A point of clarification: I don't believe the drive is at fault for the
5150 not starting up. When I push the power button on the 5150, it
comes on for just a half second and immediately shuts off. I tried
various things to get it to start, including removing the battery,
memory, and hard drive, but always the same result: no power up. So I
figure the drive could still be good since it doesn't seem to point to
the 5150's power up issue.
