Hey everyone.

So, look... my laptop has been acting up. Like, seriously, insane levels of glitching here.

Basically, the screen just refuses to turn on unless the wireless light is lit up. And I mean, even when I have the physical wireless switch on the side set to OFF, it still won't show anything.

The only time it actually works—like, showing everything it’s supposed to and letting me actually get stuff done—is when that light is off.

But then, during the last boot-up, things went totally sideways. All the lights just popped on at once—Bluetooth, wireless, power indicator, all of 'em.
I shut it down immediately, obviously, but after that? Nothing. Dead. No signs of life at all. Someone told me to pull the battery straight off the motherboard, so I did that and swapped in a new one. That got it running again, but now it's being super weird. The CPU fan is spinning fine and I can hear the hard drive clicking away, but it's like... it keeps trying to restart itself over and over again. It's stuck in this endless loop...
