disconnect the power lead, then Take the ram, and PC cards, CD's, floppies, hard disk, battery out, reconnect the power, and switch on. - see if anything comes on screen.
Press the little switch that turns the screen off when you close the lid down a few times, just in case it is stuck.Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:0 -
It has gone into hibernation. Have you tried pressing and holding down the on/off button for 5 or so seconds?0
