Stuck at the screen of the POST - R500

I have a R500 that one of my users has me just. It is stuck on the screen of the POST (ThinkPad splash) and does not respond to any keys pressed. I tried holding down the blue button "ThinkVantage" while turning on and still no response.

I pulled the hard drive and plugged into another machine to be excluded as a possible problem. Which works very well. It seems that the system must be suspended during any of these POST I can't even access the start menu or the BIOS settings.

Any help would be greatly appreciated so that I can get this user online.

A quick search on Google and I've already found my solution. A broken USB port is to blame. Looks like it's a problem on early model R series machines. Here is a link to the post where I found my solution.

The Studio build process is now out of the picture. You can then copy or import the virtual machine to your platform of choice virtualization, power, install your application, closing. And copy (or distribute) the VM whenever you want.

  • Stuck on the screen of HP recovery and cannot start windows

    HP Pavilion
    Model: 17 - 1215dx

    If you need the serial number or the fn, just ask. I didn't post too much sensitive information.

    It was originally 10 64-bit windows... but now has 8.1 Windows 64-bit
    i5 8gig of RAM processor

    Literally just close the lid and open it upwards and it wouldn't boot windows. It is stuck at the screen HP saying it's diagnose my problem. Tried a soft reset and a hard reset when you remove the battery and put it again while it is unplugged. Did not help. I can't start in safe mode. I tried to do a restore which has been a success but it restarts when he says "there was a problem, restart your PC. I'm frustrated and reset a factory and the same factory reset was successful and was when he came back to 8.1 because it's the OS, I bought it with but then it still wouldn't let me in windows. I was going to try and start to repair, but if I had known this would require an administrator I'd never have done the factory reset. I know I've been reckless, but I just wanted to work. But yes, I don't know what the problem is. I feel like if it was a hardware problem is just something to keep windows to operate. Should I try a repair disk? Would that help?

    The SecretLight

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    I read your post you need to grab your laptop and wanted to help - but we need more information.

    You said that your laptop came originally with Win10, but then later, you said you tried to go back to Win8.1, you can then said, it's the original OS.

    So, who was the original - Win8.1 or Win10?

    Ask because if it came with Win8.1 and you UPGRADED to Win10, while Microsoft tells you that there is no risk in the upgrade of Win10, because they allow you to believe that you can always go back to your original OS and setup within 30 days, the ugly matter faction is that the Win10 GoBack feature turned out to be unreliable - and when it fails She can let the machines in a corrupt State - which is not always the case, it happens often enough to be a problem, but you will get no warning beforehand that he goes to the trash your PC!

    The Win10 upgrade is known, in some cases, corrupt the partition of recovery that are stored by the OEM that built the original machine.  It's pretty much guarantee that no HP recovery will work.

    What will work restores your computer to its original factory state using HP recovery media. It is a set of DVD and a CD or a USB key, which will erase the hard drive (removing all data, applications and settings, reinstall the original OS, drivers and utilities for HP. In some cases, you will be able to order a USB instead of discs.  You must order at HP; they cannot be downloaded.

    You can look online for recovery from the paged media related: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers

    Once there, enter your product name or number. On your software page and download the drivers, select your operating system and version. Click on "Update".  If the HP recovery support is available for your computer, down near the bottom of the page, you will see an entry for the command Recovery Media-CD/DVD/USB. Click on the symbol '+' to expand this entty and click on order to press for more details.

    Or, if you prefer, you can do the same by contacting HP Customer Service:

    If you live in the United States or the Canada, details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/phone-assist.html#section1

    If you live elsewhere, contact details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-contact-us.html

    NOTE: once you get through, stay on the line until you are finally able to talk to someone ' one - it can take a while!

I've updated the BIOS and it seemed that nothing was happening then loaded windows. My antivirus has been turned off and need to restart the computer now its stuck on the black screen turned on again. Help, please!

    Hi @Jaxibrey,

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems, with the help of the community!

    I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked into your problem on your HP ENVY laptop and having starting problems.  Try to make a hard reset.

    When you perform a hard reset note remove all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices.

    Here is a link to put the laptop in Safe Mode. Then you can do a System Restore. System Restore will help if something is automatically updated and wasn't on the laptop. You may need to consider a few days before that the issue that has happened.

    Here is a link to computer does not start for Windows.

    Plug the adapter directly into a different wall socket. Do not connect it a power strip, surge arrester, or secondary power source as this could cause and issue.

    Please let me know how it goes.

  • Laptop stuck on the screen to "prepare the AutoFix.

    My laptop HP a few months came pre-installed with windows 8. When I tried to start it this morning it came with the screen to "Prepare the automatic repair" and is pasted on it. It is not off or change to a different screen as "scan your computer. I'm sure that it does not start in safe mode by pressing f8 or shift + f8, Ive tried several times. I don't know what to do because it's just stuck on the same screen "prepare auto repair.

    This is not a good thing. The long test. Post the results here.

    The result of the test is indicative of a hard disk failure requiring the replacement of the hard disk.

    Contact HP for a replacement under warranty hard drive. You will need the failure status code providing for the drive test hard when you contact HP.

    It's time to find your set of recovery disks. You will need to install the operating system and the software that came with your laptop.

  • Product key not recognized during a repair of xp pro sp2 on a genuine xp pro sp2 disk. stuck on the main screen of the product.

    After starting problems on my Toshiba satellite with xp pro sp2, I booted my xp pro sp2 disk and did a repair instead of a reinstall software.  He went through the motions, removed the sys files, copied them back and so on.  Then he asked my product key and I typed in it and it does not recognize.  It's a real bought copy of xp pro sp2.  Now, I'm stuck on the main screen of the product.  When I start the laptop on the xp disk it blue screens, the only option I have is to enter a product key in the configuration...  I have my receipt for my xp pro disk and product key for certification sticker.  Help, please!

