a little late for this one I'm sure, but for future reference notice how many times the caps and numlock blink:

System Board	        X0
CPU                   	X1
Memory	                X2
Hard Disk          	X3
Optical CD/DVD Disk	X4
BIOS                  	X5
Battery             	X6
Wireless	                X7

You can remove the hard drive from the laptop, purchase a USB external hard drive enclosure and use it to convert your hard drive to use with another computer. You must be careful to purchase the correct kind of adapter. There are two types SATA and PATA (also called IDE).  Yours uses a SATA drive.

Good Luck

Check out you tube, how to reflow mother board. Sounds crazy, but bake the mother board in an oven at 385 for 8 min and leave in oven to cool for 30 min. I tried everything from replacing cpu, penny trick etc...

Finally solved by reflow method!!
