Product: HP Pavilion dv5000
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit)

The Laptop wont start up, all i get is a black screen with a prompt as if I am supposed to enter a command but won't let me enter anything. Ive reebooted it many times. I do not have the recovery discs since I bought this used. Any suggestions?
