Title: Slab won't even show "Testing" box!
Post by: daverising on July 10, 2013, 06:16:01 PM
I know I've been posting problems quite a lot but as a newbie that's understandable right? Anyways, I have booted it up many times before even just today! Then about 5 hours later it would boot but there wasn't even a "Testing System" box on the screen just the standard blank grey background. I hear the hard drive make the first few clicks then... nothing. no sound except for the CPU Fan (I'm just guessing that's what that sound is). There is also no sound coming from the speakers when it boots up. Did I do something wrong with the BIOS or anything? I did leave it on for awhile to render a 3D Animation with ThreeD. I have never opened it up inside either. Does anyone know whats wrong or can help?

Sounds like the battery might be gone. I'll send one along to you...
