You may have a ram issue, remove one stick to see if there is a change and swap it out with the next one, if the problem goes away, the last stick you pulled is the problem. Next pull the hard drive and reseat it back to see if you can get it working, If no change! use the recovery disc in an attempt to reload the operational system. Finally take it to a computer tech if all else fails.

For OS XP
Start) ->Control Panel(Category View )->Network & Internet Connections ->Network Connections ->Select your wireless NIC icon and right click on it, then make sure it is enabled.

For OS Vista or Win 7
Navigate to your wireless network card properties and make sure it is enabled;
Start -> control panel -> network and internet (or network and sharing) -> network options -> manage network connections
then select your wireless NIC icon and right click on it, then make sure it is enabled.

Be sure that your wireless NIC(adapter) switch did not get turned off i.e. on certain laptop/notebook models

Hope it helps.

Remove your battery pack, and plug in the live power source, and switch on your laptop, just to test if the if your laptop turn on. If it does, your battery had reached end life usage, so you need to replace the battery pack.

Hope it helps.

This is due to batter effective memory, the batter think is charge but is not. Its best to replace the battery

Hello.

Try System Restore.

Boot your system to Safe Mode (press F8 repeatedly when powering on). Go to System Restore and choose a date when your system worked OK. Note: with System Restore, all your updates will roll back to that date. Follow the process.

Hope this helps.

install win 7 32bit with drivers for it.

This is usually caused by the thumbs coming in contact with the touchpad below the spacebar when typing. Make sure to keep your thumbs raised or resting lightly on the spacebar.

I believe these are the drivers you are looking for.

Hope that helped!

Here is a link to all the drivers for your model.

More than likely, you will need the MOST UP TO DATE:

1. Chipset
2. Audio
3. Touchpad
4. Graphics (VGA)
5. Wireless

You may have some of those installed already, which is okay, you can pick and choose. Good luck!
