PXE - e61: media test failure, check cable__pxe-m0f: exit pxe rom__no bootable device - insert boot disk and press any key

My boyfriend knocked over a glass of soda on my laptop and it had the same error message for always, I'm not terribly computer savy, but 'shop' means they want 200-275 to fix! Help!

It would seem that you have a hardware problem, caused by the spilled liquid.

Hardware issues are beyond the scope of these Forums.

I suggest that you take it to a reputable repair shop, computer room.

See you soon.

    Hello

     

    1. What is the brand and model of the laptop?

    2 have you made any changes to the computer before the show?

     

    Method 1:  Change the boot order in the BIOS settings:

    See the following steps:

    Important: BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    (a) start on typing Dungeon either F1, F2, F10, Esc, or DEL to enter the BIOS Setup.

    Warning: some manufacturers use F10 for recovery of the system.

    (b) glance to "Drive Configuration", "Boot order" or similar

    (c) check the second drive the first boot device CD/DVD and hard drive.

    (d) to save the settings and exit.

     

    Method 2:

    Step 1: Trying to boot into safe mode and see if that helps.

    Start your computer in safe mode:

    I just started a new Sat L350 upward and I can not go beyond the second page that says; Media test failure and no boot device, insert the boot disk and press any key.

    I have no disc and I'm stuck,

    Help!

    Hello

    This error message appears because the BIOS didn't not find a bootable device containing an operating system.

    What of the HARD drive? Is it recognized by the BIOS?
    Check in the BIOS settings; Press ESC and F1 to access the BIOS.
    There, you should check if the HARD drive (all details of the HARD drive should appear) is recognized.
    If this isn't the case, then it means that your HARD drive is dead and so you cannot boot from the HARD drive.

    I had some problems with my A210 overheating a stop (even tried extra cooling), but since the last stop, I am now unable to boot, I get the following...

    I assumed that the HARD drive is dead, although I don't want to get another, only to find it's something else like a bad cable... I removed the HARD drive and given the link suddenly.

    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?

    Thank you

    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.
    As far as I know it takes 2.5 HDD SATA

    My Toshiba Satellite L30-149 with the PSL35E-002002NS model number is equipped with a MK4032GSX drive HARD 40 GB, Bios V 1.90 and HP Windows XP Home edition.

    IT stops during startup with the text.

    This occurs even if the disc is removed and seq. boot is changed so it should search the CD/DVD and even though the power and the battery has been disconnected for 15 minutes.

    Please advice how to reset the Fast Ethernet controller, not sure that a HDD defective only can cause the fault of I m.

    Hello

    I think that this is related to failure of HARD drive or lack of OS on the HARD drive.
    Is this message PXE ONLY appears if the portable computer is trying to boot from LAN.

    Means either the LAN was chosen in the BIOS as first boot device or operating system is not found on the HARD drive and so the BIOS automatically goes to the local network.

    So I recommend this audit in the worst case you will need to check if the new HARD drive would solve this

  • 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!

  • Portege R100, PXE - boot problem - E61:Media Test failure, check cable

    My portege r100 4004GAH original hard drive has had some problems recently, so I decided to replace it with a bigger 4006GAH. Specifications, it seemed that it would be appropriate.

    So I tried to install standard windows top. Unfortunately as I soon discovered that didn't work and lead to BSOD. I looked online and remembered that I had in fact to use the recovery of three discs. Fortunately for me I still had the freshly sealed and I've also owned a combined remarkable Targus CD drive supported. If in the three discs are gone. All seemed well and after that the last drive ended, I was asked to remove the disc. The laptop has rebooted and then gave me the

    PXE - E61:Media Test failure, check cable
    PXE - M0F: Exit Intel PXE ROM
    Insert system disk
    Press a key to continue...

    I thought it might be in the order of start, but verified that and it seemed right. HD was first. I also changed the order and the same error came.
    I thought while another component of my laptop may be broken. So I put my old hard drive in. It started fine.
    The next thought that the new hard drive was defective.

    Fortunately, this is not the case. Because when I used the recovery disks not only heard disk hard turns to the top, but the hard drives were detected and recovery installation displays the correct memory size.

    I'm completely stumped on hat w what is the problem. Any help would be appreciated.

    It is not easy to say what the problem is but you said the Portege started fine with the old HDD. So I think that there is something wrong with the new.

    In your case I test the HARD drive with a special tool like Drive Fitness Test. Download the CD image, burn it to a CD and boot from it. Then you can test the HARD drive.
    On the same site is a user's guide if you want to know more.

    In addition I am interested in what you have the same problem with a Microsoft installation disc if you have one.
    So try if your HARD disk has no errors.

  • 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.

    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.

    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.
