Hi!

my Toshiba Laptop can't boot in safe mode, can't boot regularly, cant get into windows. after the toshiba logo at the start, it just leads to a black screen with a flashing cursor. someone please help me.

laptop is a toshiba m305-s4910

OS: windows vista home premium

Tried the hardware recovery thing, which is: press and hold 0, then press the power button, then tap 0 when Toshiba logo starts. That does not work.

Tried pressing F8 to enter safe mode, that does not work either.

both of these things that i tried just leads to a black screen with a " _ " line that flashes at the upper left corner of the screen.
and when i press a button it "beeps" annoyingly.

what do i do know?

thanks in advance!
