Hi,
I cannot boot my laptop at all and when I switch on the fan\heat sink makes a lot of noise.

I cleaned the fan (it was dusty) / took out my dvd rewriter (which did not worked for a long time, and replaced it with a cd player from my old laptop / Flashed the BIOS (flashed it back to the old BIOS settings as the noise of the fan was still there / formatted my hard disc.
Now I cannot boot my laptop at all. I cannot get in my BIOS. I disconnect my hard drive as the led of the HD is off, I replaced it with another. The led is going on but I still cannot boot my system at all.

So I took out my DVD rewriter out of the laptop and plugged in an external monitor to see if it is the LCD, but that does not work either.

It seems that there is no power or a defect processor.

Please advise.

gr, Ferri
