Yesterday I went to my aunt's place with my laptop in a bag. When I went to turn it on it was screwed up. The screen won't turn on. The light on the caps lock button keeps flashing and the light that indicates whether the WiFi signal is connected shows it's not ( Read more... )

Something similar happened to me so I took my battery out for 24 hours, put it back in and it was fine so you could try that.

*shrugs* I figured asking couldn't make it worse and it's worth the tiny chance someone might be able to help.

A make and model number would help us diagnose your problem

and by diagnose i mean google it for you.

It's an HP Pavilion. I don't know the model number.

Thank you for the link I'll try those solutions.

It should say right there on the laptop.

Okay, I checked under the battery case and found it. Model # G62-435DX.

So how badly is it fucked up?
No way of knowing with so little information.

Is there a way to fix this or will I have to get a new laptop?
No way of knowing with so little information.

If I have to get a new laptop will I be able to take the hard drive out of this one and put it in the new one?

Get someone to look at it. Google it. Go here & give them all your info - computerhelp.

I edited the post to add more info but I doubt it will help much.

I plan on getting someone to look at it but I didn't want to bother him if I didn't have to.

I don't know, I am just here to say I hope it will be okay or just something simple to fix. I was lucky recently when my computer fell on the floor and miraculously still worked the following day.

That's one of the things that's confusing to me. I dropped it once about a year ago but it was fine. Yesterday I don't remember any bumps or drops at all.
