First you may want to recall what you have previously done to the computer before reboot, downloaded, removed, changed, etc. How many, if any, Virus Protection software(s) do you have? If, after rebooting again, and seeing no sign of progress, including no Windows, or whatever operating system, logo, then you may want to check if your laptop is plugged in, or remove the battery and put in after a few hours. If it still does not respond your boot.ini file may be corrupted, or plausibly another Win32 file. If, with these suggestions, cannot come to a positive conclusion you may visit my website at wce.page.tl and go to the "Contact" section or email me at will.liljon@gmail.com.

The first thing is to check if other parts of laptop work. Connect an external monitor through video output. If you get a good picture - your laptop screen is broken, to be precise, - it might be broken inverter or light bulb. Anyway, all screen parts are supplied in one module that can be replaced. Search for a good online store for your screen replacement (it should be within $100-200 depending on model). Look at illustrated online guide how to replace LCD screen.

The laptop is clearly suffering from some sort of start up issue.

I would run the operating systems recovery disc, to check for errors.

the main issue will be with your hard drive, siplmy go to your bios settings (rather f8 or f12) and look for boot settings change this to dvd/cd then restart your computer.

Recovery dicks normally solve the issue, run serval scans on your memory just in case, if it is still not work then run in safe mode and stop most of the processes with your start up mode.

If when you boot your machine up your hardrive is maing no noise this means your hard drive is not working or reading any data. In this situation its best to take the hard drive out and give it to somebody who knows what they are doing, a shop? or me :)

Ah this has happen to me before. If you are really dedicated to the game you can reboot your laptop. You would have to save all your files on a USB or Maxtor because when you reboot your laptop it deletes EVERYTHING even you Internet connection so you would have to reconnect you Internet using your code on your wireless. Or just take the game back if you don't want the hassle.

How to Reboot a laptop?

1.Determine what operating system it uses. Finding out what operating system your laptop uses will let you know what key combo (such as "Ctrl+Alt+Delete") can exit you from usage and trigger a reboot or shutdown. 2.Try and reboot using the operating system. Attempt to use the key combination that will allow you to exit from the operating system and restart the laptop. Be patient, as it may take some time if it has locked up. 3. Hold down the power button. If the operating system's answer to the rebooting will not work, find and hold down the power button of the laptop. This should cause the device to shut itself off. You'll have to press the power button again to power it back on, completing the reboot. 4. Unplug from the wall and remove the battery. If restarting via the operating system and the power button do not work, unplug the laptop from the wall outlet, and remove the battery from the laptop. This will cause it to power off immediately. 5. Allow time to reboot. Give the laptop time to cool down before you power it back on if you had to do this manually. A few seconds should do unless you have additional problems.
