PLEASE!!! Computer HELP!
 
Please, anyone who knows about computers... I'm panicking here.

I was using my desktop this morning as usual, then I disconnected from the web and went and did some stuff. About 45 minutes later, I came back and the monitor was blank - in safe mode or whatever.

The light on the front of the tower was on, so the computer was on, but NOTHING was there. No humming of it working... nothing.

I tried turning it off and on... nothing.

I tried all the plugs and wires... nothing.

Does anyone have any idea what it could be? This is actually making me sick to my stomach when I think of all the things I have on that computer.

SOS!!!!:( :( :(

Possibly a storm or some electrical surge...

First, please do EVERYTHING that you did over again! Unplug everything, plug in everything, check ALL the cords & wires for a tight fit. Check your surge protector for the plugs and switch being on. If this does not work then you might have some problems.

BUT, PLEASE DON'T WORRY!!! No matter what happens to your computer, you will be able to recover almost or everything. Unfortunatly computers may be expensive, but your info is important. If you still have problems, find a good tech person or contact the company you bought it from if you have a warrantly. If the problems cannot be resolved, you will need to contact a tech person to recover you hard drive and everything on it, no big deal.

GOOD LUCK, I really wish I could be of some help

What happens when you turn it off and then again? Can you hear anything starting up?

Just a tiny noise like it is trying to but can't.

I need to post some pics to sell a couple things and I can't from this laptop cause I can't find Paint to resize them. Is there any way to resize them other than using Paint? I know I must sound stupid but I am freaking here.

Gingergirlsmom 08-25-2007 08:13 AM
Yike...no advice I'm not good with computers....but I feel your pain. When I owned my own business my computer crashed one day...all of the businesses records and finances were on there...and of course, I wasn't as dedicated to backing up as I should have been.

My computer was beyond repair so I bought a new one and a tech came in, pulled all the info off my old hard drive and placed in on the new one.

Whew!!!!

I'm better at backing up now:rolleyes:

Anyway, good luck, hopefully if all is lost all is NOT really lost. I think a good tech could recover your idata.

Are you able to boot your puter up in safe mode at all??

I've done it all 3 or 4 times. I really am not in the place where I can handle stress well... I know it's stupid but that computer is like my life line. Money is another problem... I was just getting ready to post a couple of nice carriers to sell... now I don't know how to resize them on this laptap. D********** I'm so not good with this stuff.

It turns on and that's it. Nothing comes onto the screen at all. I'll check to see if I have MS office pic. I don't use this laptop very often.

Amber_lv 08-25-2007 08:20 AM

:( Im sorry thats what happened to mine as well

I wish I knew more to tell you

tiggerr36792 08-25-2007 08:25 AM
Theres a few things we can try to do to get it to boot up. If these don't work It could be the hard drive went out. Don't stress I will PM you.

judyeve 08-25-2007 08:35 AM
Don't panic! Safe Mode sucks, but it does help save your data. Worst case scenario, Geek time. You can recover your data. It happened to me. I think it cost about $150 because I had some other things added at the same time.

Good luck!

Ok are you calling me a Geek,lol!! Just kidding

I'm pretty computer literate so I'm going to do what I can for her.

I use photobucket to resize pics. All the pics in my photo gallery are done using photobucket. It only takes a click of the mouse to do. It is so easy anyone can do it. I love photobucket. It is free too.

jencar98 08-25-2007 09:10 AM
Irfanview is another free site for resizing pictures.

Isn't Yt great!!!! I did what I could for her, but unfortunately the cd rom won't even open up to try to boot from the recovery disks. I'm pretty sure its the hard drive, but shes got some options for repair.

It is great!! Luckily, with today's technology, unless the hard drive is completely toasted, usually the hard drive can be removed and the information retrieved (by someone way smarter than me).

Good Luck Omega.

I have several resize programs but my fav. is Image Resizer from Microsofts Powertoys,it is right in the IE Browser and all you have to do is rightclick then on resize , select the size and thats it :D If anyone interested pm me and i will send the download ! Or get it from Microsoft !

Paint
 
The easy way to see if your laptop has it, if you want to check, is go to start, run and type mspaint

And yes, your hard drive is usually recoverable. If you don't even have power to open your cd rom, it could be your power supply. Any lights? Can you hear the exhaust fan?

Yeah, the lights go on but nothing else, so the power is getting to it. Thanks!
