Yo Sheik-Oh, seems like my ancient first HP laptop has given up on me. I get the "Non-system disk or disk error". Can't run the HDD self test in BIOS either, it's greyed out. I'ma try and boot with some live CD but I ain't holding much hope. After 6/7 long years one HP Compaq is no more. Just thought you should know.
Telus just got it like last week, so I picked it up from there. I think my warranty was up from before anyway, the back plate is loose on my magic and I never bothered to get it fixed.
I need to enter a code for it to unlock. It starts up with the lock screen and when I slide it down, it tells me to enter the code, and that's all I can do right now.
Oh ok. Which site did you ask the unlock code from? mobileincanada.com?
EDIT: Also, did you try following the next step anyway? Cos I think most phones have the USB Debugging option enabled by default. Did you try making a Goldcard?
