• Dell XPS 2710 all-in-One will not start, the totally blank screen

  Hello. This is my first post on the forums and I hope someone can help me.

  The Dell XPS 2710 all-in-one I bought for my 10 year old 15 months ago (Yes, that means that the guarantee is expired) will not start. No no post, no beeps, nothing. Just a brief spark of light on the screen, no words, nothing. The machine gets occasional use, and there is nothing to indicate what could have caused the problem. I have not upgraded the BIOS recently, is not as if it was a bad BIOS update, or whatever it is. I tried to hit the F1, F2, F12 keys delete during startup. No results.

  The video works. I know because I can connect my laptop to the HDMI-in port and I can see the desktop of my laptop very well. So the question is NOT the video. My son uses this machine for occasional movies and homework in his room. I want to fix the computer, if I can. I am handy with computers and built several machines from the outset in the past.

  I believe that the most likely scenario is that the motherboard has went wrong; There are several posts around the internet about motherboards 2710 AIO being unreliable. I saw an ad on the forums of Dell from a guy who said Dell Tech Support replaced its motherboard 2710 five times. I see that some of these motherboards are selling on eBay for around $200. I'm toying with the idea of getting a. I watched the service manual for the 2710 and I'm pretty confident that I could replace the Board of Directors.

  Someone had experience with permutation on their motherboard on a 2710 AIO? Or someone has any ideas on what could be the problem with my son's computer? I appreciate all the advice/help anyone could offer.

  OK, I have removed all the RAM from the motherboard (there were two sticks) and unplug the connector on the SATA hard drive. Then I turned on the machine and got two beeps very strong, but still no video on the screen indicating any form of activity of the POST. The sound signals have been first sounds I've ever heard during the procedure of boot on this machine. I put the RAM back in and re-connected the SATA cable. The way he has been, no video, no post, no beeps. I'm a bit at a loss for what I've decided, this means that the motherboard works technically and that another device on the machine is at the origin of the problem? Have I reason to assume that if I hear two beeps, then I should have the certainty that the motherboard was bad? Given that this a sound signal, the solution becomes cloudy, I guess. I can't help but feel that somehow the BIOS on the computer is damaged. Don't quite know how that could happen, however, because I have not updated the BIOS in over a year. I don't remember what BIOS version I have, but he had been working well for a year with no problems. Thanks for any other help/suggestions you can provide.

• My HP Pavilion DV6 will not start after replacing the screen

  I just replaced a cracked screen by following the instructions in the maintenance manual and now it does not start. The power light turns on and the fan works but nothing else happens. What can I do to trouble shoot this problem?

  The most common problem is the connection of the cable to the screen.  Make sure that it is tight. Check the connection to the motherboard as well, but it's usually OK.

• My iMac will not start past the gray screen

  At startup, the iMac rings and goes to the grey screen where he hangs up and does not progress.

  I tried with the command/R button from Mac, but the utility never appears.

  I tried to start with the SHIFT key down... same thing.

  Is there something I can do?

  Thank you very much!

  Paul,

  My iMac (early 2010) has just started doing the same thing.  Initially, I could start in recovery mode, but download time was 18 hours and time increased.  I stopped the download and downloaded the installation on a USB disk on my MacBookPro in the hopes that I could start the iMac to the USB instead soon and not tomorrow. Now, I can't get the computer to boot on the USB stick or the recovery partition.

  So he can start on the USB key you must hold down the option key when you hear the chimes boot.  Then maybe you can try and have some success.

  If you find something that works to post here, if you think about it!

  Good luck!

• Windows 8 will not start to sign in screen

  Hi all

  I'm sorry if this problem has been posted, but I read a lot of discussions that do not apply to my question. I can't get into safe mode. I can't access the operating system. I can't do anything. It shows the Packard Bell logo and spinning loading animation and then nothing. Black screen.

  Can someone tell me please how to fix this? As said I can't in safemode, bios or anything. I tried to boot from the drive with an ISO image of a registry Fixer to this topic. Nothing.

