k, this box is about three years old, still running strong but the battery now lasts about 10 minutes
I went to boot from hibernate this morning and nothing, a blip of lights for less then a second then nothing
I tried a few times and then thought maybe the battery shorted out since it was so bad so I removed that and plugged back in
still nothing
hmmm...I had no indication of a pending failure so I would be surprised if anything was actually bad, maybe a seating or something came loose but I should still get the basic operating system on screen but no
so I have my breakfast for about 10 minutes and as a lark I hit the power button and bing, it's booting
nothing unusual at all with the boot from hibernate
desktop looks fine, I go on line and the browser is light greenish blue
hmmm
I close IE down to see if everything is blue but no, just the browser
I'm thinking some thing's screwed and I am going to have to go home to get my other laptop but I am going to use this till it fries
then gradually, imperceptive, the blue eventually disappears
memory?
