The unit was sitting unpowered and unplugged for a few years. When booting PC the system detects an error and goes directly to a start up recovery screen and the on screen options are to start the recovery or cancel.. The problem is I can’t use the touch screen and the mouse and keyboard are not being detected either.. Trying to figure out what happened.. The keyboard and mouse are wireless and the system is a 320 not a 300

HP Touchsmart 300: touchscreen 300 Screen does not stay on

Thu, 27 Aug 2015 15:29:15 -0700

I first got a blue screen and took it to a shop and they mention the ram because after they had it the screen went blank and couldn't get it to show the screen anymore. Turning off and on the power (power is on) the screen remained blank.

I replaced the ram and I got the screen and everything worked. After about 10 minutes the screen went to sleep, but I couldn't get it back on at all. I took the ram out and put it back in and it went on to slowly go off again within a few minutes. I went back in and removed and replaced the ram and it worked each time for a few minutes. What should I do next.

My hp touch smart 300 keeps shutting itself down . I have stripped and cleaned the unit and fans and it still remains the same. I have also added some thermal gel to the cpu and have had no improvement. Should I try a new power adaptor?
