Last week my battery melted in my laptop.  I've replaced the battery, and all was well for a day. 

But now the entire system will not boot.  All I get is the power light, a fully charged battery indication, and that's it.  I fear the poor thing has died, possible because of the thermal damage when the battery melted.:emotion-6:

Please help troubleshoot?

According to the support docs I've read I've tried:

1. reseating the memory card (DIMMA and DIMM B).

2. Tried booting from CD, in case it's the hard drive.  Nada

3. When it does attempt to boot, I can see the hdd light illuminate briefly, followed by the CD-Rom indicator.

Is there anything else I can check?
