Any computer wizzes out there? I have a HP laptop Pavillion 6800...I think, if I can remember correctly. The reason I cant be 100% sure is I cant get into it! It kinda died the other day. WHat it started doing was...when you're using the computer and close the lid, then go back and open it, the screen wouldnt come back. So I'd have to shut it down manually and restart and it would be fine. Until the next time I closed it while running and then I'd have the same problem and have to do it all over again. A pain in the arse but I didnt think too much of it.
THEN, it the other day it just wouldnt come back on. Well, one time it did...which was the last time, I thought everything was fine and then it conked out. Then it would start up, and shut down start up, shut down, about every 5 seconds. Not good. The only way I could keep it on was to hit the windows icon and it worked with a couple of other buttons and it wouldnt keep shutting off and coming on...but then it would be left on...with all the blue lights running but no action or screen and the icon for the cpu running wouldnt run either...so its basically useless.
WTF. its only a year and a half old and I dont go around downloading all kinda of sketchy sites etc. Anyone come across this problem before?

Sounds like you are having hibernation issues. Did you unplug laptop power then remove battery? If not do so wait 30 seconds and place batt back in and power and turn it on it should work. If this does not work you might have a Mother board problem.
Life is like Pinball!! You never know where you will bounce or where your going but sometimes you have that one amazing shot But on the other hand you have those darn gutter ball where you just get frustrated.
The other idea is you might have a faulty "I've closed my lid" button. You can set this button to do nothing in Windows by going to the Control Panel -> Performance & Maintenance -> click Power Options. In the advanced table, there should be something about closing the lid. Set it to "Do Nothing".
Also check the hard drive connection as well as the battery and ram connections, if the laptop gets move alot these can and do come loose. it happens to mine regularily...

I've got this thing half apart, connections seem ok but I'm not done. I have a feeling I'm going to be handing a bag of computer parts to someone to put back together soon...
