    Laptop booting problem
    « on: April 01, 2008, 12:01:18 PM »
    Hello everyone

    I have a serious problem with my laptop at the moment.

    Bluntly it won't start properly lights on but no diskdrive light flashing or screen output

    I decided it was time for a spyware check so started an AOL spyware scan and left it for about 2 hours closed (screen down). After returning to it the lights were on but the screen will not show anything after trying most of the buttons I tryed restarting only to find it unable to boot  properly the light on the keyboard will show but nothing is responsive.

    On power button it boots up I can hear the sound of it booting up then suddenly it stops and dies down...but with lights still on with no screen output

    If anyone could help me with this matter I would be very gratefull

    Can you boot into safe mode?

      Not sure what is going on. HD failure?

      Might be time for a repair shop diagnosis. You might try posting in the Computer Hardware forum. They will probably know a few things to try.

        ok thanks your help again, I will try at the hardware section

        (I thought it may have been some kind of virus which had been dectected then activated or something like that)

        If it is a virus there isn't much we can do until you can atleast get it into safe mode.

        Good luck.