    "XP MCE Pro? That is not normal! It would be one or the other (AFAIK). Here is an example:

    http://cdn2.ioffer.com/IMG/item/811/353/46/o_XyuQav94U1MQ0Ci.jpg

    If the hybrid you mention is the real thing, it's new to me! I know that some have described as a superset of Pro MCE, but I never used this version, so I can't tell you definitively that a COA sticker wouldn't this combo of terms...

    In addition, the term 'Enterprise Edition' implies something not legitimate. I do not think that Microsoft has never used the term marketing for Windows.

    If you had a legitimate retail version of Windows XP (any version) that is not used on another PC, you can perform a Clean Install (not a repair installation), using this key (not the key COST laptop). The only way you can use the key from your laptop COST would be if you used the correct installation CD - a generic OEM version of the corresponding XP (MCE?) version. In this way, you can perform a clean installation or a repair installation.

    Have you looked at the links I posted? What do you mean by "boot option? The instructions were to press the zero key while turning on the laptop. You are not supposed to enter the OS! The recovery partition is quite distinct.

    If your laptop does not a recovery partition, you should be able to get the correct recovery CD for this Toshiba - by Toshiba or you might need to find a reputable eBay merchant, etc.. Restoredisks.com, who has a good rating from Better Business Bureau, they probably sold too.

  • 421SO HP G61: stuck at the blue login screen

    Hello.

    I have a problem with my laptop, a model of 421SO G61, and the question is showed in a Youtube video.

    Link: https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=Y7FIDt9SonQ

    The problem occurred after that I left my cousin played the Sims 4. She said that after she closed the Sims 4, a window appears and it has clicked away and stop the laptop. The next day I started it and it got stuck on the screen that is shown in the video. She unfortunately can't remember what has shown the window pop up.

    I tried to reset hard, leaving the rest of the laptop computer for 24 hours to reset the BIOS settings and to test (who first succeeded and only shows not all errors) and leave it on for 1 hour + to try to let it load.

    I have a theory that the hard drive is ruin or the operating system does not sort properly load.

    As I can't access the hard drive and the data in it, how this issue can be fixed without losing all the data important and meaningful; for example images?

    Thank you!

  • Computer not finding networks, stuck on the Logging Off screen in Vista

    For the past two weeks, if I simply close my laptop while it is running, most of the time when I try to open it up my wireless network does not connect automatically. I have to click 'Connect to' in my Start menu and manually connect to the network. The only problem is, sometimes it will fail to find a network and when I try to manually go to 'Connect to', it does nothing. Nothing comes up at all. I have to restart my computer. Once I try to restart, it sticks on the screen "Logging Off". I also tried to disconnect just opened a session back, but it's still stuck on this screen. I am then forced to make a hard closed down by holding down the power button.

    Any ideas?

    See the article below for instructions on how to start your computer in a clean boot state.
    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
    Hello
     
    1. you broadcast the SSID of the wireless network?
    2. have you idea of changing the settings of the preferred wireless networks?
     
    Method 1.
    Try to change the order in which your computer connects to the network.
    The list of networks connected to before is sometimes referred to as your preferred wireless networks or your preferred list.
    a. open manage wireless networks by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, click Network and Internet, click Network and sharing Center, and then, in the left pane, click on manage wireless networks.
    b. your saved wireless networks is displayed. To change the order in which your computer connects to networks, drag the networks upwards or downwards in the list.
    c. to change preferences for the network, right-click the network, and then click Properties.
     

    Method 3.
    Also the question of trial in the State of clean boot and check. You can also check the shutdown problems in the boot.

  • Stuck on the profile screen after Windows update

    After that a windows update last night, my computer is stuck on the profile screen and I can not connect.  By clicking on the icons for different accounts does not bring to the top of the login screen where I can enter a password. The screen just flashes and the wheel spins for a while and then comes back to the profile screen. I tried to boot into the different security modes but same thing happens and I can not connect. I also tried to fix the computer and restart at the last known good configuration under boot options with the same results. Short to reset the default settings that will erase all my data, (which may or may not work) is there another fix?  It seems that windows is starting up, but just the login screen appear so I can enter my password.  I have windows 7 Home premium version.

    Hello

    Please provide detailed information about your question. I appreciate the step by step troubleshooting, and pain that you have taken to resolve your problem.

    If the Panel username and password is not displayed during logon and the problem persists even in safe mode, then the question could be if there is a corrupted file system or some third party conflicts.

    I suggest that you want to run auto repair with installation media and see if it helps you repair system files. For the execution of the task, I suggest you to try the steps below and see if it helps.

    Method 1

    When you use the recovery environment (Windows RE) to troubleshoot startup issues, first try the Startup Repair option in the System Recovery Options dialog box. If this does not resolve the problem, or if you have additional problems manually, use the Bootrec.exe tool.

    Because you cannot start the computer, you may need to create a bootable Windows installation media, and then do an auto repair, and if this does not help then you try to restore your computer to the previous date.

    Note: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    If you are using Windows 7 and you have the product key and then the link provided below might help you to download and create installation media if you do not.

    Download Windows 7 Disk Images (ISO files)

    Method 2

    If the problem persists, try to rebuild the BCD by using the Bootrec.exe tool. To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start Windows recovery environment (Windows RE) . To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Place the Windows 7 installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.
    2. Press a key when you are prompted. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.
    3. Click repair your computer.
    4. Click the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
    5. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt.
    6. Type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.

    See the following link for more information:

    How to use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows recovery environment to troubleshoot and repair startup issues in Windows

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/927392

    Hope it would help. If problem persists always post back with the current state of your computer and the result of the proposed suggestion, we will be happy to help you.
