Hello all, help or advice please.
My daughter dropped her laptop down the stairs, although some of the plastic trim had cracked or fell off, it still worked apart from the DVD drive being stuck.
This was 3 months ago.
Last night it would not boot up, no screen or nothing. What did happen was it started beeping as if low on battery, and when you try to switch on it the whirring sound starts for a few seconds then nothing.
My initial thought as a non PC person is the power pack has failed or the screen does not work.
I know I will have to get expert help in to see if it is worth repairing, but I was hoping someone could have some idea as to what the problem is.
For reference it is a Dell Inspiron.
