First off, I know I'm new so don't rag on me for being ignorant. Computers aren't really my thing so I don't hang out on related forums.
Although a recent problem has me stumped and was hoping that someone here could point me in the right direction.
I've done several searches, but came up empty, maybe because I'm not totally sure what the problem is and didn't word it correctly.
I have a Compaq Presario that has went into sleep mode and it won't wake up. I've shut it off and turned it back on several times. When it comes on, the monitor turns on for 3 seconds then goes into sleep mode and the computer is usless, nothing works.
Is there something I can do or is it just a paper weight now?
I've taken it to a repair place and they said it was the motherboard, but I have a gut feeling they didn't even look at it and just took my money and told me they couldn't fix it.
Sorry for being short, but if more detail is needed I'll gladly add. Hope someone can at least point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance.
