  • MacBook won't start - completely back screen

    2015 12 '' MacBook

    My MacBook won't start. I put on various points of sale and even changed on the brick of cable and power (I have an extra).

    Nothing happens when I press and hold the power button.

    Any suggestions before I take it to the Genius Bar?

    Here is some information that might be useful.

    After I press the button for a few seconds, the trackpad does not haptic feedback, confirming that this is the start.

    However, if I press the power button once again, I get haptic trackpad. It tells me that it is on, but I always get a black screen. And if I press the caps lock key, no green light appears.

  • Pavilion dv6 won't start - black screen


    Hello

    It is always interesting to try first following a Hard Reset.

    Shut down the laptop, unplug the AC adapter and then remove the battery.  Press and hold the Power button for 30 seconds.  Plug the power adapter (leave the battery for now) and see if the laptop boots.

    If the above doesn't help, can you post back with the complete model number and your notebook dv6 series Nr - see here for a guide to the location of such information.

    Kind regards

  • Computer won't start and the screen is weird looking

    After the maid left today, I noticed my computer screen on my DELL PC running Windows XP HOME Edition (service pack 2 or 3 - I don't know) seemed strange. The pixels have been weird in several areas of the screen and the cursor froze.  I tried to turn off the computer, but it will turn off, then I disconnected and finally had to hold the power switch on the CPU for a few seconds to turn it off.  When I tried to turn it back on again, it showed Windows startup to the top of page - but the screen still seemed weird - kind of out of touch.  The computer does not start.  It's just a black screen with a cursor in the middle of the screen is frozen and the mouse does not move.  I tried to push the F-8 when starting Windows screen came. He took me to a different boot options menu, but always with the print-screen out of phase. I tried a few startup options, but it just brought me back to the Windows boot screen with the logo being shifted - sort of split and strange looking.  Is it possible that my maid has done something to the computer, wiping down? Is it possible to fix this? It's never happened before. Can someone PLEASE?  Thank you

    Hi Goldie309,

    I suggest that you reset the default monitor settings using the buttons available on the computer screen and check if that helps.

    You can also connect another monitor to the computer to check if the monitor is defective.

  • Vista won't start! gray screen

    When I start my computer, windows error recovery comes with 2 optoins.
    Start the reboot system (recommended)
    Start windows normally.
    When I click on startup repair "windows loading files", and then black screen for a minute or 2, then a gray screen with message
    "system recovery options" the installed program cannot start. Click ok to turn off the computer...

    I put the boot to boot from the cd/dvd and using a recovery disk, "press any key to start from the cd/dvd.
    then "windows loading files" then it goes to a blue screen with some white thick vertical lines.
    After about 5 minutes or more, the "install windows" screen.
    I enter the language/time andcurrency/keyboard and click Next.
    then repair windows.
    "system recovery options" appears, but there is nothing in the box operating system for me to click to fix?
    "If you do not see your operating system listed, click load drivers to load the drivers from your hard drive or click on the next button... what should I do to reslove this as im going nuts! Please help me.

    (I don't have a vista disc (pre installed on the laptop), I have the recovery disk is one that I downloaded on the net)

    "I would contact the manufacturer of the computer, if under warranty."

    I have alread advises you to contact the manufacturer, as the disc of startup repair does not; which you say Toshiba:

    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp

    Read the background information:

    How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    Good luck with Toshiba.

    See you soon.

    A conflict between the port of the server and the default administration port is originally not not the server starts reflected by this error messages.

    Essentially two processes try to use the same port, and even if it is not clearly specified in the documentation of WLS, each server uses port 9002 as default administration port.
    This problem can be solved by changing the ' Port of local directors of substitution: "the server in conflict to a different value for each server in the same machine:

    Sign in to the administration Console
    Expand "environment-> servers.
    Select the appropriate server
    In the 'Général' tab, expand the advanced option
    Change the value of: "replace local Port Administration:' '.

    Hello

    I think that when configuring with CIM in one step, you must provide the name of the server as ATGPublishing and ATGProduction, you used default values in these steps, using the CIM date back to step and go again.

    Try also to give the name of the server as atg_production_lockserver, atg_publishing_
    LockServer during startup, if not work using CIM and reconfigure servername.

  • Inspiron 6000 - won't start Windows - Blue Screen of Death - the hard drive is Toast! Help me!

    I have a Dell Inspiron 6000 2-1/2 years, with XP Media Center.  Last night at the start, he went to the Blue Screen of Death.  I tried to restart about 10 times, each time by selecting a variety such as 'use last known good Configuration, Safe Mode, Etc.' nothing works.  Get to the point where the windows flag is waving in the wind (may be waving goodbye?) and then hangs at Blue Screen of Death.

    To make matters worse, this is the only hard drive, I have not saved for a few months and I can't seem to find my recovery/boot drive... I swear to you that I made a copy when you are prompted 2-1/2 years ago?

    in any case, I started press F12 and got to the dell diagnostic interface.  I ran the tests in the Section of the blue screen, and almost all categories of hard drives contained errors.  I tried Googling some of them and almost all of the shots indicate disk hard death is imminent.

    So, anyone have any ideas how I can:

    1 retrieve the data

    2. get Windows transferred to another hard drive (without having to buy a whole new copy)

    Any help is appreciated deeply... only 3 weeks until final and just lost a huge amount of assignments for my grad. school...

    Thank you

  • Equium L40 - Windows won't start, message on screen

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Equium L40 - 17M.
    Recently when update my antivirus, my computer tried to restart but now does not load correctly.
    Now whenever I try to turn on the computer, after the initial configuration screen Toshiba I'm greeted by the following message is displayed in the upper left corner of the screen.

    Playing a disc error has occurred
    Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart.

    However, this message seems right once again!
    Suggestions please!

    It could be a problem of file system corruption, in which case you can connect the HARD drive to another PC and run CHKDSK on the drive.

    If no help, then check the bad sectors HARD disk using the Test advanced in Hitachi DFT (Google is your friend)

    Or you can try to run your recovery discs recovery. This reformatted HARD drive, so you will need your first of all if the data backup sound still there (you can use a USB 2.5 "HDD adapter).

    If you really need your data back, there are data recovery programs, you can download to search the HARD disk for lost files.

  • Vista does not start: black splash screen E-Machines offer F2 & F10

    After a while, he seems to be trying to boot from the CD (unsuccessfully, of course), and then tells me to insert the disk system. The machine came with one.

    Reset the CMOS by pulling and reinserting the battery. Unplugged/replugged the HD to the mobo. That's all I can access without removing the optical drive, which does not seem easy.

    Hello

    Acer is the owner of eMachines.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    To reinstall Vista using a DVD of Microsoft Vista, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    You can borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    It may be F8, F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    See you soon.

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

    See you soon.

    You mean underscore flashing/blinking in the upper left corner?
    It is above all an indicator of malfunction of the HARD drive.

    In your case, I recommend contacting the Toshiba authorised service provider because the laptop is 3 months old. In this case the warranty is still valid and you must have it repaired for free.
