Sony vaio VPCEB42fx will not start.

Recently I dropped my laptop and the first time I opened it it said operating system not found. So I closed it and opened it again and after the vaio logo is just a black screen with backlight. I tied vaio care rescue but it will not start it says "vaio care rescue Is starting " and it's been like that for 8 hours. Idk what to do.

You may need to open it up, disconnect the hard drive and then reconnect it.

I was trying to do that but the hard drive is inside this weird cage type thing.

Hmm.. Without seeing it I wouldn't know for sure, but it sounds like that is an attached part rather than a cage. If it looks like the one in this video, then you should be able to remove it. The video is for replacing the drive, but it should give you an idea on how to access it.

I hate when people add 'commercials' to their videos. The actual info starts at about 35 seconds in. https/youtu.be/IaXJ8uTfY2g
