I have a gateway solo 2500 i bought from eBay, it did work when i got it and did for about three weeks then crashed, it just wouldn't boot back up, i remember i was using it and i closed the lid so the baby wouldn't play with the keys but when i came back and opened the lid it wouldn't come back, i held the power button down and then tried to boot it again but nothing
Upon closer examination of my laptop when trying to boot it i noticed that when you press the power button looking at the system status indicator LCDs the hard drive icon flicks once and the CD ROM icon flicks once the light on the CD ROM flicks and makes a clicking noise, but stops dead, the power light goes on and its fan, the CPU fan doesn't move, then the battery gauge icon, charge icon and the AC power adapter icon stays on.
if you put a CD in the drive it's light flashes a couple of times and you can hear the CD spin but then it stops and nothing. i tried a dos start up with floppy but nothing, I'm clutching at straws at present but i don't know what to do.
pls help me
