asked on

Can i "jump" start a dv9000, like you would by touching the correct jumps on a desktop mobo?

If you short the correct 2 pins on a desktop motherboard with saay a screwdriver, you caan start it up etc..

Can you do the same on a laptop, reason i ask is because the power ribbon cable is a bit damaged at one end so i have no way of starting it, i have disembbled the laptop and wat to see if it now starts.

Not sure though, but the points where the power cable plugs, how many are they? How many pins are projecting out there? If they are a couple, you can try locating which are the ones that are connected to the power switch and try shorting them.

Risks implied : Do at your own risk! don't do if not sure!
