hello everyone -- i bought this new and barely used it. i suddenly got the urge to use my laptop and it didn't start. i was told to replace battery and hard drive -- i did both. still it doesn't boot. power goes on but only to a blank screen. any ideas?
thanks -- phil

have you tried reinstalling the operating system?

Also does POST come on?

yes -- won't boot from disk.

Can you hook a external monitor to it and see if it does anything?

i tried hooking up external monitor -- no luck. could it be sink fan? sounds like fan starts then stops.
