When I power up my Thinkpad E535, I get a black screen that says "Windows is loading files..." and it won't boot up. I've tried using my recovery disk, and when after a few seconds it says "recovery failed".
It did this two years ago when it was under warranty, and Lenovo replaced the motherboard. I'm assuming that this is the same problem as before and I'm wondering if it makes any sense at all to have this machine repaired now that it's out of warranty. (It could also use a new battery). Any thoughts on anything I should check, such as unseated memory or cables? Or should I just toss it and buy something else?
