Hello Everyone , i recently got a Travelmate 4500 and it does the following when i connect the AC:

1) It will power up without pressing the power button
2) The screen is black :(
3) The Power LED changes color to Orange And Green
4) The fan goes on
5) After That , nothing happends

I heard that i should flash the BIOS and i've tried FN+B , FN+ESC , CTRL+ESC but they won't work.

Note: This Notebook is 1 year old , so there is no warranty

Are you in the EU? If so, you may have 2 years warranty.
Effective from 1st January 2002, the EU Directive to extend warranty on consumer products from 1- to 2- years, came into effect. This directive only impacts EU member state countries and will be phased in as the EU member states implement the directive. As of 1st January 2002 the following EU member states have implemented this EU Directive: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Germany The Netherlands, Norway, Italy and Sweden
Quote EU Directive 1999/44/EC
