| 1180936 | 2011-02-23 02:15:00 | Back in Feb 2010 CYABRO posted the following: Re: Dead laptop - as in very dead Have you tried it without the battery installed? Also try disconnect power and the battery and press and hold the power button for about 30 seconds then try again. SWMBO laptop would not start, dead, some HD noise and then nothing. Searched PF1 and found this. It worked. Now why? Would love to know! |
