Samsung NC10 attacked by virus and seems to be dead :-(

[autodidact]

Does anyone know how to bring it back to life? It's not booting up at all. It doesn't have a cd drive and I've no idea how to go about trying to save it.

Ah, nightmare! Can you google for info - that usually brings up suggestions. Otherwise, your local friendly PC store may be able to take a look.

Bonsoir, Madame said.:) Yes, I think I'm going to have to find my local friendly store- I have tried googling but am seriously confused by the results. I am a saddo as am feeling seriously bereft without my little blue internet friend! Our desktop is in a corner facing the wall and I'm used to watching TV from the sofa multitasking while internetting these days.

Oh, I get your angst. I am vaguely watching engrossed in Downton Whatever whilst researching Very Important Things

Thanks for your sympathy. Much appreciated!

Disconnect the battery, and if you do get on, hit the F8 key repeatedly which may start it in safe mode.

Thank you so much, windowsandwalls. Trying it now.:)

Thanks so much, wanw- complete restore in process! Will let you know if it works but so far v promising.:):):):):):)

oooh all credit to Mr W&W as he is the brains of the house when it comes to computers. Glad it seems to be working

meant to say, if you do get on, run a virus can {stating the obvious emoticon]

Thanks once again, Mr and Mrs Windowandwalls. I'm posting from it now while running anti-virus and malware scans.:) You've saved me a fortune in local friendly PC store fees! Muchos gratitudos indeedos.

You are most welcome
