If you are experienced, you could try removing the hard drive and see if it will power up to the bios post screen then. The drive shouldn't be making a strange noise.

I can't even get it to start. It went to sleep on its own. A force-shut down only restarts the cooling fan, and the hard drive makes a very strange sound. But no sign of life. ----- Original Message ----- From: Shai <shai...@gmail.com To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Date sent: Sun, 21 Jun 2015 23:00:33 -0700 Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] computer wont wake up, cooling fan on Hi, Also make sure that all USB devices such as hard drives and the like are disconnected before turning on the computer.

When I do a restart, all I get is a squealing noise and the hard drive spinning. When I try to type in my password nothing happens. I close the lid and the fan stays on. Why is it doing that?
