HP DX8308TX laptop problem
Guys; This laptop belongs to my daughter and initially had a failed hdd, also the screen now appears to switch off about a minute or so into any type of boot process.
This laptop was originally installed with XP Media, so using a remote monitor, I have replaced the hdd with a new hdd and ensuring that the BIOS sees it,I tried installing XP but after loading the install files, says no hdd installed; Windows 7 on the other hand just won't start loading at all.
I suspect a hardware fault on this unit though I am not able to pinpoint the problem.
Unfortunately, she let her boyfriend take a look who wiped the hdd and tried loading a new install OS which put paid to recovering the failed hdd.
I am hoping someong might have some ideas.
Best regards.....
