My laptop is misbehaving
Hi everyone,
Some of you might know that my computer skills aren't the best... I'm having problems switching my laptop on. Basically, what happens is this:
Switch on laptop, the green power light comes on, as does the caps lock and num lock lights. There is no action from the little light that indicates the hard disk (or whatever it's called) is working. The "fan" comes on, so there is power, but nothing else happens. The screen is black. The laptop is plugged into the mains, so it's got power.
It first happened yesterday, but after trying a couple of times, it worked fine. I've tried at least a dozen times today, but no luck.
Has anyone an idea as to what I need to do? Buy a new one? Take it to tech support (not that I have one)?
I'm typing this from my old old laptop, which hasn't been switched on for years. As long as I don't move it, it works, but it's not ideal...
Thanks for any help!
