Tecra M2 - will not start, the power light is on

Hi, I wonder if someone out there could help me with a problem?

I was using my M2 Friday when my friend accidentally hit a very small amount of beverage on the front of my M2, I immediately got up and got a hair dryer on it.

After leaving it an hour I tried to use and everything worked as before which was a great relief, but a day later, I used the M2 to check my e-mail address when all of a sudden went.

The power led is on was still and so was the light that indicates I have a CD player, I tried several times and it wouldn't start, so I went again for a day and yesteday morning it seemed that it was starting up only to freeze on the Windows screen, he then returned and he has not started since.

Could you please give me some advice on what I could do to fix this?

Kind regards

Russ

Hello Russ

Be realistic. What you can do in this situation? Not much! You can try to start the machine. See if you can get into the BIOS and if yes how long the device will remain on. If unit is running for an extended period, you can try to boot from the CD (for example with the recovery media).

You can try to connect as another external HARD drive to another laptop and try to back up all your important data and reinstall the OS. More than that is not possible. If there is an electronic failure, it is not easy to fix on your own and support technical investigation just to see what hardware is damaged.

    My friend has a laptop that does not start at the top. the AC power LED flashes orange. a long, short, long, short, long, short, long, short.

    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!

  • 18 XPS does not start, the power light will not stop flashing

    I was upgrade this computer to Windows 10, I did install one instead, but the children had spyware which even then showing upwards. I did a refresh, there no I did an installation and finally got in windows. Some updates installed and restarted.

    The computer was bricked since. The only thing that happens is the LED which indicates the power above, the button will not stop flashing white light. Connected or not connected, after having held down the power button for 5, 10 and 30 seconds, the led stops flashing for a while and then again. I tried several points of sale. No idea if it is a coincidental breakdown.

    I'll change that.  I went back in and re-removed the cable from the battery.  I also removed the CMOS battery cable this time... I was at least an error message on the screen and access to the BIOS!

  • HP Pavilion will not start the power upward

    I have a HP Pavilion (prod. # GG753AV #ABA) running under Windows 7.

    Power on, the switch lights up blue, fans are taking place but not boot upward and no display

    I tried unpluggin keyboard etc but no luck

    Thanks for any help

    Thanks for getting back to me!

    Make sure that the monitor is on the correct input/source. On the monitor, you should have a Menu button or a button input/Source. The Source of entry/must be set to VGA. If the monitor is set to a different port like DVI or HDMI type, it might be initially to go to sleep because it does not detect plugged into ports. Check and double check the input source.

    Also try reinstalling the RAM, which is just out the RAM and put it back in. If you have 2 sticks of RAM, you can also try to just put one in at a time in each slot to see if the screen lights up.

    I hope this helps. Let me know what you get results.

    Some of the fundamental things include the pram/clock battery replacement

    since they may be dead; then with a power failure, sometimes the Mac

    do not restart. Usual power management unit & reset NVRAM/PRAM are

    methods that sometimes also used as a troubleshooting measure.

    • Reset the Mac chip power management: (see SMU)

    http://www.thexlab.com/FAQs/resetpmchip.html

    • How to reset NVRAM-LANDAU on your Mac - Apple Support

    A hard reset can sometimes be used, where the power is disconnected

    the logic board and power removed from grill; Then push the Start button / stop.

    (But maybe not. Several PowerMac computers, I had, some people found this helpful)

    You may also remove and reposition cards and other items

    the inside of the case, to be sure they are connected properly. Be sure to not

    In short anything, due to the static load or residual power in the circuits.

    The hour is late here, so I'm not going offline; If all goes well a battery original or novel, etc.

    can help to put it on again. Also sometimes the power supply has some faulty fans,

    circuits or capacitors, so they can be troublesome to repair or replace.

    Good luck in this case!

  • Dell Studio 540MT does not start, green power light on, but the Start button / clear stop completely

    Looking for assistance

    Have a Dell Studio 540MT (purchased in 2009), worked great until 2 weeks ago.   After a temporary system failure would not start.    The power light itself is green fixed.   The power button on the front panel is completely released.

    I read a lot of messages and other information about a similar problem.   Therefore, I did following:

    1. unplug everything, press the power button / stop for 1 minute and retries.   without success

    2. replace the CMOS battery.  without success

    3A jumps the Green and black 20 supply connection wire pins to motherboard.  It started immediately food, fans and hard drive.   so I assumed that the PSU has been authorized.

    4 replace the motherboard with a new mobo.  Curiously, in a first time, there was no change, but after about 2 minutes, the power button was working and power system.   Everything worked so very well.   I had also completely cleaned all the dust in the chassis and radiator, fan and had applied the thermal paster as directed by Artic Silver.   I even turned off after hours of race and restarted system.  Restarted, he noted that it took a couple times by pressing the power button to make it work.   Then the 2nd day I shut down the system by a normal shutdown through Win 7 and let rest for about 10 hours.   When tried to start/turning the power on again, same problem as the original problem... at first, before light power button would show amber flashing when first pressed the power button / stop, then once I unplugged the power cord and let it sit for 1 hour, the light power button showed no light, completely and again no restarts.

    5. I ordered a new power button cord (new)... This could be the problem and replacement will fix?   Is this a known problem that power button can cause this kind of problem?

    6 or is a problem of power supply?   But you wonder why the green light of the PSU and works very well when jumping the Green and black wire on the connector 20 pin?     Before I go buy a new power supply to other suggestions?

    Is there a known issue with button / stop itself and/or PSU on Dell Studio 540 MTs?

    Yes, the front panel can cause failure to start in some models, although I don't specifically remember if the 540 has been affected by this problem. Please let me know if the replacement resolves the problem.

    ATX power supplies should work. Here are the standard components of the Dell desktop computers.

  • My Tecra S1 will NOT start!

    I have a Toshiba Tecra S1, that will not start. When powered on it gives me a repetitive beep code. The fan starts, only the power light come ON but the screen remains empty.

    The code goes like this: 2 Short emits a beep then one long beep, pause, then 3 short beeps.

    Hi Chris

    Of course, there is a hardware problem. Contact service partner in your country. They may include cela beep code. Unfortunately there is no public document on explanation of code.

  • Dell XPS 2710 all-in-One will not start, the totally blank screen

    Hello. This is my first post on the forums and I hope someone can help me.

    The Dell XPS 2710 all-in-one I bought for my 10 year old 15 months ago (Yes, that means that the guarantee is expired) will not start. No no post, no beeps, nothing. Just a brief spark of light on the screen, no words, nothing. The machine gets occasional use, and there is nothing to indicate what could have caused the problem. I have not upgraded the BIOS recently, is not as if it was a bad BIOS update, or whatever it is. I tried to hit the F1, F2, F12 keys delete during startup. No results.

    The video works. I know because I can connect my laptop to the HDMI-in port and I can see the desktop of my laptop very well. So the question is NOT the video. My son uses this machine for occasional movies and homework in his room. I want to fix the computer, if I can. I am handy with computers and built several machines from the outset in the past.

    I believe that the most likely scenario is that the motherboard has went wrong; There are several posts around the internet about motherboards 2710 AIO being unreliable. I saw an ad on the forums of Dell from a guy who said Dell Tech Support replaced its motherboard 2710 five times. I see that some of these motherboards are selling on eBay for around $200. I'm toying with the idea of getting a. I watched the service manual for the 2710 and I'm pretty confident that I could replace the Board of Directors.

    Someone had experience with permutation on their motherboard on a 2710 AIO? Or someone has any ideas on what could be the problem with my son's computer? I appreciate all the advice/help anyone could offer.

