I have had a laptop computer for five years during which I never had any major problems. That is until the other day when I was defragmenting the hard drive. Let's just say the computer "froze up" and I turned if off manually. Bad idea as it would not come back on. A message screen advised me to open it in "safe mode" or "normal." Well, I tried both with no luck.
Took it to a computer repair shop on Saturday. First indication is that it is the hard drive. They will know more on Tuesday. They may or may not be able to extract and save some of the files.
I use the laptop for all of my college teaching work. While I have many of the files backed up, I don't have all of them. :( The semester just stared so I'll have much to do should I have to recreate the lost files. From now on, I think I had better back up my files each day just to be on the safe side.
A good learning experience for me.
Have a great and good day.
