HP G62 continues to boot into selective start up Windows 7?

Question

Recently replaced the lcd and noticed that the power button board had a cracked solder joint where the ribbon cable connects. Carefully re soldered the connection making sure it did not bridge.

Every time 7 boots it goes straight to selective start up like it would after an improper shutdown. I did everything from a clean install of 7 to  Updating the bios and drivers as well. Checking every ribbon connection twice and testing the bios battery. I then tested the hd, memory, and ran the on board diagnostics across it for short start up and long and it came back clean. The only thing that diagnostics does not check is you guessed it shutdown and "the power switch".

Question is would a weakened connection across that switch continuously trip windows 7 to the advanced boot menu or would it possibly be the  LCD I replaced.

Also the error started about two days after the affected repairs giving time for the soldered connection to be flexed and weakened.

Thoughts: Best answer gets the points.

Well since the only hardware change to your system was the LCD replacement and soldering. It could be one of both of these being the problem. I would probably replace the power switch board and if the message stops then that was your problem. Good Luck.

It would have to be one heck of a drop to ruin the hard drive. Product Key Codes are not interchangeable generally because they are associated with the Cd that install the Windows and the CD code of the disc used. If it is fairly new, you should be able to get a Recovery CD from HP.
