Model number is 1005HAB and it&#8217;s running Windows 7 Starter.<br \/>\nIt is still password protected so I attempted to go into the bios to disable the Boot Booster and take it from there. The problem is there is no boot booster to shut down, and when I attempt any variation of F9, it doesn&#8217;t go into the recovery options. Now I&#8217;m actually getting a message the says something about Shift + F8&#8230;&#8230;.. then goes to a black screen with a blinking cursor. So, by attempting F9, I seem to have made things stop functioning.<\/p>\n<p>Any help from this point on would be greatly appreciated. I&#8217;d love to get this machine working because it&#8217;s like brand new. Since I spent so little on it (Literally $5) I won&#8217;t mind taking it in, but I&#8217;d like to try to work on it myself first.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks in advance to those that might be able to help me!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":7},"question-category":[42],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-13068","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-windows-7"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/13068","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13068"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13068"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=13068"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=13068"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
