Acer laptop won't start

Hello, I'm new here... In any case my Acer Aspire E 15 won't start. All I get is a small box blue message which said: lack of default boot device or startup failed. Insert the recovery media and press a key. Then select "Boot Manager" to select a new device boot or Boot Recovery Media. " So I press on enter a couple of times just to go back to the same blue message dialog box. I tried to go and wait five seconds to launch a kind of recovery, but it did not work. Then I activated the f12 boot sequence, and this alteration has nothing. My laptop did not come with a CD/DVD player, when my father bought new last Christmas. I uninstalled Microsoft Office Spotify and Amazon the last time that I logged online. The 64-bit Windows 8.1 is built in. Maybe that remove some files. IDK. What should I do? Do I need some sort of media recovery USB device? Your help is appreciated. Thanks, Neil

It was a hardware problem and now it is fixed. Back to zero once again.

BIOS ran diagnostics, everything was good except the hard disk, hd chk result: replace the hard drive. F11 entered to access advanced hp Recovery Manager options tempted towards the top of the entire disk, all files show while listing to back up, attached to my external hard drive current over the back with success.  Plugged external on another laptop, new files since the previous backup are no where.  Should I buy a new external hard drive and repeat the backup via Recovery Manager Advanced Options or should I remove the internal hard disk and insert it into a case and apply in usb on another laptop to view the files.  I know when my computer crashed, I had too many windows/tabs open and too much process and tried to interrupt a process and I confused his little brain and now he has Alzheimer's disease.  I am freaked because I'll lose everything 2012 including some very important documents and about 50 000 pictures HD (yes I learned my lesson backup!) I am in crisis mode because I recently became sick and my photos and documents is vital for my next year of chemotherapy and radiation. Please advice are extremely appreciated. Thank you

    Hello

    This backup after pressing F11 is a HP backup option, not a Microsoft option.

    I suggest that you contact HP or ask their Support Forums.

    It's the normal advice I'd give to record data; but we have no idea of the State of your hard drive.

    Saving your files:

    You can remove the hard drive and put it in a hard drive USB enclosure > plug it into another computer > and try to read and copy your data in this way.

    Or, you can download Knoppix > make a bootdisk to > start your system with it (IF your material is all work) > and copy your data from the hard drive like that.

    I suspect that your HARD drive has a problem, generally, it's like that, it won't start if the HARD drive was fried on you, try a key recovery to restore as long as day 1. Otherwise, buy a slap of casing 2.5 drive your hard drive inside, save the files after reinstall windows 8 or make the one key recovery.

    As you probably know Evesham closed to the public in 2008.

    I think that your computer is a portable computer. I can't access a free copy of the manual, but I imagine that you have a copy of the operating system on the hard drive in a recovery partition. Am I wrong?

    Before attempting to repair your computer, you will need to back up your data files on removable media. If the computer does not start, you need access to a second computer at home. Do you have a? If Yes is it a desktop or a laptop?

    I would also ask if you comfortable using a screwdriver to remove the hard drive of your laptop Evesham, put it on an external support which can be purchased via Amazon and its connection to a USB port on the second computer. These are not difficult tasks, but not everyone wants to take on this task. If not comfortable take your laptop to a local computer repair shop.

    As for the repair of your laptop once you have recovered your data files, restore the operating system to factory settings using the copy of Windows XP, which I think is more than likely in a recovery partition. It will be activated by single key, perhaps the F10 or F11 key or you can have an option in the menu that appears when you press the F8 key during the boot process. It also seems that Evesham commonly supplied recovery discs.

    If a factory restore does not work I would then test the memory.

  • Help! Laptop won't start up. BSOD "Stop: c000021a {fatal system error}...". »

    I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 1750. Since Sept 09.

    Starting from Saturday, may 8 my system won't start up

    I turn it on it loads the Dell logo, loads the windows logo, and then flashes a blue screen for a split second (the blue screen flashes so quickly that it is difficult to read what he says, so I recorded it and it comes up with "STOP: c000021a {fatal system error} the verification of a knownDLL failed.") system process finished unexpectedly the status of 0xc000012f (0x0007c220 0x00000000) the system has been shut down.) and restarts after the dell logo loading again it goes to a black screen with the options to launch start up repair or start windows normally.

    I have Launced the Startup Repair, after loading files and checking for problems it says then Startup Repair cannot repair this computer automatically. I made the diagnosis and he says there is no problem, I have contatced dell as it is still under warranty but they said this isn't a hardware problem, it is a software problem and infact NOT covered by the warranty and I have to pay £60 to have the support of the software. I don't have a recovery disc and tried to restore the system to an earlier stage. But no luck!

    Was hoping someone here, perhaps a solution. Please please please help!

