    Hi guys, i have a sharp actius um32w laptop. it's about a year and a half old. I tried to turn it on today, and nothing shows up. Once i press the power button, the light for indicating that the laptop is on turns on, but nothing shows up on the screen, the light for hd access doesnt blink, i don't hear the fans turn on, and i don't hear the hard drive being accessed. Only thing that happens when i push the power button is that the power light turns green, but nothing else happens. any ideas what this could be?

    the laptop only came w/ a 1 yr warranty and it's been 1.5 years now.. any chance sharp would still fix it? or would i have to pay? :(

    thanks

    Does it do this on battery and/or AC? You could ask Sharp, the worst that will happen is that they will say no which is what they were going to do anyway.
