Ebay purchase junked my Laptop...? PLEASE HELP? 10 POINTS!?

[Geek Squad]

Hello!

In my experience, when a laptop will not turn on or is turning on briefly and then shutting right back off there is probably a power short in the motherboard. If you heard a loud pop, or a sizzling sound, or if the fan was spinning incredibly fast, or the unit got really really hot, or if you smelled burning plastic, these are all symptoms of a power surge.

Just because your laptop will not power on does not mean that your data is lost. There are many certified repair centers who should be able to extract your hard drive from your mini and transfer the pictures, documents, music and other files onto an external flash drive, back up drive, and / or DVD's for you.

If you visit the HP website at http://h20465.www2.hp.com/GPL/Search.asp...ge_code=en you can find a repair partner near your address.
