Try this plug an external monitor into your laptop and run your basic mem checks , also did you buy a cheap mem card? some of them are oh not so good.\nre-configure your bios settings , make sure the c-mos batt aint dead and just for luck open her up and make sure the thin little cable that connects your screen to the motherboard aint come loose.

Hmm, i think it's a dead end. Buy a new hard drive and do not buy Dell PCs next time, they are ready to blow up. Or try booting up in a few days, there may still be miracles. If so, quickly backup all data .

We just had this problem and had to buy another one but the one we had was "corrupted" or that's what the Tech guy said! The new one works great now and is much faster!! Hope this helps you!

Is your laptop hard drive working properly?! Try running a scan-disk to make sure!

Unfortunatley, to me this sounds like you've got a hardware problem, which formatting or virus removal will not solve. If this was a tower PC, I'd tell you to open it and check the ribbons, but since it's a laptop, your probably better phoning Tech Support.

I have the same issue with mine, I am not sure of what can be done yet, as I have taken mine apart and checked all the connections / cables pertaining this this LCD problem. However,Your laptop can still work with an external monitor. So for a short term fix you need to acquire another monitor / LCD Monitors are reasonably priced now.\nUntil we find the real fix....

I had an Averatec 5400 series model computer that I bought from WalMart.  I have had troubles with it adding spaces, freezing up and eventually not booting.  I am not sure why you cannot send it to the producer, but I sent mine in for warranty repair (one year limit.  It probably was about a thousand dollar laptop, you bought it because of the features (large RAM, DVD burner, cool silver color) and now you are having problems with what ended up being second rate parts used for assembly.  How about using a USB keyboard and disabling the other one in the system hardware settings?

I would recommend to go back directly to the place you purchased the laptop from and request a refund.  It seems that you are unwilling to provide the manufacturer with proof of purchase in order for them to correct the warranty issue.  \n\nI think this goes further then the warranty though, because the place that sold you the laptop repressented it as new.  \n\nGood Luck

This sounds like a plug got lose.  Unplug the power cord (and main battery if this is a laptop) then remove the plugs in the drive, and reinsert them.   Then apply power and see if the drive is restored.  \n\nThis is just a shot in the dark, but I have seen this situation on a rare basis. \n\nGood luck

So is it not still under that warranty, I assume? (If it is send it in!) \n\nMany people buy broken laptops to either fix or strip of the other parts. I say put it up on ebay with a startng price of about $50, see if it sells for that, you may even get more, because it isn't that hard to buy and replace a harddrive! (Hell, I wouldn't mind fixing it, and I knwo how to do it! and I generally suck at computer things) It may just be more cost effective for you to get it fixed?\n\nHell, if you want to send it off and then have it shipped back to me, I'll give you $100!

Just like the guy above said. Try to reinstall the each device and their drivers.. If they seem to not work, buy new stuff and install that.
