Hi Debbie,
Do you mean Windows NT4? I'm guessing it gave up the ghost. Hard drive
failure, or other major component, coincidental with the update, which there
shouldn't be any of, since NT support was eliminated years ago. 

Unplug it and pull the battery out for 30 seconds. Put it back together and
plug it in. Turn it on. Hold your fingers on the case. If you can't feel any
vibration whatsoever then it's probably the hard drive is not starting. (You
should be able to tell the difference between the fans vibration and the
hard drives as the fans start immediately and the hard drive will start
shortly after.)

Otherwise need more info.
John B.

Hi all. I have come home to a laptop that has suddenly become a brick. 

My roommate says it asked about some update and restart, now nothing works.
I get a flicker from the wireless light, but no others. I cannot turn it on
to even get a blue screen. 

It has been running NT and is a bit low on hard drive space. Other than that
everything has been doing well. 

Is this anything anyone has encountered before and knows a solution to?

Debbie
