G60-235DX no bootable device code and beep = could not initialize video = now I'm confused

HP G60-235DX

model - NB042UA

Vista

Out of nowhere when I woke up my laptop mode 'sleep', I haven't had a black screen and the message "no boot device - insert boot disk...". »

Here's what I have so far...

hard drive test in BIOS hard drive = does not exist

test memory = past

vents cleaned with canned air

removed hard drive and reinstall

removed and reinstall the memory

a power reset

the AC light is lit. I do not use the battery. It has been bad for awhile and I don't need so I only use the power supply.

the Caps Lock key light flashes more as a starting point upward

I can hear the fan turns

According to record, the beep code HP (2 fast, 1 long and repeated five times) = "failed to initialize video or a required but not installed video card" and I have no idea what it means. I thought I was dealing with a hard drive issue so now I'm confused.

Is there anything else I can do to solve this problem, and if not, my hard disk files can be recovered?

I heard start Ubuntu. How to use Ubuntu to recover my files or same Apricorn DriveWire USB?

Thanks in advance for any help and be gentle... I could not understand everything you say in computer-speak! I'm not a geek (and I use that term with love) but I'm smart enough to follow instructions!

Happy to help you at kpelephant.
