repair, and tests were all successful except one. An error of diagnosis readings
    "Unspecified system configuration changes may have caused the problem.
    Repair action: repair and checking the integrity of system files
    Result: failed. Error code 0 x 490
    time taken = 720023 ms
    Everything I've done has led to a brief blue screen to the Windows loading screen and then it restarts itself.
    I also tried to restore to the previous two points, but it has also led to the square - a brief blue screen after the loading screen and restarts on its own windows. I'm not ready to reinstall vista and I can't afford to do it too, because I don't have enough disk space to perform another installation. Nor am I willing to reformat one of my two disks.
    If you need additional information on the specifications of the material that must be provided, ask me.
    IM at my end intelligence now, and I really hope to solve this problem.
    Thank you.

    Hello

    I'm sorry, but you have to completely reinstall the operating system after replacing the motherboard with a different motherboard.

    "Startup Repair" is exactly that: a start NOT a repair system repairs

    What has happened, it is the operating system on your hard disk contains the drivers for the old motherboard and does not and you can't change drivers in doing what you do.

    The only way to solve this problem is to reinstall Vista.

    You wipe the hard drive and restart and make sure that the repair shop gave you the disc to install the new drivers of motherboard after you reinstall vista or download on the website of the manufacturer of the motherboard.

    And here a question for you to consider, too.

    If you bought a copy of Vista retail yourself, you can use the method above to a new installation and then install the new disk motherboard drivers.

    But, if your computer is a trademark of purchased manufacturer, HP, Toshiba, etc., you can not change the motherboard that the license of Vista OEM is stuck at motherboard the origin of the manufacturer that it has been installed on and now you canceled your Vista license.

    See you soon.

  • Replace the motherboard only Windows 7

    My tale of woe: my wife and I love to play Poker Online and communicate with our children and grandchildren by e-mail and Skype.  However, it seems that because we bought a laptop Compaq CQ61 cheap Gray online auctions, we are now in a bit of a pickle.  We bought the laptop used with 12 months warranty from factory and it lasted 18 months only, in other words just out of warranty.  The laptop wouldn't turn on one morning and had a horrible smell of burning plastic, I myself am immediately turned it off.  Be retired we could not afford a new laptop, so I decided to have a look for me to see if I could do something.

    After a few hours of disassembly of the laptop, I discovered that there was an area on the motherboard that has been burned to a crisp.  Being somewhat handy I looked on ebay and to my surprise, I found an exact match for the motherboard to $160. Do not think of any other possible consequences, I ordered the M/B as the cheapest option.  About a week later the renovated Intel M/B happened and I went to transfer the old M/B to the new items.

    About a day later I pressed the button ON and to my amazement, he lit in windows 7.  This is where my problems started.  After a few starts, it displays all of a sudden in the bottom right of the screen:

    Windows 7
    Build 7601
    This copy of windows is not genuine

    As well as this occasionally at the start, he appears with the message saying "this copy of Windows is not genuine" and shows a screen trying to find a solution.

    I called the center of Activation Microsoft phone and told me that this copy of windows is linked to the M/B.  The M/B is the only bit that I replaced.  It has the same processor and the heat sink, has the same fan, he has the same drive, the same same chip memory 2 GB, it has the same wireless card but because the motherboard has been changed, now it's different.

    This sound like the old problem of axe. The handle has been changed seven times and the head was changed three times, but I know it's the same axe because I cut down a tree with her and it's the only one I have.

    The Microsoft representative said that if I had a windows recovery disk, he might have able to help me, but the only disc that was given to me with the laptop was a cardboard cut-out, explaining how to do a restore of Windows 7 and make a recovery disk.  He also said that I could simply ignore the message.

    The only other problems I have is that my HDD ATA internal and my CD/DVD drive now appear in devices and printers
    and as an icon to remove the device safely on my taskbar.  Research on the forum, this could be a problem of drivers.
    The only number on my laptop is Presario CQ61 on the front and Serial No. CNF9122FQP and a product no. NT350EA #ABU on the back on the tile and the lower part of the HP Support Assistant.  None of these numbers present on the HP site.

    Does anyone know what are my options, can I get a CD of windows 7 HP recovery, if so how? If I do get one then I'll be able to re-activare my copy of Windows 7.  If it sparkles on my only options would be to load a legitimate copy of Windows 2000 that I have or load Ubuntu 11.04, advice?

    This produced many leads here:

    HP recovery disks will not work on a motherboard not original. Ubuntu may be your best choice if you can not afford the retail of Windows 7.

  • Qosmio F10: RAM upgrade issue after replacing the motherboard

    In 2006, when my F10 - 128 fell down as a fault of the video card, Toshiba has replaced the motherboard (865 PM) of my F10 by a new one with the video card installed in Go 6600.
    When I came back, I noticed that the same RAM modules have been installed (2 x 512 MB DDR 333 Mhz) as I previous had on the old motherboard.

    Then, I assumed that I could easily upgrade to DDR2 RAM, I realized that this type of RAM supported by the new motherboard installed (915 PM?). But the modules DDR2 Ram (Kingston 1 GB SODIMM (KVR533D2S4 - 1 G) 533 MHz) that I ordered is simply not in the storage media... The notch in the module is placed differently that the modules of RAM DDR.

    If the jury has been replaced by a newer version, with the video card Go 6600 (PCIexpress), how is, I have a Council that can not support DDR2?

    Here, I am really confused. Someone at - it advice please?

    > If the jury has been replaced by a newer version, with the video card Go 6600 (PCIexpress), how is, I have a Council that can not support DDR2?
    I think the jury is still supported DDR2 memory modules, but the allocation of the memory pins could be different.
