[QUOTE="DavidJSwanson, post: 80238"] ok, now i am completely confused. For no particular reason i hit the PMU reset button again and hit the power button and it turned on, booted up and acted like nothing was wrong. so i left it on for a couple hours to see if it would act up, but it didn't. rebooted it, turned it off and on a few times, let the battery run down, recharged it, let it sleep, and it hasn't acted strangely on me yet. The only thing that i had done differently was that i just quick pushed the PMU button and only waited five seconds, the other times i had waited quite a while longer, does anybody know if the timing between reset and power on is critical? I mean, i'm soooo happy it started to work without taking anything apart, but i'd like to figure out what caused it so it doesn't die five minutes after i give it back. Any ideas ? And about the screen possibly being defective, i would rule that out as you can hear the hard drive start to spin when you turn it on, also the CD-ROM tray wouldn't pop out. so the main unit was down.
