T420s does not start. "Fan Error" appears with two beeps

Lenovo Thinkpad t420s

To the power, it goes to the ThinkVantage screen becomes black with "Fan Error" then stops.

Using the ThinkVantage button has no effect.

Everything was working fine a few hours ago, but now it seems that the main CPU (left rear) fan is no longer running.

Is it watered or could there be a way to solve this problem?

When the fan error fires always your fan or the motherboard is at fault and would require repairs under warranty.

  • T420 does not start with 2 x 4 GB of RAM (two identical RAM)

    Hi all

    I have a weird problem that I hope you will be able to help me with.
    My T420 came with 1x4Go of ram (below the keyboard) and I wanted to switch to 2 x 4 GB of RAM so even once, I bought exactly the same RAM.

    The two Rams work well by themselves, in the Bay under the keyboard as well as in the Bay under the laptop. The two RAM been tested individually the two RAM slots. The laptop works very well with either the RAM individually in one of the RAM slots.

    BUT if I put them both at the same time, the T420 does not start. It turns on (screen remains black) and instantly switches back off. Without pushing any button, the T420 will then turn itself back on about 3-5 seconds later. This process repeats indefinitely. I don't even see the ThinkPad security screen where you can access BIOS. I changed the RAM autour in slots, but this does not solve the problem either.

    I never had something like this before. Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this?

    Thank you much in advance.

  • Firefox does not start, no error message, only works in the background

    I click on Firefox it does not start

    I have re installed it but nothing changes

    It is possible that your security (firewall, antivirus) software blocks or limit Firefox or the process of plugin-container without you inform, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

    See you soon!

    Hello

    I think we can exclude HARD disk failure because you are able to format it in another computer.
    As you suggest the RAM modules has been replaced but the problem persists
    So in my opinion, a motherboard problem would be possible

    But as you know, it of really difficult to say what might be exactly wrong
    I think that the technician should check the laptop then it would be possible to say what part is malfunctioning

    In any case, I think a motherboard might be affected

    Hey Horrie.

    Have you tried to start Firefox in Mode safe? Key 'shift' startup of Firefox. If the accident is not in Mode without failure, you should read the extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common troubleshooting Firefox problems.

  • Internet Explorer and games does not start; no error message.

    Hi, I had a lot of problems with my computer lately, and it's the last that I have not been able to solve.  I'm running the 64 bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium in a computer, I implemented last summer (the motherboard is an ASUS P5N - D for details).  I recently decided to bathe my HDD Seagate on fire right through a "boot and nuke" program, hoping to relieve a massive corruption of Windows file.  I had a few difficulties, reinstallation of Windows through my installation disc - is now on his third relocation, because I found myself in the limbo of the repair to start due to corrupted registry errors the first two times (although Windows went perfectly fine as a first step, the problem is presented when you restart).  On the last installation, I could run long enough to reacquire all my drivers through the internet, and I even managed to install and play a game for a while.

    When I turned off my computer had 53 updates to Windows Installer.  Let them install and when I started it this morning, Windows wouldn't start.  I used the system restore, Windows and then stop again updates give a chance more (I think that they have perhaps been interrupted the first time).  Now, Windows starts correctly, but I can't run my game.  More worrying is that I can't run internet explore.  I tried MS Paint and Windows Media Player and both of these applications are running.  But in the two aforementioned applications, the pointer changes to indicate they're loading a moment and then returns to its normal appearance without loading anything or provide an unique error message.  I opened the Task Manager and watched list applications that I began them - both appear in the handler for a fraction of a second before disappearing without warning.  I have no idea what is the cause and would be very grateful some advice thereon before yielding to frustration and buy a new hard drive.  Thank you.

    Go, I found to open the newspaper is to copy on your desktop (for this, you will need the Admin password) then right click to copy file and 'open with '. Use an editor, I think that the default value in the list is Notepad. Uncheck "always use" that you can't always open these log files in Notepad.

    The problem is that they are not so easy to decipher.

    Have a read of http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833, this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228 (for Vista but should give an idea) and http://www.sevenforums.com/general-discussion/56234-make-cbs-log-useable.html to give an idea.

    The "SFC / verifyonly" does what it says, it does and just detects and reports errors through the newspaper. You can run the command to actually verify and repair errors, but to be honest, I don't know enough about the in's and out of it. I guess it must fix the errors it finds, but I am not sure if there are disadvantages to it. Experts from the SFC SC around?

    I don't think that an information event is usually nothing to worry about, its errors and warnings that can give advice to any potential problems. If you open the error/warning message there is sometimes a link goes to MS who occasionally provides assistance on what to do next. Then click on one of the errors and look for the 'more information' link.

    Have you tried 3, 5, 6 of my first post, & Esp 5. It is possible that your user account is 'pickled :-) ". "rather than the whole system and creating a new test user all might be fine." It is not certain or guaranteed, but shouldn't take long to check.

    It seems that something is damaged somewhere, so maybe try something else is a check disk scan. Open Explorer, right-click your HDs (one at a time), tools, and then click "error checking".

    EDIT - one think more away, you have an AV Checker updated running? Start in safe mode with networking, the errors still occur then (i.e. can you open IE now)? Once in safe mode, see if you can update your AV checker and run a full scan.

    Hello William Beattie,.

    1. did you restart the computer after you complete the steps?

    I suggest that you restart your computer after you complete the steps. If you already have, I suggest that you restart the computer again. Any changes made to the registry would be effective only on a reboot.

