Hi Jason 2074,
You asked what happened prior to my problem. Nothing that was notice. Had been using computer previous day, then tried to turn it on, that's when it wouldn't start. Can't thing of _anything_ that was done or happened prior. Scratching my head....
Now, today I took the back covers off, removed HDD, then DVD drive and tried to start without them in...same situation.
Also tried reseating the RAM and also lifted the fan and cleared some dust. Just while I had it open.
Still same situation. Maybe like someone else said m'board??? I hope not! Anyhoo I probably can retrieve stuff from hard drive with another machine (I hope).
Thanks again....
