I have a compaq 2200 and have not used it since July. I put another battery in; the power was low which is strange as it was plugged in. This battery charged and I did a few things. I then got a blue screen that said windows discovered a problem and shut my computer. I did not add and hard or software. It then went to the restart screen with options; and according to the directions I selected start normally, It never did; but kept repeating this screen. I finally took the battery out to turn off the machine but did put it back in.
When I came home the net day it showed green; yet I am unable to turn the machine on. I cannot tell if there is any energy in it or what.
I did try another power cord and another location to plug it in; but nothing.
When I hit the On button, there is a momentary flash of blue on the 2 lights in the front ' but nothing.,
Obviouly I am not tech savvy. but do need help.. please.
