Compaq Presario Laptop M2010 US Won't Start
I had used the screen saver function and then noticed it turning
the machine off when unattended for several hours. I took off the screen saver (I was only using the screen saver for about 24 hours, it was a recent decision to use it). I was able to turn it back on the first time after pressing in the button for about 20 seconds but now it's dead. I've tried these instructions I found here once given by HP technitians with no luck: 1. Disconnect AC power. 2. Disconnect laptop battery. 3. Press power button in the laptop for 20 seconds (or 1 minute). 4. Connect AC power (not battery). 5. Check whether the laptop powers up. I had a previous Compaq that I had good luck with so decided for them again. However, this machine has caused many problems since buying it. The DVD won't even play movies anymore. I have had several blue screens of death since using it (It's about 14 months old) and it is slow with multi-tasking. I will bring it in for a memory upgrade so now will probably do that sooner than later if I need to bring it in to a shop. Does anyone have any tips to get it to turn back on? -- -- Robert Pearson ParaMind Brainstorming Software http://www.paramind.net Creative Virtue Press/Telical Books/Regenerative Music http://www.rspearson.com |
