I was using my HP pavillion dv5000 1334ca, and then I shut it down. I restarted the computer minutes later (the laptop did not move, and no changes were brought to the system). HP BIOS Splash screen comes up for a few seconds, then I get thrown to a black screen, with only a blinking line in the upper-left corner. The hard disk was not being accessed. So I tried booting from a Linux Live CD. For this I had to go into the boot load menu. Pressed ESC, briought to the same black screen. CD-ROM and HDD not being accessed. CXleared the CMOS, by removing battery, power adapter, and the button-cell battery under a cover under the pc. waited 5 mins, replaced it, and the power adapter. Same problem. I need help, as this laptop is used for school
