i know the problem.

1. burn a windows xp iso on a cd.

2. put the cd into your cd drive.

3. now it will ask if you want to start the setup.

4. install it! it will work! i hope it does work

[barfsonyou99]

i can say that wont work.... because its a hardware problem. not a software problem. I think i just need to get a new laptop

[Tombuutkamp2000]

it does work very well i having the same laptop. 4gb ram with win7. by me it worked.

[barfsonyou99]

ok i will try it for u then. but the problem may look the same but not the same too.

Drain the Excess battery by taking out the Power lead (If in) Take out the Battery and hold down the Power button for 60 Seconds. Now put everything back in and boot it up.
