Question posted in 2014, almost 5 years back, laptop by this time seems to be abandoned or scrapped? and if still searching only solution is to change the Hard Disk Drive
it is NOT a laptop at all. period
a desktop in mini case or SFF.
they have 4 cases and 4 motherboards so
270 means not much,lackng photo of his or full service tag data.
he looked at the dead PC for 5 years
the today ,sees this post and spends $200\
fixing a dead, PC worth zero.
one just sold for $10 on fleabay
buy Optiplex 990 or newer
and win! with a FUTURE>
put raw cash only on things that are viable
and have future, IMO , w10-64 certified, or its chopped liver. or worse.
270 was made in 2004, that is way too old
15 years, is junk now (LoL a text server?)
but for sure the coin cell is dead,
and HDD bad, this old.
the Smart HDD tests will fail.
HDD silent. its bad.
the HDD failing C6 parameter. bad.
the PSU dead is next, or now.(weak)
and full of lint blocking all fans.
2 fans, at least.
f1 loops are mostly dead CMOS RTC battery coin cell
the coin cell lasts 7 years max
most techs, now some can run 10 (luck happens)
but his failed, at 10 years, clear as day
once the battery is replaced
we reset the bios (in the page marked set bios defaults)]
and HDD0 now boots, CD try empty, usb memory sticks in pocket.
f1 or F2 key means the HDD is dead
or OS gone byebye there.
on Dell server means same. (or raid card upset)

Make sure all the connections to the Hard Drive are tight and secure. Then see if it will boot. If not then try loading a windows cd and see if it detects the Hard drive. If it does not the hard drive is no good if it does try running the automated system recovery you may have a corrupt MBR file.

it is hard drive or HDD is damaged or corrupted, i will advice you to buy and upgrade to a new
one and then install back the OS, I mean that you need to install back the operating system. Firstly
open up the system and remove the old and damaged HDD "hard drive" then put the new
one in after you might have purchased, you can get a new HDD from just about any computer stores. After you have put in the new HDD, then reboot your system and put the opearating system CD into the CD drive to start the installation of the OS, follow the instructions carefully. But make sure you get the correct component for the CPU.
If this is difficult for you to do, kindly get a computer engineer or technician to help you out. Thanks

Try to replace the CMOS(CR2032) 3v battery, could be the Bios is not function as it should. Set the Bios to settings to default and see whether the HDD is detected in the Bios settings.
If is is no good probably the HDD could be faulty.
