Hello,
Before I speak of my computer issue, I feel it is of great importance to state a few aspects; I must ask for your forgiveness for whatever border I may be crossing, unnoticed, seeing that this is my first post, so I once again beg your pardon.
I should also say that I'm not much of a computer genius, so there might be certain terms, hardware and such that I am not fully familiar with.
What happened :
I was on my LG R200 Laptop, playing a video game during the night, I exited the game around 4AM EST, and had shut down the laptop, as usual, and I went to sleep. The next day I set the charger, mouse, headphones and the laptop into my backpack, to bring it over to another house which isn't too far from the original (I do suspect that I might have shaken the backpack while I was traveling the short distance, although I am not too sure). Once at the destination, I carefully set down the laptop along with the accessories and such, I went eat, came back after a few minutes and attempted to boot the laptop. And it didn't work...
What happens when I try to boot :
When I boot my laptop, it loads past the LG welcome screen, the DVD Drive ( I have the DVD drive set on first to boot in BIOS), and once at the Windows boot screen, it loads for a few seconds, and it freezes up for around half a second or so and a blue screen pops up for about .2 - .3 seconds and automatically shutdowns the laptop and immediately reboots by itself, and the whole thing repeats.
Also :
I tried removing the battery and putting it back in ( I have even tried to leave it out for a few hours, when I went to school, then have it put back in ), and also tried getting the battery fully charged then boot, none of those attempts succeeded. But when booting after putting the battery back in, a black screen with white text pops up, and lists a bunch of stuff, what caught my attention was the "No TMP or TMP has problem" and the "0215 cmos checksum bad error" ( not entirely sure if that's exactly what it says for the error 0215 ).
I then tried inserting a Windows format disk and I tried both the Repair and Install options, but both options tell me that I do not have a HDD installed, or it is not installed properly. Although I can detect it on my BIOS. I also opened up the HDD pocket, checked on the HDD, unplugged it and plugged it back, still did not work.
I think that is about it for what happened, if I recall anything else I'll be sure to update.
For the technical specs. of my laptop, I don't think I know too much about it, although I've had it for a little over three years now. And since I can't boot it up, I can't really check its technical specs., I could possibly look it up online, but the model I have is sort of rare or, if I must say, unknown, because I looked it up before and I found LG R200 with pre-installed webcams and diffrent specs than my laptop, so it makes it a little difficult for me to gather up information about my laptop; possibly because I'm pretty terrible at finding information.
LG R200 (M/N : R200 - D.CPF1A9)
Windows XP Pro SP2
That's all I got for now, I do think it is a 2 Duo Core though. I don't know what else I need to give, so please suggest anything I would need to add to that little list of specs.
If anyone can find a solution to this issue, let me know please, that laptop is pretty much my main machine.
Thank you in advance,
Day
