I can't start the laptop. A few days ago the same thing happened but after trying about 50 times i managed to get it started. The power source is connected. The moment I press the fan starts and the processing light lights up and then it turns off after the battery light (orange) blinks. I've tried taking out the battery and putting it back again. The monitor doesn't even light up and I can't get to the BIOS screen at all. Hardware problem? Thanks in advance. triciasama Technical Support Mon, 04 Dec 2006 20:08:48 +0800
