What does which LED symbol mean on the laptop?
Would like to know what they mean
just check if I can save my lapi myself
thanks in advance 😇
My laptop has the same thing there,
This means that the laptop is currently active.
If it glows orange, it is in economy mode.
Do you know a lot about laptops?
From top to bottom
Turned on
Loading
CD?
reception
Yes, but only from the operating system, the inner workings not so.
Okay then I have a clear problem
The screen remains black, regardless of whether the battery is in it or the power supply is connected, then the CD symbol flashes but there's none
fan is still very, very quiet
what could that be
Just check if I can save my lapi myself
what problems do you have with your device?
Just described my problem in a comment above
am considering whether I should send the laptop for repair or better buy a new one
It could also be HDD. So hard drive. Wouldn't be unusual then.
It no longer starts properly
when everything was still good you heard the fan and the typical start-up tone
the screen remains black no matter whether I turn it on with the cable and power supply or both separately
in addition, there's no more fan noise and the display seems to spin
CD is displayed even though there's none
Is it because of this, is there important data on it that is worth saving and is it cheap to repair? If neither of these two points concerns you then I would advise you to get a new laptop. You should try to move Windows to USB and boot there BEFORE.
Well, such important data may not be a shame and I have no idea about the costs
Do you have a free 8GB USB stick somewhere?
Yes
So, first of all, I don't think it will work, but it's worth a try.
Do you have another device that has access to the Internet and a USB port?
If so, please load Windows onto the stick via MediaCreationTool.
EDIT:
you will lose all of your data if you do a new installation
Oh you don't know me about anything like that
I'll check
OK
Experiment from personal experience: take the battery out (if possible), plug in the external monitor and then switch on. Could be a problem with the graphics card. If that doesn't work, you could get yourself an https://www.alternate.de/ICY-BOX/IB-AC603-Adapter/html/product/447360?event=search, remove the plate (that's easy, go to Google / Youtube if necessary) and connect it to another PC / laptop like a USB stick and save your data.
However, the device looks a bit older to me. A new purchase would be worth it.
Reposition the box if it still starts…
Here are good tips for a known problem with the Windows 8.1 graphics drivers, you should then use the old Windows 8.0 drivers again.
Maybe it will help you!
