The power and the battery on the headlight LEDs, but the switch light does not work. I checked the power supply and it is 19.3V and substituted a good known. Removed the battery, tried with just the power cord and still nothing. Pressing ESC or F2 when you press the button power does not bring to the top of the screen of the bios or any other message. I have concluded there is no power the jury. A friend he had its technology take a look and he concluded Council is probably a friend.

  Hello

  > 1. He's probably right?

  Yes, it looks like motherboard failure

  > 2. Is this a common problem with an easy solution?

  If it's a motherboard problem, the whole motherboard is replaced. Quite expensive part...

  > 3. What else can do before shelling out for a new Board of Directors?

  I don't think you can do anything with fried mobo

• Computer does not start after the screen of the bios, Compaq Presario SR1023WM

  Ok. Trying to fix a friend's computer and seem to have met a strange barrier.

  Problem: The computer does not start after the bios screen.

  Details: When you turn on the computer, the compaq logo with intel inside is and has the < F1 Setup > and < F10 System Recovery > options listed as well.  And that's it as far as the computer becomes.  After that the computer just locked up, no work of buttons on the keyboard lights keyboard ect ect.  I tried the puree on the F1 key, as soon as I turn on the computer and I can handle so he can say * entering setup * but it freezes again after this point.  I already tried to eliminate the possible sources of the problem, removed all expansion cards, HDD and Dvd Rom module only disconnected, only memory (256 MB ddr 2700), power, vga and keyboard connected.  Ive also used the jumper on the motherboard to clear the cmos, hoping that would solve the problem without success.  I tried using a different memory stick and different memory as well...  Tried to use both a ps2 and a usb keyboard... Ive even tried pulling the rider for the protection of the bios password (even if she did not have a password on it, just try everything I can think of).

  The installed bios version is 3.1, and that's all that I know on the computer at this point, except that the website tells me to him.

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/product?product=411354 & LC = on & CC = US & DLC = in & Submit.y = 5 & Submit.x = 3 & lang = to & CC = US <-link to the Web page for the model #.

  I'm basically at a loss on this one, so if someone feels scroll line-by-line of their brains on this one, I'd be very happy.

  I have a pretty strong understanding of computer repair, so feel free to give me something to try.

  If you need more information out of me, let me know as well.

  Try to clear the CMOS again but this time remove CMOS battery and hold the power button on a few seconds. Replace the battery, then try to start back to the top.

  At the back of the pc is the condition of the PSU led green or flashing?

  Hello

  A few weeks ago, I turned on my PC and it showed at the Compaq screen and then went to a blank screen & would not respond. I held the switch button to turn it off and after 4 attempts, it start fine. Next time, it took 20 attempts to initialize and now it does not start, it will be maybe if I try like 100 times he can do... The problem is when the Compaq screen comes up it comes only for like a second so I know that it does not start, if the Compaq screen stays for a few seconds as 3 + I know it will load windows and start.

  History > the computer originally had XP and has been replaced with VISTA memory was 2 * 512MB, but it was a bit slow and I was advised to upgrade. I bought 2 * 1 GB memory and put it in my PC a few months there may be 5 + had no problem so far.

  I tried the following:

  Remove the memory and replace it. Remove the 2 * 1 GB of memory and its replacement by the Moose 2 * 512MB to check if the memory is at fault.

  Cleaning of the dust around the fan (at this point, I removed the fan over the CPU and cleaned the thermal compound from the CPU to make it nice and shiny, only tried to start one time after that for a few seconds heard blowing fan and turend it took off. Depuis_lors, I realized that it wasn't just muck and had a purpose na derwiche put a little more on)

  Remove the battery of the BIOS for half a day

• surcurity essentials does not start, and the windows firewall does not illuminate

  Hello

  I have a problem, he seems to have had a virus on my pc. Essentials of security does not illuminate and the windows firewall will not also turn on, I tried to use the tool to "fix" windows and it doesn't solve the problem.

  the original virus seemed to rename its self as a program existing and renamed the oringinal by a space in the name, for example "adobearm.exe" became "adobearm .exe" there is a space before the dot.

  The virus called his free adobearm.exe icon because it is a yellow / orange with a letter H, at the Center

  different file name her seemed to be part of the virus included "ag7yl5x8.exe".

  If you tried to close them in the task manager that they just either came back or a different file name would appear in the list.

  I also couldn't do a windows update, but I think as the tool to 'fix' as cured this problem.

  Can someone help me please.

  Thank you

• Satellite U300-13U does not start and the recovery disc fails to too much work

  Hi all

  I have the above computer (or should I say my wife) & it is nothing that a good pain since the first day we got it.
  I have had it about 2 years & had to reformat the HD at least 6-8 times using the product recovery disc as laptop starts.
  The laptop runs Vista.

