Hold the botton for 10 seconds and see. some computers are made or even programed that way on XP.\n\nIf that doesnt work, Unplug and check if it will power on using batteries. If nothing check yur cord cause it may be bad meaning yur laptop would not turn on or even charge the batteries. \n\nI f the cord works, it could be the switch on the laptop or the power source. Check yur cord first cause when u carry the laptop by a certified technician, he may charge u plenty and next thing nothing wrong with the laptop itself. Laterz.

I would guess the power supply failed.\nIf the hard drive spins up and you can tell it is booting up you may have a bad video card or a bad monitor.

check that the elctricity cable is plugged correctly, then ckeck the power supply or just waste some money on going to a professional guy you know. I hope i helped you.

Plug it in and press the power button. If that doesn't work, make sure the electricity is hooked up to your house.

check the power cord to see if there is a break if not then it most likely dead try and take it to computer shop and see what they say you can get a new one if they say it dead

Uplug the hard drive cables, disk drives, cd, etc. Then power up and see if the mother board will run. Work from there.

ur o/s may be corrupted, or some system files may be missing. try to start ur laptop on safe mode if the prblm solved then restore it to a previous setting. other wise repair the o/s...

It sounds like you just got ripped off. Maybe the monitor is broken (it should come on when you press the power button to the laptop!)

are you getting power or not. i would first check all the cables to see if anything are loose. i would also check the power supply. and also would look in you motherboard book to find how to reset the bios.

There could be quite a few problems, but this could also be a fairly simple fix.  I would first try to just unplug the whole darn thing, wait about 30 seconds, and then plug it in again and try to start it.  Seeing as you have internet access, I would also try going to this website: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=bph07173&lc=en&cc=us&rule=14694&dlc=&product=396431.  That hopefully will help. =)  Good luck!

Check to make sure you dont have any recalls on that particular thing. Maybe you didn't put it in correctly. ummm maybe your laptop is not responding correctly to it because the unknown error is not effecting it. Just follow the error and keep doing what ya doing. have a nice day

There should be a battery inside your computer that powers the BIOS. Try replacing it and see what happens.

It might be the battery on the mother board might need to be replaced. Do that first.

if the tower is all working (light is on and display is showing on monitor) then chances are the OS is damaged. recover using the recovery disc or in some cases using the resest config data option in BIOS

Try booting it into safe mode by pressing F8 when the computer starts. If that doesnt work your probably out of luck since this handles the login for windows.

check to see if any other appliance works in those sockets. If the socket works. It sounds like the power supply may have gone bad in the computer
