When turning on the laptop the green light appears computer comes on when will not do anything, thought it might be battery, will a run down battery stop the laptop from booting even when power supply is connected. also trying to charge the battery there is no red flashing light, only a orange flashing light for about one minute. then is nothing.
-   My laptops cord was cut and I replaced with a new cord, and now it won't do anything but show a flashing yellow light for battery which I know is shot, and when first pushing the power button will briefly flash the top two green lights on the side, 2 up abover and then a solid green power light for 5-6 sec then shut off leaving the flashing yellow light on the side.-   jack_reeve

Sounds like you have an exhausted battery. Even rechargeable batteries must eventually be replaced when exhausted.
Try removing the battery and booting the laptop while plugged in. If it works, the battery is exhausted and you'll have to get a new one.
If the laptop still doesn't boot with no battery, and you don't hear the whirr of the hard drive powering up and starting to spin, then you have a boot problem.
Try to use a boot floppy, or at least try to boot with the drive installed/attached to see if the laptop tries to access it.
You can also look for the reset switch, sometimes an innocuous hole on the base or rear of the laptop - you stick a pen or paper clip in it. Remove any RAM upgrade chips. Frequent source on boot failure if they're the wrong size, speed, or chip config.
- this will take it back to the default device settings, in case you changed something that didn't take hold until you tried to re-boot.
From the manual:
The notebook is prevented from booting by a disk in the floppy disk drive. Check whether this floppy disk is a system disk. Remove the floppy disk. Operating system files may be damaged or missing. Boot the notebook with a system floppy disk, via the floppy disk drive. i If the operating system is reinstalled, all data created up to that point will be lost. Make regular back-up copies of your data.
Some laptops have an initialize mode - you press down some keys while booting to reset the setting back to default. I'm not sure what those are in your laptop, but you can check in your manual, or in the store you bought it in.
Good luck

Whilst typing on screen the cursor drops to the bottom of the page at random - has anybody any idea what the problem might be. It is totally random - and not connected to my touch pad!
