Answer» trying to figure out whats wrong with my almost new Laptop. i went out for an hour or so and left it on and when i got back it was a blank screen Was anybody else around while you went out? Family member, room mate, etc? Quote from: Salmon Trout on July 10, 2011, 01:16:49 PM Was anybody else around while you went out? Family member, room mate, etc? nope, i live solo and the comp was in the same spot when i came back home just with a blank screen and then the error message. what are you guys thinking.? even if it was dropped what does that meen? but like said it was running normal as could be..then nottaI was wondering if a "little brother" etc had been fooling with it and is scared to confess. Sounds like you need to take a trip to a repair shop. what can a repair shop do for me that i CANT do myself.? should i replace hard drive..? maybe sumthing else? thanks for ur helpIn the category of "is it plugged in" --is there any media in any of the drives? truenorth P.S. Re this question "what can a repair shop do for me that i cant do myself." Depending on your personal expertise and knowledge perhaps a fair sized book would be needed to answer that question. This too could be a long answer "should i replace hard drive..? maybe sumthing else?" Particularly the latter part of it. As to the 1st part of course you CAN do that if it doesn't bother you that that may NOT be the PROBLEM. Were it me i would like to have a better awareness of the likely problem BEFORE i started replacing things. thats why im asking here_"maybe not the right move"? _ i was just asking for a lill help to help better understand what the prob may be with this here pc_ im sure my prob is not the first of its kind to happen- whatever that may be.. ?!

A MILLION nonworking laptops are born every day. How do you expect a bunch of strangers on the web to give you a completely accurate diagnosis? It clearly isn't finding a bootable drive. Whether that is the drive or the hard disk controller on the motherboard or some other thing like a cable, we cannot tell. A repair shop would be able to open it up and check the cable, swap a drive in and see if that fixed the trouble. if it didn't, they might suggest something else. You doing it at home are gonna have to buy a hard drive and if that does not fix it you'll still have a nonworking laptop and you'll be out the money you spent on the drive. See the difference?
