Hello, at fist excuse my non perfect English, thank you. (it's a foreign language to me)
Okay, I really hope from my heart somebody can help me
The issue: I own a Travelmate 4500 and all was super, until 5 hours ago... (that's the time I already used to grow grey hair trying to find a solution )
Here exactly what happened:
(1) While working, he turned off (I thought loss of power, but the external HDD worked, so that wasn't it).
(2) I pressed Power, the white ACER screen came up, I pressed F2 to check the setup and was hoping that it was just a short clinch with minimal loss of data in windows, but... a few seconds later, the screen turned black..
(3) I pressed power again to turn it off, again to turn it on and this time, black already, no ACER white-screen at all...
(4) What happens if I press power now, is always the same > the fan starts, the DVD-Drive makes short sound + HDD starts (as it all should usually) -> but then after3 seconds or so, without beep, the fan turns off, the HDD keeps turning, but nothing else happens anymore - all black like dead
I hope I explained it good enough to enable you to help me, PLEASE!!
Millions of thanks in advance + all the best to everybody helping others here (I didn't find a solution searching so I thought I have to ask),
the desperate David in Trouble (I have exams in 2 days, isn't it great timing.. Murphy? Why me???)
PS: I "love" computers *sniff* - I'm luck it's no HDD crash, although... I have backups, so that wouldn't be that bad, but a non-working computer, aaargh
