Hello,

What is the exact error message that you see on your screen? These "green letters" must be meaning something.
If your laptop is out of warranty you can clear CMOS battery to see if that will work. Please, follow these steps:
1. Pull out the battery of your laptop and the charger too.
2. Wait for some minutes to discharge and open the back lid
3. Take out the mother board and locate the CMOS battery. It should be next to the main CPU.
4. Pull out the battery for up to 10 mins and then put it back.
5. Put your mother board back to place and close the lid.
6. Put first the battery, then the charger on and start your portable PC.

Let me know if that helped.
