Question I have been given an E-System laptop and when the power-on button is pressed the hard-drive light flashes twice but boot-up doesn't follow. The screen lights up OK with the Intel logo in the centre, but nothing else happens. What are the possible faults and remedies?
Answer Hi Ray, when the screen lights up are you given the option to press a key to get into the BIOS/Setup? If so, can you get into it? If you can get into the BIOS, look to see what it shows for a hard drive. This sounds like the machine is not finding a boot device. Will it boot from CD?
