if you're desperate for your data, which i assume you are, get hold of one of these, so should sell them at PC world etc, you basically take your hard drive out, put it in this then plug it into another computer using USB. it'll at least read the data while your laptop is getting fixed or something :thumbs: | |

If its not turning on at all theres a very very very small possibility it could be memory or one of the drives etc. | |

If the battery is completely dead it may take a good while before it will start charging the battery. | |

Right, went to switch my laptop on today and the power button does nothing. Also when I plug it into the mains the 'orange' mains light doesn't come on... Tried the power pack in someone elses computer and visa versa and its fine... |
