    I have a Satellite L305D-S5868 and have really been a great laptop. A couple of weeks ago, it just wouldn't come on and I thought the display had gone out. After further inspection and listening, I could tell the hard drive was not spinning up when you turn on the laptop. I have removed it and reinstalled, just in case it may have come loose, but no luck. Anyone have anyh suggestions as to where I could start for troubleshooting. Thanks in advance for any and all ideas/suggestions/recommendations.
