When I turn on the computer it goes to the intel screen but will not go any further. I have tried to restart the computer over and over, but it isnt doing any good. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks |

Can you tell if the hard drive even starts to spin? Sounds like a disk failure.

it makes a quick noise like a grind for like 2 sec, then it stops. It says you can hit F10 to go to set up, but then it just says please wait and nothing happens.

how do you fix that, do I have to take it somewhere?
Also what causes that? It was working fine, battery died and now it wont work.

Wiggs,
If you have a recovery CD, use it and try to boot from the CD Rom Drive.
Then try to see if you can see your C Drive.

If it is a disk drive hardware failure, you probably don't repair it. You probably replace it.
It's possible that a computer repair service could resuscitate it enough to get some data from it if that's an issue - almost it might not be possible.

I called HP today. They told me the hard drive was completely shot. I have to send it back and it is going to take about 14 business days to get it back. That sucks

I found that connector you were looking for
Cindy, is this the thing you were looking for?
www.liangdianup.com/computeraccessories_1.htm
It's on the list of computer accessories and parts. They have the DVI video thing to convert that jap monitor to work with your other computer. Just about any other kind of wire adaptor, usb connectors, monitor extension wires, ps2 extention wires, and all kinds of female and male swap connectors and things that I think would help your shop. If that above link don't work then goto www.lducompany.com and click on computer accessories. Let me know if that is what you need and give me your email address again.
