Describe took a dump. Is it now powering on, blue screen of death, errors on boot up? Could be as simple as buying a new hard drive and reimaging.

The hard drive led light on the laptop does not come on or blink on and off

will it boot off a CD/DVD? you can burn a UBCD and check the hard disk, memory etc.....

you can also plug in an external monitor to check to see if anything is showing on the screen



is this an older laptop? have you removed the battery and reinserted it and plugged it back in?

Since you power it on and it goes off in 2 sec, I think it's probably the mother board and not worth putting a bunch of moeny into it. I would remove the hard drive buy a new compter and sell the old one on ebay for parts.
