Ok i need help with this asap as it is my parents laptop that i have knackered. Basically the other day i plugged and external hard drive into its usb port. The hard drive is a basic hard drive just in an enclosure, however on the second part of the power cable (as its in two pieces, like a box which plugs into hard drive and then a kettle lead same type which use on monitors, desktops etc. This plugs into the box and plug on wall) i plugged in the wrong lead so the voltage wasnt correct. When i plugged it into the usb the screen started to flicker and get a bit staticy then the blu screen came up the dumping memory one which usually occurs when theres a hardware failure etc.

Anyways i turned the pc off then back on. It all booted up fine and everything so i again plugged the hard drive into the usb but this time with the original lead with the correct voltage. However this time it made my pc completely freeze and couldnt do anything! (move cursor, get task manager up not even turn it off on the power button!)

So i turned it off forcefully by taking out the battery and ac lead. After this i tried turning it back on but it wouldnt come on at all!!! However when i had the ac lead in and the battery the battery light comes on as if it is charging and at first so did the crescent moon as if it is in hibernation.

However the lights keep changing! so now the moon light doesnt come on and the battery light only comes on for about 30 seconds then turns off. But if i unplug the ac lead the battery light goes off but if i press th power button the moon comes on for a couple of secs then goes off?!

The laptop is a Hi Grade C5514 and i have tried taking out the battery and lead for about 8 hours and putting them back in but still no luck. I also got half way disassembling it incase it was the cmos battery and wanted to see if i could reset it or something by taking it out or replcaing it but couldnt find it anywhere!!! I need help with this asap as my parents havent yet realised its my fault and i can only feed them made up techinical nonsense for so long! (there like cavemen with technology lol) Any help with this asap will be soooooo appreciated!!! Cheers!
