2007 / Computer will not turn on! SOS

« on: June 17, 2007, 10:06:24 AM »

Hello! I have a compaq presario laptop that is approximately two years old. it has been working well up until a few days ago when it stopped turning on, even though it is fully charged. I am currently living in France studying in a program and have a huge paper due in a few days and am in desperate need of a computer. Before coming abroad, I had my computer cleaned at a computer specialist, so I am quite certain that it is not infected with anything. sometimes when i hold down the power button, a a light flickers in the lightning bolt icon at the bottom of my computer-- which i think is the power icon? I have also taken out the battery and replaced it to no avail.  as you can tell i am in no way computer savy. If you have any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate some help!
Thanks so much
Darcy
