Iomega HSM stall shortly after startup

I have an Iomega 1 TB Hsm working successfully on my network 2 PC for at least 4 years. Mainly I access it from my Windows 7 PC. It is mainly used for the backup.

Normally it appears in Windows Explorer as distinct from 5 or 6-drive external, indicating each the same maximum and storage used.

Today a bunch of afterinitial time, all "readers" has disappeared from Windows Explorer and all other list file/folder. All that remained was a record called 'Photos' displayed in the network category.

I tried to restart the HSM and found that the power button had no effect, so I simply had to pull on the power cord. The HSM exploded, like the white LED. When I plugged back it it after a few minutes, the blue LED still did not come. Then I restarted the PC and everything is back to normal - for a short period.

I did this procedure several times during the day, with the same result each time - normality for a few minutes then failed.

Tonight I looked with that community site and found a response on May 11, 2013, a similar problem by bshadid.

  1. I followed the first stage of the response by directly connecting the HSM to my PC and without going through the router. I turned on both devices, but has seen no sign explicit of the HSM startup. Nor did he ask me for an APiPA address. All 5 or 6 "readers" will appear in Windows Explorer without any specific action from me.
  2. However, I used the arp-a command Windows twice or more to get what I assumed to be the APiPA address you want - 00-d0-b8-09-dc-84
  3. When I tried to use this address in Internet Explorer to access the HSM, it was rejected.
  4. Hoping that I had healed but the problem, I reconnected the HSM and PC separately to the router and restarted both. NOT GOOD!

The only thing I've ever done is update the driver for the HSM, even if I'm working on Windows 7, while the HSM seems to date from the time of Windows XP. I dared not do this because update instructions warn against the danger of losing files to update, and I have nowhere to save data outside the HSM itself!

Another possibility, I thought, is that the partition (?) backups of the HSM could have a limitation of the size that has now been exceeded. But Windows does not give me access to this information.

Most important developments since I posted my question:

It's clearly a hardware failure: there is shortly after the restart of the HSM, a clicking sound coming from the unit, and 5 out of the 6 'readers' disappear again in Windows Explorer.
I'm going to buy a new device and I hope as the old one remains alive long enough for me copy at least the most important of the old data.

  • Having a problem with Windows Live Mail lock up shortly after the start.

    Having a problem with Windows Live Mail lock up shortly after the start. When I start the Task Manager to end the process, it sometimes freezes and the only way to solve the problem is to disconnect which forces the profile to close. Assuming a corrupted profile, I followed the instructions of Windows support to fix a corrupted profile and copied all the files except ntuser.*. When I try to paste them into the new user profile (all profiles are admins), I get the error message asking if I want to leave to proceed. When I click on continue, all THE files in the profile block "corrupt" to the new one, including ntuser.*, that I was not choosing. Why? If the files are rewritten empty? Tried 3 times, same result. Please notify.

    I think I found it! I went in the Windows Live Forum and found a thread that looked like my problem. He suggested going to msconfig and take off Live Mail list start. I couldn't find it on the list, but the top element was "" default EXE"something of an unknown manufacturer. I took it out of the startup list, and Live Mail works again! Thanks for your help!

  • The Alienware 14 laptop fan after startup noise

    Hi I was wondering if anyone else has suffered from this problem.  Recently around 2/11 ~ 12/02/2015, I noticed that the fan in my Alienware 14 would become really strong about a minute or two after startup.  This would be accompanied to the Alienware keyboard and touchpad lighting.  It only lasts a few seconds and the fan and light back to normal for the rest of the time I use it, even if it is several hours or more.  I think the same happens shortly after waking from sleep, but I'm not sure.

    I cleaned the vents to the best of my ability to compressed air, update the BIOS to A09 (latest version) and update the graphics drivers Nvidia Geforce 750 M and Intel HD 4600 graphics card.  I also ran full scan of the system AVG 2015 and not confirmed any virus/malware.  Also checked the task at Startup Manager to see if any unusual process have been the cause and find nothing unusual.  I also used the restoration of the system to a point before that I noticed something (2/10), and the noise of the fan always popped up.

