220068 2004-03-04 01:31:00 I feel like an idiot but a friend has left his Laptop with me to install some hardware. He is not available to ask.
I can't find out how you switch the power on.
I have prodded everything but no response.
(on the movies they switch on when you raise the screen)
Either I havn't found the switch, or the battery is completely flat.

Does anyone know how to switch it on? :)

If battery flat use mains input.

220070 2004-03-04 01:46:00 look for a silver button top left just below the screen at least that is where my on off switch is on my compaq Presario laptop beama (111)
220071 2004-03-04 02:00:00 And never install software off the battery.

A shutdown 1/2 way through an install due to failing battery power is not a recommended event. Often requires a complete reinstall of the OS to clean up.

The battery was completely flat. Charged up Ok and works fine except that it is short on memory.
