>After wandering around the house a few times in disbelief, I took the cover off and found the hard drive cable just slightly out of position. A little push, a quick prayer, and voila! Back in business.

When I got my new computer for Xmas, I got the same type of thing. It wouldn't show anything on the monitor, I couldn't even hear a RAM check, ect. Opened er up, pushed very hard on some important looking boards, and it poped up. Whew, there was no indication on the outside (excpet for a giant crack on the faceplate) that anything was wrong < vbg >
