| 1167977 | 2011-01-07 09:47:00 | Running W7 . Seems to start - but doesn't; no screen; keyboard seemingly disabled; movie control buttons illuminate; DVD drive noises heard . . . Best guess Inadequate hard drive free space, as lots of system fonts were added, as well as styles and brush add-ons for photoshop . Estimate HDD about 80% full, probably standard sized HDD as supplied with such models . Scenario Was running OK on mains power; Photoshop open and working; visitors arrived; presume laptop went into sleep or hibernate mode; when returned to laptop - it was seemingly frozen . Powered down by holding down the [start] button . A range of re-start options tried, with mains, battery, even after removing the battery; leaving off for 20 minutes . Nothing! Got any ideas, forumites? |

| 1167980 | 2011-01-07 11:56:00 | Give this a go h20000.www2.hp.com Wouldn't recommend this though! :waughh: www.laptoprepair101.com This will most likely be your problem (as Cyabro inferred) www.socialroast.com |

| 1167981 | 2011-01-08 23:54:00 | Did you try safe mode? Wanuitech's suggestion is the best way to test the display/kb/mouse though. | Blam (54) | ||
| 1167982 | 2011-01-13 22:46:00 | :thanks I do appreciate all the helpful insights! CYaBro: yes, I think so. Blam: It wont boot into any damn mode! No BIOS beeps, either, even with the RAM removed. Wainuitech: wont do it with either linux or mini XP Feersumendjinn: I've passed the laptop on to a local tech. That was yesterday, so I've e-mailed him the links. Did enjoy the cooking-the-laptop stories! :illogical |

| 1167983 | 2011-01-14 11:20:00 | Damn. E-mail from Techie saying the CPU is cooked. Possibly because of fan failure. :badpc: Anyone selling a laptop (not HP or comcrap!) that will meet the system requirements (secondlife.com) for second life? |
