    Laptop Problems!

    Have a little issue here I hope someone can help me with. I have a Dell laptop that I use to record all my Trials videos. It is pretty old and the battery is shot so it's always plugged in. Sometimes when I turn it on the screen just stays black. I usually just hold the power button in to force it off then turn it back on and it works fine. For the last couple of days I can't get it to come on at all. It sounds like its turning on and booting up but the screen just stays black. I have tried plugging it into my TV through the HDMI to see if it was a screen issue. The TV basically shows that it has something plugged in but it still shows a blank screen.

    Any help would be appreciated. I am hoping to just recover all my files and get a new laptop if necessary.

    When you say "always plugged in" do you mean always plugged in with battery attached to your laptop or not? Try taking out the battery, plugging it in, and then turning it on. Laptops don't need batteries to run.

    Other than that starting in safe mode, system restore etc, get it fixed or get a new one.

    Oh, also:
