I just tried to turn on my laptop after letting a friend borrow it for a month or so. I believe it was working fine for her because she was using it everyday without a problem. I see the Lenovo logo when I turn it on, so I know the display is fine. But after that, it's a blank screen, with the flickering line on the top left corner of the screen (just like the one you would see in cmd). I would think it's a dead harddrive, but I'm not sure because the computer still detects the hard drive.
Specs:
i7-3630qm
nvidia 750m
seagate 1000gb SSHD
8gb RAM
I've already tried turning it on and off several times.
My boot priorities are correct to my knowledge.
I removed the battery and a/c power and held the power button for 15 seconds; did not fix
one thing to note is that I installed windows 7 on this computer; it originally had windows 8.
The problem could've been caused by me. I used compressed air to blow in the heat sink.
I also used a screen cleaner solution to wipe the laptop down. Some of it *may have gotten in the laptop but I'm not sure.
I'm looking for solutions online in the meantime but tom's has always had a helpful community so I thought I'd ask you guys.
Appreciate the help!
