It is a Lenovo ThinkPad W500 running Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit. My cat knocked it down while it was in sleep mode. No battery backup, as the laptop has a bad battery and I was using AC. The cat was running after getting freaked out, got caught on the charging cord, kept running, brought the charging cord down along with the the laptop it was plugged into. The laptop fell down on the ground covered with carpet about a fwithof where it was. Now, when I boot it up, it shows that classic command prompt black screen with that dash like character waiting until you enter a character, but since it is mid boot, it won't allow me to enter a character. I am behind 15 important Windows Update, and my Windows Defender has been out of date for the past few weeks, but I did 8 Windows Updates today using my phone hotspot, 1 GB 3G data, and you can only do so much with that, partly used, even less. And some web browsing. I constantly put it in sleep mode at regular intervals when it was on to prevent overheating. I have a friend with a Win7 PC that shows that screen for 5-15 mins before boot up, hope that happened if anything happened to it and hope nothing got damaged, if anything at all. Nothing happening negaitive would be preferrable. CD or DVD fixes are out of the question, as I have had my DVD drive driver not working for the past few weeks. I do have access to USB flash drives, 8, 32, and 64 GB ones. USB 2.0- my 8 GB, one 32 GB USB 3.0- one 32 GB, my 64 GB. Will try booting up later snd waiting longer in case it is a case of slow boot up. Please, HELP, as I need to do things on this computer! At least I have my data backed up, so I can use a friends computer. The computer is a laptop, if it helps. Scared to go into BIOS, s I do not know what to do in BIOS. Do I press the blue ThinkVantage button to go into BIOS? I will try safe mode, etc., when I get instructions on how to.
