You can power the laptop up but it doesn't get past the post nor does it give any post beeps. :P
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?

Not booting up you mean.

The computer guys will be on later.

So you say you know what was wrong with it, but you did not fix it. WHY?

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