My daughter has a Compaq Presario V2000 laptop, 4 months old, AMD processor, Windows XP, not sure on exact specifications. Tonight the laptop was working fine until it was left running for about 2 hours. When she retuned to use it the screen was blank and would not come back on. It normally goes into standby and when power button is pressed starts back up again. Tonight nothing.
I've rebooted several times - nothing. I inserted the recovery disc and restarted - nothing on screen so I turned laptop off and removed disc.
The laptop sounds like it's running normally. The battery was fully charged prior to going blank. Running off AC makes no difference.
It has updated AVG installed but I can't be sure how long ago it was run last.
Any ideas??
Please tell me it's not cactus - it has all her uni work on it and I just found out its not backed up
Are there any other machines that have caused more grief to the human race than computers??
Thanks
