  • Satellite Pro L450D black screen and will not respond to any keys

    Hello

    My niece has used his Toshiba L450D for almost a year now and he really liked it, who was until last month. She turned on her laptop and when she presses the button of the mouse, the button cracked and he fell into the laptop.

    Now my brother contacted Toshiba and I was told because it is under warranty it might return for repair because it was a common fault. Then he he packed in loads of air bubbles and a box to make sure it was safe.

    A few weeks later he came back repaired but we were all shocked that the laptop was put in a very loose box and you could hear this rattling noise. When we turned on the battery was flat and we had a new boot menu.

    As she installed it Windows 7 laptop would boot directly into Windows 7, but now after the repair of the laptop shows a menu black screen with as follows:

    + Windows 7 +.
    + Recover Windows to Factory Settings [active EMS] +.

    So we started in Windows and everything went well, but now after 5 or 10 or even 20 minutes, laptop displays a black screen and will not respond to keys or mouse movement. There is nothing on the screen its just black.

    I started in SafeMode (which was more difficult with the new menu) and it does the same thing. I even managed to do a virus scan quick who took 3-4 minutes and was clean.

    I would like some advice on what my niece is very angry, and it's difficult to explain what is happening to a child in the primary school.

    Any help would be grateful.

    I hope it will work!

  • When getting started, my computer is slow and unresponsive?

    For the last two or three days, I noticed that my computer is very slow and unresponsive. None of the programs that I click on will open and usually everything will freeze if I press what either. When I put my computer in Mode safe mode (with networking), everything seems to work very well. When in Mode safe, everything I click actually works, but it seems that it's not when I start my computer using the option "Start Windows normally". I have a laptop that is currently running on Windows 7. Anyone happen to know how I can fix this problem? Can what steps I take to fix my laptop? I also tried searching for virus and so far it is said that my computer is fine and has no virus. I used CCleaner (Pro) to "clean" my computer and my computer still seems slow, unresponsive and freezes quiet a bit. I also system restore my computer to an earlier time, but it is still giving me the problem slow, freezing and not responding like it.

  • MacBook Pro: Integrated keyboard and mouse not responding pluse

    I have a MacBook Pro 13 ", early 2015, installed with OS X 10.11.4.

    I use it mainly to work, with the screen closed, an external display (via Thunderport) and an Apple and change Vertical Mouse 4 - times connected via Bluetooth wireless keyboard.

    Before I get home, I open the screen, disconnect the power cord and power cord screen Thunderbolt and then close it. I leave the keyboard and Bluetooth mouse on as I leave the office.

    It works normally, but yesterday my Mac kept looking for Bluetooth devices home and would not respond to the built-in keyboard and mouse (with the exception of the switch when maintained supported 10 seconds for a forced stop). Reboot doesn't change anything and I tried to reboot with the disk (Cmd + R) utility or reset the NVRAM (Cmd + Option + P + R) and the keys did nothing. Reset SMC (Shift + Ctrl + Option + power) does not seem to do anything either.

    When I connected a keyboard Apple USB C, the keys have been recorded, but it would still find a missing mouse and go anywhere else than the screen "You are looking for a Bluetooth mouse".

    Back at work today, everything works: built-in and Bluetooth devices.

    Any suggestions?

    Update: the built-in keyboard and trackpad now don't work at all, even when Bluetooth devices are connected.
