The CMOS was fine, pumping out a healthy 3 volts. A check of the mother board was NOT satisfactory; so at 3.00pm Friday decided to buy new laptop. Purchased but then the retailer could not find the battery - and it was the last of its type on offer. Decided to drive to Stamford branch to collect from their stock. After 30 miles and traffic jams I arrived 10 minutes after they closed. Will have to return to Stamford tomorrow.
Meanwhile have loaded hard drive from old dead laptop into caddy and will spend the evening recovering documents. Bliss
