Hi my 17" dell laptop model no:pp31l has stopped working it just says bootmgr is missing
This could be due to a CD or DVD left inside the DVD drive. The laptop may be trying to boot from that instead of the hard disk. Make sure no USB flash drives or CD/DVDs are left connected/inserted. If the laptop is trying to boot from the hard disk then the files on the hard disk may be corrupted. This is hard to correct without risking loss of your data. Try running the diagnostics by pressing the 'Fn' key (keep it pressed) and press the power button to turn the laptop on. You should be able to access the diagnostics from there.

How to format my Dell computer
Your drive may be toast. You need to find the right F key (typically F2 or F8 or F12) to open the BIOS menu. Start pounding on one while booting until you find it. You may have to try all 12 F keys. Once you get the BIOS menu (not the boot menu), there should be a device section. Make sure your C: drive is visible to the BIOS. If not, the drive is usually bad and needs replaced. You will need a drive preloaded with WIndows, or you will also need the Dell recovery CD set. However, if the C: drive looks OK, next find the right F key to open the boot menu. There should be options there to boot Windows, Safe Mode, Restore to a previous check point, or recover to factory settings. If this does not work, you will need to get the Recovery CD set from Dell for your model. Be warned this usually destroys all old data files.

Hi Royce,
You need to replace your laptop battery - its dead. To prove this, take the battery off and just plug the mains charger in. The light should stay solid white.
Many thanks,
Jon.