    I also suggest that you perform the same steps and check the registry again and restart the computer.

    Once you restart the computer, try to start the service and check if you are able to boot.

  • PC does not start: fans increasingly turn upwards at the beginning!

    Hi all

    I have a Compaq CQ5335fr that worked very well for a few years (3).

    Then one day he went suddenly and would not start more:

    When I turn it on, fans (CPU and chassis) begin to run for 15 seconds and then they stop turning. Only the fan keeps spinning GPU. I'm still blue and orange lights on the front of the desktop computer.

    Usually, I push the power button upwards until he died. Then when I restart, same thing!

    I have tried the following with NO SUCCESS:

    -clean & dust parts

    -Reset CMOS

    -Bought a different PSU

    -Play with DIMM (put one by one, reverse, etc..)

    -Disconnected all components and reconnect a
    - And a few other desperate things
    -Put the drive in another computer to check if the data is there: OK (although he had ' cant' access ' errors at the beginning)
    Nothing has worked.

    NOW I NEED YOUR HELP TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM TO SOLVE IT!
    Thank you in advance.

    Hello

    Just a quick updte on this issue.

    I ended up buying another motherboard (not HP) and installed. But I got problems to start so I reinstalled windows but could not repair startup.

    I did a new install (kkeping my old files in a folder Windows.old). Now reinstall any software I really need and everything works perfectly.

    I activated my license and it worked! Thjat I was afraid of but seems there is nothing to worry about.

    So I'm going to mark it as RESOLVED.

    Thanks to everyone who helped or read this thread!

    Any other advice would be greatly appreciated...

    Hello yan_dao69,

    I suggest that you try the methods below to solve the problem.

    Method 1:

    I suggest that you run the printer troubleshooter. This will automatically diagnose and fix printing problems:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-printer-Troubleshooter

    Ideally, this would set the print spooler service issues.

    Method 2:

    I suggest that you disable the Antivirus software temporarily and verify if you are able to start the print spooler service. You can check the link that will give you information disable antivirus below:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

    Note: Please make sure that you enable the antivirus software after the test to keep your computer protected.

    Method 3:

    Check the dependency of the spooler services in the registry.

    a. Click Start, type regedit in the search box and press ENTER.

    b. look for, and then click the following registry key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Spooler

    c. right-click on spooler, click Export, save a backup file on your desktop.

    NOTE: If an unforeseen problem be encountered after changing the registry, please double-click on the file to restore the backup.

    d. in the details pane, if the DependOnService value shows values of RPCSS and other key, right-click DependOnService and then click on edit.

    e. in the value data box, delete the other keys and then click OK.

    f. exit the registry editor.

    Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

  • After a custom Windows 7 installed on a Toshiba Satellite P105-S6084, my audio device does not start. Error code: this device cannot start. (Code 10)

    I got driver Conexant speakers on my laptop. I tried to find a device driver updates, but have had no luck. After being in Control Panel, hardware and audio, Device Manager, sound, video and game controllers, under that is high definition Audio Device with a yellow triangle and!.

    After a right click and update driver, it says that the driver is up-to-date. In addition, the error code says this device cannot start (Code 10)

    In addition, this seems to be a driver of Microsoft when the original driver was Toshiba/Conexant. I looked on the support Web site of Toshiba for a driver updated for my laptop and Windows 7.

    Any suggestions?

    Umesh P,.

    Thank you for answering my question. I don't know that this forum allows you to stay busy. Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.

    To sum up, I checked the Windows Audio and Windows Audio EndPoint Builder according to your instructions. Both were running as usual and start automatically, so it wasn't the issue.

    I then visited Fix It. On the web page, since I am under Windows 7, the instructions on the provided web page to access the control panel and through system and security, to try to resolve the problem to fix common computer problems.

    This process led me through the same re-setup of the device through Windows 7 driver that failed previously. Also because it has detected Windows 7, the web page would allow me to run the Fix It program.

    When I visited the Support from Toshiba web page you provided, I was unable to find a sound driver for Windows 7. After filtering through my computer on their web page, the nearest driver was for Vista.

    Take a chance, I downloaded it anyway. What has been the worst that could happen? It does not work? Well, I was there already. In any case, the installation worked and I now the audio again.

    Moreover, this is the link for the driver, for anything that might be in a similar situation I've been:

    driver_audio_conexant_25636A.exe

    -or-

    Also, Conexant offers no direct audio driver support and ask you to check with the manufacturer, which in my case is Toshiba. Toshiba not currently has an audio driver Windows 7 for my particular Satellite phone. Since this is an older, they can't come out with an updated driver.

    But, since the audio driver Vista download works, it is now a non-issue.

    Thank you!

  • Tecra A8 - does not start, led is flashing with hex message

    Hello

    My computer will not start and there is a flashing orange led light...

    There are * short 4 *, then * 4 long * light

    ==> in hexadecimal: * 0F *.

    But I have found no documentation on the * led error codes *...

    Help me please!

    Hello

    > ==> in hexadecimal: 0F
    You are right.

    > there are 4 short and then 4 fire long
    That would mean: 0000 1111
    Due to the least significant bit, must read this by behind: 1111 0000-> F0H

    Unfortunately, there is no document published in the Toshiba page on error code meaning
    I guess only the Toshiba ASP (certified partner) might provide these details and information.

    I would recommend so get in touch with the local ASP to get some information about the error.
    But to be honest, these errors are mainly related to a question on the motherboard and in this case mobo must be replaced.
