Bring it to the shop if it is still under warranty, otherwise, anything you did, especially on hardware might void the warranty and ending up costing you more.

install drivers for your computer.\nsame happened to me yesterday all you have to do is install the drivers with the video card you're working with.

Sounds like the INI startup file is corrupt. Try putting your windows system CD in the CD drive and start your computer. Try starting the computer in safe mode. If you get it to turn on go directly to system restore. It could also be the screen lamp is burned out or broken.

You won't be able to tell anything until it is turned on. Check all the drives and make sure they are working, the amount of memory, hard drive (check this in the BIOS). Listen for strange noises with the power supply fan, CPU fan and hard drive.

I need more info.\nDo you ever see the Windows logo? If so then there is probably something wrong w/ the windows files. Trying tapping F8 during bootup and select "safe mode"\n\nDo you just get the HP logo? Then it's something hardware related. And that could be almost anything. Did you change anything else besides the hard drive?\nThis board also seems pretty old, so it might just be dead.

If the monitor actually says "no signal" chances are your graphics card is set to output a videosignal your monitor doesn´t support but windows may have started up normally. You just can see it. I accidentally did this once and had no choice but to reinstall windows. Which in turn required me to format my hard drive. Don´t do that just yet. Someone else may have a simpler solution...

Is this laptop new (like maybe only a few months old)?\nIf not then you might need to update you're video driver, or reinstall it.\n\nIf still nothing, goto control panel, click display.\nGoto the last tab and click the advanced button.\nAt that point I really can't help you too much, just find something that talks about a 2nd screen/monitor.

I suspect the bios battery has gone dead.  I would look on ebay and find one and replace it.  If it still does not boot the IBM iSeries are getting rather old, so it might be time to retire it?  If you have an attachement and stuff on the laptop you need to retrieve you can go to local laptop service center and for a $60+ diagnosis fee they will tell you what is wrong and how much to repair.  Should you repair it they will usually apply the diagnosis fee to the repair costs.

You need to reinstall the video drivers...If you have onboard video go to the motherboard manufacturers website...If you have a video card go to nVidia or ATI site and download the driver there...If you have a Dell, Compaq or something like that go to their site and they should have the drivers for you model of PC

Go to "my computer" and right-click and go to properties.  Then click the "hardware" tab.  Then click on "device manager."  Make sure your webcam is plugged in.  See if there is a webcam listed in the "device manager."  If not, you may need to install a driver that came with it on a CD, or download a driver from the manufacturer.\n\nIf the webcam does show up in the device manager, delete it, and shut down your computer.  Then unplug the webcam.  Boot up your computer until it has finished loading completely.  Then plug the webcam back in, and try using it or installing it again.

you need a windows disc. something has happened to you system files on the HD, it might jsut be a cable came out though, have a check when the computer is turned off.

Try running checkdisk on it.  If that doesn't work, it's probably not going to open.

are you powering up with your battery alone, or are you plugged into an outlet?\n\nhow old is your computer? is it worth spending money to fix it by going to a computer repair shop?  are your files very valuable?
