After reading the post from another school technician here, I tried booting the nc6000 and applying pressure to the palm rest area on the right side of the trackpad, and this worked fine to make it boot. In cases where a laptop travels often or is dropped, parts of the chasis might come loose. TO give a more proper fix without pricey repair, fold up a sheet of printer paper into a small square and place it inside the case in the area that the pressure is needed.
