T410 - fan starts, HD begins, then the fan stops

Hi all

My screen had been flickering for some time now, especially since I moved the lid. I assumed it was a bad connection somewhere so I took the case out to see if I could solve the problem. Of course, now the problem is worse--why else would I post here!

With the housing to open, I plugged the keyboard back in and power the computer on. As the title suggests, flashes the light reading on the top of the cover, the fan turns on, then HD lights. But after 3-5 seconds, the fan turns off. The HD is still on, and I suppose that the processor still works because the radiator heats up. The green light on the keyboard is still on. Nothing appears on the screen. Even with an external monitor is connected, it does not work.

I now go back the case and your suggestions! Thanks in advance!

@Orangenation,

You have all the connections placed back together? Check if you "cut out" any of the wires?

Try to go through the HMM for the T410 and see if you might miss all the connectors.

    If you encounter this flicker, then the next troubleshooting step is to restore from a backup. If the behavior persists after the restore, then the last step is the factory restore. If after the factory restore and adding no additional content, you see always this problem, then you must make an appointment at the Genius Bar to the nearest Apple store or service provider authorized Apple to have the material examined. If the behavior goes after the factory restore, then sync again your content manually, without using the backup. It seems to me it's corrupted content in the backup.

    I guess you wanted to ask how to solve the problem. If then all in Safe Mode you can use system restore to set up Windows to a point when the problem did not exist.

  • Cannot load games 'Titanic', 'Travel' - no message just a flicker on the screen, then the game stops. On "Death on the nile" error - latest version of directx. On 'Peril at End House' error - last need direct 3d.

    I have win7, Windows Home premium 64-bit on an HP Pavilion Elite I - 7 core intel and Gateway screen (fx2300). After the last update for windows and ATI, I had problems to read my games - some don't is not loading, some give me access violations, others do not go full-screen. Oh, now I can no longer adjust the resolution of my screen for anything other than the highest or lowest values acceptable (everthing in between is blocked).  I have supported the ATI update several times, but it takes to watch TV in hd. I worked with HP to install and reinstall the ATI update and update of the last window. Whenever errors are different on my games. Initially, they were access violations and some games would not work, I have the update and reinstall it and other games would get the access violation? Now I can't load games 'Titanic', 'Travel', 'Nancy Drew - lights camera curses'. -No message, just a flickering on the screen, then the game ends. On "Death on the nile" error - latest version of directx. On 'Peril at End House' error - last need direct 3d. I have directx 11. All my games worked at the beginning of April. .  I have directx 11.

    First thing to do would be to check the compatibility of the individual games that you are trying to play the Windows 7 Compatibility Center.

    Here is the link:

    https://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/default.aspx

    Then, DO NOT ever update the drivers through Windows Update. Always install the drivers from the manufacturer's website.

    Is your Windows 7 install an upgrade of Windows Vista?

    Titanic, travel, etc. - are these games, bigfish, BTW?

    If so, contact them.

    I feel ultimately that your user account may have got corrupted somehow.

    Create a new user account and check if you can play the games there.

    If so, fix the damaged user account.

  • Videos like AOL, start to play, then the video blanks out and the audio continues. If I run Firefox in 'Safe' Mode, it works. Disabling plug-ins does not work

    TED talks, videos, AOL and others will start with a flash of the video, then off. The audio continues. I deleted the plugins flash and quicktime - no luck. I restarted Firefox in safe mode and it works fine. I then rebooted and disabled all the plugins - no luck. Internet Explorer works fine.
    Any ideas?

    One of the characteristics of Safe Mode is that it disables use of Firefox hardware acceleration of graphics. This method works around incompatibilities with some graphics driver software.

    the button Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) > Options > advanced

    In the mini ' General' tab, uncheck the box for "use hardware acceleration when available.

    It takes effect after you quit and then restart Firefox.

  • Cannot log on my laptop without hitting F5 (as the starter), F8 and then the last good known Configuration

    When I turn on my laptop, the login page happens, but when I enter my password, it just re-boots. Then, he returned to the login page, where it does the same thing. So, it just goes back to the login page again and again and again. I tried restoring the system repeatedly.

    The only way I can connect on my laptop is by pressing F5 when starting, F8 then, last known good Configuration. I do everytime I turn on my laptop! It is very annoying. If I download anything, it saves it, but whenever I upgrade my web browser, upgrade disappears the next time I turn on my laptop.

    Backup your data and do a Windows factory restore.

    Most laptops and many OEM desktop computers (HP, Sony, etc.) come with a picture of factory restore on a special partition on the hard drive. The factory restore process is normally called by pressing a key of function (such as F11) to start the computer. There will be a message as to what function key press the screen when you start your computer. You can also consult the manual of your computer or the computer mftr.'s site, or contact technical support to learn how to restore your computer if you plant from each computer mftr. He does it differently - sometimes even between models.

    These machines also generally have a utility to create physical recovery disks in case the hard drive needs to be replaced or the factory restore image is somewhat damaged. If you have not created the recovery image recovery physical and/or damaged disks, contact technical support of computer mftr. to order a set of recovery disks. It is normally very expensive, around $20-25. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

    When I want to watch a video on internet video to stop and start all along.

    This is usually caused by the speed of download is not unable to cope with the speed of playback, the video must stop from time to time to load more download in a temporary cache. This only happens for some videos or videos? If you have a video problem url, that you can post, anyone here can check for you. If the video is a type of swf/flv files often used by YouTube, MySpace, etc. news organizations you can often allow the video to play completely. Then, without moving away from the page, replay the video. Often, the video will always be in a temporary cache on the computer and will now play without stopping. Now, the videos are not well suited for a connection by modem and require some kind of csble or connection DSL broadband to play well most of the time.

