When my laptop got the Antivirus soft i restarted my computer and intended to restart in safe mode but i hit F11 instead which i think is recovery mode or something. When i tried to restart my computer again the power light came on but the screen didn't, and it powered itself off after like 12 seconds and then turned itself on again but then turned off again the same way and repeated this until i turned it off myself or until the battery died. I tried hitting f8 when starting up but it doesn't change anything. Upon powering it on if i start hitting random keys before it turns itself off, it will just stay on sometimes and not turn itself off, but the screen still stays off.
Any ideas of how to get my laptop booted up properly in order to follow the rest of these steps in the guide?
