This laptop comes up, with no video, but seems to power up fine.
It has 512 MB, and I swap that out for 2GB, both of which gives no change
No Hard drive in it currently.
I get 4 beeps, but no video. External gives no video either, but not sure if its the cable, or the laptop.
Any ideas?
yes, all lights come up on the top.
Ideas?

A search for HP and beep codes came up with this link at HP's site:
http://h10010.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02222922&lc=en&cc=uk&dlc=en
Which suggests there was a failed BIOS update or the BIOS has become corrupted.

I actually figured it out this morning. I found a link somewhere, that suggested the keyboard.
it was, I reset the cable connection underneath, the display came up without a problem.
Now I just have to find the damn elbow connector I took out months ago when I was getting ready to tear it apart.
However, now SC 7.9 is showing a CMOS Pattern failure, which I think I will have to switch the battery on.
Thanks Colin!
