I do see all lights when switch on the laptop. Even I see window logo on the scree somewhere in deep but not very clear. Does this mean there is no hard drive crash. I went o bestbuy but they are preety expensive. For diagnostic $70 and retrieving data up to 9GB extra $100. It would be cheaper in Nepal if I take it to hard ware technician. I am thinking of going to Nepal end of this year. Is thee any extra damage if I keep this laptop for another 8 months for repair??
