I think you just about mentioned the solution that I would do. Try removing the battery and powering up the computer. Then shut it down. Insert the battery, and then try to start up the computer again. See if that works.

I should have removed the battery before I left but I forgot to do so. Yesterday, I turned my 2300c, nothing happened, no chime, no sound, no light, nothing showing it's alive. I checked the AC adapter:it's good. Could some one walk me through to detect what's wrong and how to fix it. Thank you in advance.
