Hello here!
I have a problem to my laptop. This morning it gave me a message: "Please insert a valid boot media and reboot.." or something similar. I tried to reboot and I had a black screen.
I tried to use the windows dvd, creating a bootable usb, nothing helped. Just black screen (the monitor doesn't even turn on).
I reset the bios removing the bios battery and this actually did help. I could boot into the machine, windows gave me blue screen so I tried to format and everything was fine.
After a reboot I went back to the black screen.
I tried again with the bios reset but this time took the machine a good 30 seconds of black screen before showing the Sager logo (I have a sager np8235) and actually boot.
The machine works perfectly fine.. when it boots!
Sometimes I have to turn it off and on several times before it will boot (otherwise just blue screen with the monitor off, everything off, just the power button is lit).
Any suggestion? Anyone had the same issue? I have the feeling something on the motherboard (relate to booting) just died.
I would like to avoid to send it to repair since I will have to leave for the entire august but I'm not sure what to do.
(I did't do any overclock)
Thanks!
