My sister's laptop just suddenly died. It's an Acer Aspire Timeline X and has been going well for over 4 years now.
Just today, she was using her computer, locked it, and then went down for dinner, when she came back up, the computer screen was blank, and unresponsive. Upon doing a hard-reset, she came across this error message
I Googled the error message, and did everything they said, and the error still came up.
This is what I did so far:
1. Took the Hard Drive out, and put it back in - did nothing
2. Tried booting into the eRecovery (manufacturer software) via ALT + F10, nothing happened.
3. Changed the boot order, did nothing.
4. Tried booting into Windows repair, via disk - did not detect the hard drive, only Disk 0 (0MB) was there.
So right now, I'm thinking it's either a corrupt hard drive, or there's a connection issue.
Any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
How much do you think this will cost to fix, if we took it to a store? (Warranty expired 3 years ago)
