Thanks for all the replies,
After charging battery last night i can now boot up ok
I ran all the bios test and everything is ok
The only problem now is when using laptop for any length of time
The screen screws up and mouse pointer goes out of control
Think it may be HD or CPU or Battery being loose
will try to take appart and put together again.
Any other ideas appart from that
Thanks very much
