As above really. I now no longer use my laptop because I've finished Uni. It has a relatively new HDD in that I installed about October '08 iirc. Will it stop working if I don't use it? i.e. seize up? Don't want to rely on my laptop one day, press the power button and nothing happen

Id say your running a risk not having it turned on every so often to be honest.

Two tech guys giving different answers
I'd say you won't have any issues. I've recently pulled out a 386 from the loft which has been up there at least 6 years. Powered up through Dos 6.22 and into Windows 3.11 spot on.

If you sit your laptop inside 10cms of water until you want to re-use it that will keep everything ticking over.
