Has anyone used the Geek Squad, from Best Buy, or the computer repair at Staples to fix a sick lap top computer?.......John

Cleared history, & cleared cookies, deleated all unnecessary files. Difficult to do anything else with it, as I can't get on line with it.

try taking the battery out of it - let it sit for about a 1/2 hour(make sure it's not plugged into the wall outlet - put battery back in & restart it - if it comes up minus the white screen - try a system restore to a date when it last operated properly

I had the same problem a couple of years ago - computer tech told me to do that & it worked - if it doesn't try taking it put back & shooting it :)
