The problem is that XP installation CD does not have a SATA driver, unless you have a SATA drive on a disk etc. and can install the driver when XP asks for a hard drive driver then, XP cannot detect the hard disk and therefore won't install XP. The FIX. Go into the BIOS and disable the SATA drive (enable IDE emulation), this will make XP think it is a IDE/PATA hard disk. Then you can install XP normally. When Windows has been installed then install all the device drivers (including the SATA driver), then shut down and boot up and got into the BIOS and enable the SATA drive.

Take the battery out, plug in the charger and see if the laptop works.

If it works, the battery may be the problem.

Check the AC AdapterCheck to make sure the adapter is plugged securely into the wall outlet, connected firmly to the adapter box and to the back of your laptop.

Most AC adapters have a little light in them on that rectangular box in the middle of the cord that lights up when it's getting electricity.

If that light isn't on, try a different outlet. Check your fuse or circuit breaker box and plug a different device into that outlet to make sure there is power to it. If it still does not light up, your adapter could need replacing.

Also check the adapter box for signs of warmth, as it will generate heat when it's plugged in. No heat means no power.Remove the BatterySometimes it's as simple as a seated battery.

Remove the battery entirely and clean out any dust, lint or hair that may be clogging the connectors and preventing a proper connection.

Reseat the battery securely and make sure the little locking pins that hold your battery in place are securely fastened and there is no movement.

hope this helps

If the scroll part of the touchpad is not working it indicates a hardware issue, brand new! I would return it to the place of purchase, this should not be issue.

Make sure the wireless switch is turned on. Look on both sides of the computer and in front for the wireless switch. Once the wireless switch is turned on you can use keystrokes to toggle it on or off. Normally you would Press and Hold the FN function key located at the lower left portion of the keyboard then hit the correct F1 thru F12 key that toggles the wireless. Th correct F1 thru F12 key will have the icon of a wireless signal )))) on it. It could also have the icon of a tower with the wireless signal )))). When you hit the correct key notice the screen and it might diisplay Wireless On or Wireless Off.

Hi

Try to replace either the RAM Memory is defective or the HDD drive had a bad sector because of Viruses lock up some bad sector in your hard disk drive. Try to replace this parts and reinstall again the Operating system. Regards

I believe that is a No Post issue.
Its not the hard drive because you said " and the HDD spins up, but it seems as though it doesn't reach POST" or else you 'll be getting errors associated with the hard drive
There are some laptops even though it has a RAM NO POST issue will not beep " no display and no beeping at all "
For us to determine if this a Motherboard Issue we have to disconnect all parts that can be disconnected. Disconnect the hard drive, Memory (RAM), battery, if you have a Modem daugther card, Express card, PCMCIA Card.
Try Turning the computer on using the Power Adapter hooked up on the computer. If you are still getting issues Definetly that is a Motherboard have gone bad but we really need to check up other parts that are disconnected

If Motherboard is good you will be getting video but it will stop on the POST screen and you might be hearing beep sounds as well. That means that the Motherboard is fine. Put the parts that are disconnected and clean the metal contacts as well one at a time and try to isolate at what part that is bad

I would highly suggest to visit the nearest bestbuy store in your town, they have all you needed and they offer low prices there.

Voltage checking is the first rule in electronic troubleshooting, sorry to hear you had to take it all apart, live and learn. It will help you in troubleshooting any electronics next time.

The problem may be the DC jack in the laptop or a bad power supply. If you can confirm the power adapter is okay by testing or subbing another power unit then I will assume it is okay and go to the next step. Plug your supply into the laptop, now put your hand on the DC plug and apply pressure sideways with the thumb "not to hard" at the same time press the power switch repeatedly to see if it will start, if yes! the DC jack needs to be resold-ed back on the motherboard or replaced. If still no change this is where a computer technician will be needed to go further.
