    Out of no where my Presario v2000 does not want to boot up. I press the power button and the power lights flash and the CD drive flashes. . .but then nothing happens. And it hasn't been dropped or anything like that, and it was just working several hours earlier.
    Help?

    1) Take out the battery pack and unplug the AC power

    2) Hold the power button for 30seconds

    3) ONLY plug in the AC power this time and try starting up again..
