Laptop Won't Start

My old (1 year and 3 weeks old) Compaq laptop died last week, leaving me without effective internet access. Sure enough my Nokia N95 has the ability but the keyboard and screen size makes it tiresome, not to mention having to manually go through all the incoming spam rather than letting Thunderbird handle it all for me.

I have purchased a new Toshiba laptop with a 3 year warranty so hopefully this one will be designed to last a bit longer.
