Hi,

I'm very new to Tom's Hardware so i'm sorry if i'm at the wrong section or something.
My laptop is an HP Mini 110-3000.
I bought a new motherboard 621300-001 and installed it but somehow it doesn't start at all. I have everything placed correctly and done this 10 times replacing again and again but it just doesn't start. The power button lights up and fan also starts for a sec then shuts down. I have no idea why. I tried setting up the old motherboard again and it starts normally. The old motherboard has a broken HDD Connector pins so i bought a new motherboard.
I have recorded a video hopefully somebody helps me with this problem.

You can skip to 8:23 in the video to see the problem.
Is this a motherboard problem or just something i'm doing wrong? please help.

Thanks
 
Solution
IMO, step 1 is to install ram, processor, usb keybd, and screen and then power on to make sure the board works.

You're also not wearing an anti-static strap.
Make sure the ram and wifi card are in good. Double check cpu.
Different laptops require different things to turn on, I have seen some that require the board to be attached to the chaisis, i have seen some that require the screen pluged in, etc.
Tripple check your cables and do a full assembly and see if it works then.


If not then the Mobo you got is a dud
