A person told me to go into my bio and change t he floppy from master to
the cd rom and save, I did now all I get is a black screen, nothing else.
Installed the brand new harddrive and it is still a blank black screen. MY
mouse and keyboard lights are not comeing on, and the red light stays on
cont. on the CD-Rom one, and goes off (red light) on the burner, but it will
continue to run with green light on the burner. Yet I cannot do anything
with this computer at all!! Please help me, willing to try anything if you
think it will help me!!!! Thanks
