Alienware 17 R3, 15 R2, R2 13 not turning on the problem (the reason + FIX)

Many people including me have exactly the same problem where their Alienware Laptop lights once you stop him for no reason at all. Now, people DO NOT panic! There is nothing wrong with your hardware. The laptop is perfectly fine. What is causing this issue is the BIOS they come out (1.2.12, 1.2.13, 1.2.14) these BIOS cause this problem ive never had an issues before on the latest bios of 2015 that was installed on the Alienware when I bought it until I've updated the above bios. Alienware I please ask you to not release a bios that would cause problems to people and please do some intensive tests before releasing anything. The sticky on the forum here has fixed the problem though, but he may return.

This will solve your problem, it is said in this link install BIOS 1.2.13 or more, BUT DO NOT, and instead when the computer turns on after you follow the instructions for the fix mentioned in the link below, download BIOS 1.2.8 and install it, then 1.2.8 after you won't have the problem more.

1.2.8 is BIOS, I recommend to all install on their computers laptops alienware

    1. Thank you.

    you experience serious problem... because usually it works very well.

    Try the following:

    SQL > shutdown immediate;

    SQL > bootable media.

    SQL > alter flashback database;

    SQL > alter database backup controlfile to trace noresetlogs;

    SQL > shutdown immediate;

    go to the trace file generated from running (alter database backup controlfile to trace noresetlogs ;)

    location of the trace file is located in the query:

    SQL > select * from v$ diag_info;

    It will contain the script with the SQL commands, you can rename the file with the extension ".sql".

    SQL > startup nomount

    SQL > @trace_file. SQL

    SQL > restore database;

    SQL > alter database open;

    So basically you are going to recreate the files of control again...

  • Prblem with buttons; Cursor does not turn in the pointer (finger) into the mouseover state

    I'm programming the buttons on board animate, which are just symbols with their own timeline. I gave them actions to clicks, mouseover and mouseout/mouseouthandler(). They just call URL and are working properly, but I noticed that the cursor does not turn in the pointer (the hand with the index pointig) in the mouseover state. This creates a strange feeling, because users are not sure they are before buttons they click on them...

    Is there any solution for this?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    I did the update on my laptop Satellite C855-14 days, and all of a sudden the power went out,

    What should do?

    From my point of few the EPROM module must be re-flashed once more with special BIOS crisis recovery disk.

    Usually, this procedure could be done only by authorized service provider available in your country.

    But I found an interesting announcement about how to flash the BIOS on U400 series.
    See the last post [here: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=62852]

    But I don't very well if this info would be useful and if it would work in your laptop to Mr. However, in case this would not work, contact the ASP from Toshiba for help

    If a thief steals your phone and entering the password incorrectly 10 times, your phone memory is cleared. That would be not just reset the iPhone and be like giving the thief a phone?

  • Can not turn on the Satellite M30

    Hello everyone...

    I have a Satellite M30 laptop for time enough and I'm having a problem with it. When I try to turn it on, it makes a kind of scratch noise and then nothing happens. The hard drive lit wrath but the computer does no sound and no picture on the screen. I tried to turn it on with and without the battery and the same thing happens.

    A few days before this happened that I could see the windows startup screen, after that the computer crashed, even when I went to the BIOS Setup screen, the computer also crashed, so the problem was not on the hard disk. A few days later, when I tried to turn it back on, it makes a single probe and nothing else happened. Can it be a motherboard problem? can I try before sending it for repair

    I'm scared of m it s a serious problem.
    Depending on the symptoms that you described the laptop cannot get the message and so I think there may be an error on the motherboard.
    I don t think you will be able to locate the fault. It is simply not possible for the common user like you and me

    If you have no choice as to the request of the service provider for Toshiba for help.

    Hi samir,.

    To be honest it is really hard to say something about it because you didn t post important information about your laptop model and the operating system

    Regarding your first problem: it happens when the power adapter is connected or only with the battery?

    On the second problem I m of ideas, but it would be important to know what OS you are using.
