You can power the laptop up but it doesn't get past the post nor does it give any post beeps. :Pthescruff wrote:How do you mean "It powers but doesn't post"
Its sat on the desk with psu connected battery out, power indicator is on but there is no response and on boot up it doesn't post.
Any ideas?

Just seems a shame that you managed to cure the earth problem that you had at home without doing yourself some serious injury.
