T420s no power, flashing Led power - does not start

My 2 month old T420s refuses to boot from this morning.

After pressing the power button, it starts flashing Alternatively the light of the power button and the LED fingerprint reader.

Nothing else happens, no fan starts to run, or anything else.

I have not changed anything since yesterday when it is started without any problems.

Anyone know what this could be?

  • Flash 9 plugin does not start if not focused tab!

    I've been struggling with Flash to do what he has always done well and does now with incompetence: play.

    The music player on my website is designed to automatically load the following URL it does. The problem is that the Flash object does not start until you manually open the browser and then bring the focus to the tab of that page with the Flash object. I want the Flash to automatically start for my visitors, if the my site tab is in is not centered and the window of the browser is not yet to the point! IE automatically plays the Flash object but using Flash 7 as Opera and Firefox using Flash 9. Rather than rebuild about 100 flash objects from scratch, I want to just find a way to make it work! Here's my Flash settings who have had absolutely no effect regardless of what values I give them...

  • Flash Player 10 does not work in some sites, works well in others

    Lately I had problems to visualize videos with Flash Player on many sites in which they considered much earlier. What I see is a solid black rectangle the size of the video screen. No player controls. Nothing. I looked at the code of the page, but found nothing out of the ordinary. The system on this machine is XP Pro with SPII, and the problem occurs whether you use IE 8 or Firefox 3.6.3. The screen showed 'about' that I had Falsh Player 10.0.32.18 installed on my system, so I downloaded 10.0.45.2 and installed, hoping that would solve the problem. Nope.

    Currently goes http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ via either IE of Firefox watch I have correctly installed the version 10.0.45.2. The animation plays well in both browsers.

    Today one of my friends is a graduate of Temple University in the Japan, the graduation ceremony was broadcast live (03:30 in the morning my time). I couldn't watch it. This site has been http://www.tuj.ac.jp/graduation2010/video.html hosting site is UStream, specifically http://www.ustream.tv/channel/tuj-2010-graduation I can not all videos on UStream to open. All I see is a black rectangle. My friend's mother had no problem viewed the ceremony with Firefox on his laptop computer.

    Other sites that worked well recently but no longer ply videos at all on this system are Fox News and NBC News. I have no problem watching Al Jazeera news videos, but videos post on UTube. I have no problem, watch videos on UTube. BBC News videos will work also perfectly, as do many other sites videos. It makes no difference if I accept or block cookies on the sites that cnnot play videos. What is different on these sites than others?

    I read that two related discussions here, not a problem with sites loading Flash... and Flash videos does not not on espn.com in any browser , but none of them had any relevant help to my problem. Re: videos not working not not on espn.com in any browser Flash Re: Player does not start The second thread was a problem loading videos from ESPN, giving the site

    http://espn.go.com/video/category?id=3461971 for example. but I have no problem watching videos on this site or any other videos on ESPN. Instructions given in the first thread that is supposed to remove several files in the C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash folder, but I had none of the files lilsted.

    Is there something in my registry that needs to be changed? Is there something that my antivirus (Bitstream) program may have killed? I really want to solve this problem.

    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.

    Good luck and share your experience with us.

    Any IDE?

    Hello

    I agree with go.
    The ASP would be able to tell what means error.

    Usually means short and 1 long: 0
    So the error must be: 1010 1010
    Due to the last significant bit (LSB), to be read by behind:
    So it now means: * 0101 0101 binary *-> it must be converted to hexadecimal-> * 55 Hex *.

    Then, you will get a hex code.
    But unfortunately, I m not very well which could mean this code

    So ask ASP for help!

  • Satellite 1800-814 does not start if the power adapter is plugged

    Hello
    I have a problem with my 3 year old, 1800-814.
    It all started with the sudden Windows crashes. He ran sometimes smooth, sometimes he just hung up. So I decided to reinstall the laptop. My problem is when it is plugged by pressing the power on button does not start the laptop. Just the green light is on nothing else happens. Sometimes it starts after a wait of 3 or 5 seconds. On battery it starts every time. What can I do? A defect material or just dust somewhere?

    Thank you

    Hello

    It could also be something wrong with the electronic power supply on the motherboard.
    It s is not possible for the user to fix it. In such cases, the best way is to contact Toshiba service in your country.

  • Why Satellite Pro A300 does not start when you press the power button?

    Suddenly my new Satellite Pro A300 does not start correctly when you press the power button. The situation is the following: when I press the power button is displayed the opening of Toshiba (Leading Innovation) and the disappers image quickly. Then there is a black screen for about 30 seconds. There is a rectangular frame with the text Microsoft Corporation under. And nothing happens however long wait.

