Well, that’s a lot of use!

Got the following advice from HP about the problem with my laptop:

3. Please perform a dry boot and check if the notebook powers ON. Steps for the same are given below:

i. Ensure you bring the unit to minimum configuration.

ii. Disable all the external devices including the battery and the AC adapter.

iii. Press and hold the power button for 10 seconds.

iv. Now boot the notebook with AC power only.

Course, the problem is that the battery is completely dead, so I can’t even power it up!

In the meantime I am waiting for the folk I bought it from to let me know about returning it to them. Grrr!

So, what was the worse bit of advice you were ever given?

I bet it is the power cord itself that is gone.

RYN: Go right ahead. Glad you appreciated the entry. I’m not a laptop owner, but it seems like all laptops seem to have trouble with the power adaptor. Have you checked to see if that’s not the problem causing the dead battery? If it’s the battery, have you checked here? http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml06/06007.html
