| 199179 | 2003-12-10 07:17:00 | Hi all I have just brought a Packard Bell lap-top at Noel Leeming... however have this strange thing happening... i have plug everything in (include the battery pack).. and also the AC/DC power plug in to the lap-top as well... when i press the On/Off button, the machine still doesn't want to switch on... (Before I didn't put the battery pack in and put the AC/DC on, the machine still doesn't turn on either) but on the computer, there is 3 lights on the left, the 2nd light is on at the moment, i know it is charging the battery is there anything that i need to do in order to turn this thing on??? Thank you very much Jacky |

| 199180 | 2003-12-10 07:32:00 | What about the boot floppy or disk? As its the first time you have tried to start it, I would assume you would need one of these | Baldy (26) | ||

| 199182 | 2003-12-10 07:47:00 | Jacky, I have a Hewlett Packard ze4315 which I bought a few months back from Noel Leeming. I suspect that you have a faulty machine as these puters are preloaded with the OS (WindowsXP Home) in my case and quite correctly as you say, should not require a boot disk. I suspect you have a faulty power switch/power pack. As it is under warranty, I would take it back. | Smurf (506) | ||
| 199183 | 2003-12-10 07:57:00 | Hi thanks, i wouldn't rule out this possiblities... because i do see it in the store that, even no battery pack, by pluging the AC/DC the laptop still can turn on!!! but for anyone out there? is that any more possibilities that prevent the machine being switch on? please list more suggestion... thanks again Jacky |
