Set the BIOS to boot a floppy first, see if you can load a boot floppy. If not, then you have a serious hardware problem, did you change any settings in the BIOS? You may need to bring it to a shop for service. If you are able to boot, then you have a hard drive problem. Check your detection settings, and download and run a drive diagnostic tool from the hard drive manufacturer to see if the drive has failed.

Hi, I have a Toshiba Satellite P200-156. The screen isn't working (back-light flickers on start-up, a couple of times, and that's it), however, when plugged into an external monitor, it does show the desktop; Very low resolution, very poor colours, alot of missing textures too & distorted images; On start-up, text is not right, with extra 'bits' added onto most letters & vertical lines over entire screen. I was guessing that the graphics card was dead since the built-in screen wasn't functioning at all, however, the VGA port for the external monitor does't work properly either with its problems (as described) and it's connected to the motherboard. The graphics card doesn't appear in device manager, but the standard VGA adaptor appears instead. I tried installing the most recent drivers for the graphics card, but on start-up, it just crashed with a blue-screen. When I booted in safe-mode, the GC appeared in the device manager instead of the VGA adaptor; I rolled the driver back so that it would work on start-up again, and it reverted back to the VGA adaptor. Could this be driver related at all, or is it hardware? Thanks

CD/DVD drive stopped working within my Sony Vaio PCG-7H1L laptop. When I put disk in, light comes on, but disk is not spinning. Does this mean I need new CD/DVD drive or is there some type of belt that needs replacement?
