While working computer shutdown suddenly. When I turn on the computer fan spins for 5 seconds and stops. And starts spinning after some minutes. But does not boot my computer and I have only black screen.
Repairing eMachines D620, power light, on button light, fan kicks in, hard drive spins up, but nothing on screen - stays black. No hard drive activity sounds. Memory checks out OK.
Problem turned out to be the hard drive. Removal of hard drive results in screen displaying emachines splash screen and POST messages and can go into BIOS setup. Putting drive back in results in no boot, nothing on screen - stays black, doesn't even show the splash screen.
Did the old "eraser trick" on the hard drive's contacts and reseated the drive. Magic - the system boots into Windows...
When this happened was the laptop overly hot? If the laptop's head got too high it could have shutdown to protect itself. It wouldn't boot until the heat had disparate. Sit you laptop aside for about 30 minutes and see if it will boot then. If it does you might want to check out a cool mat.
