My laptop doesn't turn on anymore. Something on the screen. But I will sell this or a friend wants to expire it (he repairs it) but unfortunately my data etc. Are still on it. How can I restart the laptop so that everything is deleted? It is practically defective or the screen does not come on…
Would you like to delete the data or back it up beforehand?
Only delete data with it in case the seller repairs this, doesn't have any of my data
If it is possible for you or your friend. Remove the hard disk - plug it into another PC and format it.
If only the screen is defective, you can safely connect it to your television or other monitor via HDMI, for example
If the one has a monitor connection, you can possibly connect it to the television, as a monitor.
Why do you think that a restart would delete any data?
… And you should inform your friend about the defect. At least if a positive relationship with this friend is worth something to you.
