Hello techies, i wonder if anyone can give some advice.
last year my husband spilt a glass of red wine on his lappy. we did our best and dried it out but the screen remained black. i took out the hard drive and copied all the important pics and documents onto a external hard drive. so far so good. yesterday i took out the damaged lappy, and thought that before i would chuck it, i would try again.
It boots up ok, and the screen is once again operational, BUT it cannot see the hard drive. i have obviously put the original hard drive back in place, but the system tells me there is no drive there.
my question is, should i buy a new hard drive to see if that will be accepted, or is it all a lost cause and should I bin the whole thing?
Any advice will be great. thanks bernadettte:
