Hi! Can anyone please help me? I have a dell 500m laptop, and it just won't start. There's a green lamp on the power supply and when I put it into the computer, the lamp goes dark. I've also tried starting it with the battery, however no luck :( There is no sound comming when I try to start it either (no fans or anything..)
Please help me!!
Try removing the battery while A/C is unplugged. That way you'll clear the CMOS. After that you can try to boot it normally.
that doesnt clear the cmos due to the bios battery
Not necessarily so. Some laptops don't have CMOS battery. + it might be hibernating and unable to wake up. That tends to happen. Only way to shut it down is to remove the battery and cable.
