Rookie team 2 go pc question

We are a rookie team. From day 1 our pc never worked so we used our mentors school laptop. Now that build season is over we might as well see if we can get it to do something. It will not even boot up. Any ideas?

Re: Rookie team 2 go pc question

Did you read the getting started guide and flash the computer with the included flash drive? Or do you mean it won't even boot into the BIOS.

...and, if you can afford it, get a better computer with a larger screen and keyboard and trackpad.

Re: Rookie team 2 go pc question

You know, you don't have to use the pc that FIRST gave you. My team (also rookies) is using a touchscreen laptop that my dad had.

Re: Rookie team 2 go pc question

Thank you. The flash drive provided was corrupt and we just decided to use another laptop that was available. I just do not want this 2go pc to sit unused.
