Solved Laptop not booting

Hi guys,


A friend of mine is having a bit of trouble with her laptop a Fujitsu Siemens Amilio. Apperently her daughter shut the laptop down, by using the power button. Now it will not boot. The lights come on the, screen remains black (no backlight, splash screen ect.). It actually does nothing as if its off or hibernating, in sleep mode, but I cannot wake it. cannot go into safe mode, BIOS or anything. I put the recovery disc in hdd light flickers the disk get read then nothing.


Hope you maybe able to help

have you tried holding the power button?

Yes, but that did'nt work neither did removing the battery / ac and holding down the power button for upto 3mins.

It could be the PSU or the Motherboard gone. Is it still under warranty.

I believe its about 5 years old. So I shouldn't imagine it will be.

Oh that is a shame, could you take it to a local computer repair shop and ask them to look at it.

I will inform my friend of that. Pitty

Please tell me outcome.

Will do..

Do you think removing the BIOS battery would do any good.


Wizzkid.

What would happen if I removed the Bios battery. Think that may do some good..

Wizzkid

Go for it. Nothing to lose.

It is worth a try.

Succes my friends............. Removed BIOS battery for about 5 mins just to give it a bit of time. replaced everything (nothing much) booted up and BINGO.........working. Hope this helps anyone with a similar problem..
