USUALLY THIS HAPPENS when the hard drive has died/come adrift (loose in hard drive caddy)

To check- press f12to get the boot menu- if your hard drive is not listed- then check out the connection to it (remove cover below laptop to access it) - before doing so, remove the battery, and power cable.

If it is listed, try changing boot priority to hard drive.

It can sometimes happen if you have a dvd/cd in the cd/dvd rom that is not a bootable one- or, if you have other usb connections when starting up. IF you have remove them
