Laptop cannot bootup
My laptop cannot boot. After powering on, I just hear fan noise without any signal on the black screen. the laptop has two stick of RAM and one harddrive. To rule out the reason, I removed them one by one and then powered on. But I have not found any difference before and after the removal. I did not hear any beep etc except fan noise. The screen is always black without any signal. Any one can give me some suggestion ? Thank you
Another thing that I had not told is that the laptop had been running for long time without shutting down. I do not know if this is a reason and which part is easily damaged.

To see if display is bad. Do you see any bios? Boot from a cd. You removed both ram at the same time? With external display you may need to do a Function Key. Try dropping from shoulder height onto floor. That s a joke...

basically it is to get more power for your HDD. so use regular USB port (both of them). it is only a fact that USB port has max 500mA, if disk needs more you can use such a cable and power it from 2 USB ports (2x 500mA).

Hi I took the hard drive out of the old laptop. and connected it to the new laptop. from there I can see the hard drive, but I cannot see some of folder even if i checked the folder option to show hidden folder. Do you think something is wrong ? thank you
If you cannot see all of the data it means the hard drive was either corrupted by an operating system failure or by a hardware error on the disk. In either case, unless the data was critical, take what you can and write the rest off as lost.
