PXE - E61: media test failure after update BIOS on Dell Inspiron 5759

Hi everyone and thank you in advance for the help.

I explain the problem: after upgrading the BIOS to version 1.2.2 the laptop has rebooted and showed the following message appears:

Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller series v1.36 (26/11/14)

PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of

PXE - MOF: Exit PXE ROM.

No found boot device. Press a key to reboot the machine.

I used diagnostic ePSA and the tests were all OK, then I tried to restore the default settings in the BIOS, but nothing has changed.

Anyone has any advice to solve the problem?

Thank you once again,

Vittorio

  • HP DV7-3063cl laptop PC: BIOS cannot locate the serial number of the new motherboard more PXE - E61: Media test failure, check

    I have recently restored a HP DV7 3063 cl laptop that died a hot mother (MB). I replaced the MB with a new Board of Directors of HP when the price has been reduced to $100, updated the CPU with an announced as new AMD 640 M and applied Arctic Silver on CPU and graphics chips. I put in 4 G memory cool, got the computer to work and installed Windows 10.

    However, I have several problems:

    1. The BIOS cannot locate the serial number of the motherboard during the boot process and sends a message to the effect. I hit the ENTER button start continues.

    I tried to access the BIOS to enter the serial number or other possible solutions, I found online. Help forum a HP had a BIOS software tool for editing of Compaq in 2000 but said it would only be on the desktop and HP staff will provide a BIOS for my laptop.

    2. I get two error messages that

      • PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of

      • PXE - M0F: Exit PXE ROM

    I didn't know all the patches for this issue, but it only delays the process of starting shortly before it continues.

    Finally, the computer starts Windows, but other problems.

    mhscholder,

    There isn't any publicly available method to update information in the BIOS.  HP only authorized service providers can update the MB after installation.  You will get this message during boot every time.  You also won't be able to run a recovery since the recovery media is looking for this information.

    The PXE errors generally occur during the initialization of the network is listed in the boot order before the hard drive.

  • PXE - E61: media test failure on 3500 Portgege but can't get into the BIOS

    I canoe get into my BIOS menu.
    I tried all the keys (ESC, F1, F2, delete, etc), but then I get the message: "PXE - E61: media test failure, check cable for.
    "PXE - M0F: PXE ROM of output. I tried everything, but I can not even access the BIOS menu.

    Turn on the laptop and hold ESC, then press F1 when prompted. By pressing F12 at startup should give you a start menu. (It's in the user manual)

    The PXE error means its trying to boot from the network, because it can not find an OS on the HARD drive.

  • T510: PXE - E61: Media test failure problem

    I have just over one year an owner very satisfied with a T510 (type the code 4313CTO, under XP SP3). However, two days ago, I tried to start as usual and received a startup message that there is a disc read error. After several attempts to solve the problem, I now get PXE - E61: Media test failure. I know that the disc is good, because I can read and write perfectly in another PC. The software on this is good, because the restoration from a recognized reliable backup did not help. Finally, loading the same backup to another HARD drive and try it also did not help. Also, try to start with that second drive via the eSATA port has achieved the same result.

    In the BIOS, I tried to not set the controller SATA to 'Compatibility' mode (he had worked in AHCI mode) - no good. I also tried different combinations of the boot order, all to nothing does not. Although it can play CDs, if I try to run the installation of Win XP CD, I end up with the BSoD, directed with the message "a problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

    I fear that the damage has already occurred. Is it possible I can run a diagnostic to check if material (i.e. the interface SATA) is screwed in fact?

    OK, last update on this problem: and today's lesson, it is that, if you replace a component suspect (in this case, my HARD drive), make sure it is with that which is good (that wasn't). My confusion is aggravated by the fact that I examined it with a USB-SATA interface with a suspect SATA port, via a USB hub low power. Once I got around these questions, by restoring the yet another (certainly known to be good) HARD disk, it worked fine. Reformatting and restoring my original HARD drive also worked well, so I am now back to the status quo ante, i.e. my laptop works fine as before and my happiness . As to why my HARD drive was lost, who knows? Maybe it was too go through an airport x-ray machine.

