take out the battery, then put it back it. restart

The battery is dead. I have a compaq too and when this happens it is because thebattery has run out. As stated above plug it into the wall and hopefully your battery will charge.

my sugestion is to place your ear near notebook and turn on if you hear the hard drive then majure problem but if you hear hdd is quite then it sounds like the fans thet cool the notbook down get this in for repair as soon as you can hope you get it sorted soon good luck
