saif.khan,


If your system will not power on try some or all of the following.

>Remove the ac adapter and the battery for two minutes then reconnect the ac adapter and try powering the system up.

>Remove the ac adapter, the battery, and the harddrive then put the harddrive back in and try it on ac power only.

>Try starting the system without the harddrive in the system.

>Remove hardware components one at a time and see if the system will start after that.


If the system will not power up with a certain hardware component install then that component may be faulty.

If the system will not power on no matter what, then the processor or motherboard may be faulty.

This sounds like the same problem I was having with my 8600 and that another member was having with his 9100.  Taking out and re-seating the RAM fixed it for me.  I did that a few days ago and I haven't had the problem since.
