Answer» With a failed FLOPPY drive you usually get an FDC error. In this situation I'm LEANING more towards the HDD. Are you able to boot to safe or is it the same result?It doesnt even start up and show any errors. I think it is the floppy because that is the first thing that comes on and it turns off STRAIGHT away. No fans or cd drives come on. HDD doesnt turn on either. I have removed it and tried to start it up but it does the same thing.Is the floppy light on all the time ? ? I am going to get one of MUMS friends at uni to have a look at it. I will let you know how i go. Did they look at it yet? Quote from: programming_pat on SEPTEMBER 02, 2007, 04:47:43 PM I have rung the gey who sold it to us and he said he will look at it next computer swapmeet in Ballarat. I would actually wait to see what this guy has to say about it...since he did sell it to you. Any more "monkeying" with it...may, in fact, void the warranty...if there is still a warranty on it. To be perfectly honest with you...you bought a second hand machine...it's running a PIII and only has 128MB of RAM and a 6GB HD. I can pretty much guarantee a hardware issue...and since you tossed it on the couch...there's the strong possibility you damaged the HD you currently have installed in it. There's probably other issues going on with it as well. Mind if I ask what you paid for this...in US Dollars?I paid $170 Australian dollars. I dont know what it is in us. He gave us a one month warranty. My mums friend hasent had a look at it but i have rung the guy who sold it to us and he said that he will have a look at it. I have called up the guy who sold it to us and he said that he would look at it at the next Ballarat Computer swapmeet fo us. Good...I hope he fixes it for you...free of charge.he should, i am going to borrow a laptop from one of my friends in the meantime. |
