Does the hard disk drive spin up when the laptop is booted?
Yes
Otherwise - need to know the POST code for that laptop, one long, 2
seconds and another long ...
That's what i can't find.
Have you checked the hdd on a desktop using an adapter?
The hdd is fine, and even with a faulty or no hdd i should have a picture on
my external monitor.
I removed hdd, dvdrw, wlan... same problem, no post, only a long beep every
sec.
