Slammed ZToshiba A135-2276 will not boot

Yes, this sounds like the traditional black screen issue, but it's different! This machine is a Dell Dimension 3000 with XP. System won't boot. After Blue Dell BIOS splash screen with F2 & F12 options, it just goes black. There will ultimately be a white cursor in the upper left hand corner. I can edit BIOS with F2, I can get in to the boot menu with F12, but I can't do anything after that. I can even get in to the Safe Mode menu (F8), but it never boots.

At boot time repeatedly pressing either, F2 , F12, or possibly Fn+F1 this is depending upon the bios wether it has been updated or upgraded. One of these should do the trick.....

you most likely damaged the LCD or dislodged the cables from system board to the LCD. Also check for a small button or "nub" near the base of the screen, is it stuck or broken? this turns off the screen when lid is closed, slamming may have got it stuck.

if you have an external monitor. shut off the laptop, connect the video cable from external monitor and turn on laptop...do you get video?

if yes, your LCD is damaged and needs service. if no, you have done far more damage and need to have the whole thing diagnosed at a service center.

please this could be due to boot files. repair your os to replace the corrupted files using the installation CD

IF IT COMES TO A SCREEN THAT SAYS "TOSHIBA" AND AT THR BOTOM LEFT SAYS ''F2-UTIITY , F12- BOOT MENU'' CLICK F2 IMIDITLY AND USING THE RIGHT CONTROL BUTTON SCROLL TO ''SECURTY'' AND CHANCE THE PASS WORS

repeatedly tap the F8 key when booting up. This will bring you to a black screen. Chose the option to use the last known good configuration.

please do not forget to rate me.

Thanks

u must have to detect your hard disk.
check u detect your hdisk in bios settings.
then also try to boot option and select hdd .

if you leave it long enough does it boot ?
press F2 and go through the settings and check for something like "display boot menu" or similiar.

remember to save your settings upon exiting

it sounds like when you slammed on the hard drive you cause the mechanical arm inside the drive to malfunction. you will need to replace the hard drive and then reload winbdows and the drivers for your laptop

A bit more info would be good. Did it shut down normal. can you enter bois. any messages???
