can anyone shed some light on this problem laptop will not pass boot screen you get to the options press f2 for setup f12 for boot menu but then nothing have tried pressing f12 it then says entering boot menu at bottom but just sits there it was fine when i shut it down ! have tried hdd in other machine and works fine stumped ! cheers
 
sounds like you bios setting are screwed, possible issue with the cmos battery, might need to change that then go back in to f2 and defult the settings.... hope it helps
 
Try disconnecting it from the mains and removing the main laptop battery and leaving it out for a few of minutes. My Dell work lappy does it all the bloody time.
 
also noticed the fan stops working at the same time the machine hangs at boot screen then after about five ten mins shuts down
