Dead HP 35

Thanks guys for your fast responses

And Tony, I live here in Montrose in the outer east of Melbourne :-)
What are the chances of THAT.

I have seperated the shells and inspected the main board and it looks physically PERFECT. The gold keyboard connector pins all look great and are making equal contact.

Tomorrow I will fully seperate the battery box and inspect underneath for corrosion.

I had heard people mention the importance of that GROUND PLATE on the external PSU connector re power. So to understand properly it connects the lower left pin to the lower right pin normally. There was some green corrosion on the earth pin at the top centre when i first started

Wow, I have 25 years of IT repair experience and I STILL cannot upload any attachments in Chrome or Firefox on this website. I would love to send some pictures.

Thanks for your help so far.

Kris.
