Lenovo ThinkPad won't start

Hello, I'm having a problem with my Lenovo ThinkPad T520 running Windows 7 Professional 64 - Bit. It has a processor Intel Core i5 vPro 4 GB of RAM and a 500 GB HARD drive. It worked fine up until this point. Here is what happened.  It started when I was surfing the web tonight and it froze. I could not click on the 'X' button, use Alt + F4 or Ctrl + Alt + Delete. So I decided for a difficult start. I pressed the power button until it stopped. When I start again, it froze on the Windows splash screen. I waited for about five to ten minutes and started hard again. This time he asked me which option to start, I wanted to use. Start Windows normally or something like return on error. I tried the error recovery option but it was without result. I started again and it froze again. She is still ongoing now. Need help, tell me what I need to do. I hope it has nothing to do with the material because the PC belongs to my work. >_

Regardless of the fact that he belongs to my work, I am a system administrator.

You are a system administrator of employment in question of title?  If so, you must solve the problem.  :-)  Or you are just an administrator on the system in question?  Having administrative rights does not make you a sysadmin by title.  * smile *.
 
No offense meant, but the wording of your question was more like an end user explaining what a system administrator explaining.
 
You can start safe mode?  If so - how does it work?  You can start using the safe mode with networking?  If so - how it works in this mode?
  
So you're saying that nothing has changed between her works and does not other than gel?  No updates, no new hardware or software installed, etc.?
 
Have you tried to use the system restore to go back to a point before the system had problems?
 
Can you use a Ubuntu boot CD and run it from the CD player to see if the machine starts like that and be usable?
 
You have the media/method of system recovery in mind and you have a backup of the data, you might need the machine (or a method in place, if you are a system administrator, in order to safeguard a complete system so that you can extract data from such backup after a recovery?)

  • Yoga: S1 ThinkPad won't start, only the light flashes three times.

    So I just bought a refurbished Thinkpad Yoga and everything was great for a little while. So I decided to stop it and put it aside for a few minutes. After coming back, he now refuses to even POST. I tried each power cycle I could think of, in various combinations and traveled several forums. At the end of the day, I have no functional solution.

    Current situation:

    System responds in any way other that 'i' (in the Thinkpad logo) light flashes three times when the charger is connected, or even when you press the reset button while the charger is plugged. Another illicits nothing any kind of beep, light, or otherwise.

    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you and best regards.

    I have the feeling that you had opened the back cover of tinkering with components (whether a change of SSD or the modem 3g / 4g).

    the symptoms you described sounds exactly like a cut cable MB. You can try opening the hood back and on the left side, you will see a wire labeled "MB". tighten, and the computer should fit now.

    Original title: Lenovo SL500 Windows Vista crashed with STOP error message and won't start

    Hello peoples,
    I just installed an iMicro Bluetooth adapter on my computer, and then I wanted to restart my computer. When I turned it on, loading like regular until right after the Vista loading screen, when the Blue Screen of Death (a blue screen with an error on this subject) flashed for about 1/2 second and then restarted my computer. Then he asked me if I wanted to load startup repair or simply start WIndows normally and I chose to start WIndows normally, but it's the same thing, so when the computer is restarted again, I chose the Startup Repair. He said that if I inserted an external device in my computer for me to remove it. But I had no external devices in my computer at the same time! I already pulled the iMicro adapter! So when my computer restarted again, I pressed the button Lenovo Care and charge of Lenovo Rescue and Recovery 4. (This is where I am now, typing away in the Opera browser.) I tried to find help, but could not find anythign useful so far. I installed for many drivers, updates, patches, etc. But none have anything to remove the blue screen of death. Now, after 7 hours, I really frustrated, and this is my last hope! (I don't want to save my hard drive and reinstall, because I paid more than 250 applications and more than 270 free programs on my computer! Of more, more than 350 iPad apps, of which a few are paid! Oh and 700 iBooks!)
    Help, please! I'm really desperate right now, and any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks in advance!

    PS I run Windows Vista Home Basic SP2 (I think) on a Lenovo ThinkPad SL500 (NOT SL500c!)

    PPS Lenovo all computers have this Lenovo Rescue Recovery 4, which is like an operating system of its own. It has a browser that you can install updates and other things. Right now I use Rescue and Recovery. Thanks again in advance and please answer my question! I had this problem for a week and I'm in school tomorrow! Thanks again!

    EDIT: The error message went like this:

    A problem has been detected and Windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

    If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

    Check for viruses on your computer. Remove the hard drives newly installed on the hard disk controllers. Check your hard drive to ensure that it is configured and completed proeprly. Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer.

    Original title: right click on the mouse itself activating

    I borrowed a USB to a person at work and I started having problems with the wireless mouse and the carpet of my laptop - Lenovo ThinkPad T420 mouse. The left click of two devices works normally, however, sometimes she does not respond to clicks and it takes a few seconds to work. The left button was constantly starts to turn on, as if he was stuck. After that I hit Alt + Tab and modify windows it stops for a few moments and starts at a later date. I havo not found a specific condition or a combination of keys that may trigger the fault.

