Sounds like you need to take the machine to a repair technician.

I've had my Dell Latitude D600 for almost a year now. It's been a great machine for me and hasn't had any problems. However, randomly today, it stopped working. I shut it down and haven't been able to turn it back on since - with or without the power adapter plugged into it. Now, when I plug in the power adapter to a wall outlet, the green light turns on, but as soon as I hook it up to my laptop, it goes off. How can I get my laptop back on? What's wrong with it?

Whenever I restart my computer, (or turn it on, or log off user name) the monitor stops working and the light turns orange. I have to wiggle the connector to the hard drive for it to finally turn back on after a lot of hassle. Sometimes the monitor will shut off when I'm in the middle of a task, and after I hassle with the connector, the computer automatically is at the startup screen.

Also, we have a NetGear router connected to our main computer, and I have the USB Adapter on mine. The adapter often loses connection with the router and I don't know how to fix it. Everything is hooked up right, I made sure of it.

My computer is a Compaq Presario if that helps at all.

Please, what should I do?

I have a dell 3100 and I shut down my computer and wasn't able to turn it back on. Every time that I push the button to start it turns an orange color which usually turns green when working properly. The orange color keeps blinking and still doesn't start even though I unplug the computer and plug it again. If you have any answer, please email me.
