    My friend has a D800, and its not powering on, he plugs in the A/C, puts on the power button, the led lights go on for a second, then thye go off, the screen is blank, and theres no sounds of it powering on, he says it was when a techie installed a new screen wrong and it could have shorted out hte mobo, is there any other explination for this strange problem?

    there's no need to bump the thread after 2 hrs.

    if a tech did it, he should contact the tech again. it's on him to fix it.

    who swapped out the LCD ?

    lemme clarify my first post... what i meant was that if a tech broke your computer, he should fix it.

    did you take it to shop or have a warranty repair or send it in or have a friend do it or ?

    that's the person you should be talking to.

    if you're comfortable opening your notebook, you can take a look inside to see if anything is unplugged or disconnected.
