It worked fine under XP, and will turn on for a few seconds when I initially power on the laptop but not again despite how hot the case will get. The WinBook site hasn’t offered to much and I don’t have the original CDs or books to go to. Any ideas?
I had a P3 do that with me and I had me on my system at the time and I solved the problem by flashing the bios and turning on the ACPI in the bios.
What is the OS that came with the laptop when it was new? if you know then try putting it back on the laptop.
