Hello, Here's a problem that just cropped up on mine. Was working fine until out of warranty by a few months. (lease resale Fry's). Arrrgghh. Earlier today it started ok. After a few minutes on battery power the screen went dark,(I'm pretty sure I could still see the shadow of the display, as though it was the backlight out or something. I pulled the battery and did a hard reset. Battery is near new HP OEM. Reinstalled battery. Then--press on button, blue battery light goes on steady for a few seconds then the amber light starts flashing in the background,(blue light still steady) for a couple of seconds, then for about half a second the amber light stays on steady by itself---then it goes out---then nothing. When the power supply is plugged in the blue light is on, but if I press the on button in this case, it has no effect at all. Any ideas? I couldn't find this one in the literature.
