FAO JAY - PC Woes ;-(

[gm8]

Ah I did not realise it was a laptop , im not sure if you can do this on a laptop.

If you can get to the motherboard easily you should see a small battery (circular one) , remove it for a few mins , replace then try again , this will have the same effect .

Here is the HD

At first look, it seems like that ruler has seen better days. On further inspection, and judging by the colour of it.... i would say that measuring a HD probably is one of its better days

@Ant, please fook off. not looking for the sacastic waste of time replies on this thread. if i was good with PC and a ruler and had any common sense i would not be asking stuff on here

Well, don't put a ruler up to it showing 2.5", then ask us what size it is then

but its not showing that... if he actually started measuring from 0" then we would have a better idea of what size it is

Don't be such a pedant, Guy.  If the OP could use Google he'd realise there are two generic HD sizes, 2.5" and 3.5" (even in dipstick Macland).  This is clearly not a 3.5" unit so it must be the first.

Sadly the OP is unable to use Google or common sense.

Put it in a £20 caddy from Maplins, plug it in another PC, read the files just like on a USB stick.

Or plug it in and weep, if it's toast.
