Alienware M14x does not start with the rattling noise

So, I woke up to a computer that wouldn't turn on, essentially.  When I press on the power button makes a healthy normal, but a curious sound click 1-2 seconds after, then it stops.

There is no action on the screen, or any other phenomena occurring as the flick charger works. Its simple I indicated above.

I'll try to look inside in a bit, just need a screwdriver

Cheers for any help you can give me

Good so he came back alive after that he told me that no boot was found. No idea of what had happened, probably lose cord hard drive

But I guess that will happen again another time, but fingers crossed it wont

  • Satellite Pro 460 does not start with the new drive in

    I recently received a Satellite Pro 460, but he had no hard drive.
    It starts great without a disc in but as soon as I put a new hard drive in it does not start.

    I thought that it might be again a hard drive, so I pulled out my old Toshiba Satellite with my old drive to work, and yet, it does not start.

    Someone has any ideas why this is and what I can do about it

    I think that you can not do much. Satellite pro 460 CDT, for example, comes with 2 GB of HARD drive. If you try to get it work with similar HDD without success, it may be defective IDE port on the motherboard.

    What HARD drive you are trying to use on this good old classic?

  • Satellite A30 does not start with the USB device connected at boot time

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A30 and sometimes it does not start.
    After turning on, not even the BIOS starts.
    even if sometimes the BIOS starts, but the OS does not load.

    I figured out that its related to USB devices connected at boot time.
    If no USB devices are connected, it starts without a problem.
    Even if the start-up is suspended, as soon as you unplug start it BIOS USB devices.
    Its ok to connect USB devices later, once the system has started.
    I disabled "removable devices boot" and "network startup."
    just in case, but it makes no difference.

    BIOS is version the most recent (1.70) and it comes up with all kinds of USB devices.
    printer, mouse and (self-powered) external USB hard disk.

    Is this a known issue?
    There is no known workaround solution?

    Hello

    I put t know why this happens, but it has to do with the BIOS.
    The same thing happened on my old laptop. I couldn't start my unit while the USB printer has been turned on and connected.
    The only solution is to disconnect the external USB device during the boot process.

    RSY you should check if the order of boot in the BIOS has been on the HARD drive first.

  • C870-19(r) satellite does not start with the new SSD

    I will update the Toshiba Satellite C870 19(r) with a Pro 840 Samsung SSD, but it does not start.

    He said: not found system.

    Post edited by: joch333n

    None found system means that there is no system installed on the SSD drive...

    What you trying to do?
    You start from a disk in order to install the new system?

    In this case, you should disable startup secure in the BIOS.
    I also recommend moving from UEFI mode MSC!

  • C50-A-19 t satellite does not start with the battery mounted

    OK, first post here.

    I see similar questions coming, but as they are never QUITE the same, I am that posing in a new thread.

    I left my Satellite from one day to the next (do not remember if I had put off, or he simply had 'gone to sleep', but it has been connected to the grid).

    When I got to reboot, I got a power light on, but screen blank (black). After reading a few similar complaints on the internet (via another laptop!), I tried to remove the battery and power from the grid.
    This worked well (I write him in this state right now).

    But whenever I put the battery and try again, it will fail in the same way.
    I tried this company "press and hold power for 30 seconds" without success (but I'm not 100% sure of the EXACT procedure actions sequence).

    I have a few questions:

    (1) I take the laptop away from my office - is there a problem with everything just works like this (i.e. of the grid, with no battery inserted) indefinitely?

    (2) in any case, I want to solve the problem.
    If the battery has run COMPLETELY flat, and that the laptop can not it lights but also operate normally?

    Alternatively, is probably that the battery has not experienced a catastrophic failure and simply needs to replace?
    If so, I'll just buy a. BUT...

    What I don't want to do, is to pay for a costly spare battery, to find that it was actually another factor at the origin of the problem, and I'm back to square one and out of Pocket!

    Any advice would be welcome.

    Thank you

    Mike

    Hello

    According to your assignment, in most cases, you use the laptop connected to the power adapter but no battery. Is this correct?

    First we need to know that if the AC adapter is plugged in, the laptop should work correctly with - and without inserting the battery.
    If you unplug the AC adapter, the laptop should automatically switch to battery power. In this case, it is important that the battery is pretty cool power to provide the power for the laptop.
    In case the battery is empty, the laptop will not light.

    I recommend to insert the battery plug the power adapter and charge the battery for a longer period of time.

    You should also check if the battery is recognized by the Windows system and the battery charge indicator (battery in the taskbar icon) shows the State of battery charge.

    In case the battery is fully charged and the laptop does not work using the battery power only, you should test the new battery.
    If new battery does not solve the problem, s for laptop hardware needs an audit.

  • Why my DVD does not start with the film and not on the menu?

    HI -.

    I'm just starting to use yet.

    I import my film as a timeline, my PSD as a Menu, link the button in the menu to the timeline and tie the end to the Timeline action to return to the Menu.  I get no error, when I check prior to construction.

    But when I play the DVD, the menu is entirely ignored.  The movie just started.  End action works and I can navigate the Menu using the remote control, but I want the disc to start with the Menu.

    What Miss me?

    TIA your instruction.

    Hello

    In this case, first of all, I would check my first piece of the project. You can check the first play in the drive properties in the properties panel.

    Click on the disk icon in the window of the chart and look at the properties of the disc in the properties panel.

    If you want your menu to play first you insert the disc in the drive, then this menu must be set as the first piece of theatre.

    I hope this works.

    Thank you

  • Satellite 1800-712 does not start with the new HARD drive

    Hello world.

    I am currently trying to install a new HARD drive in my notebook of 1800-712.
    I'm having a few trubbles as my Satellite won't start with my new HARD drive.

    I upgraded my BIOS to the latest version.
    The new HARD drive is a 40 GB Samsung.

    Any suggestions on what I need to do to make it all works?

    THX, Philippe

    Hello

    This device was shipped with 20 GB HARD drive.
    You again is 40 GB.
    I guess that the BIOS does not recognize the HARD drive because of the size.

    Hi JM,

    Did you remove the Intel HD graphics drivers prior to installing the ATI graphics card?

    Your PC comes with one of the following built-in Intel graphics drivers:

    • Graphics Intel HD 4400 (GT2)

  • SMU 8108 does not start with the new hard drive

    Hello

    I am currently using SMU 8108 with SMU-1062 q.

    The previous record was borken, so I had to install a new hard drive.

    The new hard drive is fommatted as NTFS format, and it is currently mounted on 8108.

    Unfortunately, I don't have recovery disk available to the general public so I am trying to install Windows 7 on a blank hard drive.

    When you start, the LED OK PWK light is all the time, orange DRIVE LED turns on for a few seconds only when I turn on the switch.

    LabVIEW RT switches are all off, I cleared CMOS several times to the Board of Directors, but the screen does not show anything.

    I tried to use my DVI monitor with any other device as well, and it worked, so there is no problem with the monitor.

    In addition, I tried to go in window safe mode by pressing F8 or Del it didn't work, so I can't see anything on the screen when his kick upward.

    I tried to put a lot of information I can it will be very appreciated if you can help me with this problem please.

    You said that you can't in Windows safe mode, you have installed Windows on the hard drive?  Are you able to get into the BIOS of the controller?

    If you are not able to access the BIOS for the controller, it may be due to bad RAM.  If you are uncomfortable installing RAM and you have a few extra laptop RAM of the same type (I think it's the DDR3 for your controller) laying around, you can try to replace the RAM.

    Was your hard drive damaged through certain events, or it just stop working?

  • Inspiron 530 Win XP Home does not start with the TrendNet wireless card

    I just received 5/1 a refurbished Inspiron 530 530 Mini-Tower desktop: Intel Core 2 Quad processor Q6600 (8 MB L2 cache, 2.4 GHz, 1066FSB) Genuine Windows XP Home Edition. The PC didn't have any LAN card and I intend to use a working adapter TrendNet (COMPUSA) 54 Mbps Wireless G PCI I used very well with my old 4300 Dim run also Win XP Home. However, after that I booted up the new PC with the first series, I stopped him. I then opened and installed the card wireless in one of the 2 empty PCI slots. When I turned on the PC, surprise! The PC wouldn't start - it kept beeping with the glowing orange of front power button and turn off every two seconds, I then read the Inspiron 530 manual means that the motherboard has detected an error. Hello. I checked.

    I searched other posts in this forum and I've seen a few references to the boot configuration verification. However, installation of starting my PC doesn't have an option related to the wireless adapter.

    Someone help me please fix this error. I intend to reconnect the card on my old PC wireless again and start just to prove that the card is always good. I only removed a card video of him and the rest of the asis. (I've not carpet in my house is that reduces my chances to have fried the card when you remove or install.) I also touch the chassis of the PC before doing anything.)


  • C55-A-1MW satellite does not start with the new RAM inserted

    Hey.

    I hope to find someone who can help me... I bought ram memories and tried 4 different memories in my C55 A 1MW Satellite. But each card RAM I have insert makes the computer cannot start... It lights just to stop again.

    Is there a compatibility issue or anything like that? I used 2 different aData Ram extensions cars, 1 1 and 4 GB 2 GB. the 4 GB card was 1333 mhz and was 2 GB 1600 mhz card. and I tried 2 corsair 4 GB 1600 mhz different cards.

    Is this something that makes only able to expand RAM with Toshibas own memories or is the second cardslot for broken RAM memory?

    As I see you use RAM modules with different specifications. Your problem is certainly of RAM compatibility and you must use the RAM modules with the same specifications.
    According to specification of laptop there are 4 slots of memory and laptop can handle up to 32 GB of RAM.

    The compatible RAM modules are:
    4 GB DDR3L-1600-PA5104U-1M4G
    8 GB DDR3L-1600-PA5104U-1M8G

    Of course, you can use modules from other manufacturers, but please do not use some cheap products. I can recommend the use of Kingston memory modules.

  • 1800 514 does not start with the new dvd/CD-RW drive

    My old dvd - rom on my toshiba s1800-514 drive was broken, so I had to replace it. I used an old teac as a temporary replacement cd-rom drive. but now, I bought a new dvd/CD-RW-drive combo (toshiba sd-r2612). but the laptop does not seem to post, I get the "toshiba" screen (when it says press f12 to select boot device). but it stops there and does nothing. I can open the player, it seems to be connected ok.

    Why won't it work? (only the bios setting which applies is one that I can't change...). the drive is nine ar so small chance it's already broken.

    What should do?

    Hello

    A few weeks ago one of my friends also had a problem with his replacement new drive. He wanted to move the DVD/CD player to a DVD burner.

    The only thing he had to do was change the master/slave settings!
