    Hi im a compaq presario 1900 user and suddenly started to have a booting problem since i mistakenly closed the laptop lid in full while booting and opened it up right after.

    Then, my laptop only boots perfectly when the lid is almost closed under rougly 30 degrees - whenever i swich it on with the screen lid open, it shuts down after 2 secs and automatically reboots, but then shuts down again, and on and on. But after once it goes into window, it never shows this problem and works perfectly with open lid.

    And it works perfectly as on and off at standby mode.

    is it because my HDD got damaged from a sudden screen lid close??

    so should i change my HDD?