  In any case, problem I have now is that new laptop does not start, but for some reason any product recovery disc also does not work...
  What I can do...

  I have read on various forums that it might work if I reformat the HD first using some s/w on a bootable CD but how / what S/W can I use...?
  The laptop has a SATA HD 160 GB installed. How can I check that it all works.
  I don't know if the current problem is S/W or related material...

  Toshiba has a utility that I can use...?

  Thanks a lot for all the help...

  John

  Hello

  What happened exactly?
  Do you receive error messages by using the recovery disk?

  Check if the HARD drive is OK! You can check in the BIOS.
  If the HARD drive is listed in the BIOS then the HARD drive and HARD drive found BIOS is not dead.

  Usually, you might start Notepad with the help of a Live disc for example Bart PE
  It s a bootable windows CD/DVD live

  http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/

  This can allows you to format the HARD disk, and then use the recovery disc!

  Hello

  It looks like your Qosmio F750-03W PQF75C 03W001 is a Canadian model of Toshiba that I found it here:
  http://support.Toshiba.ca/support/ISG/Center/en/index.asp?S1=notebook&S2=Qosmio&S3=F750&S4=PQF75C-03W001

  First you need to update the BIOS with the latest version (at this time, it seems that BIOS 2.0 is the most recent).
  Also update the
  nVidia Display Driver version 8.17.12.9039
  Super-D IC Driver version 1.0.1613.809
  Toshiba Blu - ray Disc Player version 1.0.1.299
  as mentioned here http://support.toshiba.ca/support/isg/tsb/en/view.asp?docid=TSB001633

  If stereo 3D effects are not well use X-tune to calibrate it.
  It is recommended to use this utility to optimize the 3D stereo effects when you use the 3D without glasses for the first time or to be dissatisfied by the 3D effects.

  To use the X-Tune utility, follow the steps below:
  1. Select the language mode and optimization, and then click OK. There are three optimization modes: primary, advanced and professional. You can choose according to your own experience.
  2 sitting about 60 cm from your computer, click Start to continue.
  3. follow the onscreen instructions on each step.
  4. use the left or right side of the keyboard arrow key to adjust the effect. When you are satisfied with the effect, click on enter and then an information window appears on the screen. Press the keyboard ESC key to cancel the optimization procedure.
  5. click on Finish to close the X-Tune utility.

  You said that your face recognition does not work correctly so uninstall this software. This also with the software/driver for webcam. Once these two tools has been uninstalled, clean the registry with CCleaner and install these two tools using the most recent version.
  Restart and start X-Tune to calibrate the 3D effects.

• Satellite A30 does not start with the USB device connected at boot time

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A30 and sometimes it does not start.
  After turning on, not even the BIOS starts.
  even if sometimes the BIOS starts, but the OS does not load.

  I figured out that its related to USB devices connected at boot time.
  If no USB devices are connected, it starts without a problem.
  Even if the start-up is suspended, as soon as you unplug start it BIOS USB devices.
  Its ok to connect USB devices later, once the system has started.
  I disabled "removable devices boot" and "network startup."
  just in case, but it makes no difference.

  BIOS is version the most recent (1.70) and it comes up with all kinds of USB devices.
  printer, mouse and (self-powered) external USB hard disk.

  Is this a known issue?
  There is no known workaround solution?

  Hello

  I put t know why this happens, but it has to do with the BIOS.
  The same thing happened on my old laptop. I couldn't start my unit while the USB printer has been turned on and connected.
  The only solution is to disconnect the external USB device during the boot process.

  RSY you should check if the order of boot in the BIOS has been on the HARD drive first.

• Satellite L650 does not start sometimes the Power button

  Sometimes when I press the button works / starting the fan of laptop and the laptop does not start.
  However when I press once again lights up.
  This does not depend on how long you keep holding the power button so that it starts.
  Anyone facing this problem.

  Thank you.

  What exactly do you mean by does not start?
  Is this means that the laptop has been closed or has been set to standby or hibernation mode?

  Are you able to see the Toshiba start screen when you switch on the device?
  If fans hang on this means that the laptop has been put under tension, and then you the OS should start to initialize.

  PS: usually it s no matter how long the power button could be pressed. Briefly press (1 sec) should turn on the laptop.
  But if you do not want to power OFF using the Notepad works / stop, then you will need to tap more long time 4 sec long but it is not recommended that this reset should be made only if the OS hang

  Hello

  The failure of RAM could be the reason for this behavior of the laptop.
  Remove the RAM modules with good modules tested and check the functionality of the laptop.
  In the case of RAM isn t the troublemaker, the motherboard could be affected.
