When I boot up my Toshiba Satellite C650 (with the HDD removed) I get the following message:
check cable connection!
PXE-MOF: Exiting Intel PXE ROM
No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key
When I boot up the laptop with the HDD installed I just get a black screen with a blinking cursor in the top left of the screen.
I can't enter enter the BIOS (there is no POST), I try pressing Esc, F2, F12 but when I boot up I just go straight to the error message or the blinking cursor.
Could this be a problem with the CMOS battery or motherboard?
Thanks.
