    Something wierd happened this morning when i turned my np9150 on, it stayed at the bios logo screen. I was able to get into bios and i re-saved it and it booted normally after that.

    anyone seen this happen?

    Hiccups happen all the time. If it becomes reoccurring, then you might have a problem. You didn't happen to hit the Pause/Break key, did you? That will halt the POST screen until you hit another key.

    Good to hear! If it does happen to come up again (and again, and again), you can try an EC reset by removing the battery and power adapter and all peripherals, hit the power button a few times, leave it off like this for a few minutes, then reinsert your battery and/or adapter and boot it up as normal. If that's a no go, you can always do a BIOS reset, but that's a little more involved.
