Aspire M5201 wouldn't boot

Hello, my aspire has stopped working. It turns on, including the hard drive, but nothing happens. I removed the hard drive and backed up my data on a separate drive, cleaned and defragmented the drive. I tried to insert the discs of recovery without result. Any thoughts?

Hello David,.

I guess that the office is working normally.

  1. The bios information has been updated with a few errors due to a bad battery in the CMOS.
    It has been "lost".
  2. CMOS wrong settings

    CMOS date/time not set

    CMOS checksum bad
    These messages appear when the battery is faulty (normally).
    As you have changed it, I suggest you to clean the contact of the battery holder. Can be bad contact.

  • Aspire 5742-6798 UEFI boot problem

    I have an Aspire 5742-6798 provided with Windows 7 installed.  Someone tried to upgrade to Windows 8.

    Now, the laptop isn't even trying to boot from the hard drive. It goes directly to the initialization of the network.

    I started from the 8.1 Windows installation media and clicked on "computer repair". I tried a reset, which has almost immediately. Discount did the same.  I went with Options in advance and went to a command prompt. bcdedit gives:

    "The boot configuration data store could not be opened.

    The requested system device cannot be found. »

    DiskPart displays all partitions and volumes, normal and healthy.  volume of the list shows:

    Acer volume 1 C NTFS Partition 579 GB healthy

    Hidden 2 RECOVERY NTFS Partition 600 MB Healthy volume

    Hidden 3 ESP FAT32 Partition of 300 MB Healthy volume

    Volume 4 Partition 15 GB NTFS healthy hidden button

    So I would like to boot from the recovery partition, so I can restore the default out-of-box laptop.  I suppose one of these partitions would do what I want.  Car-Alt + F10 does nothing to start.  Hard disk is configured for TPG.

    How can I select a partition to boot from?  I know that I did a time, years; but I don't know how I did it.  The fact that the laptop uses UEFI change everything?

    Thanks in advance.

    Someone please mark this resolved.

    I'm a fool.

    The laptop isn't UEFI.  This is why I couldn't manipulate the GPT disk.

    Sorry for wasting time in person.

  • Acer aspire switch 10 no boot device

    Hello, I am working on an Acer Aspire Switch 10 2 in 1 (there so no usb port and no cd drive) when I turn it on it flashes Acer logo for a second and then jump to "No boot device" with an image of a hard drive and a magnifying glass. This was not the case before. I could get for the recovery and trying, but it did not work. Now it seems that when I go in the settings of UEFI, boot order options have nothing other than IPV4 and peripheral USB for possible boot options.

    On information in the BIOS, you can find any reference to the members of the SSD?

    If this isn't the case, it is probably a hardware failure.

  • Satellite L770D-10J wouldn't boot - Disk Read Error

    Hello

    My laptop cannot start and it gives me the Error Message:
    Error reading a disc like the case, press ctrl + alt + delete.

    I did it a couple of times and I tried to solve this problem because I have no Win7 DVD to boot from, I tried to reset the BIOS to its standard options and now he wants a password for me.

    I was not even enter a so I won't know it.
    After 3 attempts the system stops and I have to restart my computer.

    Now, I have an external hard drive but I can't try to boot from it because my laptop wants that password.

    To enter the BIOS or menu I also need this password.
    I really need help, if you know anything please contact me with 'NOTEBOOKS TOSHIBA computers SUPPORT. My warranty ran out already.

    Sorry for the bad English is not my mother tongue.
    Thank you for helping me.

    I assume you mean the BIOS password.

    This BIOS password can be deleted by authorized service provider available in your country.
    I have no idea why a BIOS password is displayed if you have not defined it in the past, but it is impossible to delete this unknown password by common laptop user. The BIOS password is a very important security element, and only authorized individuals are able to remove it.

    Error reading the disk:
    I'm not quite sure what disc do you mean exactly, but where the installed system cannot start, I think that the HARD drive is faulty and must be replaced. After this replacement, you will need to reinstall the system. The best way to install the system is using the Toshiba Recovery disk because all drivers and tools Toshiba would be installed with the Windows System.

