    Greetings, pongo...

    Make sure the hard drive and battery modules are firmly inserted...

    Will the machine boot into Safe Mode?

    That ain't good...

    What type of computer is it - make and model #, Service Tag #?

    Does anything work? Will the CD/DVD tray operate? Can you access BIOS? Any display at all?

    Did some event occur to cause the symptoms? Was the machine dropped, or did it get wet, etc.?

    This
    says it is trying to boot from a network device.
    Turn on the laptop and press the key that gets you into the BIOS.
    Make sure that the internal hard drive is set as the first boot device and the optical drive as the second boot device.
    Exit saving changes and see if it boot to the hard drive or gives an error like "no bootable devices found".

    first boot device is
    1- HDD/SSD
    2-CD/DVD
    3-USB
    4-FDD
    5-LAN


    does this look correct.

    The network boot attempt is fairly common, and will not prevent the machine from booting from the hard drive if a valid operating system is found...your boot order looks good...

    You stated that you can access BIOS - when you do so, is the hard drive recognized?

    is this HDD/SSD the hard drive because thats all it says.
