Hey guys i need some assistance, i have a dell xps m1530 which i purchased in 2009 has 3gb of memory and running windows 7. Up until recently everything was working smoothly and one night i went to turn it on, the blue lights flashed and heard the laptop come on but have total black screen. Not boot screen, i have tried pressing fn and the power button at the same time and i get no type of message. Any ideas on whats the cause and if is it even worth fixing it?

Sounds like it may be your harddrive. Do you know the make of your harddrive?
