Can not start my old Satelite A100-168 or enter the BIOS settings

Hi all

My problem and simple to explain:
When I turn on my laptop, it's as if it was on, but nothing happens.
The HARD drive led is not active.
It is also impossible to go into the BIOS settings. The ESC key does not work.
Everything is black.
I tried to put a boot disk, but nothing happens.

So is - anyone help me?

Thanks in advance

From my point of view of the defective material, any party may cause the described problem.
Even only one defective memory card could prevent the laptop to boot the system.
Of course, also the dysfunction of the BIOS EPROM module would prevent execution of the power on self test and ultimately, it would mean that laptop may not illuminate correctly.

I think that there is no general solution... parts must be checked; one by one.
In the worst case, there is a motherboard problem and I think that in this case it s not worth to fix the unit because of the high cost of motherboard.

  • Can not enter the BIOS settings

    Hello. I can't enter the Bios on z580 with 8.1 windows settings. I tried everything, including now shift with bios stop and accsesing under windows, nothing seems to work and windows strarts just straight up normally. Also, I can't update to solve this problem. I hope someone can help.

    Thanks for confirming.

    In your post original, you said 'change of outfit with the judgment', so I wanted to be sure that you try SHIFT-restart.

    Have you tried to stop completely and pressing the button "novo" (a recovery key). On my Win8.1 Yoga 2 Pro, that brings up a menu containing several elements, which is the BIOS Setup.

    Kind regards.

  • Windows Vista does not start to change from IDE to AHCI in the BIOS

    Hi, I spent a lot of time to look at this problem online. I can't find a lot of google search results and they seem to say enter REGEDIT and change the "msahci" start to 0 and even the 'pciide', or 'iaStorV' start parameters to 0. But this does not work for me. The loading Windows with the loading bar screen Green just continues to go wrong and never Windows startup. I have Windows Vista Home Basic Edition.

    I saw someone in this forum with a similar problem but they have upgraded to Win7 on a new installation to fix the problem, they spend on AHCI RAID. I contacted Intel technical support and they said to try HP or the manufacturer of the motherboard. I contacted Intel because I installed a 520 Intel Solid State Drive series and wanted to know if they had a driver to get the benefit of the AHCI instead of the IDE. I know that a lot of people recommend a new installation of Windows, but I don't have a Windows cd with this computer (my computer is here: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00835809 )

    I tried to install this Microsoft fix too. http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/922976

    I wonder if there is an AHCI driver, can I install it or what I can do to get the job of AHCI?

    Thanks to anyone who can help!

    I suggested that you create disks because you said that the computer came with any one and you could not re - install Windows as suggested a possible solution. With these records, you can the recovery of the system back to a factory State. Since you want to install a SSD or change a BIOS setting, these are the changes which can damage the system and require the use of recovery disks.

    If you want a Windows Vista 'clean' no HP Setup, please see Paul's response in this thread of the forum called "System Restore not working not not for HP Media Center Desktop PC. According to his instructions is expected to create a bootable Windows Vista installation disc. My only amendment to this method, is not to use the product key Microsoft Windows Vista on the COA on the side of your computer. Instead, I would like to "Save" the product key from factory OEM HP and HP OEM certificate using ' the Activation, backup and restore ' then 'restore' the certificate and the key to the new clean install of Vista. This will result in an installation clean factory activated that does not require Microsoft to activate. Be aware that the software HP added value will no longer be on your computer. If you want to use this software, you MUST create your personal HP recovery disks and copy the "SWSETUP" folder on your current installation of factory to an external support.

    Re-install Windows Vista, as shown above with the SATA BIOS settings set on AHCI you like will work 100% of the time. It should also install to SSDs, where HP recovery discs are known to fail.

    Hello Derek

    Use the F2 key to enter the BIOS settings and change the order of boot devices. This option is under the STARTUP tab. Otherwise, you can insert the recovery CD when the unit is turned OFF. Turn it on and immediately press the C button. keep it down for a few seconds and unit is forced from the CD/DVD drive.

  • Vista: The device can not start (error Code 10) for a USB CDC device which works fine in XP

    I have a USB device 2.0 DCC which works very well under all of our Windows XP machines, but not based on Vista.  The device uses the usbser.sys driver and emulation of the virtual Comm Port.

    The text of the listing shows the same information on Xp and Vista, except under vista it shows no open pipes.  Shows Device Manager: device can not start (error Code 10).

    Using Vista I can't connect to the vista of CDC through concentrators or device to any other device wireless hub except for a Dlink Wireless hub, which has a layer of software between the CDC device and the PC.  With Xp, it all works very well on more than one PC, with Vista, there are questions.  I use the INF manufacturer provided for Vista, still no results.

    Any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated.

  • I have age of empires 3 and I can not start the program.

    The program is installed, but once the autorun.exe appears (with the icons of the game, uninstall, website, out) I click on play and the game does not just start. My computing needs are fairly good for the game because I used to play the game on the same computer later.

    Bink is what plays the scenes cut in many games.

    Installation folder of AOE 3 the binkw32.dll should be in games.
    If it is then it is may be damaged and reinstall the game normally would set the
    problem.

    AutoPatcher.exe - I do not know because I never use auto-patchers with games.
    I have always to download the patch and install manually.
    However, my game has the RockallDLL.dll file.

    I don't really know a good site to lead you to these files.
    You can find a binkw32.dll in another game. Try doing a search of
    Program Files (x 86) (or another location if you install games to the default locations). If you have the file in another game you can copy into your AOE3
    folder of the master installation.

    There was a lot of discussion on these forums about AOE3 so a
    search of these forums may find another suggestion.
    You can also try the specific AOE3 forums-
