          Does anything ever load on the screen? IS there an HP splash screen that ever appears?

              pigpen, please start a new thread, do not hijack someone elses topic.

              We are happy to help you, but it gets very confusing when we need to support two people in at once.

              How is your battery (power supply). I know it seems basic but lets start from the begining.
