NC8000 will not power up

[Keith Wierenga]

HAs anyone seen the following, I hace an NC8000, when you press the power button the fan starts, the Wireless led comes on and the battery led starts to blink. But thats where it stops, Have removed the battery and reinstalled but still no go

Keith:

What happens if you remove the battery and power up from an AC source?

Thanks

I tried that serveral times, all to no avail. I left it on the side of the desk for an hour then tried again, and it started. I don't know what to make of it, and it has happened before.

Hi Keith,
You don't mention your OS, but if you go to http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/hpcpqnk/us/family/model/5838.html?submit.y=4&submit.x=5〈=en&cc=us select your OS and see maybe about getting some update for your bios?
There is also a diags for windows which might indicate where the problem comes from. Are there any clues in the event viewer?
When did this start?.. after a windows update? adding any hardware/software?
