Old Dv1024 does not start

An old machine, but quite capable of simple things like a web machine.  Was up and running, suddenly closed.  When I press the power button that keyboard will Flash at the top of the page, I hear a slight click, but that's all.

These things are worth repair?  Assumptions?

Know not much to go, but all guess welcome.  Thank you!

Thank you

Already have a new, hope to recover some files on the hard drive.  Guess I'll have to look into what actually an external usb drive.

  • My very old DELL does not start all the time. And when that happens, it doesn't look very good.

    It seems that two things must happen... Three if you don't have good backups (it would be the first thing * if * you have not any outside of the machine.)

    (1) the material must be tested.  By restarting and pressing the combination of keys at the right time could test the hard/readers/speed control (CTRL + ALT + D, on a dell computer before starting at startup of Windows.)  For other tests - Dell probably put on a partition or sent a CD with the machine that allows you to perform a battery of tests on the... video, audio equipment, etc.

    (2) a restoration clean install a factory should probably be made * if * hardware testing are in agreement.  You could probably clean the machine by following the steps I'll give you - but knowing no more about the problem that we are so far... If that does not better... it's perception, or something so serious, that a clean install is probably the only real 'next step '.

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    Try to format and do a clean install of Vitsa on an old my computer HARD drive at home to be placed in a new Tower. DVD starts up fine and then goes into an endless loop of the repair system that continues to check the c: / drive to find errors. Why is the installation does not start? I know that the folder c: / drive has Vista OS on it from my old compuetr. I want to wipe off immediately and start cleaning up.

    original title: try to install clean vista

    You must set your BIOS to start on the DVD from the beginning to the top.

    You have a good DVD of Vista (OEM/upgrade or full version) and NOT only a recovery disk provided by the manufacturer of the PC (or you burn you).

    For a DVD upgrade, follow the method here and make sure you format your HARD drive thanks to the tools of "advanced install" on the DVD.

    If you have a full version of Vista rather than a version upgrade then just do the first part of the above procedure.

    I have a 10 year old black Macbook, which does not start when a battery is installed.  If it is connected without battery installed, it lights up, but if there is a battery in it, even if it is plugged in, it will get the startup sound and the screen of the Apple gray, then turn off.  I got a new battery and charge it where the charger turned green, but the results are the same.

    Any suggestions?

    Due to some troubleshooting research, I tried to delete the parent.lock my profile folder, but I get this error: "the action cannot be completed because the file is opened in Firefox."

    I tried to transfer my bookmarks and preferences from Firefox to Chrome, but I had a similar error suggesting that Firefox was already open and I have to close first.

    I also turned off my computer and uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox several times.

    I'd really rather not lose all my bookmarks Firefox, modules, and preferences. I also prefer to use Firefox for Chrome, so if anyone can help me I would really appreciate it. I don't know what else to try.

    Well, I put t know what you expect then
    Is that the laptop does not start, and you do not see the start of the BIOS or Toshiba on the screen screen
    This means that there is something wrong on the motherboard

    Worked fine until last night for a week or two. Booted up ok, but gadgets has not appeared and no Yahoo Messenger that starts automatically.
    I couldn't click on all items on the desktop or the bar at the bottom of the screen. Stop and asked if I wanted to force closing down of applications that were still running. I said yes.

    Laptop turns off and then when I rebooted it came with the screen Toshiba startup and startup of Windows and the Windows logo but then received the message that Windows could not start and I wanted to start normally or repair. I ran repair, but the AI get after Windows loading files is the cursor on a black screen.

    I tried to turn off and then I get the message when start saying that WIndows did not start successfully and I want to repair or start normally?

    If I click on the repair, it comes up saying Windows is loading files and then I just get the cursor on a black screen. The hard drive light does not illuminate and nothing seems to happen (I used to open a new window).

    I tried pressing F8 at startup upward and I select the Windows repair option, but that said just from Windows and then I get the cursor on the screen black as above. I have also tried changing the boot sequence so that it boots from CD/DVD first and insert the recovery disks, but once again nothing.

    > but that said just from Windows and then I get the cursor on the screen black as above. I have also tried changing the boot sequence so that it boots from CD/DVD first and insert the recovery disks, but once again nothing.

    Looks like the HARD drive is faulty.
    You can test the HARD drive with freeware like Drive Fitness Test or similar tool, but car aptitude test would help you to create a bootable diskette that would test the HARD drive.

    I think that the HARD drive needs to be replaced if errors would be detected according to the news from the other thread, you have created a recovery disc, so it shouldn't be a big problem to reinstall the operating system once more once the HARD drive has been replaced.

  • Portege M800 - noise and HWSetup does not start

    Hello

    I use a Portege M800-116 under XP - SP3.

    Problem 1:
    Connection Line-Out to a stereo system and play music with Winamp or WinMediaPlayer works fine on battery.
    As soon as I connect the power adapter, a whistle loud high frequency and UM static disrupts the experience.

    Problem 2:
    Files WAV or MP3 recording with internal or external microphone produce mediocre results.
    The resulting files include a high level of high frequency noise and hum static.
    Connect the power supply increases the problem.

    Comparing the quality of the recording and playback with my old confidence Portege M100:
    My M800 is one not only of poor quality - it's plain unusable.

    Problem 3:
    Toshiba HWSetup does not start from the control panel.
    Have you tried the ONU - and re - installing nothing helps.

    Thank you for guiding me towards a solution.

    Hi, fly,

    I m not Portege M800 owner so I can t he test for you, but I think that if the problem occurs only when the AC adapter is connected, it s a grounding problem

    You have 3-pin or 2-pin AC/DC adapter?
    As far as I know in this case you need 3-pin AC/DC adapter and power cord.

    You should ask an ASP in your country. Guys can order a new AC/DC adapter and check your laptop to what the problem is exactly.

    Suraj

    Hello

    The PXE message means that the device is trying to boot from the network. I put t understand you a lot with C and D HD. I assume you mean that you have two partitions on a single HARD disk. C partition for the operating system and the D partition for your data.

    If I understood you as soon as you cannot boot operating system at all. On this path, it is not easy to say what may be the problem but obviously you a problem with the HARD drive. It is probably defective. If the recovery DVDs is not able to detect one that there may be a serious problem.

    I put t know how contact the partner old Service your unit is but if the warranty is still valid and let check the device.

    Good luck!
