The Dreaded Black Screen -- Dell Inspiron N7010
On start-up, I get the Dell screen, followed by options for the F-2 and F-12 buttons. I then get a black screen with a blinking cursor in the top left corner.
I tried removing the battery and pressing the power button for 40 seconds, no luck. Starting in Safe Mode is not possible either.
I got some CD's from Dell. One is for the Dell OS, and the other is for Drivers and Utilities.
My main concern is saving whatever files, documents and photos I can. Any idead if that's possible?
Thank you
