| 1365800 | 2014-01-22 04:18:00 | My OLD workshop laptop, a Compaq running Windows, suddenly will not boot. The screen comes up with a memory test ok, and the next line is 02 00004 0000A8AA. That's as far as it gets. Do these numbers ring a bell with anyone? Nothing comes up about them for me on an internet search. I took out the HD, checked it as a slave in another computer - looks like it still goes - files on it are still there. Thanks for any ideas. |
