Presario 2100 dead?

Hello

I have a Compaq Presario 2100 (2126EA). When I turn the laptop on (with
external power on), the fan starts up , cdrom spins 1-2 sec.. The power
button is lighting blue. After three sec. the I/O led is blinking, like
the laptop is in sleep-mode, the fan is off. Nothing happes on the
screen.
I tryed to charge the laptop but after one day of charging, the battery
is still dead.

Are there someone who tryed the same! What shall I do?

Thanks

Have you tried turning the notebook off by holding the power button down for
3-4 seconds?

IS it in sleep mode? Did you type a few keys ? ( sorry - Had to ask -you
didn't mention)
If holding down the power button doesn't work, unplug it, remove the
battery and plug it back in.

I tried to charge the laptop but after one day of charging,
the battery is still dead.

What do you mean by " the battery is still dead." ?
The leds on the battery don't increase ?
Was that an issue before THIS ?
Or just SINCE this happened ( maybe running only on battery - bad AC
adapter - AC outlet is good?)
Let us know. Meanwhile,
go here for specifics:

and here to download manuals

( You should get them while you can - often they remove as product ages )

1. The leds on the battery don't increase,
2. Tryed everything, the laptop is not in "sleep mode",
3. AC outlet is good.

Christian,

When you reply, include the text you are replying to ( your text by itself
means nothing to a reader and I can't remember all of the details of the
hundreds of messages in here.) Did you do as we asked in previous
messages?
( click "Reply Group" and type your answer under the questions)
' Tryed everything, the laptop is not in "sleep mode" ' doesn't tell us :

Did you press and hold the power button for 10 seconds ?
Did it power OFF ? ( does the button even work ?)
Did you unplug it and remove the battery ? ( in case the battery is fried)
Same symptoms on AC - without the battery in there ?
Same on battery only ? (No AC - Ignore the LEDS)
Did you then plug it back in , turn back on ?
Did it power up OK ? ( disk activity LED)
Did you press F10 at startup ?
Did you see anything on the screen ( BIOS startup etc) ?
Did you try an external monitor ( in case PC ok but bad LCD) ?
