    Hey I just got this computer and I drained my battery and now I re-plugged it in and it was working for a week or so, and then a screen came up and said that the battery was dead. Now it will not turn on or light up at all. The power cord does not help. Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else and I am planning on calling the tech support. I just got it though and it seems unusual.
    Has anyone had this happend to them or do you have any tricks to have it boot!?!??! :(

    You have a significant hardware problem, it should power up without the battery, that's not a required part when on AC.