  • HP Pavilion dv5237cl Notebook intermittently Shuts Down Due to a thermal event, fan stops working

    Basics:

    HP Pavilion dv5237cl

    Windows XP SP3 32 bit

    PCMCIA SATA card

    1 TB WD Scorpio blue HARD drive

    Computer laptop with 200mm fan cooling pad

    Some USB devices

    Latest drivers and BIOS

    Note: This problem also occurs with Windows 8.

    For the last year my HP Pavilion dv5237cl turned off because of the fan does not work.  I have never seen the term "Thermal event" displayed prior to or on restart.  Usually just abruptly, he died.   I also saw a few BSOD that are not very descriptive to pointing to what the cause was and may be not related.  The laptop usually just stops working and goes out, maybe once every couple of days if it is caught in time.  I HAV been using a Defragmenter memory to help as appropriate the BSOD were due to low memory resources.  I am tracking the temperature of the CPU and have noticed that it is high, when the fan is not working.  I saw up to 85 C and I'm not sure but think that the laptop stops at 100 ° C.  The fan is usually always go at least to a low hum.  Usually, on startup, I get a strong burst of activity fan and if this isn't the case I'm clued in to a fan, not to exploit the condition.

    If I take a PIN regularly and carefully stitch it through the opening in the fan and cause rotate the blades of the fan, the fan will usually start working.  It sometimes takes a few tries.  I noticed the fan poll as it is sometimes wobbling and resembling a noise of ball bearing, but I think it is also maybe a hinged fan.  Some hopping may be due to the time that I used the pin code.  Fan usually settled in a low purr and lately with some ball light bering sound, maybe just wobble.  If I'm not there when the fan stops working or do not notice to try to remedy with a PIN, then the laptop stops due to excessive heat.

    Things I've tried or thought of trying:

    -J' I used canned and out air / blow accumulated debri from inside the vacuum cleaner to suck up and cleaned the vents.

    -J' I add the cooler that keeps time less around 5 c.  The laptop temperature was 55 to 62 C this winter.

    -Install the latest drivers and BIOS.

    -Tried to use Windows 8.

    -J' bought a replacement fan but did not want to disassemble the laptop to install it and also not be

    not know if it is really a material fan or a control sensor or other hardware problem or software problem.

    Thanks in advance.  Help to solve this problem would be appreciated.

    I understand that your laptop stops due to overheating.

    Given the behavior and how the fan no longer works and must be "started" once again, this does not sound like a fan failure.  Page 5-60 of this guide details the process of replacing the fan and the heatsink in Notepad.  If this is something you'd rather not do it yourself, you could contact a local PC shop for the fan and the heat sink replaced.

  • Start bar begins on a bad office in a multiple monitor configuration.

    I have my Windows 7 Home Premium machine series upwards with two monitors extended desktop display. I'm having a problem where sometimes, when I restart the computer, the start menu begins on the secondary display even if the icons are correctly located on the main display. I have to disable the secondary display and reactivate to solve this problem. It's extremely annoying; y at - it a fix for this problem?

    Rather than the deactivation and reactivation of the secondary display, follow these steps:

    1 - Check that the second screen is defined as primary in the resolution options.

    2 - the next time you experience the misplaced taskbar, unlock the taskbar (by clicking on the right) and then dragging it to the correct location.  The taskbar will remember this post - that it cannot do when it is placed automatically during the installation of multiple monitors.

  • v13.0.3.495 - cannot change the tab stops in the paragraph Designer

    Don't know whether or not it was a problem in recent versions (haven't adjusted the tab stops in a while).

    I have a paragraph format with:

    -First = 0.25 "

    GCH - 0.5 "

    -Tab stop = 0.375 "L

    I tried to change the tab stop on a 0.5 "W, went into the designer of paragraph, under the direction of tab stops, changed the value, you click on continue.

    Paragraph designer reappeared, stop tab value appeared as 0.5 "L for a while, and then returned to 0.375".

    No idea why this is happening or how to fix?

    Thank you.

    I had almost the same problem (also FM 13.03.495) a few weeks ago. I tried to change a tab stop from left to right, aligned. If I remember correctly, I clicked on apply in the paragraph Designer, and then the tab stop setting is returned to its original state.

    I have not noticed that in a single file. Since I couldn't reproduce this with other files, I ignored this problem. I think I've changed this tab stop in another file and copy the paragraph format in the problematic file.

  • T410 doesn't start, white screen and the keyboard does not power on.

    Hi, my laptop Lenovo T410 does not start. I hit the power button and looks like it is about to start. The thinklight flashes on as normal, the cd drive is checked, the caps lock on, then nothing/button blinks. No display and the keyboard does not respond. Power led lights up; If I leave it awhile the fan turns on. Can I stop the machine using the power button, but the problem remains the next time I turn it on.

    I tried to remove power and battery, power 10 button time then with the power to 30 seconds, before replacing the power supply and the battery but nothing happens. I tried to use a different keyboard. I tried to plug in an external monitor. No change.

    This problem appeared after I left it on overnight. I have the feeling that it entered into hybernation mode, perhaps, and that it disturbed some important functions which he could not complete. Not sure if. Any help gratefully received.

    Thank you very much

    I firstly the LCD cable or secondary LED could be damaged, but if you don't see anything on an external monitor I tend to think it's a motherboard problem.
