Laptop still doesn't work!

The continuing Saga!
Despite being told in emails that the laptop had been checked before being sent back to me, after around 12 hours of charging, when I switch it on, the fans start up and it appears to be working but absolutely nothing appears on the screen! This stage in the term is hard enough to get through with the kids - let alone no computer to use to keep all the paperwork up to date!

Watch this space................

***UPDATE***
Steve from the computer company is coming up to get it working this evening. I hope to be meeting him at about 5.30 this evening and he will fix it! Let's hope he can and that there is nothing too major wrong but credit due for him coming all the way up from essex to get it sorted for me.
