This will bring your system back to a time before you installed the softwear or Microsoft installed drivers,etc.
Note: Just be sure to use a date in a darkened box, that is before your trouble start date.
When you have done the above, restart the computer and if your still having the problem, then the installed drivers,updates,softwear,etc might have
corrupted the Operating System.
If that happened then that means either repair or reinstall the operating system.
You will need to do the following:
1...Repairing the Operating System...
A...You will have to have the Operating Dics that came with the computer.If you did not make any or none has been made since you have had your computer, then you may be able to make the CD/DVD's for your computer.
Check in the Programs and see if there is a program that will allow you to make a back-up CD/DVD's for your system.

The original disks will have your product key number that came with the computer, you can also find it on the tower, or under the bottom of your laptop, or maybe the piece of paper that the CD orginally came in may have the number on it.

If this fails to clear your problem then you may have a hardware problem.
It could be faulty ram
If you still have the same problem, then you have two choices.
1.Reinstall the entire Operating System and you may have to update some drivers.
This will require you to go back to the start of the repair info and select Install instead of Repair.
2..Take your machine in to have the hardware tested.
Keep in mind that if you do a complete reinstall of the Operating System you will lose all the information on the computer,such as pictures, programs, videos, everything you installed will be gone.

You can buy an external hard drive unit that you can then attach the hard drive to for www.tigerdirect.com
I got one for about 28.00 with shipping. I can attach a hard drive externally with their universal unit and then see if it is good. If the pc isn't recognizing the Hdd - it is most likely the Hdd but of course you can remove the Hdd - take it to a local shop and ask them to test it for say 5.00 or so. Or run an ad on www.craiglist.net and ask for someone to run the test for you on their pc. Or you can just do what you really want to do and that is get a new laptop from www.tigerdirect.com
Best of it and thanks for choosing Fix Ya.

If you can plug an external monitor to the laptop, you should see what is supposed to be on the screen. You may have to press a few keys to get the video to go to the monitor.

If it does, then your monitor may be bad. Two things, either the LCD panel has died, or it could be the video inverter that needs to be replaced.


Keep us posted on your progress.

Laptop's battery is IC controlled. Circuit will stop the current when battery charged enough. So Battery will remain unused. However its also could be good idea to release the battery and keep dry place if you are using the laptop permanently stable AC power. If you need further assistance post your question.
Good Luck

Run a virus check, get a free one from download.com, also check that the lid isn't faulty, if you move it slightly while working it could indicate whether there is faulty wiring or screen. Also check that your graphics drivers are up to date, eve if the laptop is a month old, the drivers may have since been updated and depending on what programmes you are running an update may be reqired. Good luck!

The product key is associated with the MS Office 2013 software, not the specific MS Windows version of Operating System - unless the MS Office lists a minimum version of OS ie: "Windows 8.0" In this case, it would not install on Windows 7. Otherwise, you should be able to install it on Windows 7, Windows 8, or later.

How to Get Employment Security With Correct Japan Work Visa Japan is no different from other developing nations whereby grass seems greener on its side of the pasture. It attracts its fair share of foreign businesses as well as nationals seeking to work within its lands. Albeit many adhere to immigration procedures, some choose to test their limits on the basis of ignorance or defiance. By understanding the different types of work visa in Japan, it assures its foreign workers a continual stream of income with no threat of arrest and deportation. Visa simply infers the status of residence. Citizens obviously have no need of it as they automatically satisfy qualifications to freely reside in their country of birth. As for those of alien status who wish to join the local workforce, there should be a category to match one's requirement. Since most countries strive to improve the overall quality of life, professionals are generally welcomed to contribute knowledge and skill. Unskilled labor is normally not granted a visa to avoid flooding and dilution of the workforce. The visa is awarded in accordance to one's area of expertise. Supported with proof of relevant experience, it is based on the field of involvement whilst working in the country. In the event one's work scope changes from one expertise to another, it is essential to apply for a visa under the new circumstances. Different types of work visa in Japan also apply to foreign companies seeking to conduct local business. Domestic companies based abroad wishing to set up a local point of presence need to provide supporting documents to justify internal transfer of foreign workers. Governmental staff for diplomatic duties is assigned a category for legal residence. Over and above the general groupings, designated activities also garner approval from the authorities. Domestic service for non-native residents and citizens of certain nations on working holidays fall into this category of working visa. This, by no means, is the end of the list as it is best to consult the authorities on which visa serves best.Click Here For More Details: http://japanjobandvisaservice.com/blog/change-your-luck-when-apply-work-visa