    OK, I have removed all the RAM from the motherboard (there were two sticks) and unplug the connector on the SATA hard drive. Then I turned on the machine and got two beeps very strong, but still no video on the screen indicating any form of activity of the POST. The sound signals have been first sounds I've ever heard during the procedure of boot on this machine. I put the RAM back in and re-connected the SATA cable. The way he has been, no video, no post, no beeps. I'm a bit at a loss for what I've decided, this means that the motherboard works technically and that another device on the machine is at the origin of the problem? Have I reason to assume that if I hear two beeps, then I should have the certainty that the motherboard was bad? Given that this a sound signal, the solution becomes cloudy, I guess. I can't help but feel that somehow the BIOS on the computer is damaged. Don't quite know how that could happen, however, because I have not updated the BIOS in over a year. I don't remember what BIOS version I have, but he had been working well for a year with no problems. Thanks for any other help/suggestions you can provide.

  • A5383 S55D satellite will not start without power

    Hello!

    I have the Toshiba Satellite S55D A5383 laptop and I have a problem with the battery, I think.
    Laptop does not start without power. What is happening since last week.
    In fact, since April 2015 battery does not last as it did when I bought (may 2014).
    I have'nt registered the product and I think I'm out of warranty.

    So, what can I do to fix this?

    You'll probably just get a new battery which is what I did. Try Amazon.

  • P50B satellite will not start (no power on)

    I have a TOSHIBA Satellite P50-B-103 with windows 8.1. I stop the machine yesterday, but today does not when I push the power button, nothing happens. I try to hold the power button / stop 30 seconds, but nothing happened.

    The" "DC IN / battery indicator" led is white, when I plug in or unplug the charger without changing the status led is allways white (not flashing).

  • I have a aspire 5517 who will not, start seeing power turns on but nothing else happens.

    I have a aspire 5517 that won't initialize power light turns on, but nothing happens.  I tried to connect an external monitor, but it still doesn't work.  All my stuff is on this computer and I need to save at least. Help!

    Hello..

    You can try to remove the battery, then connect only the power adapter ON the computer and check if you are able to start the computer.

    In order to return the data take the hard drive on the computer startup and slave with another computer and you will be able to transfer the files from the hard drive of your computer to another.

  • Satellite A200 - will not start with power supply connected

    My lapop is 2 years old. Whist trying to boot it restarts at least 2 times and I am running Windows 7.

    My old battery lasts about 20 minutes so I bought a new and the first time that I loaded up it gave me an hour of a time value of battery, but on the second cooldown it has provided for 20 minutes.

    It does not always to the top while the power is connected do you think that my motherboard is defective =.

    Hello

    Normally, if you connect the laptop AC adapter shouldn't t stop. Everything should work correctly as the system even starts the battery would be defective.

    So, I think you already wrote that the motherboard is faulty. In this case I recommend to contact an authorized service provider. Technicians can order a new mainboard and Exchange! :)

  • SatelliteU300 will not start with power connected and fully charged battery

    I just bought a U300-13U. It works fine when charging the battery and AC is connected. However, if left to recharge completely it does not start with connected AC. Unpluging the power or remove the battery and running on AC make it work very well. Is a 'feature' to stop an overload or overheating of the battery, or just a problem with this machine. I want to run with AC and battery than both connected all the time like I did with all my other laptops.

    Any help appreciated.

    Hello Andy

    Of my friends has this small U300 and everything works well. I got it a few weeks ago to test the family Windows XP Setup and it works perfectly.

    Please test again very carefully and if the same thing happen again once I recommend you contact the Service partner in your country. They check your laptop. I have to be honest and say that describes the problem of strange sounds to me and please, don't wait too long. Contact the service as soon as possible.

    Bye and good luck!

  • Tecra S10 will not start - no response

    Hello

    I have a very simple problem with my laptop.
    I was browsing the internet and suddenly it turned off, crushed. Times that whenever I press the power button, it does nothing other than to run the fan, I guess at maximum speed, and the light that indicates the power flashes twice green and orange... If I live it for an hour, he keeps making the same signal and nothing else.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Looks like you have a hardware problem serious if the RAM is not affected, then a hardware like motherboard, CPU etc could be damage
    It s good choice for contacting ASP guys could run diagnostic tests to find out what is the problem
