Bricked Laptop

[Mordynak]

Afternoon all.

I have a bricked Samsung NP530U4BL or NP530U4B-A03UK.

Basically. It cannot enter the BIOS.
When it turns on, you see the logo, with two options, F2 to enter setup and F4 for recovery. Neither options work. You here a slight tick from the hard drive and then it restarts.

What I want to know is... Is there any way to force it to reset itself?

I don't know what else I can say really... Would just be nice to get it working again XD

Cheers all. Thanks in advance!

tick from HDD, sounds like HDD is causing bios to halt

Remove hdd, turn on and report back

That was the first thing I tried. It used to make that sound when shutting down.

It has the same issue without the HDD connected

try the next thing that a bios checks - remove the ram and see if you get beeps
