Hi-

My laptop recently developed a problem. It shut down a few days ago and since then, I havn't been able to start it.

When I press the power button, the LEDs light up and COMPAQ flashes on the screen but after that, the screen goes black and sits there. Nothing happens. If it is black for more than 15 seconds, any time I hit a key...a small chirp will sound off. The only progress I have been able to make with it is when COMPAQ flashes on the screen, I discovered that if I press F8, it takes me to the BOOT SCREEN where I have many options of how to boot Windows. (Safe Mode, Last Known Working Configuration, Debugging Mode, etc.) I have tried all of the available options and none of them work.

Please, if anyone can help...I would appreciate it.
Thanks.
