I have a Compaq Presario 501NR that I bought from Best Buy in March of 2007. We went on a trip to New Orleans a couple of days ago and when I went to plugged it in at the Hilton, it would not power on. The battery has been bad, but the power cord usually turns it on fine. I have never had any problems with this laptop. I tried a new universal cord from Office Depot, but nothing still. The light comes on that shows the battery is still charging, but the on switch will do nothing. PLEASE HELP !!!

Jump to PostTake the battery out for a few minutes (10-15), then try to power up the system off the power cable. Don't reinstall the battery.
