But if you didn't backup the common thing is to remove the HDD for use in some USB HDD to copy what we forgot out prior to sending it in for repair.
Alright, I've looked this up and seemingly everyone with this problem somehow had it resolved. I am not so lucky.
I shut down my laptop for the night, and the next morning it would not boot back up.
There are two LED indicator lights on the front of it that turn on, a lightbulb which is white, and a green one for the battery when I have the charger plugged in.
I've tried different things, such as taking the battery out, unplugging the adapter, holding the power button for x amount of time... None of it seems to make a difference. The fan doesn't start, drive doesn't boot up. It's just the LED lights.
I've had this laptop for two years now I think, and have taken good care it.
This thing is my baby, pretty much. If anyone knows what I should do, I would really appreciate the help. And... sorry if this is really long.
