This happened to my mates laptop so he asked me to take a look. I stripped it down and was gonna change the motherboard but I reseated the processor and bios battery and now it works fine so I believe it was the bios battery needing reseating.Always looking for a bargain and to help0

If you are going to get rid of it, at least take out the harddrive and put it into an external harddrive caddy.Please use OpenDocument (ISO 26300) format (.odt - .ods - .odp - .odg) for attachments0

Hi - similar problem.
My dog jumped up at me and I dropped a coffee mug ( luckily empty) onto the laptop and now there is no power whatsoever
Don't know what to do - try to get repaired? or claim on insurance?
It cost me £600 in 2004 but it looks like new as I have looked after it well.
(Apart from dropping a mug on it and now doesn't work at all! lol)