  • Satellite 855D-S5120 - wouldn't boot efi file on the HARD drive

    I had no problem to boot from a usb port or a live cd in grub or gummiboot, but I was not able to do the same with the hard drive.

    The NVRAM settings are not persistent. I was able to set a uefi shell using the two Jean efibootmgr or significant, but they are reset to zero when you restart.

    I was able to initiate gummiboot out of USB by renaming the BOOTX64.efi file

    My efi partition is fat32 and marked as boot-able. I understand that some implementations of UEFI aren't complete implementations by the UEFI specification. which I think is the case here.

    Since the NVRAM apears does not have to be definable. I need to know where and what this implementation is looking for hard disk. Someone at - it the answer?

    Hello

  • Satellite C650 - wouldn't boot via USB

    Long story, please bear with me

    A friend of a friend has a laptop Toshiba Satellite C650 she bought less new year with Windows 7 top and a few weeks ago, she had problems with a virus/spyware and paid somebody £40 who said they would sort it out with it. When it is revenue that he would just try to start XP and then the blue screen of death as XP tries to start. All attempts to communicate with the person who did this Fix has since then.

    Knowing that I have a Satellite and a reasonable knowledge of computers, my friend asked me if I could have a look and try and do a setup that would work for her and I agreed thinking along the lines of using my Vista Satellite, CD boot recovery disc, install Vista and then upgrade to Windows 7 by using the product key that she on his machine so enter the bios that I put it to start starting from the CD, insert the CD, turn on and off the drive, but he tried to load XP before the dreaded blue screen of death again :( Looks like that there is not drivers for the CD drive :(

    So I copy the files to an external hard drive that is empty I put the boot menu to boot from the USB key, plug the HD and turn on and instead of boot from the external drive, it still attempts to load XP before the blue screen again.

    I ve done the same with Hirems on the disk and once again the same thing, what it will do is try to load a version of XP from somewhere and then crush the dreaded :(blue screen

    Any ideas what can be the problem and how can I force it to load from my external hard drive so that I can do a format and reinstall?

    Hey,.

    A little confused your assignment, you used another disk of your Toshiba laptop recovery, right? Well, if it s not the same mode, it will not work because each laptop model has its own installation of recovery with different drivers and tools. There is therefore no recovery disk that works for each laptop model.

    Best way to restore a clean Windows installation is for this model of laptop recovery disk. If you n t have it can be ordered directly from Toshiba:

  • Satellite A105-S361 wouldn't boot CDrom or PXE Linux

    Hello

    I just bought a toshiba satellite A105-S361, I deleted all partitions & installed Linux operating system. After a few days, I find that, although everything works perfectly, I can't boot from the CDrom or network (PXE). No matter how I change the settings in the BIOS, it is just try to boot from the CD or network, it goes straight to the startup hard disk!

    I was wondering if the hidden partition that toshiba use for its "express media player", has nothing to do with helping start the laptop cdrom/lan as well!

    Otherwise, no idea why I can't boot from them?
    I'm really worried how to fix my laptop, should I have to re - install any OS!

    Hello

    First of all, you have installed Linux on the unit and Toshiba doesn't support this OS.
    Toshiba delivered and designed only with a Microsoft Windows operating system.
    I don't know if your question has anything to do with LINUX on your laptop but if the function m worked with the Windows operating system, so it must be a Linux question.

  • Aspire R disable secure boot

    My VPN provider requires the version 5 Cisco VPN Client.  The VPN client installs a unsigned kernel mode driver.  The UEFI boot system uses Secure Boot, requiring signed kernel-mode drivers.

    When I go through the initialization (non secure/non-UEFI) legacy, she prays for a USB dongle, I did not.

    What should I do to start inherited from the SSD hard drive?

    After I have legacy-boot, I need the old acer drivers?  Those who?  Where can I download them?

    After I have legacy-boot, I need to reinstall soundcards 10?  How the hell can I do that?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If you just need to install an unsigned driver, you don't need legacy or disable startup secure; Just disable windows application signed drivers.

