My dell 14r is stuck at the boot dell screen. Cant even get to setup screen. It just gets stuck half way through boot. Also the harddrive indicator light is off. Is the hard disk dead? The laptop is about over a year old. * +

If it is the boot screen you get stuck at, try pressing F8 just after the POST screen but before the OS starts to boot, then start Windows in safe mode. If that works report back with a list of things that you have installed recently and what happened when it stopped working. * +

nop even f8 doesnt work. I showed it to a repair shop today and he said the hard drive is busted. Its making slight screeching sounds when u start it up. Gotta get a new harddrive. Also i wanna know if u could put a dedicated graphics card in this lappy? The guy said u couldnt. But y not? * +

The graphics 'card' is soldered to the motherboard. But really it's just a chip on the motherboard. There is no way to replace it. * +
