Acer aspire V5-551 starts.

I see the hard drive in the Bios, but at the start it gives: no boot device.

Also putting a DVD in the drive it would recognize it.

How can I solve this?

have you changed anything on windows or the BIOS before having this problem?

If it isn't

First try to check if ALT + F10 at startup take you to recovery 8.x windows and you can join the command-line from there:
Troubleshooting-advanced options - command prompt (if it works, go to point 4, if not point 1)

1. create an installation media Windows 8.1 of vanilla from this link:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media

2. Once you start using the disk installation of Windows on the Windows 8.x installation window, click on repair your computer.

3. click on troubleshooting and advanced options. First thing you can try is the auto repair.

4. If this does not help, and then select command prompt. Enter the following commands to four in the command prompt.
Bootrec /fixmbr
Bootrec /fixboot
Bootrec /scanos
Bootrec /rebuildbcd
Once the order is complete, restart the computer.

  • Acer Aspire v3 - 551 Advanced Bios

    Hi, I need activate virtualization on my Aspire v3-551 runs the update of the Bios 2.14

    I would also like to know if there is anyway (inside the bios) to increase my fan speed?

    Thanks for any help

    Run this detector to determine if your laptop is capable and enabled:

    http://go.Microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=163321

    If so, you should see this:

    It is the result of my M5-581TG. I don't have any BIOS entry for virtualization. I think that, on capable machines, this will be enabled by default as is the case on my M5.

    According to me, the table of temperature/speed of the fan is wired in the BIOS and cannot be changed.

  • Acer Aspire R7 cannot start when taken battery

    My R7 works ok then remove the battery and plug in the power cable.

    R7 works fine when plugged in NO battery cable and power.

    Question:

    1 is dead battery only, I need to buy a battery and everything will be ok (technician Acer said, but he didn't have a good battery to test and prove)?

    2. is some out of component on the motherboard, as the module power management?

    I'm afraid that I buy a battery and the problem still there?

    Who can help me!

    If it was me, I suspect the battery enough to buy one. I think that if it was hardware power management, it would not work to power either.

  • How many Watts my battery? Acer aspire E5 - 551 G-T018

    I can't find this information on my laptop...

    I wonder how many Watts is my battery?

    I want to buy this laptop external battery

    https://www.Amazon.ca/portable-external-multi-voltage-computer-notebook/DP/B010D2RQ10

    But I read that this Bank will charge to 45W. I'm afraid that if my laptop is more then 45W it will not charge

    I don't really understand what these numbers are anyway. My laptop battery 4200Mah and this external battery 10400Mah which would mean he could charge my laptop almost 3 times.

    I don't know what role of Watt. But I read that it can charge laptops of 45W. What happens if my laptop has Watt more of 45 years?

    Thank you to all who help!

    It will help your main battery for sure, but I don't know how, when you use PS or CAD.
    Moreover, it will be difficult to find something more powerful and still small to be portable.

  • Acer Aspire E5 - 551g do not correctly restart

    Hello

    I have a laptop Acer Aspire G 551 - E5 - t0jn which was not correctly restart after upgrade to Windows 10.

    The laptop starts if I press and hold the powerkey until it passes to the wide, or make a SHUT DOWN instead. However, when I just do a restart it just hangs at the Acer logo indefinitely. I did a clean install of windows 10 and the problem persisted. I then installed a linux beside windows 10 distribution and the problem persists there too, so I'm not sure it's just windows 10. However, until the upgrade, 8.1 and my time given linux partition on very well without hassle.

    Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated

    Thank you

    The problem was the Ultimate - n 6300 Wireless Nic Intel I asked to replace the buggy Atheros, since swapping back everything works as should be. I never suspected the wireless network card could be the problem, but it turns out that this particular card and E5 mobile computers Acer 551G could not agree and resulted in the laptop hung downtown after the reboot.

  • Can I replace my DVD burner drive for the drive on Aspire E5 - 551 G-T018?

    Hello

    Recently I opened my Matthew acer aspire E5 - 551 G-T018 to replace my 1 TB to 240 GB SSD HARD drive.

    And now I recently saw on a website that there are these caddy that can be used to replace the DVD rom for extra HDD or SSD.

    My laptop has a DVD. It is held by a screw in the back. DVD rom doesn't have a SATA connector, but some small connector and SATA, I don't know his name.

    What I was wondering is would it be possible to replace the DVD rom on this model for a caddy with my old HDD in there?

