Questionable Questing

Goddammit. The thing literally was working just earlier today. I put it to sleep for a while to eat, then next time I press the power to wake it up, the screen stays blink and only two of the six lights are on.

GODDAMMIT.

Force shutdown by holding power button, then turn back on?

If that works, get a Google account and transfer/copy notes to Drive

Tried force shut down, etc. Doesn't work. And google account won't be accessing the files there because it's not working and i don't put my files online.

Special note is that the hard drive access light is not turning on/blinking and it doesn't have the usual slightly louder sounds when booting up. Suggestions I've found say I should try taking out the hard drive/battery and putting them back on again.

Gonna look at the model for this laptop and see the instructions on how to do those safely. Basically a more complex "have you tried turning it on and off yet?" Only harder.

Yeah, good luck with that.

Fuck no luck. STill won't turn on after resetting the battery and hard drive.

Battery is clearly still working. It doesn't turn off when I disconnect it from the charger. So what the fuck is wrong?

Uhh, something might've burnt out. Check laptop fans and see if there's dust accumulation.
