still check the sata and power connections. Power down the laptop unplug the battery press the power button to deplete any current. Take out the drive reinsert it.
ok i did check the cables, ever things fine once its on a flat surface it starts up normal boots everything, the problem starts when i shoutdown to clean out the inside of my computer its troblle to boot after cleaning i have to make sure the pc is completely flat on a surface its kind of annoying i hav to stick paper below to get it steady. my computer is a desktop PC
sounds like either the data plug or the power plug on the drive is problematic; I would say image the drive with a program like shadow protect if you need to save your data; then install a new hard drive
