I would imagine if it was the cpu that's bad, it would still start up, just not POST.  I bet something happened with the psu.

And now your desktop is having issues?  Damn.  Is it running Windows or Linux?

You could be right but if there was anything left in the battery he'd be able to boot from that.

If it really got that hot it probably fried (deballed) the mobo.

Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

There is an exception to every rule, apart from this one.

Battery still feeds the PSU so no, he wouldn't be able to boot.

well as you can see I'm just back on line .
Desktop
It was a update in Windows 7 to do with Office ( I think).
it just froze on me and after a reboot it did the weirdest of things  :o
At the Bios boot screen the system kept stalling at finding secondary hdd on boot up ,I disconnected what i thought was the hdd only to realize it was the dvd drive I removed by error.
It worked though and the system rebooted to my desktop (No idea why this worked, can only assume the system lost the plot on what drive did what ?)
ran the update again (a few times ) and all seems well.I use Auslogics http://www.auslogics.com/en/ which I ran a few times to tidy the errors up and all is great .TOUCH WOOD  ;D ;D

laptop
Not as bad as i thought.
After leaving overnight ( I couldn't be bothered to look at the time of incident)
I thought I'd take out the battery and run with only the psu plugged in, what i thought was the laptop psu lead turned out to be the wife's HTC phone  charger. DERRR ME  ;D ;D ;D ;D
(I hate the amount of different chargers we have). After i realized this i plugged in the laptop charger and removed my battery and it started.
Battery must have got so hot it just used all the power up
I have charged the battery since and all is OK. Lucky Me  :) :) up to now !!
The only good thing to come out of all of this is, when i stripped my laptop i found I had 1 x 4gb ram not 2 x 2 gb as I thought.
So i ordered another stick of 4gb to max it out

Goldie, I'm not sure whether or not to laugh, but I did anyway.

I saw a goat once that thought it was a dog. Seriously.

Right now I have just finished the weekly shop and I am fit to drop.  I might load up King's Bounty 2 though.
