Re: HELP! LAPTOP WON'T SHOW ANYTHING!!!!!

Thank You both for your suggestions!
I figured out that the connection between the hard drive and the motherboard was being prevented by a wire that powers the realtek graphics system. Whenever the covers are placed over the electronics, the wire adds pressure to the SATA convertor connector, causing it to not get a proper connection. I believe a cause to this was the loose wire that somehow loosened up even more in the wrong place. The RAM Stick wasn't damaged, and the Hard Drive wasn't damaged (WHEW!!!).

Again, thanks!!!!


If I can, I may be able to post a video of what I did to help others who may have this problem...

The video this time will be for the E11 Classmate, as I had to figure out how to take it apart, for the video posted did help, but it was for a past version of it.
