When I start my laptop, it stays with Logo the whole time and doesn't start up any further. I've searched all over the Internet, but haven't found anything. Hope who can help me here?

thanks in advance

Hard drive or ssd may be broken.

Press F2 and look at the BIOS. Are the drives still specified, i.e. Fastplatte?

Ca

This is what the BIOS looks like. Do not see a mistake now or do not know how to do it? Maybe you know what?

1. Floppy Disk Drive:

2. Drive0 HDD: ST9500420AS

3. Drive2 HDD:

4. Drive4 HDD:

5. Drive 5 HDD:

6. CD / DVD drive: MATSHITADVD-RAM UJ8B0

7. NETWORK: IBA GE SLOT 00C8 v1363

8. USB HDD:

9. USB CD / DVD

Okay, the hard drive is specified. See if you can find a time in the BIOS. If that's correct, then the battery is okay.

Then restart the laptop and try to select the hard drive via F12 (boot menu) in order to boot from it.

Ca

Yes, the time is correct, but when I select the hard drive in the boot menu, the image is black and it still does not boot

Then, using this procedure, you found that your laptop is perfectly fine, but your hard drive appears to be broken. Is it still a hard drive or is it already an SSD?

If it's a hard drive, listen carefully. Does the sound like you are used to from a hard drive?

Ca

Yes, guess a hard drive so at least you can hear something working, nothing happens 😅

Ca

Yes, but that could also be the fan. If you know the sound of a hard drive, you can hear it exactly. If you don't know, it doesn't matter. Would have only been one way.

If you want to go further, then the next thing I would advise you to create a bootable USB stick. You can then try to access the hard drive. If that doesn't work either, then you have 100% certainty that the hard drive is broken. Then only a new one will help.

Ca

Yes is a hard drive 😂

oke then try it
