Hi thompsona207...

Start your computer in the Safe Mode.
To start in Safe Mode
Turn your computer on
Keep tapping F8 while the computer is starting up
When the computer starts select Safe Mode
1. Uninstall any softwear you may have put on the computer before the problem started.
2. Do a complete System Restore: Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>System Restore.
This will bring your system back to a time before you installed the softwear or Microsoft installed drivers,etc.
Note: Just be sure to use a date in a darkened box before your trouble start date.
When you have done the above, restart the computer and if your still getting the problem, then installed drivers,softwear,etc might have corrupted the Operating System.
If that happened then that means either repair or reinstall the operating system.
You will need to do the following:
1...Repairing the Operating System...
A...You will have to have the Operating Dics that came with the computer.
Note...If you do not have the disks that came with your computer or the ones you should have made when you first got your computer...then you will have to go to the manufacture's webpage and see if they have a recovery disk available for your computer, if they do not a recovery disks available then you can also try ebay to locate the recovery disks.
The original disks will have your product key number that came with the computer, you can also find it on the tower, or under the bottom of your laptop, or maybe the piece of paper that the CD orginally came in may have the number on it.
You can also download a small program and it will tell you your product key number.
Go to the following webpage to download your FREE key finder.

B...You will now insert the disc into the CD/DVD player
C...Restart the computer
D...When the window opens that tells you to press "Any" key, you will press any key you want to press.
E...If you do not receive a message that says "press any key to boot from CD", then then the computer is not ready to boot from a cd.
To correct this problem you will have to go into your computer's Bios and change the computer to boot from a CD.
To get into the Bios, shut the computer off,restart, while the computer is starting up keep tapping F1 as the computer is starting up.
When you are in the Bios, select to boot by CD by moving the cursor with the direction arrows on the keyboard.
Once you have selected to boot by cd the exit and restart the computer...the disc is already in the cd/dvd player.
Your system will then boot from the cd.
F...After a minute or less it should ask you if you want to Quit Repair, or Continue.
You will select Repair this time, but you may have to come back here and select "Install" if the repair does not work.
It will ok the agreement document if it asks you too.
Tap F8 on your keyboard to pass it when ready.
It will ask you if you want to Install, Repair, Delete Partition, or Quit.
Select Repair
Inside the box there will be one or two partitions.
Choose the largest partition.
After you have chosen the largest partition, you will then press the "r" key to start the repair
After the repair is complete, then you will need to restart your computer.
G...Computer Restart
After the repair is complete, shut the computer down (the computer will shut down a few times during the installation of the operating system
that is normal).
Then restart your computer, when the computer restarts it will have a box to put your product key...put the product key in the box and click.
The computer should start up and run as if it was a new computer.
You do not need to re-register
You can now remove the disc.

If this fails to clear your problem then you have a hardware problem.
It could be faulty ram
If you still get the BS (Blue Screen), then you have two choices.
1.Reinstall the entire Operating System and you may have to update some drivers.
This will require you to go back to the start of the repair info and select Install instead of Repair.
2..Take your machine in to have the hardware tested.
Keep in mind that if you do a complete reinstall of the Operating System you will lose all the information on the computer,such as pictures, programs, videos, everything you installed will be gone.

Don't think you can bypass this thing because the RTC (Real Time Clock) battery is, most likely, dead. But if you can replace the just the keyboard, then you'll still have a working computer. I'd leave the RTC battery alone and use software (such as Atomic Clock Sync) to set the date and time automatically every time the computer boots into Windows.

check the cmos setting by pressing f2 or del button,, and restore factory settings, and save and exit from cmos and restart,,

I would suggest to remove Hard Drive and RAM. Then try to turn on. If it will beep and/or show any errors then you have faulty RAM and/or hard Drive. If it still blank, then most likely motherboard gone bad.

Hi k ercijonsso...
If you cannot open your computer normally then you will have to open it in the "Safe Mode", the way you do that is keep tapping F8 at startup and it will take you into the safe mode.
Once you are in the safe mode then you can do the following:
If I were you I would do a "restore" and bring the computer back to an earlier time when it was operating properly.
Left click "Start">All Programs>Accessories> System Tools>System Restore
That should correct your problem.

Here is a solution for your problem.Please follow the below steps to boot your laptop.
1. First of all insert the CD from which you want to boot your laptop. 2. Shut down your system. 3. Press the power and then start it again and press the "C" key to boot from the CD.
If this method doesn't work, you can try pressing F2 or F12 at startup and selecting the CD drive from the list of options.

If neither method works, hold the "Esc" key while restarting the computer and press F1 when prompted to access the BIOS. From there, you can change the boot order so that the computer attempts to boot from the CD before any other devices.

If you've replaced the battery, AND power cable (I assume you replaced the entire AC Adaptor), then most likely the power board needs to be replaced in the laptop. Most of the time, this is fixed to the motherboad, therefore the motherboard would need to be replaced.
I suggest you having someone who has the experience doing this do it, or take it to a repair shop.... or chuck it and buy a new one =).

It sound like the battery is not charged up are the way, the power adapter that came with that laptop, the out put voltage should be 19Volts, have it check and see if the adapter is puuting 19 Volts, itmight have dead. You can get a new adapter at BestBuy.
