Laptop Locked Up?

I own an HP laptop. I turned it off to clean the screen.
Upon startup it reads;
CHECKING MEDIA
It then has a message that reads;
The selected boot device failed. Press <ENTER> to Continue
When l press ENTER it shuts off. I try to restart it and it does the same thing.
Any suggestions on how to get it started?
 
Usually that happens when the storage is toast, rotational media fails a lot in mobile devices. If it wasn't quite off when you flipped it over to clean it may have received some shock damage, but who knows.


That sounds pretty sus.
Do you think the USB drive they're sending me will fix it?
 
HP sent me a USB DRIVE to reconfigure my computer. Everything is ok now and back to normal.
