    You had to leave the battery out long enough for it to re-set itself.

    I'm happy it's now working.

    I would replace the battery too, it sounds like it is dying. You can pick up 5 of them on eBay for like $5 anyway, so that shouldn't be a problem.

    i'm trying to fix a HP Pavilion 6553...
    when it powers up the HD light comes on and stays on... doesn't do anything else. just stays lit up and never starts... both power and HD light are on.

    i have tried booting without the HD, putting another HD on there, removed the battery, checked and made sure that everything was seated right, but nothing is working... any help is appreciated... thanks in advance!
