So, a few months back, my sister accidentally dropped the laptop and for some reason, it wasn’t booting up anymore. When i tried to watch YouTube videos and try to do stuff in bios, like changing boot mode and stuff, it said “no recoverable boot device found” so I figured that I’ll have to install windows 10 again. I did that, created a usb installation media, and inserted it in my laptop. It’s been 3 hourse, and it’s just showing blank screen. When I put the usb stick in, it showed a windows logo and then it turned blank. I’ve been waiting for 3 hours and I’m getting kinda worried now. Any advice? My laptop has 1tb HDD, 4 GB RAM and Intel Pentium.
You could try running a live system from a USB stick. Just make a bootable USB drive with Linux Mint or something similar and try to boot off that. If that works, at least you know your machine is working.
I’ll try that
And then - there I said it - you can just install Mint on your PC and don’t bother with Windows at all. I’ll show myself out.