    I read a few posts on discussion forums, but all say that it could be a hardware problem, which I think is not, because both devices have the same problem and I'm sure it all started with the insertion of the borrowed memory stick. I scanned the readers to help Symantec's EndPoint Protection and installed Microsoft Security Essentials and performed a full scan, but found nothing. I even restored the system, but the problem remains.

    Should I get a different antivirus? How can I find the cause so I can find a better targeted solution?

    Mod edit: System model added to the front of the subject line to improve visibility / clarity.

    I suspect that your HARD drive has a problem, generally, it's like that, it won't start if the HARD drive was fried on you, try a key recovery to restore as long as day 1. Otherwise, buy a slap of casing 2.5 drive your hard drive inside, save the files after reinstall windows 8 or make the one key recovery.

  • Lenovo ThinkPad X 230 Expresscard support

    I have a Lenovo ThinkPad X 230 (which I love dearly) and have a few question on ports and the boot.  I want to first make sure that the port on the left side of the laptop directly above one of the USB ports is indeed an ExpressCard 54.  I searched the web, but have not yet find a definitive answer, and my user manual simply said "ExpressCard."  In addition, I would like to know if it is possible to start an operating system from said port using a SSD ExpressCard 34 (64 GB) Player.  I intend to install openSUSE 12.3 for the potential SSD and be able to boot from it.  I appreciate a lot of help.  I post a picture of said opening, but told me that the image file is too much.

    Yes, this slot is indeed for the Expresscard and no, unfortunately you cannot start it.

  • Problem installing Windows 7 on Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 13 665D817

    Hello

    I have a Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 13 665D817 without an operating system and be able to install Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (msdnaa version). I actually had the Thinkpad even before and managed to install Windows 7 withouth any problems.

    After starting from the USB stick during installation without hard drive is located. To this end, I insert a second usb key with drivers for AMD AHCI Controller Device Driver for Windows 7 and select the directory of win7 64 bit. A driver to install is offered, but after installing it, it seems as if nothing happened. No disk is detected, and I can't continue the installation.

    thx for the help

    (by the way, the proposed here spell check does not recognize "Lenovo" - * lol *)

    I saw this happen occasionally during installation via the USB port. In my experience, it is when a USB 3.0 or eSATA/USB combo port is present. It does not occur if start you it from a Windows existing, nor happens during the installation of optical media.

    There is something that includes ImageX that you can use to install Windows, but that gets a little complicated.

  • Cannot get Plantronics bluetooth headset appears as reading or a recorder in Panel - > sound in Windows 7 with Lenovo ThinkPad

    I installed a Plantronics Voyager legend UC bluetooth headset to my work provided Lenovo ThinkPad laptop computer running Windows 7. The helmet looks like a device in the Panel--> devices and printers. However, it does not show as a device in the control--> tabs sound playback Panel or registration.  I need the headset to the playback device for my work-VoIP phone.

    I tried to remove the helmet and reinstall, but I can't delete it in the Panel--> devices and printers. When I locate and right click, remove or uninstall is not an option. I went to the control panel--> Manager--> audio video devices and game controllers, which are there and uninstalled. I then unplugged the connector of the headset, and the headset powered off and rebooted. I then plugged the connector UBS back in and turned the headset. The PC began to reinstall the drivers, but the headphones still did not appear in the sound tabs.

    I have been all over the internet trying to find a solution to this problem and so far have not been successful. I spent hours on this and it shouldn't be so hard, but it turns out be. I appreciate any help you can provide.

    Thank you!

    Thanks for your reply Mann. Here's the answer to your questons.

    1. Were you able to use this helmet earlier on this computer? Answer: Yes, it didn't work and appeared in the reading tabs and the recording of sounds. However, I accidentally deleted it--> sound when I was trying to troubleshoot why I couldn't hear the narration in the course of eLearing played on our intranet via the headphones. I only meant to change the settings so that I could make the speaker/HP the default device. BIG MISTAKE because now I can't get it to reinstall and appear in the tabs of playback and recording.
    2. Have you checked to connect the headset to any other computer, it works on other computers? Answer: The only other computer I have is an Apple MacBook Pro. I plugged the USB connector to the PC and seem to work although I can't do a one-to-one comparison.
    3. You said that Windows has started to install drivers automatically after connecting the headset and the computer restarted after the removal of noise, the video controller and game, was the driver installed successfully? Answer: Yes, but it just does not appear not liked as an option in the tabs of playback or recording.
    4. Other audio devices work fine on this computer? The only other device is the computer speakers and they work fine.

    Regarding method 1. I had already installed and run the file MicrosoftFixit.Devices.exe that you provided even if I ran again and this has not fixed the problem.

