Yes, I went to Best Buy/Geek Squad - Agent Smith. She removed the external battery (located on bottom) then replaced it, which restarted my laptop. I'm definitely going to buy a new one, but does anybody know which one works with CaseCat 8? I have XP and I know the new ones are running Vista. Thanks everybody for your inputs.

Toshiba Satellite Pro, bought in 2002. It won't turn on. I'm going to go to Best Buy to purchase a new laptop. They have Geek Squad there, and I'm going to ask them to transfer my harddrive (which has my depo jobs) info to the new laptop. But since this is the first time I've ever experienced this tragedy, can anyone give me advice on what laptop to buy or how to get through this mess? Please respond ASAP!!
