I would greatly appreciate any advice from anyone out there. I recently bought a HP Compaq NX9005 laptop with Windows XP home edition on it, but it has a fault and I do not have a boot-up disk for it.
When powered up the two blue power lights come on, the screen is blank and it will shut down for about 4 or 5 times and will then stay on with the two blue lights on but with the screen still blank.
It will not go into Bios. I have also tried changing the H/D from another model (same), no luck. Have checked that the Ram is seated ok. Could it be the Cosmo battery. have also tried on both mains and battery.

if you recently bought, then you should have a warranty, if you do, just send it back and get a different one. As far as the boot up disk, you would have to install the operating system your self to obtain one. But as far as that goes, i would just send it back and get a new one.

Some info here on that Business Computer:

cards, press the reset button

reconnect power and try again.

Remove all but one SDRAM
module and try again. Reinsert
any other SDRAM module and
try again.

Likely Causes:

AC adapter
SDRAM module.
CPU module
Switchboard PCA
Motherboard
Display assembly
Hard drive

Comments:

Check AC adapter.
Remove all but one
SDRAM module and
try again.
If the power status
light does not turn
on, reprogram the
BIOS, and replace
the top case, replace
the motherboard.
If power status light
turns on but display
remains off, try
external monitor. If
monitor shows
successful boot,
replace display
assembly. If monitor
shows activity but
BIOS does not
complete, replace
display assembly.
If monitor is blank,
replace switchboard
PCA, replace
motherboard.
If power status light
and display turn on,
BIOS completes, but
OS does not start
from hard disk or
floppy drive, replace
CPU module, replace
motherboard. If OS
starts from floppy
drive, reload hard
drive, replace hard
drive.

Not sure exactly what you mean but if it is a removable part you should be able to find one.
