Compaq laptop not starting, but power light is on

I have a Presario X1050, the laptop just froze on me all of a sudden, the screen went a little weird on me with waves going from one side to the other of the screen. I shut it down imm. but then it never started again. Now when I turn it on, the power light comes up, I hear the hard disk running for a second or two then everything comes to a still. Tried removing the battery and reattaching it ..didn't worked.

I would really appreciate any advice from you guys.

Thank you.

my guess is maybe the mother board got cooked and if that is the case then you will have to contact compaq about it. anyone else have an idea?

first dip just the screen into water, make sure not to get any of the keys wet. then stick in the microwave for approxmently five seconds. then try starting your laptop. this worked for me. email if you have any questions KWchong24543@yahoo.com
