Thanks, I tried it but it still won't go to the start up page. the screen looks ok, i can't see any cracks and it just looks like old ghost lines. I can see a curser flashing which is what made me think it might be OS related. Is it possible that the entire OS has been wiped? Is there any way to re-load from the beginning?
Just remember, I have some knowledge but i'm really, just a baby girl to these things.
Any help would be really really appreciated.
Cheers, Gaby
