I tried to turn on my laptop today and the power light comes on and the loading light (the thing that looks like a cylinder) comes on but barely. Nothing comes on the screen and the add on laptop and mouse doesn't come on. I donno whats wrong, it was working 2 days ago.

The loading light that looks like cylinder is hard disk indicator light. May be some problem with your hard disk.

Please give details of operating system and security apps you have installed on it.

If I remember correctly it is a Dell 2 ghz, 50 gb disk drive, 64 video card (donno which company, but its not the G-force company). that is all I really know. Also I can't shut it down ether, the light is still on. I tried to hit the power again but it is not responding.

Is it running Windows 95/98/ or ME?
Do you know the hard drive manufacturer?
What Dell model?

I think it was ME or XP. I haven't used it in a while, only my brother. I think the model is X08-73060.

Yea the green power light is still on and the screen is black. Nothing came on the screen when I powered up. I'm not really sure whats wrong. I even plug it in and waiting a bit but nothing. I'm gonna try to drain the battery and recharge to see what happens.