    With respect to method 2. I checked and show disabled devices is checked. The only other devices in playback and recording are speakers/HP and Realtek HD Audio Output 2.

    UPDATE! I removed the USB of the headphone connector and plugged into the MAC, and then removed the Mac and plugged into the PC, that is! The helmet now presents itself as an option in the tabs of the reading and recording. Yes! I was able to select it and set as device by default, tested the VoIP phone and it works all! Phew! I was about to give up on the VoIP phone. Thank you.

  • Problem with Windows Update after the new installation of Windows 7 Pro the Lenovo ThinkPad X 200

    I'm trying to do a fresh install of Windows 7 Pro on a Lenovo ThinkPad X 200. The product key is easy to find on the sticker of the ThinkPad. However, the version of Windows is hidden (for example, I can't check that my ThinkPad had originally installed Windows 7 Pro). I was able to install by using a Pro Win 7 SP1 CD ROM I bought for another installation. I used the ThinkPad I was trying to make the new facility on the product key. I was able to activate the Windows 7 Pro using the phone call and my cell phone. I checked the activation! However, I have problems with Windows update. The product key may be a different version of Windows 7. If so, why did it install and activate OK? Y at - it a fix for this problem or I have to buy a new version of Windows 7 Pro? Please note that I have not yet installed all drivers Lenovo ThinkPad as I can't seem to install correctly. Thank you!

    Since the issue is updated to Windows, it is not a product number key.

    You can reset the Windows Update components by running the Fixit on this page. But if there is malware present, she will continue to reset the connection to the update servers:

    How to reset the Windows Update components

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058

    Suggest you download and save the Fixit. Then configure the system before the clean boot by running:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Once the Fixit has been downloaded and the system is started in the pure State, check that the native Windows Firewall is now on if a 3rd party firewall has been used previously. Now run the Fixit and choose the default mode. Restart once it's done and see if the system can be connected to the update servers. If he can't, then rerun the Fixit and choose aggressive mode. Turn it back on when he finished the race and updates.

  • Battery Lenovo Thinkpad Edge 13 (0217) problem

    Hello guys,.

    Because I couldn't find a solution for my problem, I decided to write here, hoping that someone (by a team from Lenovo or users) have the same problem and therefore can help me.

    I have a Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 13 model (version 0217). (I bought from a friend, because he didn't deliver more when I decided to buy it.)

    I have problems with my battery. The design of this capacity is 62.12 Wh, I used it wisely, so it was not always charged to 100%. I always unload down around 5-7% and then plug the power adapter. (See image).

    My first problem is that during the last 3 months, the capacity is down to 45,88 Wh and I can't really understand why. This can be a generic problem with the battery?

    My second problem is - for which I found another topic here, but it did not help me - that when I charge the battery, stops at 99% of load, showing "3 minutes is remaining" and if I disconnect and reconnect the adapter, it stops like 99% saying have completely loaded. In the battery maintenance, I changed the settings to "always fully charge' Custom, but still, it won't charge the battery fully.

    My third problem is that I have updated the BIOS of my laptop a few days ago, and when I try to search for an update of the firmware battery or when I do a battery meter reset, the system shuts down suddenly without any warning or something else.

    I would be really grateful if someone could help me with this, I like really my laptop but it really bothers me...

    Thanks in advance.

    (1) so that you must have used it a bit and then, under the charge cycle is at 234.

    (2) don't know, but sometimes my battery the fact.

    (3) download HWinfo32 and check your system temp, and what temperature your CPU is.

  • T43 won't start, it must remove the battery and try again.

    T43

    2686 E7U

    My computer frequently not turn on, I have to take to HQ and main and ultrabay batteries, sit around for a while and try again and again. It never fails to start the computer in the end, but I'm also afraid someday that simply, it won't start. Currently, I decided to not turn off my computer, I just pause and restart from time to time. Stability wise it is solid, but I would like to address this issue before the end of my warranty and I don't want to be without my computer for a long time. This has been a recurring problem for much of this year.

    I don't have a working windows partition, I run ubuntu, so I wouldn't have enough to mess with resettlement of the bios unless it can really solve my problem. Information about the current bios

    1.29 BIOS version (1YET65WW) 21/08/2006

    Embedded controller 1.06

    The typical sequence looks like this.

    Computer is turned off and unplugged after a normal shutdown.

    I plug in the power adapter to the computer, and after a few seconds the Green battery light.

    I press the power button, the computer does not put away and the light / energy from the battery stop.

    The light on the battery even when I release the power button remains off.

    Next step is to remove the AC and my two batteries, wait awhile, plug it back and and cross my fingers. If does not turn on, go to step 1 and repeat.

    I sent it to lenovo and they replaced the motherboard, and which until now has seemed to solve the problem.  even got a new keyboard out of it, even if the keyboard is a little more clicky then old.

    called Sunday, got a box Monday, droped out of the box of DHL Tuesday, got my computer back on Friday.  pretty good, considering that he was sent to tennessee.
