When you turn the key to the ON position are there any instrument lights on the dash? Does the radio work? If not, dead battery.

sounds like shift cable broke or disconnected

Hi There,
It sounds like you've broken the post that acts as a snap action switch to turn on your laptop. With that post broken, you will still physically be able to move the switch back and forth, however the snap action will not work and your laptop will remain off.
You can fix it yourself, it's not terribly ******* a netbook but for someone without experience it can be confusing, here is a link to a disassembly video: http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=hp%20mini%20disassembly&source=web&cd=2&sqi=2&ved=0CFsQtwIwAQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dq2xQUT9NbIg&ei=B6XPT47GG7Ky0QH0pumkCA&usg=AFQjCNFdTsIR3hOFdu_OfA_b3sAHpYbXxQ

A repair shop should be able to fix this issue for you in under ten minutes and under $40.

Remove the memory card from the camera (after the power is turned off). On the memory card itself you will, if you look closely, see a tiny plastic piece which slides back and forth. Slide this switch to the opposite side it is on now and this will unlock the memory card. Once this is done return the card to the camera and it should work fine. You can use the switch to ensure images aren't inadvertently erased.

Suggest you open the drill, and see if the plastic slide for the dual speed switch, is stuck in the body of the drill.
From this, you will know if it's a simple fix of correcting the slide action of that plastic selector slide, or if it is going to require replacement of the switch itself.

The plastic selector slide, slides back and forth in a groove, on either side of the drill body. Could be something simple. Perhaps some dirt, or metal shavings, that can be removed.
Maybe there is a burr on that plastic selector slide. Perhaps a little lubrication will help also.

If it's the switch itself, parts have come loose inside due to breakage. Replacement would be necessary in this case, unless you are really prolific at fixing broken switches.

If you can't you can sent it in to garmin

I just got a 2001 beetle and i had the same problem I changed out the emergency flasher which also is the turn signal relay and it fixed i got the part online and it costed $29.00 plus shipping i did it myself the switch just slides out it was a little hard getting it to plug back in but I got it in about 5 min of messing with it