    Attempted to run Dell Diagnostics and support help, but they have not found any problems.  Interesting note - when executing the analysis of their system to see if my drivers are required to update, it says that I need to download the BIOS A09 exe even though I already A09.

    Use Tech Support Chat or by e-mail, but 14 Alienware is apparently not one of the products covered by them.

    Thanks a bunch!

    My laptop screen is blackened or shaded, but to work. Something is darkening up shortly after departure. What should I do?

    The backlight that run on the screen is burned.  This isn't something that you can fix because it involves disassembly of the computer and parts are not generally available.  It's a hardware problem.  You need to take your computer to a repair store to fix this problem.  If the computer is in power saving mode, that there is no display at all, shines a flashlight on it would reveal a slightly glossy, empty, black screen.

  • General failure on Ping and TraceRT by WAN IP for 15 minutes after startup

    My Windows 7 64 of Profession will expose this problem.

    After startup, it cannot access anything whatsoever outside the local network.  I can ping, DRC and usually access anything whatsoever on the local network, including the router.  But trying to access what anyone outside the LAN does not work.

    Ping Returns the Timeout on the first response, and then general of failure for the other three.

    Tracert immediately returns a general failure

    I am ping IP address, no domain name, is not a DNS problem.

    After 15 minutes or, the problem resolves, and starting the machine works fine.

    Occasionally (once a day or more), it will return to the problem of General failure for 15 minutes, then return to normal.

    The problem does not occur in safe mode with network.

    The problem occurs whether the user is logged on the machine.

    I have disabled the Windows Firewall to try to resolve, without success.

    I also installed McAfee.

    Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.

    I would start by removing McAfee and using MSE at least to test.  You can not just disable McAfee, it should be removed and he is known for this type of problem.

    McAffe often contributes to BSOD

    I remove and replace it with Microsoft Security Essentials

  • laptop stops shortly after the start, but works well in safe mode / command after chkdk or ckdsk/r

    Problem 1: There are months, my two year old Toshiba Satellite L655 s5096 started losing charge the battery even when it is plugged.
    Sometimes, the problem was solved by using a different wall outlet. I replaced the battery, but eventually the problem comes back.

    Problem 2: at the same time that the problems loading starts, Windows has stopped booting normally. Sometimes repair or restoration leads to a normal start, but sometimes I run Chkdsk/r (Chkdsk sometimes the only works [!]) Mode through safe mode w/Command Prompt.

    Problem 3: There are two days of problems 1 and 2 reappeared, but a few minutes after that Windows starts, my machine stops, even if I am able to run Wndows in Mode safe mode w/network.

    I am correct in surmising that this isn't a motherboard (hardware) problem? I don't really want to have to replace this machine if I don't have to. Is this a Windows problem? Upgrade to Windows 8 would solve the problem? Or is it the result of the virus that escaped my Avast scans?

    I'll install Windows 8 when I checked my automatic online data storage works.

    Hi Denise,

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community forum.

    I understand that the computer shuts down shortly after starting. I'll help you with this problem.

    1. what security software is installed?

    2. are you sure the workload problem is not limited to a faulty wall unit?

    3. have you checked with the manufacturer of the computer if it is not a battery problem?

    To resolve this issue, let us try these methods:

    Method 1.

    You can create a new power plan and check if that helps.

    Power plans: frequently asked questions: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ca/windows7/power-plans-frequently-asked-questions

    Method 2.

    Keep the battery power: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ca/windows7/conserving-battery-power

    Method 3.

    You can remove the battery and connect the power cable from the wall cabinet and check. If the computer does not stop after the restart, then it might be a problem with the battery.

    For any question related to Windows, please do not hesitate to contact us and we will be happy to help you.
