Hi,
My laptop - an Acer Aspire 7535 - failed to boot up though the lights came on and the fans operated. The screen did not active ie remained black. I have removed the hard drive and connected it to another laptop and though the faulty hard drive powers up the good laptop does not recognise it. The faulty hard drive makes a simultaneous buzz and click, repeating every 1 second approximately. I would like to know if a new hard drive would solve the boot up problem and if it would be possible to retrieve data from the faulty hdd (I am keen to recover things like my photo editing suite).
I look forward to hearing from and thank you very much in anticipation.
Have a great New Year
Liam
