Looks like a power supply (inside the notebook) failure. Often, it's only a blown fuse. I've seen it on a Kapok 486 notebook - works fine after replacing (needs a soldering iron).

ok....out of nowhere the thing started 2 work......sometimes it comes on, sometimes it dont. I'm thinking its still the power supply but is it really worth fixing? :mrgreen:
