Nov 16, 2015 9:56 AMby Vikingbymarriage,I will try all answers given here. So far I can't get past the blue screen no matter if I hold the [shift] key; or [ctrl +R]; or [ctrl +PR] - always stuck on blue. My fear is that it's more than I can do, and needs a repair shop (here in Finland).
Luckily my last backup was only 5 days ago, and so hopefully loss was minimal.
Thanks to all for answering.

Maybe this one:
