If something happens on the screen but isn't what you want to happen, press and hold the on-off switch. After several seconds it will shut the system off. Try turning it back on again. I do this occasionally when I get the dreaded blue screen (actually, on mine its more of a fuzzy gray screen) on start-up. VillageTinker gave good advice. F8 should get your computer to boot up in safe mode. If not, try F10 (which works on my Hewlitt-Packard). Good luck! |

If this is a laptop, try removing the battery, or, if that is not possible, unplug the laptop and allow the battery to completely discharge.
Also, to get into the SAFE mode, I think you need to continue pressing and releasing the F8 key while the computer is booting, not press and hold it. |

What did they say when you called a computer store?

The battery may have overheated. Hold the Power button until it shuts down, let it cool for a while. Elevate it so that the fan can blow the heat from below. Restart the computer. This worked for my Sony.

My suggestion would be that you take it to MMD computer repair in Lady Lake, 2 blocks south of 466 intersection on the east side of 441. Excellent repair facility, very fair in what they charge.

They can be fixed and updated to the newest version of Windows 10 which will be supported by Microsoft for about 2 more years. I repair these laptops for $40/hr. plus parts. Many times they need more memory or solid state hard drives to bring the speed back up. If you have a recent backup, restoration is much faster a cheaper. Contact me to discuss your situation at what you had on the machine for quess about what it will take to get the machine working again. Mike 513--646-6523 |
