I've been given a laptop to look at and it's puzzling me a bit.
It starts up, tries POST, then I get a blank screen.. then it whirrs for a bit, then restarts. It's annoying because I can't even get to run UBCD or run any recovery disks. Can't get into BIOS or anything. The owner reckons by pressing firmly down this enables the PC to boot into windows but only for a limited time.
There are no POST beeps codes no any error messages.
I'm having problems getting the back off as well which isn't helping.
Any ideas? I'm thinking dodgy motherboard.
