Bear with me here, because my knowledge of computers is limited to: Turn it on, go on Pinterest, send a few e-mails, play Bejewelled and turn it off again.
I turned my laptop on for the first time in a week or so and got a message on the screen saying 'Media test failure, check cable. No bootable device, insert boot disk and press any key'
In simple terms, am I gonna be able to fix this myself or will I have to take it to the pervy, borderline predatory but unfortunately only computer repair guy in town??
Sidebar: I may not be any good with computers, but I'm extraordinarily good at following instructions...any help appreciated!!
It's a fairly old acer aspire, probably '03 so I get that it might just have reached the end of its life, but it's been very gently used and taken care of. My husband bought it for me when we first met and I don't wanna tell him it's broken until I know it really is!!
