Compaq/HP NX9005

I thought I'd ask this here before giving up on this laptop.

A few months ago the screen froze, and on trying to restart the laptop power cycles about 5 times and then freezes, it does not appear to get as far as the BIOS screen.

I really hate to give up on this one as its was a great PC and the keyboard is perfect.

I tried other searches of he internet, but could find no info on this fault, not even on the HP site. I did find on on ebay with the same fault, but nothing else.

Does anyone have any idea, and how much repair is likely to cost

thanks

I'm assuming your running XP Mitchell, have you tried booting with the XP disk in and running a repair?

Alas it does not get far enough to discover the CD drive :(
