C600 - Replaced motherboard, now problem!
I replaced a C600 motherboard here at work like I have done a million times. This time when I booted up for the first time, the lights come on but the laptop doesn't. The power and hard drive led lights just blink when on battery. In a docking station it just turns off and undocked and plugged in it just lights up and shuts off. It always lights up with the power and hard drive leds lit and shuts off. No post no nothing.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
It sounds like a suspend switch problem, it thinks the lid is closed, so powers down. The switch is on the motherboard, if you try an external monitor and it works, that should be proof enough. If you look in the Bios you can change a setting that may help, page 6 " lid closed " This may help to confirm the fault.

Hi,
Ignore my earlier post, I thought you said it powered up in the dock........Sounds like a bad MBD

Are you sure new motherboard is good? Sounds like you should be experienced enough to know all the basic tricks which are so often repeated here in the forum.
