In mid operation, the screen went blank, and I'm unable to reboot. Pressing the on button does NOTHING. I was operating it on a power supply from my auto on a 12volt power supply. Batteries were fully charged. In fact I think the batteries are still working because I have a small amber light blinking erratically next to the little plug icon on the front edge of the laptop just under the cover/screen release button. Same situation now using the AC power supply. No disk drive run-up, no start up screen, nada. Anybody know if this can be fixed? Where? And will it cost more than to buy a new laptop? -- ----------------------------------------------------- I think the world is run by C students. ----------------------------------------------------- Bill H. in Chicagoland webcams at http://24.14.49.4:8080 weather at http://hhweather.webhop.org
