- no backlight on screen. no beeps at power on....just the two faint clicks from the HD
- the power supply is rated at 16.25 volts and puts out 15.7 volts.
- there are 8 leds on the front panel, Power, Battery, FDD, HDD, CPU, Caps, Num, Scroll. Only the Power and CPU leds light, none of the others respond to keyboard activity. The Brightness and Contrast slides do not yield any result.
- I removed the HD, same results. While inside, I reseated all cables and plugs, same results.
- I inserted a Win98 (oldest I have) floppy disk in the floppy drive, no activity and same results.
One thing I just noticed....on the AC Adapter, it says "USED IN GRIDCASE 12XX, 13XX, 15XX, GRIDlite 10XX, AND 3403 DRIVE" This machine is a 1450sx model. Suppose it could be the wrong AC Adapter?
Again, thanks for the responses. I just hate to junk this old warhorse of early laptops.
