[access-uk] Re: dead laptop - your help needed

Hi Carol,
 
I will doublecheck but the volume adjuster is a wheel on the front of the
laptop which I've checked and it's on full volume.
 
I suspect it's going to need someone sighted who knows what they're doing to
take a look at it but that will have to wait....so in the meantime I'm stuck
with this dinosaur of a Dell desktop...still at least I can use it!!
 
All good fun, not!!
 
thanks anyway,
 
Phil

Phil,
 
I'd inadvertently hit the mute button on mine once and thought it wasn't
booting ...
 
If you have enough sight to know that the black screen remains, or if you
don't have a button you may have pressed for mute, then it's not that
problem.  The volume settings could have got altered though.
 
Thought I'd mention these things just in case ...  Hope you're back up and
running soon and that others have some good suggestions for you.
