[olpc-community-support] screen does not come on

[mamei52]

Here is my version of Richards recommended procedure:

1. When the battery is inserted a short yellow flash of the battery light is noticed, when power button is pushed the power light comes on, battery light is dark no yellow flash and no screen.

2. Exactly the same thing happens when the power cord is plugged in without the battery in place.

3. When the battery and power cord are inserted the battery indicator is lit up green, no additional yellow flash after the power button is pushed, battery indicator stays lit green as well as the power light but no screen.

I repeated these steps several times with the same result and my observation are consistent with others. The question is what to do next.  It seems to me the EC does not see any power and therefore the laptop does not boot??

I'm still hoping for a solution instead to write it off as DOA.

Also a big

 to Richard since he is doing this as volunteer.