    In order to get with the trial starting I then shut down the computer by pressing the power button until the computer turns off. ("The hard way to close")
    Now, I press the power button shortly to turn on the computer. Then, the computer starts normally with the photo to open Toshiba and after a few seconds, I wonder to open the computer in safe mode or in normal mode. I now choose to open in normal mode and the computer opens normally and is ready to work.

    What should I do to get a normal departure procedure?

    When the laptop starts normally (after choosing normal mode) stop your laptop properly using START > shut down option. Next launch should be normal.

    When the OS is moving towards the low irregularly will always ask you how to start this new (secure or normal mode).
    The same thing happen on my Satellite A300.

  • 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

  • Pavilion HPE H8-1121: Pavilion HPE H8-1121 - new graphics card + power supply does not start after screen HP (Revisited)

    I have the same problem as this post 2013!  Ouch. Pavilion HPE H8-1121 - new map chart + power supply, does not start after HP screen.

    I installed a new power supply (Seasonic 620W), which works well.  I also installed a GTX 660Ti last year and it was works fine as well.  I recently bought a ZOTAC GTX 970 and attempted to install it, but it will not go beyond the blue HP screen and I get the same code of beeps (1 long, 3 short), who, seems, suggests that the video is not initialized.

    My BIOS date is 2011.

    Where can I find an update for this?

    I'm also using Windows 10, which I found on the HP site is not tested on my model and would probably not favourable to good use.  Should I do back up to 7 or 8?  and then update the BIOS?  Y at - it a update for my BIOS and where can I find.

    In any case, I hope that this is a solution.  Again, this is not a bad machine to be 5 years old.

    Thanks for any help!

    If the video card that you have purchased dose not a legacy vBIOS it will never start. An update of the BIOS doesn't solve that.

    It is likely that your new video card has a vBIOS UEFI and that only is for the PC motherboards newer than yours which have a UEFI BIOS. Your motherboard has a legacy BIOS. 2012 is the year of model when the UEFI BIOS more or less became the de facto on motherboards standard.

    I return it for a refund. Find the candidate of video cards that support the old BIOS. It can be inherited only or switchable vBIOS (legacy or UEFI) vBIOS.  I suggest looking at the site of Sapphire Technology. ZoTac is not known to provide enough information about their video cards in the way. You upgrade a pre-built desktop PC and it's different and a little more difficult to set up a DIY PC. I looked at the site of Zotac and see that nothing is said about their video vBIOS cards.  I would return to the map.  Carefully read the specifications of the video card. A candidate for your motherboard card must have inherited vBIOS support or simply, it won't work.

    ZOTAC (they don't say anything about their product vBIOS)

    https://www.ZOTAC.com/us/product/graphics_card/GTX-970-amp-extreme-core

    Sapphire Technology

    http://www.sapphiretech.com/catapage_pd.asp?cataid=305&lang=eng

    Because you look at game with 4 GB cards. Take a look at the following map. It has a double vBIOS. legacy and UEFI. http://www.sapphiretech.com/productdetial.asp?pid=640A98CD-0CF0-4191-B75C-CA2800111ADB&lang=eng

  • Vista does not start after power failure

    It is a Dell Inspiron 1525 with Vista 32 - bit, recently replaced hard drive

    My daughter has been using the computer and the power failed due to low battery.  Now, the computer does not start normally and not all programs will run.

    If I choose "safe mode", it hangs on crcdisk
    If I choose 'window start normally' it crashes to the screen of Microsoft Corporation
    If I choose "last known good configuration" then it seems to start normally, but does not all programs run.

    I tried to boot from the OS disk, but it ignores the entire disk
    I tried to run the installation disk once the computer is running, but it freezes.

    Need solutions.  Thank you.

    Hello Bakajanaidesu,

    Hi moozer_890


    1 during how long have you had this problem?

    Method 1 :

    Also check if you have any exclamation point or cross the marks on the sides of display devices listed in Device Manager.

    a. click Startand then click Control Panel.

    Note If Control Panel is in Classic view, double-click System, and then click Device Manager.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.

    c. in the Manager device, expand display driver, display devices, right-click and then click on Properties and on the driver tab, click Uninstall.

    d. When you are prompted to confirm that you want to remove the device, click OK.

    e. restart the computer.

    After the computer restarts, the drivers will be installed automatically.

    Method 2:

    If the problem persists I suggest you to check if you install the latest updated driver on the manufacturer's Web site, then check.
