I have a problem with my Compaq laptop. It keeps turning on and off every 5 seconds or so. The screen won't even light up. Does anybody have any ideas on what to do so I can get it up and running??? I'm trying to restore it so I can give it to my parents.
Thanks for any help.
 
Try with batt and without A/C power

Try with A/C power and batt removed

Will the LED (if equipped) come on when A/C is plugged into outlet, but not laptop?
 
Every 5 seconds? :eek: My Compaq (May 2004) would randomly reboot and I found the cooling circuit to be full of dust bunnies. Took the battery out, pulled the plug and "backflushed" shop air through the cooling ducts. Never had another problem. If you're really getting only 5 second runs, you prolly have a different problem...
