Yeah, it won't hurt to try. Boot without the DVD in the drive now, you can leave the tray open. Failing that, remove the drive entirely from the laptop. Failing that, remove the hard drive and boot from a live USB to demonstrate the computer works. If only after removing the hard drive, it works, then there is your culprit.
Chances are, it's the DVD that was stuck in the drive or a bad DVD drive itself. Could be hard drive, but that's the last option. -

I have seen first hand a failed hard drive cause the computer to not boot well or at all from anything (USB, CD/DVD, Network, etc). Only after removing the drive would the computer perform normally.
I would start with removing the screw holding in the DVD/CD drive and then pulling it out - see if it boots. If not, try removing the hard drive and booting off a live USB. -
2018-08-05 at 5:03 PM UTC in All modern laptops suck ass
Originally posted by apt In $current_year + 3 every single laptop on the market has at least one of the following 'features':
- Shit keyboard with low key travel and/or functionally crippled layout
- Comically large trackpad that takes up all the palm rest space freed up by shrinking and crippling the keyboard, and which has to rely on the driver's palm detection to stop the cursor from jumping around while typing
- Soldered RAM, soldered SSD, sealed battery making repairs ridiculously difficult or impossible for end users
- Stupid case design targeting normie aesthetic preferences, meaning no maintenance bays for quickly accessing and swapping components, no indicator LEDs, no hardware radio switches, etc
- 'Thin and light' design philosophy to appease noodle-armed MORALLY SUPERIOR BEINGs and women who might break a wrist if they had to carry around more than 2kg at a time, which results in undersized cooling systems, overheating throttling processors and surface temps of 50C+ under load
The best I can find to replace my 7 year old W520 is a chinkpad P51, which comes with a worse display out of the box unless I opt for the battery sucking 4K option, and the keyboard/trackpad layout is so bad that I'm convinced Lenovo hired a blind retard to design it. So I guess I'll build a nice Ryzen desktop instead and stop using laptops altogether. Fuck everything.
Not necessarily. I think you meant to say, home-end user laptops are shit. This is very true. If you are looking for the features that are typically lacking in what you can find at your local Walmart/Best Buy, then you need to be prepared to spend more.
Sager/Clevo makes excellent, high-end laptops that feature the things you'd want. Check em' out.

2018-08-05 at 4:51 PM UTC in Problem with lap if sophie, lanny or panny are free to helpThe "sr0" error is in reference to your CD/DVD-ROM. It's talking about an I/O or "input/output" error. Try removing it from the laptop and booting. There should be a single screw holding it in place on the bottom and you can use your fingernail to pull the entire drive out after removing the screw.
EDIT: It may also be a failing hard drive that is being incorrectly reported as a failing CD/DVD drive. So may wish to check that as well. You can use Ultimate Boot CD to run the diagnostics for your hard drive manufacturer. http://www.ultimatebootcd.com -

That stuff will turn you into Gary Busey
Methanol is a byproduct of distillation no matter how "properly" you do it. This is why the "heads" and "tails" are decanted and distilled again. The "hearts" is kept. -

However only a few are actually drunks reeking of piss they do seem heavily drawn to their own drama threads where they revel in rehashing the same tired bs day in day out…the drama is not new but the DH tradition of jumping on a bandwagon for the sake of e-acceptance in this strange cyber community is definitely a behavior associated with the same losers in their home village of DH forums of old.
Here is your “for space niggas only” cookie
And I am forced to admit I’m ashamed to be associated with the majority of these piss stained ass kissing drama queens…..
Although I do enjoy throwing rocks at their heads……
Carry on
Hmmm. Your disdain for your fellow piss-stained hobo is inspiring. We might accept you. But just you. -

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my words. You think you can get away with saying shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your tongue. You didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo. -
2018-08-05 at 2:53 PM UTC in DH'ers Are A Sub-Community.When a thread is created by a DH'er, only fellow DH'er's typically post in it. It's a community within a community. It's like a gang of hobos that hang out by the bus stop. They're always there. They're always drunk and reeking of piss and spouting nonsense. We just try to ignore them and pretend that they're not there and every so often one of them comes along and hassles us for some spare change and we're all, "Shoo! Go away, you faggot!"
It's interesting to see how we've compartmentalized them as much as they try to assimilate into our community. We don't typically join in on their threads. We allow them to have their own humorous little discussions with their own curious little people. We often make threads, much like this one, to discuss our disdain of them. They will come along and post typical, boring replies along the lines of "u mad?" and "suk my dik", etc.
I guess we could also draw parallels with Nazi Germany and the jediS pre-1939. Right now, we're posting "No jedis Allowed" signs and a public expression of hatred for the jedi. Soon, we will be shipping them up by the FREIGHTCAR-FULL to a gas chamber and ultimately, a crematorium.
We could also liken it to America pre-civil rights movement. "You get in your own water line, NIGGER!"
Discuss. Etc. -

I see Meta's posting yet I know he was also from dialup-days. there is photos of him with Jeff at what I believe to be TalentCon? Talent Connecticut? Is Meta from east coast or west coast?
We were "close". We communicated outside of the forums. -
