Do you get any kind of BIOS screen or anything?
I would make sure the HDD is seated correctly. If you think it is, go into the BIOS (usually a Function key at the first screen splash) and make sure it recognizes everything. Does it beep at all when the BIOS screen comes up? Fink

Doesn't sound like a problem but a blessing.

nothing at all comes up on the screen.
I double checked the HD seating and tried blowing it out again. No this is not a blessing. I'm a field mechanic and I use the computer all the time for stuff like parts and wiring diagrams. Also the company owns the computer not me.

Does it beep when it tires to boot? Can you hear the HDD winding up and trying to boot? I was going to suggest trying to boot from a bootable CD (Windows XP, Norton, etc...) and see if that works. That would narrow it down to either the HDD being friend or unreadable or if it's purely a display problem. Fink

There are no beeps and the hd is not spooling up. The only noise is the cooling fan.
There is not even power to the DVD drive. It will not open unless I use the pin hole to mechanically open it. I will see what happens when I put a disk in.

Not sure how the cooling fan would be getting power while nothing else is. Are you self-employed? If not you may get with your company and see if they can have a tech look at it. Fink

I sent it off to our tech dept, they did something to it. They never told me what was wrong with it, but it is now fixed.
I have a bag, I just never use it. My computer is on all day in the back of my work truck so it gets really dirty. There is not too much I can do about it. Every night I take it in the house so my wife and I can use it.
