Hi I have a old pavillion 7940 which has not been used for about 4 years it was working fine last time I used it. Just tried switching it back on and nothing all I can see is the little green light flicker at rear by the mains lead.
Any ideas anyone thanks.

either power switch is stuck in or you have a boot sector virus, I have just repaired a pc with the same problem about 10 mins ago, I removed the hard drive, read it from another pc via a dock, transferred all files that were to be kept and then re installed windows.
I am a MSCE, but am open to other suggestions.
