I have been having problems with my computer booting up - screen flickers every 10-15 seconds and the icons on the bottom task bar do not appear and I also cannot open any files (but I can click on them), nor can I access the windows button or key.
I ran the f12 diagnostics on bootup the other day and got Hard Drive 0 Error Code 0142..which means the self test failed if I am correct...
any options to salvage the laptop?
Thanks
