The fan comes on for 2 seconds and the DVD cycles, then nothing. Power Switch light stays on and battery charging light is on.

    Hi gambo33,

     

    Try doing a power reset.

    Thank you Coqui13. I have tried the power reset, but it doesn't work. Before the "hard failure" the laptop would do this once or twice then come on normally. I thought it might be the CMOS battery but the test of the fan and DVD R/W indicate that computer is starting into the BIOS routine and that would mean (to me) that the CMOS battery is OK. This could be faulty thinking on my part!

     

    Thanks again, Coqui13.
