Hi,



Just the other day I went to take my computer out of sleep mode but upon doing so it crashed. When I tried to boot it back up I got this strange set of beeps and just a blank screen. Tried to reboot again and no luck. One thing that I have noticed is that after the beeps the "z: symbol with the circle around it stays on, but I really dont know what it means. Here is a youtube video of me trying to boot it up

I have heard that it might be a battery or power supply issue but I really dont have any way of testing it out without buying one. Any suggestions?

Anybody?
