My Dell Latitude 2100 netbook (small computer) was running slowly, then appeared to freeze. It would not shut off, so I was told to disconnect the power and battery. I did, and now, when I turned it on, the computer is just a dark screen. Every so often, it sounds like it's "sighing", but nothing is working. HELP! At the top of the keyboard, the volume controls (three) are all lit up) as is something that looks like a lock (with a 9 inside) and of course, the power button. Can you help?

2 years late, boy I bet he looks like this waiting for you..
seems,?. it can be many things.
first is RTC coin cell bad and the big battery shorted.
then HDD bad.
but that sound, seems the owner never cleaned the PC ever, and is overheating.
