CAC Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Real answer, probably the power supply. Mine went and when you hit the power button it did absolutely nothing. So I changed it out and it fired right up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greeny Posted March 20, 2019 Author Share Posted March 20, 2019 Just now, Naraku4656 said: won't turn on or won't get passed the boot loader? The second one. It was in a "repair loop" but now it won't get past the logo screen. Tried booting from a USB stick and that wouldn't work either. Can't even get into safe mode.

Greeny Posted March 20, 2019 Author Share Posted March 20, 2019 It came with Windows 10 installed so not that old. I'll give that link a shot but I've already tried similar things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naraku4656 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 it wouldn't be able to get to the boot screen if it was completely bricked. if it's a laptop it might be harder to deal with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greeny Posted March 20, 2019 Author Share Posted March 20, 2019 It won't get to the boot screen anymore. It wouldn't, then it would, and now it won't again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
