    Hi,
    My laptop was running just fine. No error messages at all. After not using it for a few days I went to turn it on and it wont turn on. If you hit the button on the side it says the battery is 100% charged, I tried a new adapter NO LUCK.

    Could the problem be it needs a new battery even though the it says its 100% charged or could it possibly be the motherboard? I also tried hitting the reset button. No Luck Of Course.

    Any thoughts?

    Have you tried removing the battery, unhooking the ac adaptor and holding the power button for about 10 sec .....then try rebooting with just the adapter?

    You could try replacing the cmos battery ...hard to get at ...think its under your modem card ....can'tthink of anything else ...they had a lot of power issues with those computers.

    My cousins Sony Vaio woudn't boot and it was one of the ram cards that was faulty. Removed it and booted up as normal. Worth a try!
