It won't boot because its crashing trying to load windows on a physically bad hard drive. Disconnect the SATA cable on the hard drive and turn on. There should be an error on the screen
This one is a real headscratcher. I bought this for my parents so they could browse the internet etc and apparently it had 1) a blue screen of death and 2) now it won't boot. Just turn it on and all you get is the Dell logo. I have tried removing CMOS battery to try and reset the BIOS, unplugging hard drive (which gets me the boot menu saying there's no hard drive connected) but for the life of me I cannot get into the BIOS. Any thoughts? Literally any suggestion would be welcome.
