Laptop gets no further than start screen when hdd installed. no beep. Take it out, and I can reach the bios ok. hard drive itself seems fine when I put it in my desktop; all files present and correct. Don't have another 2.5in to test the laptop with.
Question. Is this likely a laptop mainboard fault, or likely a weird quirk with this hdd - the original?
Laptop is MSI gt640, so really don't want it to be a fault with the mainboard! Bit reluctant to lash out on new hdd if the whole thing is u/s.
