Will not respond XPS 15 F8 key to restore factory image

Have a XPS L501X 15 I'm cleaning up to part with. Have all my personal data offshore and uninstalled all the software, which I have added. Went to my Dell online manual for restoring factory image whose starting point was to press the F8 key when the Dell logo appears, to access the advanced boot options. Have done so several times during the past 20 years with my Dell computers, usually F2 for access settings. This computer works well when I hit F2 for Setup and F12 for boot options. But he will not answer the F8 key to bring up the options of early start had to do the original image. Have tried 30 times or almost and it just keeps loading windows. y at - it another way to access this screen, or something else I can try. I have had no other problems with the computer. Ran the Dell hardware diagnostics and everything this past... Loooked in the D partition and it appears the Dell image restore files are all there, I just can't get the F8 to get to them. I made no changes or done anything with the D partition, and the hard drive is the original.

You must press F8 several times similar to what I've done here:

  • Satellite Pro L450D black screen and will not respond to any keys

    Hello

    My niece has used his Toshiba L450D for almost a year now and he really liked it, who was until last month. She turned on her laptop and when she presses the button of the mouse, the button cracked and he fell into the laptop.

    Now my brother contacted Toshiba and I was told because it is under warranty it might return for repair because it was a common fault. Then he he packed in loads of air bubbles and a box to make sure it was safe.

    A few weeks later he came back repaired but we were all shocked that the laptop was put in a very loose box and you could hear this rattling noise. When we turned on the battery was flat and we had a new boot menu.

    As she installed it Windows 7 laptop would boot directly into Windows 7, but now after the repair of the laptop shows a menu black screen with as follows:

    + Windows 7 +.
    + Recover Windows to Factory Settings [active EMS] +.

    So we started in Windows and everything went well, but now after 5 or 10 or even 20 minutes, laptop displays a black screen and will not respond to keys or mouse movement. There is nothing on the screen its just black.

    I started in SafeMode (which was more difficult with the new menu) and it does the same thing. I even managed to do a virus scan quick who took 3-4 minutes and was clean.

    I would like some advice on what my niece is very angry, and it's difficult to explain what is happening to a child in the primary school.

    Any help would be grateful.

    Hello

    Have you tried the option of HARD drive recovery?

    If this is not the case, try to set the notebook back to factory settings using HARD drive recovery.
    Turn on the device, press F12, choose repair my computer, then select Toshiba HDD recovery.

    I hope it will work!

  • SYSTEM WILL NOT RESPOND FOR 1 MIN AFTER THE CONNECTION

    Once connected to my system after a reboot it will not respond for atlesat 1 minute. I can open some software like firefox... but I can't open Control Panel or modify a system

    Hi mohdrafi,.

    (a) since when are you facing this problem? What were the changes to the system between the time where everything has worked, and when you noticed the problem?

    This problem may occur because of the conflict between the hardware or programs on the computer.

    To refine the question, I suggest you try the following steps:

    Disconnect all external devices, mainly USB devices except for devices such as the mouse and keyboard.

    Check if the problem persists,

    Step 1: Disable security software, follow the steps mentioned below

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software

    Note: Activate security software once the test is completed.

    Step 2: Start the computer in safe mode and check if the problem persists, to do this, follow the steps below.

    Access the menu advanced startup options by turning on your computer and pressing the F8 key before Windows starts. In the advanced startup options select safe mode

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

    If everything works properly in safe mode, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

    Step 3: Put the computer to boot to figure out program causing problem.

    Follow step 1 in the link below,

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

    After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software

    Important: n ' forget not the computer to start normal follow step 7 in the link.

    Dreamweaver CC 2015 does not open. It freezes at the opening and wrote "the program will not respond" anyone have an overview? I used it for a month without any problems and then today it will not open.

    Thank you Nancy O. This proposal has helped me. Dreamweaver is unresponsive to the launch. Not sure what happened because it was working fine last week. Restore preferences enabled him to proceed as usual.

    For Windows users: find the executable on your system in Dreamweaver. Press and hold the Key Windows + Ctrl + Shift while launching this (double click).

  • Start PC laptop Toshiba in safe mode, only displays black screen, will not respond to any commands.

    Hello, I recently tried to do an advanced start safemode, because when I tried to do safe mode by pressing F8 it would have not responded to the command. Then I did a MSconfig, lit manually in safe mode, so I can then restart and do a scan to search for viruses or hackers of air because he had a reason to suspect. Now, after the manual switch, when I rebooted all I get is a black screen. No logo, nothing. When I press the buttons for the controls at first upward, it beeps at me and that's it.

    Done, I have XP, not Vista, don't know if it makes much difference or not, but that's exactly what I did.

    Is went to start, click Run, type msconfig, went to the utility system configuration, general tab selected, then the system of services. Then selected drivers devices of loading at startup Safemode-minimal database, and then click OK. Then, the computer said I had to be logged as administrator for these changes to take place and to connect and make changes. I was already logged as admin. so I advanced and restarted the computer and that's when I got black screen, no splash screen, no logo, no cursor.

    I just read that I could have possibly messed up by not checking the VGA mode in order to be able to communicate in this mode, I don't know if it is correct or not.

    I have my recovery discs, I've tried this morning, following their directions and it will not respond to one of these orders either.

    I don't understand, why... it was working fine before I did it, but like I said I suspected a virus or a hijacker, but my Norton 360 and SuperSpyware nothing not detected in normal mode. That's why I tried to safe mode.

    You should be able to use any standard ATX PSU in the computer.  I suggest to measure the current PSU and comparing measures that you choose.  I like Corsair and OCZ.  The PSU is the backbone of the computer, it is not the place to save money.  Both in the links I provided are good examples of what you can use.  Read the reviews to see what users have to say about them.

  • Windows 7 will not activate with the OEM key, after the failure of HARD drive.

    Hello

    I was recently asked to repair my brother DELL laptop.  The HARD drive failed and the system unusable.  I replaced the HARD drive and installed Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 (earlier version of windows) from my own installation media.  The recovery partition had survived the failure of HARD drive, I would have just cloned that and used, but this was not an option in this case.

    The problem that I am experiencing, is that windows don't will not activate, saying that the key is not valid.  I was told that installing Windows 7 media would work with a retail or an OEM key, but that doesn't seem to be the case.  The key OEM I use, is from the computer it came from originally, and the only material change is the new HARD disk.

    I try to avoid ordering an OEM Dell installation CD, as which costs money (I already have my own installation CD) and takes time (why do they have them available for download?).

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you

    Additional information:

    Computers, which are built by large manufacturers provided with pre-installed Windows are supplied with 2 two product keys:

    OEM SLP: This key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes to the factory. This key is designed to work with the special instructions isn't on the hardware of this manufacturer. Then, when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP (in factory) Windows 7 key leans on the motherboard and he sees special instructions and activates. (that's why you had no need to turn on your computer after you brought it home)

    COA SLP: it's the product key that you see on the sticker on the side (or at the bottom, [or in the battery compartment]) of your computer. It is a valid product key, but must be used only in certain situations (for example, if the OEM SLP key stops automatic activation for a reason any). The key must be activated by phone. (Note: all manufacturers that use the SLP OEM system are bound by contract to include a certificate of Authenticity sticker (COA), which has a COA SLP key, on the computer)
