Help with computer not booting up

 Subscribe in a reader

 

I had to leave so I locked the screen and closed the laptop. I came back to it a couple of days later only to find that it was off. I tried to turn it back on but I get just past the POST test and the phenox tech screen with options comes up. Then nothing! It will not go further, I pushed both options that were displayed. and still nothing! Can anyone help me out, or is it just fried and need to toss the computer.

 

Thanks,

 

 

If it boots up, check and see if the partitions for your Ubuntu install are still functioning and readable.

 

I do not know what you mean by 'phenox tech screen with options', but have you tried running any/all of the 'options' offered?

 

I find that sometimes if i leave a thumb drive,or disk in mine, it has a habit of not booting properly.