  Please please help.

  The most modern machines do not use the old Chargers to start which allowed you to enter safe mode F8 during the startup mode.  If you can't reach the Windows login screen, you can get into safe mode by restarting while clicking the option to reboot, but it does not help if you can't get there.

  Given that, most of the manufacturers have prepared with their own solutions. My computer Vaio from Sony has a button of special pinhole that I had to press with a paper clip to enter into recovery mode.  Other manufacturers have other options, some require a USB thumbdrive to enter recovery, or a CD.

  At this point, you probably want to contact Asus to know which recovery method they use.  I hate to bring bad news, but they'll probably say "why did not a recovery USB disk? (as if someone creates their own set of disks of repair when they receive a new computer).

  Help a friend with a Dell laptop (did not have a problem, but wanted a clean install anyway), Dell sent us a free night FedEx ship from a restore CD. ASUS could be so kind. I know that Sony was not. If the recovery of my Vaio button didn't work, they wanted $60 for a CD!

  Anyway, the manufacturer is your best bet, that now, if you don't have a USB self made for recovery.

• Mozilla Thunderbird will not start after the blue screen.

  There was a program that was supposed to update the drivers but caused a blue screen. I had to go back to a previous point of reset to get Windows 7 running again. Now Thunderbird gives me an error "could not load XPCOM" at startup. What should I do?

  I solved the problem as follows:
  1. turn off the antivirus software.
  2 delete the program folder in Thunderbird, C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird (Windows 32-bit) or C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Thunderbird (64-bit Windows) by default.
  3. use the browser to download the Thunderbird installer on the Mozilla site.
  4 reinstalled Thunderbird by running the installation program.
  5 turn on antivirus software.

• iMac will not start. From sound and sometimes Apple, but no further details. How can I get?

  Just got an iMac and it will not start up.  I can get the sound start and, sometimes, the Apple logo, but it stops there.

  Have tried to use 'command-option-P-R' together. Have you tried "D".  Tried "control C".  Are there other possibilities that I could try?

  Install or reinstall OS X from scratch

  Make sure that you have backed up your files because the following procedure will remove all of the hard drive.

  HD recovery start:

  Restart the computer and after the buzzer, press on and hold down the COMMAND and R until the menu screen appears.

  Erase the drive:

  1. select in the main menu disk utility and click on the continue button.

  2. once the charges of THE select your boot volume (usually Macintosh HD) in the

  list on the left. Click on the Erase tab in the main window of THE.

  3. set the type of format Mac OS extended (journaled). If necessary, click

  Security and button all the option data from scratch in a single pass. Click

  the clear button and wait until the process is complete.

  4 leave FROM and return to the main menu.

  Reinstall OS X: Select reinstall OS X and click on the install button.

  Note : You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest to use Ethernet if possible

  because it is three times faster than wireless.

  This should install the version of Mac OS X that you had installed it.

  If this does not work then your hard drive has failed and must be replaced. Please make an appointment at the Apple Store - Genius Bar store and bring it into service. If you are in the United States or is unable to make an appointment in this way, contact your Apple store.

• HD will not start from host organization but will be of a different MBP

  ((Two Mbit/s: 1) mid 2010 i5 model 1) Middle model i7 2011.

  From here, I will call them as "i5 and i7.

  The i7 was having starting problems. The taskbar would charge about 2/3 of the way in which it would "hang up" then the screen turns off. Unsuccessfully trying to boot in safe mode. Verbose mode would freeze as well. Tried the single user mode and run ' fsck - fy "and it made no difference. No idea how fix permissions with the utility El Capitan disk but I'm not sure it would make a difference. Doesn't it?

  I then did a backup/clone of the i7 to a new external storage disk. All programs and files are successfully transferred.

  Then I wiped the i7 with a clear three-pass and reinstalled OSX.

  Error #1) I have not test to see if the hd now Virgin began its host computer before you restore the old files.

  Error #2) I put the clone on the i7 copy using Super Duper.

