hi, best bet is to remove the cover and take out the bettery for 30 seconds or so.battery should look like a bigger version of a watch battery. might be near the processor or the memory..mine is under my memory sticks.i did the same to mine and it would not start all i did was remove the battery and it reset the bios. keltik
