I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 and it wont turn on. I mean i can turn it on but it doesn’t go directly to windows like it always does but instead it just does a blank screen with a blinking cursor on the top left. Before my laptop just freezes and turns off by itself [...]
My Acer Aspire Notebook turns off all by itself just after turning on, or after Windows shows up. I can hear a click from inside, than it’s off. First of all, turn on the notebook and listen for the cooling fan. Does it spin at all? Usually you can see the cooling fan though the [...]
I dropped my dell laptop, now it turns on & shows the xp windows logo. I notice the the booting bar is in activation but it does not stop, ever. Most likely you damaged the hard drive. Listen closely for noises coming from the hard drive when the laptop tries loading Windows. Can you hear [...]
Mine is Toshiba Satellite u300-11v. I have it for the past 2 years. I never carried it anywhere. It is making huge grinding noise when starting it for the first time, now a days it is making noise even when starting it from hibernation. I don’t know exactly weather fan or hard drive makes noise.

I have a Dell Inspiron 9400 laptop and a few months ago two very thin (one-pixel-wide) vertical lines appeared to the very left of my 17 inch screen, one green, one yellow. Since it was a minor nuisance I ignored it. Week by week, one or two more would appear gradually more and more to [...]
After changing the hard drive in my laptop, I am getting the following error message: PXE-E61 PXE-M0F Operating system not found You can get this message if the hard dive is bad OR there is no operating system installed. Didn’t you forget to reimage the hard drive using the recovery disc which usually comes with [...]
Yesterday when I started my laptop it displayed the Lenovo screen as usual but after that instead of booting it displayed a blank screen with white cursor blinking at the top right corner.
