As someone has already suggested, try popping out
the battery and trying. Also try popping out the CMOS batter, normally
under the larger battery, and leaving the machine unplugged, and both batteries
out for a few seconds. The laptops I support have a tendency to corrupt
the CMOS on really bad crashes.

laptop
Hello. Have a bit of a problem with a laptop. I
turned it on last night and it didnt turn on. So I left it there with the
powercord in it (it was in when I originally turned on the machine the first
time) and went to sleep. Woke up the next morning its not on. The very next
day, the thing is on. It made an attempt to boot but didnt even get passed
BIOS and I cant turn the thing off.
I am thinking that there is a loose wire in there
somewhere and perhaps is not communicating with the power supply and the
harddrive. I am probly going to take the laptop apart and look around, however
I am a bit scared to do so because I have never sen the inside of a laptop and
I am not sure what to expect. Is it pretty much just like a regular desktop
only smaller? Is it interchangable? What can I expect, and does anyone know
what might be causing this laptop to do funky stuffs?
