Tried booting it by jumping it instead of pressing the power button, check everything is plugged in internally, then call hp support.

Never buy consumer tier hp, its garbage

OP here, what do you mean by jumping? Do I have to short some pins of the battery or do something else?

Yes on the mother board where the power switch would usually jump it you touch it with a pin or something. Wear a rubber glove and use a sewing pin.

>the previous owner removed it
They probably removed it because the laptop is a dud and they can sell the battery separate.

Probably true, but I got two of these, two more different laptops and a box full of boards for 20€, so I can't complain.

>job lot of duds/"not tested" shit
Main problem with those is most of the time all the good stuff has already been stripped so even the resale value of the parts you can salvage isn't that great.
You might get lucky though and be able to swap the motherboard from one to the other laptop if you got two the same and say a broken screen or missing shit on one.

I somehow managed to find a 2 GB stick of DDR2 in one, also I'll keep the network card and the DVD drives and sell them separately. I also found a windows 7 x86 DVD, which is not much considering the fact that I have a legit Ultimate license, but whatever.

If the screens are not broken you might get away with selling those as replacements for people with broken ones. Though you will have to be able to at least get to a bios screen to even test them, which is the hard part.

I think i'll sell them untested, I still can make the money back.
