Hey

I already started a thread about my issues with the system reserved partition, but after spending way too much time digging through useless Google results, I managed to completely brick my laptop... Basically, I went into Disk Management, right-clicked on the C: drive, and selected "make active partition." After I rebooted, the thing just died on me. Everything lights up like it’s powering on, but there's nothing on the screen and no sign of life from the hardware itself. I'm officially stuck. Any ideas?

Man... you might as well have used a sledgehammer...

You basically nuked the drive; there’s no way for macOS to recover itself now. On the bright side, if you actually did what you said you did, your data is probably even more messed up—which means you might be able to salvage it by plugging the drive into another computer. As for your laptop, I don't think anything's going to fix it short of a full macOS reinstall...