    And if it's possible. Thickness of which would I need for my future caddy?

    Thank you!

  • Aspire V3 - 551-10 Windows

  • WINDOWS 7 STARTER/ACER ASPIRE ONE UPDATE HELP

    I have a brand new Acer Aspire One Netbook.  It is brand new, so after I did the initial installation for the new netbook, Windows 7 is an update.  When the update is complete, it blocks my netbook.  I get a black screen and a cursor only.  The only way I can fix it is to restore back to the factory and start all over again.  Anyone know why this is happening or that updates 62 is the cause? I basically can't update my OS until it is fixed or know where it is and it can check the updated list.

    You say you have 62 updates. The only true way to know what update is the cause of the problem is by installing one at a time.

    I was looking especially the optional updates as shows drivers etc. If you are offered drivers, you should consult the manufacturer's website to see if indeed you really need the updated drivers.

  • Laptop does not start: error BCD on Acer Aspire M3-581

    Hello

    Acer Aspire M3 581PTG my son has stopped booting.  At the start, immediately after the Acer logo, it now shows a blue screen with the message:

    Recovery

    Certain required information does not appear in the data of Configuration startup file. File: \BCD Error code: 0xc000000d

    He then refers to using the tools of recovery and the media, but we cannot locate Acer recovery disks and do not remember if the laptop came with everything.  I started by using a normal 8.1 Windows installation CD and tried to use different repair options, but nothing worked (perhaps because Acer has a SSD and HDD so need a specialized repair utility?).

    We contacted Acer but just received a generic response to do a factory reset.  If anyone has encountered this error or is able to offer a solution?

    Thank you.

    Try this:

    If you still have problems starting, I suspect a hardware failure at this point, maybe the SSD or HARD disk.

    Contact your regional Acer support service.

  • Cannot start Acer aspire V3 - 571G "scan and repair drive (E): 27%.

    Hello! I have an Acer aspire V3 - 571G. But I have a problem now, when I boot, the screen with the Acer logo appears, with the message: "Analysis and repair Drive (E): 27% Complete" and it never moves from 27 percent. So I unplugged the computer sometimes and sometimes a message asking me to restore to an earlier version. Once I tried to restore, a screen with the Acer logo appears. Before I restarted the computer and had this problem, I downloaded a scanning software from disk on the Ookla Speedtest site, but since he cannot solve all the problems, I downloaded another similar software by AVG Netherlands BV and fixed all the problems. Then they said that I needed to fix something in the Device Manager (3 of my miniports were not work) so I looked on the net for a solution, that I followed and uninstalled all 3 miniports. After the AVG scan, it asked me to restart, which I did later and could not get more in Windows. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    I finally solved this problem! After starting, press F9, and then click "restore." Then you will need to be patient and start the computer normally will be! Here it helps other people with this problem too.

  • Acer Aspire R7 stuck in the diagnosis of the PC / had media failure before you start.

    I woke up this morning and I saw my Aspire R7 with a black screen. He had the 'boot failure media' text, so I hard it started again with the power button as the keys were not appropriate. The computer has restarted and then wouldn't start, so I cycled in, on and off a couple of times and then he went in "Diagnose your PC" where he stayed for the last hour and a half.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    The specifications are:

    Acer Aspire R7-571 - 53338 G 1 .02Tass

    Core i5-3337U

    Intel HD 4000

    8 GB OF DDR3 MEMORY

    Hi Squilliam!

    Failure of bootable media, generally describes a fault/problem with the hard drive, or the connection. You can check the hard disk drive yourself to ensure that it is well installed, but if it's under warranty (which I think it's maybe) then contact Acer support for your region.

  • My Acer Aspire R14 does not start with the cord of the charger plugged in with the battery connected to

    A few weeks ago, my laptop Acer Aspire R14 went totally blank. When I unplugged the power cord, it started right to the top, but at the moment where I plugged the power cord back inside would be closed. The battery dies quickly in this way, because it would not charge. I removed the battery then it started upward with the power cord. I thought it must be the battery, so I installed a new battery. which is not to change the problem.

    So, I ordered a new motherboard and after a few weeks, I received it today, installed, and I have always the same thing. It works well with the power cord plugged in until the battery is disconnected. But at the time wherever I connect the battery, everything stops, not to be revived unless I disconnect the battery.

    I need help! What could be the problem?

    Glad I could help.
