Was playing poker earlier today on my laptop (emachines 6805, 2.5 years old out of warranty) and the screen went dim suddenly. I could still watch the tables with sound, but I had no control over the touchpad and no lights were on (indicating charging, power, sound, etc..) I couldnt even use the power button to turn it off so I pulled the battery and tried to restart and nothing happened. No lights indicating that the laptop was plugged in ccame on, just darkness.
After taking it apart to check for burnt transistors or any loose wiring, I put it back together and it posted with a keyboard error, (although the keyboard worked) would load up until the Windows XP screen where it would give a blue screen and restart. I cannot write the code down because its instantaneously restarts.
Might give it one more try tomorrow and make sure I put it back together right but what could this be?
Im hoping its a short somewhere but I really think that the motherboard might be toast.
Thanks for any replies