  When installing the i7 to its host computer, it wouldn't boot in any mode just as before.

  * Comment: The i7 will start the i5 laptop when connected via USB in system preferences > startup disk.

  I am currently using the i7 connected to the external i5 as I type this.

  Disk utility has been run on the i7 at this point by indicating zero problems.

  Onyx has been run through all the options and check marks with no problems.

  Always the i7 will not start its host computer.

  I am very confused.

  Issues related to the:

  (1) why/how this phenomenon occur?

  (2) in making the i7 clone for external storage, if there was a hidden virus or something on the i7 origin, is the now compromised storage device?

  I read it twice and I'm still a little confused.

  When you cloned the i7, you do it from the other computer?

  I get the i7 disc starts from the i7 computer when it is connected to the outside. Is this correct?

  If the player starts in an external of the i7 box, but not in the computer the case most likely is the SATA cable to the hard drive.

  Try to replace.

• Satellite A105-S4164 - will not start only white screen

  Hi all
  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A105-S4164 that will not start.

  I thought that maybe there is a problem with the battery. I took out the battery and then plugged the laptop to the power outlet, makes no difference. The blue lights in the front of the laptop, lights, but I hear no noise from the motherboard or the fan. The laptop is bought in July 2006 and it is out of warranty.
  All I see is a white screen.

  My guess is that the motherboard must be replaced. I have also had kept with Symantic anti-virus and windows updates XP before April 1, 2009.

  Thank you for your comments.

  Seyed

  You can see an image on an external monitor?

  Well, I think that in this case the laptop must be verified by the technician for laptop. You should contact an ASP and ask for help. It would be the best way because the technician can be sure what parts are defective.

• Satellite P305-S8820 won't start no-POST 'BLACK SCREEN' will not start up CD

  When the HARD drive is connected Vista does not start, regardless of the boot order. Instead, it shows just a black screen with no cursor. Supplied recovery disks will not start. I removed the HARD drive and ran a scan of the disc to see if the drive went wrong, no dice, the disc is good and works fine via usb-sata on another computer.

  I inserted just the toshiba recovery disk, without HARD drive, and it starts. I connected the external HARD drive now and vista tries to start BSOD, I tried safe mode, last known, everything, nothing works, all get a BSOD disappearing too fast for me to read.

  I searched a dump file on my other computer and was a failure. When the HARD drive is connected via usb vista tries to start and the toshiba cd works now, however, it will not perform a complete installation of factory toshiba it does not find the HARD drive? I'm a windows user and I have years of experience with x 86 programming and windows 32-bit operating systems, but I'm stumped. Bad RAM? Bad Sata? Bad HARD drive? Bad CD/DVD? It is Vista Home premium.

  I don't want to reformat and lose all my data "I AM A REAL 'IT' not a silly computer user" no offense to all the others out there but I refuse just "format and forget ' tools used invites to rebuild the BCD and this does not work either and automatic repair does nothing, recovery does not work as it says there is no recovery points I am frustrated beyond words.

  Finally, this operating system is just horrible, I was once the 'happy' owner of a copy of Windows ME and it does not give me half of the problems that makes this operating system.

  I'm fed up with this, and am half tempted to ask my money for my computer, it might not be the responsibility of the user barely shoot / resolve these problems, they should be addressed before the product was released.

  I am at a loss. Help, please.

  Thank you

  I'm a bit confused with the info given, but if you can not restore/repair Windows, while you should do is back up your data to another PC using a USB adapter, and then run the recovery on the HARD drive internal in the P305.

  You must also update the BIOS.

• Vista will not start! Black screen, no mouse, no cursor pointer. Startup Repair cannot repair. Details say 'wrong pass '. What is the correct syntax for pkgmgr to uninstall?

  Vista will not start!  Black screen, no mouse, no cursor pointer.  Startup Repair cannot repair.  Details say 'wrong pass '.  It looks like all the files are well intact on the disk.

