Great,
That's somewhere that we can start from.
If you can get me the model of the laptop I'll see what I can do.
You might see something in your system tray that will allow you to
turn it on. Or, on most HP laptops, it's as simple as a button or a
switch.
On my DV it's a button, on the TX it's a flick switch on the front
near the power switch.
