So what good is the hibernation mode if it causes this problem? (well, it was only a problem for a non-geek) Thanks - you saved me several dinero!!!  |

Yes, a bad battery can keep it from starting up, even if the laptop is on AC power. The battery is shorted which happens quite often. By removing the battery, you've eliminated the draw and it allows the laptop to boot up.
