Hi,
New to this group with a problem.  I have a ZD7000, 2 years old, that
won't boot.  I have tried to boot with each of the recovery disks
originally provided.  When I push the 'on' button, (with ac and
battery), the drive light comes on for less than 2 seconds, then goes
out.  The computer just doesn't do anything after that.  HP site says
to send it in.  I would like to try anything before that!$  Thanks, Boni

Try a RAM reseat. Sometimes the connection between the RAM chip(s) and the socket can become less than great and will cause similar boot problems. I have even had laptops where I had to open the computer and reseat the CPU to solve a problem similar to this. You should also try removing the battery and attempt the boot with only the AC adapter. A bad battery can cause boot problems also, but I would almost bet on the RAM being the problem.
