Hey,
I've been given this old samsung netbook n145 plus to fix, and it will not boot.
It locks up on this:
Whether I boot from recovery sector, normal, start up repair. Even when loading from an USB. Also freezes on loading .sys files when attempting safe mode boot.
Since it locks up from the usb load I would assume that the HDD isn't the issue.
I've swapped out the RAM with another stick which is recognized in the BIOS, no success.
This makes me think that it is most likely the CPU that is the issue. But I would like other input before I make that conclusion. ( I have no direct way to test the CPU)
