the hell is wrong with my computer..?
I have a ridiculously old (4 yrs?) Compaq Presario notebook.
Recently, it's been starting to...not boot. If i press the ON button, all the lights that light up the buttons go on, but the screen stays dark. Nothing happens. No matter how long I leave it on for, the screen remains dark.
At times, however, it WILL boot and will run fine. Happens randomly.
Ubuntu's been telling me for a while now that the hard disk "has many bad sectors" and it should be replaced. Does this have anything to do with it?
I doubt this problem has anything to do with the OS. This same shit happened back when it was running Windows. After a while, it stopped booting altogether and all I saw was the black screen when I tried to turn it on.

Want to answer more questions in the Technology category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Computers?
You should try running scan disk and defrag.
Go to programs, accessories, then system tools.
If you have not done this for a while, then it is time. It will probably take hours to clean up the computer. It could even quaranteen those bad sectors. Run Scan disk first, say yes when it asks if you want to delete all the temporary internet files. Say yes to all that it wants to delete. it won't delete anything important.
Then run defrag. It will probably take all night to defrag.
Hope this helps
