Hello, My Satellite wont boot up... I've tried taking the battery out... disconnecting the pwr supply... holding the button for several minutes.... nothing. Well that's not true... the Pwr light.. the Battery lite and the fan blower comes on... and I can hear the DVD drive tap... but no futher... no f8... ot f12 wont go that far. Any ideas?

A failed BIOS update can create the problem you have. Returning the laptop to the manufacturer is the only practical way to fix the PC. The BIOS chip needs to replaced with a correctly programmed chip.

Good Luck
