    Do you mean not turning on at all or it turns on but doesn't boot into Windows?

    Based on your model number I have determined the issue.

    Try booting on a Linux CD - and if you're not sure what I mean - see Google and search this forum.

    Or - add some details !!

    Doesn't boot, for all I know your battery could be empty and no AC supply connected... well maybe, not you would have said it doesn't turn on then, or wouldn't you?

    Honestly - information would be useful.
