Put the battery back in - plug it back into the wall...
Then power it up.
Does that do anything?
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds. The laptop might have gone into hibernate mode. This will cycle the power. Before you do that, close the cover and re-open it. That works with my laptop.
Already tried it, didnt work, taking it back to the shop today, thanks for all the help peopleQuote:

Do you have an emergency shutdown (not sure what it's actually called),
on my laptop (HP Pav.) it just hangs hard and I have to stick a paperclip into a small hole below the PCMCIA slots that finally kills it.
Probably equivalent to removing the batts.
we took it back and the technicians at the shop said that it couldnt be fixed, and they are going to try and replace it today, it was the last in stock but they think there might be another one at another store, so fingers crossed we can get another :)
