Solve : Laptop froze, now just black screen & no boot sequence? |
|
Answer» Was browsing the web and my 3 year old Samsung NC20 laptop just froze. Couldn't get any movement so turned off, waited a minute and turned BACK on. Now when pressing the start button there appears to be no boot up, the screen remains black, the only LED's lit up are the 'on' and the charging/charged LED's, the FAN whirs and gets hot but there is no other sign of life. ...Have so far tried taking out and reinstalling the battery, memory module and HD but no change...Not a good sign for a netbook or notebook. Not much else you can do. Thanks for the response CC. Maybe someone more knowledgeable than me COULD suggest a more in depth diagnostic procedure to try and pinpoint the cause of the problem.

In my opinion you have done all of the possible checks a user could perform on an apparently DEAD laptop; the next step would be to take it to a repair shop for a diagnosis and repair quote. Possibly if the moptherboard has failed then it will be necessary to consider whether repair is economic. The hard drive could be removed and personal file transferred to a new machine. As the days go by I'm beginning to come to that conclusion also. |
