:(
I have an HP Pavilion dv5000. It was purchased 5 years ago.
I left this laptop on last night (without the power adaptor in) and woke up to it turned off. I thought it was because it did not have anymore power, so i plugged in the power adaptor, but it still fails to start up.
The laptop turns on but it brings me to a black screen that has options of "safe mode, safe mode with networking, safe mode with command prompt, last known good configuration" and "start windows normally".
After choosing an option (no matter which option i pick), it brings me to the startup screen (one with the window's logo) but immediately brings me back to the black screen with the aforementioned options. I would be so grateful for any help/advice as to how to solve this problem! Thank you in advance!