    Thank you very much

    Status 0xc000012f is "STATUS_INVALID_IMAGE_NOT_MZ" - "the file specified image did not have the correct format, it did have an initial MZ." (anecdote: binary windows start with MZ - the initials of Mark Zbikowski - who was a promoter of the MS-DOS product)

    That, with "a knownDLL verification failed."  Basically telling you that you have corrupted files on your system.  Any chance you are able to boot into safe mode or safe mode with command prompt to run SFC/scannow?  Can you somehow shoot out of the system event logs and check the events worthy of attention?  Are you all able to run chkdsk on the drive through the command prompt in the System Recovery Options?

    my HP pavilion laptop is not start properly.  We conducted a diagnostic test HP and its entry to the top with the following error messages:

    -check dst short of hard drive: failed.  ID of congestive RLW004 - 7027 has 6-MFPWWK-60VU03

    Any ideas?

    Laptop is less than years so presumably under warranty...

    Hello

    The two error codes 24 characters for the drive Self Test (DST) would indicate that hard is defective and must be replaced.  This is also consistent with the startup problem.

    As your laptop should still be under warranty, contact HP and arrange for the replaced disk - you can check the status of your warranty here.

    If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

    If you are in another part of the world, begin here.

  • Acer laptop does not start after the blue screen

    After I got a blue screen (flashed by too fast to see the error message) when I try to reboot my acer 5610Z laptop computer with vista home edition, usually nothing happens at all. sometimes windows is trying to run the Startup Repair tool, then crashes and only a cursor flashing at a black screen.  Tried to open the case and clean the Fan & Heatsink heat to air without effect.

    The blue screen came a few days after I started using a new USB mouse, but the fan seemed to get high a few days earlier.

    But I noticed it will make the road to startup repair only if the battery is in, and never if only the power cord is attached.  Also, if I let the computer sit for several days, it is more likely start (even though he never passed from the Startup Repair).

    1. try the system restore.

    2. try to do a startup repair disk.

    3 acer Recovery Options.

    4. contact Acer.

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    If the above does not work, try to make a Bootable ERD to do a Startup Repair:

    As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

    As your grave in the category above, download the ISO on the link provided and make a bootdisk of it.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    You can make a tool to restart system, System Restore, etc. with it.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista repair disc.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    There is not a disk of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

    ·        The unit is able to reload Windows from this mode faster then CD.

    ·        The default password is 000000 (6 zeros) and it is shown when you are prompted for the password.

    ·        Users are able to change the password in this mode for eRecovery only.

    ·        The system can retrieve the hidden on the hard disk (partition PQService) image or a CD/DVD media.

    ·        It is possible to reload the factory CD/DVD style or snapshots that creates the eRecovery Windows version.

    2. in Windows, there are 3 ways to access eRecovery functionality.

    ·        Press Alt and F10

    ·        Open Acer eManager and then double-click eRecovery.

  • HP laptop, 2000 - 369WM: computer laptop not screen not work/laptop won't start not

    This laptop was headed for a few years, I'm not sure how much because it is not mine. My phone has been stalled next to the laptop and fell on it and the screen when it is dark. I tried to reboot it but the screen does not always work, it continued for nearly a day. Finally when I tried to restart, the laptop would begin to start but stop for two or three seconds in a power upward. Tried a hard reset, but it did nothing. After the hard reset the computer started, but froze on the Windows splash screen. Subsequently, he left always start after two or three seconds. Is stayed away from him for a week or so trying to figure out what was wrong with TI/where I could get help. Came back to it today to try and it works again, but this time he stopped on the dark screen and now it is a black screen with lines green all around him and a few blue lines. Do I have to take the phone to a technician nearby or is all hope lost for her?

  • HP 15-f111dx: laptop won't start or go to the menu of system recovery?

    So the other day I was cleaning off my laptop and I slipped the keyboard with a towel and I guess I pressed something I wouldn't because he went to a white screen and green-ish (the color of my windows theme 8) and I had to turn off because he wouldn't do anything.

    Now when I turn it on it has the loading of HP and said preparation of automatic recovery screen, but then it's just a black screen after a minute. I can go into the menu of the BIOS (F9) and the parameters of the system (F10), but I can not enter the page of system recovery. When I press the F11 key to make, it said system restore in the corner, but then it goes to the loading screen 'system recovery preparation' just and turns to a black screen.

    I ran a test of the system short on the menu diagnostics and it says verification of DST short of hard drive failed. I got the error code was U4TV68-7J3886-MFPV6K - T 60, 603. Any help here? I don't mind reset my computer to default settings, if that's possible, but I can't exactly go and buy a new laptop now.

    Thanks in advance!

    Short of DST = disk failure hard drive is not / is a failure and should be replaced. Unfortunately HP does not that easy in their later models. On laptops earlier it was open the service door on the bottom and replace the drive. Now, it requires a dismantling almost full access to the drive, as shown in the Service Guide and interview here:

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c04763999

    You can buy a hard drive for $50-60, but if you're not handy with disassembly, you'll have to pay someone to replace. Repair of local pc shop, Best Buy, Staples, etc.

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16822236561

    BTW I hope you did your recovery media using software on the laptop. You will need to start the laptop and install Windows on a new drive. If this isn't the case, it will be an extra $ 40 for the purchase of HP.
