The start of the problem
I have 2 of these laptops, about 6 months apart. One is fine, works great while the other one went south about 2 weeks ago! It was making a lot of noise my wife said, MSN home page would not shut down & was just running so slow. After powering down & removing the battery & placing battery back in unit it now will not boot up, screen is blank
Symptoms
My LED for power cord plugged in is on & when I power it up the charging LED will come on for a little time. The HDD led will come on for a couple of second & you hear drive & fans running & then the HDD led light goes out. The other power LED down on the bottom left below the keyboard never comes on which is concerning. The main power button LED & wireless on/off are lit as is the CAPS & NUMBER LOCK LED's.
What I have tried
I have done the restore factory settings fix (Remove battery, hold power key for 15 second etc) & no change.
I have checked the internal connections.
I have connected an external monitor.
Need help on this or is it time to take it to have it looked at on the bench?
Thanks in advance.
