Hi all,
This morning I tried to use my Compaq Presario M2000 Notebook, but found that I had no power.
I had a little panic of course and phoned my computer tech to find no answer.
I downloaded the Maintenance and Service Manual and found that nothing in it worked to give me power.

As a last resort I took the battery out and then put it back in.
I tried my computer again and bingo it works.

All I need to know now is what happened. Why did it not go in the first place and why did taking the battery out and putting it back in work.

Obviously, the circuitry that is kept alive even with the power off was in "mumble mode", and removing the power totally got it's mind right.
