Are you holding down the "c" key when you start it up with the os install cd in the optical drive? You have to do this for it to boot into the install disk.

Thanks for the quick reply mayer....:) I've already done all the things you suggested in regards to the start up problem I'm having. What has me perplexed is the fact that there was never any boot up problems at any time after the unit was dropped, you just couldn't view the entire lcd screen as it was fractured diagonally. After I replaced the lcd screen it started up right away with no problem and continued to do so for a couple of days, then out of the blue, it suddenly began this anomalous behavior. In regards to the battery, I do have the computer optimized for highest performance using custom energy settings which may also be a contributing factor to the rather quick battery power dissipation along with the fact that it is an old battery but I will download the battery health software you suggested. BTW I did run it down to 0% and then plugged in the ac adapter and it is charging nicely, currently at 83% and rising....:) Cheers

Possibly your power supply has failed.
