Windows Vista Laptop not starting up.
I am working on a HP Pavilion TX 1120us for a friend. He gave it to me and said that it has been acting up for a while and now won't start at all. It turns on and the fans start but there is no attempt at booting. Could this be the CMOS battery or something more dire?- Mitchell769
