Ok the Wifes laptop was working now it is not. did not recover from sleep.
I have power cycled it pulled the battery but screen is dead and does not sound like anything other than the CD is powering up

Ideas.

Can hard disk content be recovered

Plug on an ext monitor and see if that displays anything.

If not - pull the HDD and plug it into another PC to read the data. (quite an easy task if you know what to do)

It started working so backed it up.
I have pulled HDD's before from laptops.
Had a smashed laptop at work that we used in workshop for ages with external monitor. LCDs are quite pretty when you smash them.
Was checking Estop program cause it was working/resetting funny hit buttons in wrong order machine clamp came down I hit the Estop the clamp continued and smashed laptop, then safety screen came across and swept laptop off machine onto floor, after 10 sec of disbelief I thought "F*&k that might not have been the best place to put the laptop"
went to workshop the boss looked at me and said "are you all right you didn't hurt yourself" - "nope but the laptop is a little worse for wear, and that Estop defiantly does not work correctly..... can I have the other laptop?"
We got a PC on a cart after that
