Laptop sat for 4 months. Right after charging it, I booted it up and got a BSOD then after about 3 hours I could be up and on internet for 10 - 20 minutes. Rebooted like ten times on it's own. I downloaded the flash bios and it never finished flashing. Waited an hour before removing the battery and no no lights nothing upon reboot. I'm assuming it tried to reboot during the flash process. Tried re-seating internal memory, tried the hold power button down 20 secs, then new stick of memory. Now I want to try resetting the jumper but need to see some schematic or directions on getting to the pin location. HP zt3000. Any help?

Look for Ragefury. He's the best hardware guy in NYC. Ask him what to do.
