E6420 Laptop won't boot - Recovery non-responsive

Hi,

I have an E6420 Laptop. It wouldn't boot today and I can't get windows recovery to boot either from the HDD or a USB drive. So I tried the Dell Diagnostics test from USB. I tried running the tests associated with OS won't Start. The following tests failed:

Interrupt Controller PIC Functionality Test Failed. Error code "4C00:0522".  Msg "SYSTEM - The interrupt controller, or a device attached to it, is not working".

SATA Disk Read Test Failed. Error Code "0F00:0232". Msg "DISK_0 - Block 64382024: Timeout waiting for IRQ" 

SATA Disk SMART Long Self Test Failed. Error Code "0F00:075D". Msg "DISK_0 - The self-test failed the read portion of the test".

SATA Disk Verify Test Failed. Error Code “0F00:1A32”. Msg “DISK_0 – Block 64382024: Timeout waiting for IRQ”

What do these mean? HDD failure, have to replace it?

Thanks,

Brent

Hi CaptainBDSC,

Thank you for writing to Dell Community Forum.

Looks like the hard drive has some bad sectors. Can you try to run the on-board diagnostics and capture any error codes or message you receive.

Please click my DELL-username and send me a Private Message with the Dell Service Tag number and your email address.