  What is the correct for pkgmgr syntax when you try to uninstall an update by using a command prompt when starting Vista OS disk?  I entered the following in the "x:\Sources >" prompt:

  start /w pkgmgr/o: "C:\; /Up:Package_1_for_KB2840149~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.0.1.0 C:\Windows.

  When I run this command it ends quickly and when I run 'echo %errorlevel%' I get '5', which seems to mean 'access denied'.  How am I supposed to have access to remove the patch?  Am I missing something?  Perhaps a switch in the syntax to access?  Help, please.  Thank you.

  I tried both options that you recommended.  As initially stated, no boot option would produce something other than the black screen.  I tried to boot from a drive and restoring the system running, but she didn't, and when I tried to do it again the recovery console could not find restore points. ?.

  An update, the computer is now fixed.  Oddly enough, I ran recovery of starting a drive at least 8 times and each time I checked the details and he said: he ran chkdsk without error and return to the same cause "a patch is preventing windows to start.  I even ran chkdsk c: /f from a prompt command from the recovery disk and it found no errors.  That's when I posted the question above after trying to remove the patch in the manner described above.  After some time and frustration, I decided to run chkdsk /r c:.  It took awhile, but it found 1 bad sector, moved the data, the bad sector tag and finished.  Once I restarted from that, everything came and went very well.

  So, the original question remains, what was missing in the command to run pkgmgr/high: successfully.  And the new question exists as to why start Recovery claims run chkdsk if it does not, or he turns the version/f not the version/r the same as I did manually?  It would be good to know for the future.  Thank you!

• Computer will not start normally - boots to the BIOS boot screen

  Hi, today I had problems on my computer and it will not start normally upward. This started happening today. When I turn on the monitor, the HP logo appears on a blue screen (as usual), but then, there are a lot of vertical white lines grouped perfectly on the screen (it's never happened before) he started to arrive yesterday. and when I try to start it, there is just a black screen for a long time and sometimes the system recov appears but it takes SO long to finish so I just stopped and went into safe mode and did a quick scans with Malwarebytes, MS Security Essentials and SUPERAntiSpyware, but they are all come clean except SUPER which came with a few things from tracking cookies...

  Today, I have scanned a full scan with malwarebytes and it says that there is no infection.

  can someone help me? I'm at the library atm! Thank you!

  Picture of the blue screen with lines here: http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/8583/post1278441253416372.jpg

  also - im wondering how to start with recov disks? I have two drives but only as on slot dvd thing and I know to start upward with her? should I boot with it because the layout is a little down? and I don't have an installation disc windows vista then Yes.

  Thank you very much!

  Hello Winston,

  According to the image that you posted, it seems that the blue screen is a blue screen with the HP logo on the subject.

  If this is the case, then the machine has not yet reached Windows and is suspended in the machine Power On Self Test.

  My recommendation for this scenario is to contact HP about what there is something at the level of the material / process/firmware BIOS which prevents the machine to get it to start Windows Vista.

  Let us know what they have to say.

  Best regards

• Update Windows xp caused my computer blue screen and now will not start.

  Update Windows xp caused my computer blue screen and now will not start.  There has been no change to my system hardware or software otherwise.  After that windows update Setup, he asked to restart the computer.  When restarted, the computer screens and past blue to the quick menu for safe mode and last known configuration to work.  None of these mode of work, not to shelter or otherwise.  The only thing that he will now implementing market is quickly flashing the blue screen and restart once again to this quick menu.

  It's really annoying because I have important files on this computer work and can't afford to get in shape!   I put my confidence in using windows and keep it updated.   During the installation of your updates, it made my system fails and does not restart.   I'll be very upset if this update of windows xp causes me to have to reformat and lose important files!

  Any advice on a solution?   I need to get this computer work as soon as POSSIBLE.

  I ordered the Dell XP disc and did the re-install. It works fine now. The Dell technical support had me do some updates on the web as well. I have not had problems since. What happened with the automatic updates completely wiped out my operating system. At least I don't have to buy a new computer.

  If nothing else works, try reinstalling your operating system. It worked for me.
