I have an X1000 that has been working beautifully for years. However as of last week it does not power on at all - no lights when power up button is pressed at all. I've removed the battery, purchased a new AC adapter to try that to no avail. I have opened up and reseated memory under the keyboard, the HD and the 802.11b/g mini PCI card, still same issue. I have also tried holding down the power button for a minute with no AC adapter/no battery, then plugging in the AC adapter..same response (i.e., none).
Any suggestions? MB crapped out?

Are there any technical repair manuals available for this computer so I can attempt to repair? I'm wondering if it could be the power connector itself, if it is now dislodged from the motherboard..was going to open it up to see..
good manual, its about 4 mbhttp://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c00072544.pdf (http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c00072544.pdf)
Have you tries replacing the small RTC battery?
It's under a small 1" square panel on the bottom of the notebook, next to the Model # label.
I've had PCs that won't boot when that battery dies, since it keeps the BIOS memory alive.
