Oh noes!

Good people of this hardware forum, i come to you in a dire crisis.

Now ive got that out of the way:

Laptop was recently sat on by someone, that seems to have broken it.

If you push the power button, the power symbol and the battery symbol will turn on, and it will load (1 out of every 250 odd tries) but most of the time all the symbols will light up, then it will shut itself off.

Problem #1: it doesnt start most of the time
Problem #2: When it does start, after a few minutes, it instantly turns off, no warnings, everything just goes black.


Whats going on! Is it the power?

AAGGH

Ive got all my important data at least.

Thanks

Change the battery of the laptop, it's your first bet.

[Caius]

Try to make it run by AC.

[pevergreen]

Both batteries are fully charged, the laptop has to have a battery in to run.

Sometimes one battery wont work, changing it might.

Dad's taken it into work, hopefully it will be ok :sick:

So, the question in everybody's mind: "Who sat on the laptop?".

[pevergreen]

A stupid girl before math. :no:

A stupid girl before math. :no:

Demand she buy you a new one, and if she refuses bring down the wrath of peverpink on her(though that doesn't sound like it'd be too bad :tongue:).

I shall rain terror and fluffy pink bears upon you. You shall perish under the formidable torrent of pink paper love hearts!

[edyzmedieval]

Rain it upon me. I love fluffy bears (ok, not pink) and with the terror I can easily deal with. :daisy:

I suggest you do something with that girl. Not too extreme, but she has to give something in return for that laptop. ~D

Dad said the guys at work are inputting codes or something...

Whats codes going to help with...and if it doesnt turn on, where are you inputting these codes to?

[Raz]

Don't worry Pinky, I swear that Rudd was going to give every student a laptop... right? :inquisitive:

[Viking]

A stupid girl before math. :no:

~:eek:

Show some care for your laptop. Leave the lid open next time. :whip:

[Caius]

Is she good looking?

[drone]

She's been a very naughty girl, and deserves a spanking!

[pevergreen]

moving on from that.

dad got it working all day, brings it home and now it doesnt work at all.

The power symbol will go on for 3-4 seconds, then off.

Apparently Ctrl+Shift+k made it work, doesnt anymore.

[rajpoot]

Bad to worse?! Well you have the girl at your mercy now anyway. That should count for something. :balloon2:

[LeftEyeNine]

What an *** indeed.

Was the laptop upside down when that mega meaty zeppelin landed on it ?