    One thing I get is a test of BACK of PC Doctor utilties bootable CD (downloaded from http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-70443.html) which is really worth having - I recommend it to anyone having problems with a T400 or T500 series.

  • Portege Z830, PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of

    Hello

    I have a problem on my Toshiba Portege Z830. After that I turn to the top of the computer, windows attempts even to start, instead, I saw the following message:

    PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of
    PXE - M0F: Exit Intel Boot Agent.
    Insert system disk in drive.
    Press any key when ready...

    From what I understand, it seems that laptop is trying to boot from LAN, instead of SSD.

    I did that in the BIOS boot order is reasonable. It is:
    1 HDD / SSD
    2. USB memory
    3. USB WEIRD
    4. DISKETTE DRIVE
    5 LAN
    I also tried to load the defaults in the BIOS, just in case.

    I also tried to re - install Windows 7 and Ubuntu installation, USB. In both cases, Installer was not able to discover any drive where system could have been installed.

    That seemed to me like a problem of material with SSD. And it's actually the second time I'll have it with this laptop. I got it about 4 months ago and at that time I sent my laptop certified Toshiba service in Zuerich. They sent it back, saying that the material was OK and he must have had a software problem.

    To my surprise, after that they sent back for some portable reason indeed started working, I have not yet lost all data (didn't need to reinstall the system, everything worked).
    I was happy, but since now the same thing happen again, I don't know what I have to do.

    Whether any other SSD that hardware problem? If Yes, what else can I try?

    If the only option is broken hardware, how can I make sure that this time he gets permanently fixed by Toshiba service?

    Thank you
    Alan

    > From what I understand, it seems that laptop is trying to boot from LAN, instead of SSD.

    It's OK; the message appears if no other boot device could be found.

    _Question: _
    SSD or HDD disk appears on the first page of the BIOS (size of the SSD drive and the name should be visible)?
    In case the SSD drive isn't in the list, there must be a problem with this device and I guess you have to replace it.

    > If the only option is broken hardware, how can I make sure that this time he gets permanently fixed by Toshiba service

    You simply ask the maintainer authorized Toshiba in your country.
    I guess guys will try to recover the laptop and where this is not possible, they would replace the faulty device.

  • Satellite A30 - PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of

    Hello

    I got a Satellite A30-064 as gift. The guy who gave it to me, said its broken. I checked the forum startup error message:

    + PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable PXE - M0F: exit PXE ROM +

    I can boot in the BIOS, change the HARD drive. The two old or new are properly recognized in the BIOS. Boot order is correct (not LAN).

    I have to give it to the recycling station? I don't not want to was wrong, it seems to me the error which is left is on the motherboard. Would this be a machine "Oops, I spilled my coffee on the keyboard?

    Has anyone managed to get rid of a similar problem?

    Usually this error message appears because the laptop tries to start from LAN because she doesn t recognize other bootable devices like ODD or HARD disk.

    Usually if the HARD drive would be recognized then this message PXE - E61 appears.

    What happens if you insert a bootable CD and press the C key immediately after starting the laptop?
    The C button should allow booting from ODD.

    Please check this!

  • Satellite C660D - media failure PXE - E61: media test failure, check cable of

    Hello

    hope I can help with this problem.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite C660D, which I bought in 2011 and he has recently started to act, whenever I try to pass on it tells me

    Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller series V2.38 (24/12/10)
    PXE - E61: media test failure, check cable.
    PXE - MOF: Exit PXE ROM
    Operating system not found

    This problem started when I tried to install the new operating system (Win 7 32 bit) on my hard drive of the windows partition, this instillation was a success, and I even managed to create a user profile after installation.

    However, as soon as I logged on to the computer says me he wants to get back out to check my windows and it did it automatically and since then he never restart and tells me that this media test failure error.

    I checked my hard drive if that work by connecting it as external on another computer and its still fine with everything that always there, I deleted and reintroduced it a couple of times, but always the media test failure still occur, I even tried to change the sequence of start several times, including the default settings , but the problem still persists.

