If the laptop will not come on at all, it is probably having a hardware
problem rather than a software problem. A failed SP1 install would result
in a computer that will turn on but Vista won't start, or restarts with an
error message. But the computer would turn on.

Hi--

I'm inclined to agree with Mr. Harper that there may be a hdw problem,
particularly in the light of the power cut but nonetheless I suggest you try
a Startup Repair if you have the dvd or do a search in the MSKBs for the
bootrec tool and use their switches from a cmd prompt outside Windows if you
have the Vista DVD.

Good luck and let us know how you make out,

CH

A question, Chad:

HOW could he do a startup repair if his machine refuses to boot at
all.

"NO POWER, NO STARTUP REPAIR."

Seems like his problem is strictly hardware.

Possible dead CPU, motherboard, or power supply.

Unfortunately, this sometimes happens when power is interrupted during
a sofware install.

Sure reads like it's dead, mookima..

I suggest you replace the battery first, then try to boot.
If it boots, THEN try a Startup repair.

However, I think a reinstall of your OS is called for in this
instance.

mookima,
Please confirm that with the battery installed and power connected that you
never see anything on your screen or any lights on to indicate disk activity
when you try to power on the machine even if you hold down the power on
button for 10 seconds.

Does the "Power-on" light come on? IF so, maybe you have a dead HD
(much cheaper problem). IF not, you definitely have a hardware
problem.

As I've written, your problem is probably a hardware problem. Take it
to be serviced.

BTW, let go of the power button once its been pressed when attempting
to boot. And use yer common sense...NO LIGHTS, no power, NO POWER no
boot.

Nevertheless, I advise you to take it to be serviced.
(or send it back to the manufacturer if still under warranty).