  • My office wouldn't boot and I received a S.M.A.R.T. message that told me that the hard drive was bad. I changed the hard drive, but it is always the same. It is running windows zp.

    My desktop computer running windows xp. It begins to start but stops and keeps trying to start. It does not start in safe mode or any other mode. I have mfoundm a message that says S.M.A.R.T. and told me that my hard drive was bad. I replaced the drive hard drive with another drive that has been loaded with xp but it stil is.

    I think that the answer to the replacement hard drive is in your question.

    I replaced the drive hard drive with another drive that has been loaded with xp but it stil is.

    You can not take a hard drive that was in another computer when the Windows installation, place it in another computer and boot from it. You will get a boot loop. It will start to load Windows then suddenly, re - start. This will be repeated again and again. You must install Windows on the disk hard while it is in the computer that you intend to use it with.

  • Aspire One stuck in boot loop eRecovery. Stuck reboot Acer "Pls wait the moment" scrn

    I need to stop the boot netbook in eRecovery.  I just want to start Windows.

    I can get into BIOS and boot from the XP software CD.

    I tried to repair and reinstall, but every restart remains stuck in the loop to start eRecovery - screen Win XP, then black start Acer eRecovery and Acer screen screen "Please wait a moment..." ", then restarts - back in the same loop - aqua color forever... I searched the Internet for solutions and found nothing.

    I just want to stop eRecovery and restart windows, the files are still there.

    You can try to use a program called PTEDIT.

    you need a floppy disk bootable with her BACK on.

    Start in PTEDIT and set the second partition bootable (change the second colum to 80) and the type 07

    Change the types of the first and the third partition to format BACK not as OC.

    I don't remember the exact type that must be configured so it can stop work to restore function.

  • PC wouldn't boot - beeps - can any forum members please help?

    Hello

    I have an PcPwhich will not boot and just emits a series of beeps. I contacted HP support, but they are not helping because it is out of warranty. The members of the forum you will suggest how to proceed...

    product_name: HP Pavilion Media Center TV m7475.uk, a desktop PC Bundle
    PART_NUMBER: EV989AA
    operating system: Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition
    description of the problem: when I turn on the computer it does not start and emits continuous about 3 second beeps separated by approximately 2 second gaps.
    The motherboard has AWARD BIOS.
    I looked at the beep codes for the BIOS on the HP site that says
    Continuous beep without pause = serious related problem of the system such as overheating of the CPU.
    It is not clear if this meens a continuous beep or an endless series of beeps.
    I looked inside of the case and the fins under the processor fan are very clogged with dust and lint, upward which means that the airflow to the CPU has been very poor.
    What are these beeps indicating?
    What is the overheating of the CPU?
    The CPU is likely to be damaged?
    The motherboard has a certain type of cutting to protect the CPU overheating?
    If I remove the cooler, clean mud, clean the old thermal paste and replace the cooler new thermal paste, what might solve the problem?
    Is there anything else that could cause this and how to solve it?

    Hello

    Hi thanks for the reply.

    It looks like the web page I've seen.

    I cleaned the fins of the cooler and reassembled the heatsink on the processor with the new thermal paste, but the machine is still there as before beep.

    I tested the power supply with a Maplin PSU tester.

    All voltages are within the tolerance but the Power Good signal appears in the form 00ms and the tester flags this up as a fault.

    The leaflet said that the PG should be between 100-900ms.

    Could be the cause of the problem?

    Unfortunately I do ' t have a spare PSU to test the computer with.

    I'm not sure what good the signal power is supposed to do. I tried a web search, but I found no good explanations.

    See you soon

    Tony

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but your Maplin power supply Tester is pretty much worthless. It only said the advertising.

    Unplug the power connector on the PSU.  Remove and then reinstall the memory modules. Give each module in the same slot DIMM you removed since.  Connect the power connector to the power supply and press the power button to see if it will boot into Windows.

    Please post your results.

    Kind regards
