Lenovo Y400 does not start correctly

I bought a Y400 Ideapad in January 2013 and over time, the number of times where I had some random restarts or inability to properly start has increased. For the startup problem I press the power button and I hear the sound of the computer turn on but the screen does not turn on and does nothing. This can continue for many tests until it actually reaches the login screen. Sometimes I spam F8 or F1, just to be able to get to the startup Lenovo screen, but then it does that press the buttons are supposed to do.

I called support and the last time I called they think that its a few horses of Trojan or virus and they say that the only help they can give me is some service $200 where they call a technician to come look at my laptop. After that call I ran things like AVAST, Malwarebytes and Super AntiSpyware Combofix without result. I used the One Touch recovery to restore the original configuration, and I still have this problem.

I don't know what to do anymore.

Hi sdy007,

Yep

According to the explanations here on the forums of Neokenchi

"Calibration retry count is the number of times that the HARD drive has initialized (the head alignment and tracks) when the computer is turned on and it took 91 times to calibrate beaches head to HARD drive - this may seem like an imminent HARD drive failure.

You can contact the Support technique Lenovo to get the HARD drive replaced it should be covered, you can ask them on your options on getting to this fact.

At the same time have your saved data if possible.

  • Mac does not start correctly

    Hello, my Imac does not start correctly. When he plays the macsound boots but only half of the load of the boot. Then it restarts.

  • 6 Lightroom does not start correctly

    LIghtroom 6a fonctionnee om my 10 (x 64) of Windows without problem for 6 months. After the installation of a slide (CyberViewX) scanner and a regular update to Win 10 that occurred automatically when closing down the computer, the 6 Lightroom does not start correctly since I restarted the computer. I uninstalled the scanner CyberViewX program and rebooted the computer again. The only thing that happens when you try to open LR6 is a message that an error has occurred when opening the catalog. I do not have a backup catalog, and there is a button where I can choose a different catalog. When you press this button I find the backup catalog, but when I chose this catalogue I go back to the original message and the backup catalog was obviously not chosen. There is a button to create a new catalog as well and when I press this button I just in my photo folder and there seems to be no way to create a catalog or open LR6. This form of dialogue is obviously not working correctly.

    There was a lock by the catalog file, and I deleted this file. I also tried all the tricks LR running as an administrator and assign full privileges for all users of my photo file.

    The only thing I have not tried is to uninstall and reinstall the whole LR6, but I have a lot of photos and work so I hesitate to do this without knowing that it is necessary and if sure that I can get everything back in order with the old catalog and all restored. Anyway to fix corrupted with the installation DVD files?

    What should do? Help!

    Hi bjomb,

    You suggest to choose the option to create a catalog and give it the name once you get the pictures folder window, and then choose create.

    This would create a new catalog.

    check if it opens the new catalog, and it passes under the background processes in the Task Manager.

    If it does not, then you need to reinstall Lightroom program and it would not affect your changes as changes are stored in the catalogues and catalogues remain it is same when the resettlement.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite U300 - Windows does not start correctly

    My U300 Vista Home run came in a boot loop: Windows can not start correctly and makes me want to use repair system, which failed and just makes me want to stop the computer again.

    I've tried without success, but failure mode it no more. I have a product recovery CD, but the system does not start from him. When I studied at the start, I saw that the BIOS does not detect the optical drive.

    Help please! Thank you.

    Hi nonprofit.

    You could try to load the default settings in the BIOS. Maybe it will be reconigze the CD/DVD drive again.

    Otherwise I think that it of necessary to replace the defective drive. Then, you would be able to use the Toshiba recovery disc again. This will restore factory in a few minutes.

  • Satellite C650 - Windows does not start correctly

    I have a Satellite C650, who does not start, when it lights there are two options, Startup Repair launch which leads to a black screen and mobile arrow, the screen remains like that until you turn it off the button stop (seriously ive left for about 10 hours). The other option is to start windows normally resulting in a blue screen and the laptop restarts itself.

    Help me please, make things worse I can't find the box that it came in which contains the guarantee and recovery disc

    Hey Buddy,

    You can start your laptop in safe mode? This means that if you press the F8 key before Windows starts and you choose Safe mode can you start Windows?

    If this isn't the case I think that it s something wrong with your Windows installation and that's why you need to use the Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings.

  • Satellite Pro L850-1DW does not start correctly

    Hello

    I have a client who has a L850-1DW / PSKDHE-00E005EN laptop.

    She keeps pointing out that the computer does not start successfully from the cold.
    She argues that the question arises mainly when the battery starts but sometimes when it is plugged into the mains.
    I can see where point of newspapers that BSOD were registered at the start and that, on more than one occasion, his computer was recovered from a restore of Windows. He has also recovered factory once too.

    Although I've seen the consequences of these issues of "start-up" I have yet to experience first hand with the device.

    I noticed yesterday that the BIOS is outdated (as I had an alert Tempro).
    I upgraded from 1.6 to 6.50. Yet once, I didn't have problems.
    I can't find the release notes for the BIOS so I don't know if this is a known problem that has been fixed.
    I don't know if this "intermittent" defect is just that or if the user has the power button down too hard or for too long and in fact inadvertently crashing NB itself.

    Any suggestion is welcome.

    Otherwise, I guess I have to connect a call with Toshiba.

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here. In my opinion, you should ask your client if you can make the data backup and install original recovery image. To my laptop computer reviews must be tested with the settings without installation of additional software.

    > I don't know if this "intermittent" defect is just that or if the user has the power button down too hard or for too long and in fact inadvertently crashing NB itself.
    Who knows? Ask your client and show how to start the laptop by pressing the button walk / stop. It must be done slowly and for only one second.

