Yesterday, my son's HP wouldn't start. It went immediately into power saver mode and the power button flashed and blinked about every two seconds. I played around with it for a while and reseated the cables, and eventually it started right. He had the same start-up problem this morning. Looking online, there seems to be a variety of things that could cause this. I replaced the little onboard battery, but it still wouldn't start.
After reseating the cards and cables, it decided to start, but the monitor didn't get the news. It's in power saver mode. Apparently, there's no signal getting to the monitor. Even if the card or cable are bad, that shouldn't keep the computer from starting. I'll go out to the garage later and see if I have another monitor cable. I know I have a monitor out there, but I doubt that's the problem.
If I get a definitive solution, I'll let you know.
