First, try reseating your ram, (remove it and put it back it) try removing the battery and only plugging in the power cord and trying turning it on. if none of thoose helps then it sounds like you may have a dead processor, easy to replace tho, just need a processor of the same type and put it in
ok, it seems like its not a hardware prob, just sounds like you need a d, just pop a windows install disc in, boot to it, and do a reinstall. you will lose all your files so if you need any, you can order a Ubuntu disk from the internet for free with free shipping and handeing, when u get it, boot the cd, and go to try ubuntu without making changes to my pc, when it starts up, plug a flash drive in, go to Places, and go to the local disk, copy only the needed files and then turn off the pc, then do the xp install, here is the link for ordering the dischttps://shipit.ubuntu.com/ you want the desktop cd, not the server cd.

Then it is a nice paper weight :-(
I would take it into a local shop to see if they can restore it. You might also try taking the hard drive out and putting into another computer to run the recovery.

1. Remove the battery (side latch release) and hard drive. The only screw that holds it down is marked F-4 on the cover. (look for the panel with the 2" circle, that is the HD)
Use the white pull tab to move it left then upwards. It should move with little effort. Be careful not to loose the screw from the HD panel.
2.Remove all screws annotated F6 from the bottom bezel with a Pt. 2 screwdriver. (from my count there was less that a 15 )
Depending on the screwdriver, there are times where you might have to push the screwdriver down a bit to get in contact with the thread. Just be careful not to strip the threading.
3.Remove the "B25" screw located near the heat sink-fan vent. Somewhat carefully take your hand, and lift the bottom bezel up enought to disconnect (about 1-2 inches from surface) the battery with your index and midde finger. Look at they way the battery is run, and seated in the plasic clips.
With the bottom semi-open, plug in the replacement battery, and re-seat it in underneath the white ribbon cable, and clips on the housing per the original.
4. Replace all screws (less than a ton).
5. Re-seat the hard drive, by sliding it in first with the metal tab under the plastic housing, to the left, then puling it to the right. Replace the panel with the one, shorter, F-4 screw. Reseat the battery.
6. Return your model car with reciept. If a reciept cannot be found, use it for store credit.
If you wish to test the battery, simply unplug it and remove the battery for 30 minutes. Then power it on with only the A/C adapter. If no CMOS screen appears, you are good to go.

No, haven't. I will try that and take out the wireless card too and see if that works. It tells me that there is some kind of error(all black screen with white letters) that may have been caused by new hardware or software. I have not added anything new that I can remember lately. It asks me to start in either safe mode, safe with networking, safe with command prompt, or last good config. I've tried them all and just keep going in a circle.
Have you tried it WITHOUT the battery in it, just using AC power? Also, disconnect ALL devices from it.
