Helpwanted- dead computer
A merry Christmas to one and all
BUT - help needed.
My daughter's 'emachine' is playing up.
Or not - in fact it's doing virtually nothing.
Power on, the fans start, one on the power supply unit, one on the CPU cooling fins.
Next the A drive and the D drive (DVD) mutter gently to themselves for a couple of seconds -
Then the C drive - hard disk - makes its usual few scratching noises and then
a big fat nothing....
Nothing at all appears on the monitor apart from plain blue (which is what it shows when its disconnected from the computer anyway)
Sorry I can't tell you details of all the components - there's no documentation,
So - please can pprune help me to impress the family this Christmas and provide a clue..please..
And of course best wishes for a Happy New Year to you all.
