Computer Dell laptop does not start

Was an upgrade and lost power or connectivity during the upgrade
now my laptop will not boot.

Is there a way to return to a previous start-up and it stand up, so I'm able
use and restore updates.

Looks like the partition is damaged. I fear that even a repair check does not work, the best that we can suggest is reinstalling new windows.

  • My Dell laptop does not start

    I have my older Dell laptop which stop the other day and I thought that the battery had just missed completely, plugged in left to load and when I got home it turns any. New laptop for my son has had this problem and tech support had me press and repeatly F key and I think that either press and hold the power button or press the key and let go? I wanted to try this with my laptop but can not remember what F key or the thing with the power button. Help please, hoping that he disappeared were ongoing work and family top photos.

    Thank you

    Hi Appieloosa,

    I suggest you follow the steps below, first to release any static power in the laptop which may cause this problem:

    1. remove the battery and the laptop AC adapter.
    2. press and hold the Power button for 20 seconds and release.
    3 reconnect the battery, AC adapter, and then press the power button.
    4. the laptop must turn if static is the cause.

    You can press the "Fn" key and the "Power" button to run the hardware diagnostics if the laptop does not power on after following the steps above.

    Please let me know your results.

  • Computer Toshiba laptop does not start after trying to install SP2 for vista 32 bit

    Tried to install SP2 for vista updates, it stagnates at 12%, message saying a problem has been detected and windows has been closed to protect the computer. At the bottom of the error message screen, it reads, technical info-stop OXOOOOC1F5. Windows doesn't start at all now, has tried running safe mode, pilots seem to load, then it returns to the screen error message with the same problem said. Nothing seems to work, tried same recovery disk came with the computer, it says it is loading files, then it returns also to error message screen. Computer came with vista pre-installed, so I don't have this drive to try. Someone at - it solutions? Very frustrating, how do I search problem when the computer will not start at all? Help!

    Follow the info below to try 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.

    If yours falls into 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.

  • Computer Dell laptop does not light

    I have a Dell inspiron 15, that does not illuminate. I tried to take out the battery and pressing the power for 30 seconds, did not help. Called customer service, they said maybe the motherboard, but they don't have any that match my laptop and the warranty is expired.

    Any other suggestions? Thank you

  • Pavilion dv6: computer HP pavilion laptop does not start and I do not see the screen because it's broken

    I have the HP pavilion computer laptop windows 7 and I broke the screen about a year, I can't see the start menus. I have been using an external monitor and it has always worked well, but now I can't see how to fix my computer to boot.  I did a hard boot but nothing happened, and with a broken screen, I can't see any of my options on how to fix it.  It does not start.  Looks like it is, but because I don't see the menu F8 or Boot, I can't call themselves that the screen can be done.  Help, please.

    Hello @SPKaler,

    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums, I would like to draw your attention to the HP Forums Guide first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

    I read your post on the issue with the laptop won't start does not and wanted to help you!  I understand that the screen is damaged and you are using the external monitor to view the screen.  However, now that the laptop does not start, you can see is more of the external screen to see what is happening.

    From my understanding, you should not be able to see an image on the external monitor, until you start the operating system.  You can try to perform a system restore by using this document:

    HP computers - performing a recovery of system HP (Windows 7)

    You may be able to follow along, long enough until the image is displayed on the external monitor.  Otherwise, you can contact HP support by phone, for additional options.

  • My laptop does not start after cleaning

    Hello
    I knew an overheating problem on my laptop.
    I therefore decided to remove a processor heat sink and empty dust. It was released with processor...
    There was a huge load of dust, so I cleaned it, put new thermal paste...

    Now computer laptop does not start loading Windows.
    It checks only the CD, HARD disk, and that's it.
    Screen is blank, ON the indicator led is on.
    Two fans periodically start to turn (when they stop radiator heat - so the processor works)

    Where is the problem?

    Thank you

    Hi Dubas,
    You can access the BIOS when you try to start your laptop? This can give you a clue as to why the OS will not charge.

    Your hard drive is failing, fast (these things last forever). You need to replace as soon as POSSIBLE. If you have important data on what cannot be replaced I suggest you plug it into another computer as an external drive and pulling all the data you need it off.

    If you do not have the possibility to connect the drive directly on another PC, you can download a live Linux CD/USB.

    Step 1: Acquire a blank CD or USB. If you use a USB port, format it in FAT32.

    Step 2: Insert your chosen in your PC Backup media.

    Step 3: Download Unetbootin.

    Step 4: Select a distribution in the drop-down list. Just about anything will work, but for your application, I would recommend "Puppy Linux".

    Step 5: Select your media.

    Step 6: Once Unetbootin is complete, insert your media in the PC is installed on the corrupted hard drive.

    Step 7: Boot puppy. (You may need to select your Flash DRIVE or a CD in your BIOS)

    Step 8: The use of the included file manager, mount the hard drive and browse for the files you need. You can then save these on another DRIVE or a CD drive, or the internet.

    Hello

    If you do not, use another PC to create a Windows 7 repair CD.  Download the ISO from the link below.

    Windows 7 64 bit

    You must use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO to a CD ( Note: you can deselect additional software during installation of ImgBurn options)- hereis a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc.

    One time created, or if you already have this, typing away at the esc key when you launch Notepad to open the Start Menu.  Insert the CD to repair.  Select boot options ( f9 ), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER.  You can also get a prompt to "Press any key to" continuous - it if requested.

    When loading, select repair your computer and choose the command line.  When this charge, enter the following commands and press on enter after everyone – including spaces as shown.

    Bootrec.exe

    bcdedit/export C:\BCD_Backup

    c:

    Boot CD

    BCD attrib s h - r

    Hello

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

    According to the description of the problem you are facing problems with your Windows 7 computer. The question might be if there is a file system corruption. Then I suggest you to perform auto repair. For the execution of the task, I suggest you to try the steps below and see if it helps.

    Method 1:

    When you use the recovery environment (Windows RE) to troubleshoot startup issues, first try the Startup Repair option in the System Recovery Options dialog box. If this does not resolve the problem, or if you have additional problems manually, use the Bootrec.exe tool.

    Because you cannot start the computer, you may need to create a bootable Windows installation media, and then do an auto repair.

    If you are using Windows 7 then the link provided below might help you to download and create installation media.

    Download Windows 7 Disk Images (ISO files)

    Method 2

    Try to rebuild the BCD by using the Bootrec.exe tool.

    To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start Windows RE. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Place the Windows 7 installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.

    2. Press a key when you are prompted. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.

    3. Click repair your computer.

    4. Click the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.

    5. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt.

    6. Type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.

    See the following link for more information:

    How to use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows recovery environment to troubleshoot and repair startup issues in Windows
