Just going to copy pasta my thread from the HP sub forum as I didn't get any responses.
Found an old laptop in the basement, I was just going to salvage the hard drive ( if it even worked ) but figured it might have a chance at life since it seems to be somewhat operational.
Plugged it in, I get the charging indicator flashing, press power and all the leds power on except for the HDD and I hear whirling noise ( most likely the disk reader ) then 2 clicks from the hard drive then repeats...
