My laptop don't start. Can my hard drive be damaged?
I bought a 16GB USB flash drive on eBay from Hong Kong. I used a test software to check if it was really a 16GB size. The software started to show errors on writing. I let it run through the night. When I wake up in the morning, I saw that my laptop was turned off! I pressed the power button and it didn't turn on! I put a good battery in it and it doesn't turn on. The green light on the power adapter is not turned on. I think that the power system inside the laptop is damaged. I am in France and will be back in USA in october 22 to use the warranty of my laptop. But I didn't do a backup since 1 year so I'm afraid that the hard drive could be damaged also. The laptop is plugged into a UPS system so no risk with lightning at night.

Answer 1 :
My guess would be that it is not your harddrive as none of the other parts of it work "your green power light". I would check the power supply and the leads coming from the power supply also try leaving it plugged in and see if you can power it up that way.