    I have two laptops of the same type and both of them give me the same problems, I am running out of ideas on how to fix this problem any help will be much appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hello
    This message means that the system was not found on the HARD drive and the next boot device was LAN. But unit was not able to boot from LAN and so this PXE error appeared.

    You said that the HARD drive is OK. Well, what is the status of the HARD drive in the BIOS?
    HDD is recognized correctly in the BIOS on the first page of the BIOS?

    Where it is, you should try to reinstall the system once more.
    In the case of the disk HARD isn't visible in the BIOS, you must replace it.

    Hello

    I agree with danydemaeseneire
    You should first check if the right Boot order (ODD, HDD, etc.) has been in the BIOS. If the LAN is set to the first position, then you must change this!
    To access the BIOS please use the ESC and then F1 keys.

    Another possibility is that the OS does not exist on the HARD disk. In this case, you need to install the operating system.
    Press the C or F12 key immediately after turn computer laptop to boot from the CD.

    Good luck

    Hi DaCarlo,

    The error messages indicate that laptop you trying to make a network rather than boot from the CD or the HARD drive boot. There is usually a setting in your BIOS where you can indicate that you have a NIC (not PXE) boot. You can check that it is set correctly for NIC (no PXE).

    A NIC Boot starts from the selected list bootable devices that you specified in the BIOS. I'll make sure that you have your specified HARD drive is first in the list, or after after your CD if you prefer to have the CD option automatically available.

    Messages PXE always makes me check the boot order in the Bios to you make sure it is correct.  For Windows to load needs to access the hard drive on your machine, this is not the case.  The hard drive must be set before any PXE (Network Boot).  The message of the startup disk not valid because you inserted diskette that does not have a boot disk, then remove the disk from the drive.  Focus on the Boot order in the Bios.

    To enter the Bios (see your computer screen to the power, your manual or the manufacturer's web site) you probably rely on something like the delete key, or one of the F keys at startup time, but the actual key varies from a model.  Many computers call it "Enter Setup", the installation program is just another term for Bios.

    Set your Bios on the default security settings can also solve that for you.

  • Cisco UCS C210 M2: PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of

    Hello

    I'm working on Cisco UCS C210 M2 servers. I got 10 146 GB SAS HD with LSI MegaRAID Raid Controller. I did run the Raid Controller and choose RAID6. After that I installed ESXi and it said to reboot the server. Now, when I restart the server I get the following error message:

    PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of

    PXE - M0F: Exit Boradcom PXE ROM

    Restart, and then select proper boot service

    or Insert Boot Media in some boot device and press a key

    Any suggestions how I can solve this problem.

    Thank you.

    You will need to go into the Bios of the controller LSI MegaRaid (Ctrl + H) and select the option of virtual drives on the left. When the virtual command window opens, you must select the drive (Raid Volume) on which you want your drive master boot and underneath there will be an option to set as your boot device. Apply and save.

    Hey Buddy,

    If you have tested the HARD drive in a box of another and external HARD drive laptop without success the case is clear: the HARD drive needs to be replaced because it s defective!

    I can understand that you want to recover your data, but what do you do if you are not able to access? In this case you need assistance, a special data recovery lab, but it is not cheap and costs hundreds of dollars.

    I m wondering that you don't have a backup. Have you never tried to do it or thought it would be useful?

    Last but not least a new HARD drive can be ordered at a service provider authorized in your country or each computer store. Satellite L300 supports SATA 2.5 hard drives.

    If someone could advise me before I go and buy another HARD drive, I would be grateful.

    ... also, if I don't change the HARD drive, my Vista recovery disc would work with the new drive or do I need a new copy of Vista?

    Hello

    Yes, it's a typical message when the laptop cannot boot from the HARD drive and switches to the local network.
    I think that your HARD drive is not present may be dead
    You can check the BIOS if the HARD disk is which are listed there.

    If the HARD drive is not recognized in the BIOS, then I would recommend this replacement.
