Hi all.
I tried to turn on my trusty old laptop today that was working a couple of days ago but keep getting stuck with a blank screen.
I get the splash screen, loading bars then the screen goes blank ... the backlight is working. I've left it just sitting for hours but nothing working.
I have managed to get to the system restore menu by pressing f8 on startup, and am in the middle.of running hardware diagnostics - so far no errors logged on CPU, memory and hdd test says linear, random and funnel seek tests are ok - I will.update thread when test is complete (only 3% left surface scan test)
The system.ia running vista and has been fine up until.now.
I only run the laptop on AC as the battery has long since died.
Any ideas? I'm so frustrated as I need to access my docs!!!
Thanks in advance
