    Hey guys,

    The other day I was on my laptop and pulled out the ac power cord, then the whole thing turned off. There was heaps of battery left so this shouldn't have happened. I thought it might be my cord since its old and frayed ALOT so brought a new one but the laptop won't turn on. It doesn't have the power light and doesn't do anything when I press the power button.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks! Anita

    oh lawd my Compaq Persario C700 did the same thing last night but instead what happened was I pulled the cord out by mistake, screen got really bright then it turned off. I took the whole thing apart last night and it's def the mobo and I'm sure that your computer suffered the same death.