  • Lenovo Z585 does not start on a DVD - jump directly to Windows

    Hello, I just got a new IdeaPad Z585 from newegg, and I can't figure out how to boot from a disk in the drawer of the DVD.

    I tried to open the BIOS and change the boot order, as well as simply go directly to the start menu. I tried with UEFI both active and disabled, as well as Secure Boot both enabled and disabled. No matter what I try, it does not start in any DVD.

    I try to install Linux and tried different discs and distributions of this. When no even reached GRUB, I tried a Windows 7 installation disc, and even that is ignored.

    What should I do?

    Hello
    The secureboot and uefi must be handicapped simaltaneously. You can try if you haven't.
    Also, could you try pressing the novo button to power your laptop. The novo button is the button of reocovery key a small next to the power button. Has then access Startup menu see if it helps.

  • Lenovo G550 does not load correctly.

    Well well, Hello to all.

    I had a problem with my Lenovo G550 recently. It doesn't load properly and in most cases, I have to recharge it when it is off. When I start my laptop and as soon as I get the screen of Windows login (or not even up to the loading screen), the power led starts flashing. I log in to see the laptop not charging. I tried what you usually would, like turn the LAPTOP works after a period of time, remove the battery and put it in after a few minutes or maybe even an hour, check the charger, bring in and out of the computer laptop and even leave the rest of the laptop for some time without the charger or the battery in the. After all, sometimes even that, it seems that it still doesn't load. Sometimes it will load when turned on, though, does not charge for a few minutes and stops loading. Even when turned off, sometimes, it doesn't load correctly or the other.

    If you know something that could solve this problem, a suggestion or if you know why I'm having this problem, just reply to this.

    This problem has been resolved. My charger came with my laptop was indeed a problem. =/

  • Lenovo G500 does not start

    Hello

    How are you? I am new to the community.

    I am facing a problem with my laptop Lenovo G 500. The memory is as follows:

    When it is plugged in, the battery light is on (white color). But when I press the power on button/recover button, the power led starts for a second and then the two LED lights (power and battery) turns off. The screen blinks but turns off immediately.

    I tried to unplug the power cord and took out the battery and then you press the Start button for 30 seconds and then reinstalled battery and plugged the power cord. But the same thing happens again.

    Addiitonal Info:

    -The fan does not work

    -CD ROM will not open

    What should I do? Thanks for help.

    Ravi

    It looks like a hardware problem that will require a tech to study. I advise you to contact the Lenovo Support by phone to discuss the repairs under warranty.

    Good luck.

  • Satellite L does not start correctly

    My laptop sometimes has problems to start.

    I opened the laptop & it tries to start, but the "num lock" and "caps lock" LED (green) lights remain lit. If the laptop starts properly, the light turn on for a very short time and switch immediately.

    It does not always, but often and it is quite annoying. The best way to solve it is to remove the battery and insert it again (soft reset)? But since that requires a screwdriver. But this should not be necessary to start my laptop.

    How can I solve this?

    The only thing I've tried so far is reset to the factory settings power options. That did not help.

    I have the same problem, a solution please?

  • Satellite C600 does not start correctly

    I seem to have committed the cardinal sin of being too eager on the initial commissioning. I had 4g RAM installed at purchase (yesterday).
    At startup, I selected Windows 64-bit and sat down to wait for the entire boot process to happen.

    I got the message "Recover files", but after 2 hours, nothing was.
    The progress bar had not moved and he had no hard disk activity. I hit 'Cancel' and turns off the machine.

    Now, he's not beyond commissioning before giving me an error message.
    I was too impatient?

    I can't recover from this?

    Hello

    You have upgraded the RAM and since the laptop start correctly?
    Have you tested if the laptop could properly initialize without the new inserted RAM?
    Please check this because I think the issues is related to the new RAM and probably the phone should start without the new RAM modules.

  • Satellite A10 - does not start correctly

    I have a Satellite A10 and I can't start even last known good configuration or in safe mode does not work and if it starts it will take much time but a blue screen appears and indicates that an error has occurred and prevent any damage on the hard disk.
    I put in the recovery cd, but I do not have the cause of xp, it is said start windows 98 but im on a xp pro I got when I bought the laptop. So, if any of it can help?

    HI Johan,.

    If you are unable to boot from your hard drive, then your only other option will be to boot from a CD-ROM.

    Most of the commercially available backup utilities (Norton Ghost, Acronis True Image, etc.) include such a bootable CD. Supplied with your laptop product recovery CD is very probably a stripped down version of Norton Ghost, which is specifically designed to format your hard drive and then restore an image of 'Phantom' of the original OEM software.

    It is quite possible for your hard drive to be damaged and have still LED lights when it is accessed. The damage might be the physical mechanism of the player, or the lining of the surface of the platters etc.. A CD bootable one of backup utilities will probably include a version of CHKDSK, you can run to test the integrity of your hard drive. Norton, for example, include a copy of Disk Doctor.

    If you have a copy of the original Windows installation CD, you can boot from that in the recovery console and try to repair what is damaged on your hard drive, assuming that the problem is that the damaged or missing files. In principle, you can use the XP Home Edition CD to do this only if the damaged files are not specific to XP Pro to which cases they will not on HE drive.

    > Is the vacuum battery CMOS? Why should remove the battery and AC help in this situation? Made load for 24 hours with laptop turned on help
    I don t think that the battery is empty. Your description does not sound like a battery problem.
    If the CMOS battery is empty then the laptop could start but only the date and the hour would set the default

    So I think that the problem could be linked to more than a motherboard on the question of CMOS battery problem
    I think we can discuss the anomaly and we say what part might be bad, but finally it would be only a hypothesis and won't really help to know exactly what's wrong.

    So I would say you should ask for verification of the material an ASP.
