Y480 - laptop does not start with attached hard drive enclosure.

My laptop started clicking and will boot LAN, so I opened it and looked at the hard drive. All seemed well, it wouldn't be fair to start. Then I removed the metal casing around it and stuck the drive in. Everything started normally. Chkdsk shows nothing wrong with the hard drive, and I'm not sure why remove the dressing would affect startup. All the thoughts/solutions?

Blue... temporarily parts of the sponge to keep the HARD drive in place.

and if your Y480 is still under warranty, can consult a Support technique Lenovo...

Good luck... Zehn

  • Satellite Pro 480CDT does not start with mounted HARD disk?

    Hello
    I have tried several disks in my Satellite Pro 480CDT, but none of them starts. The screen stays black and the power led blinks orange (long, short, short, short, short, long, short, short). If I drive the machine past the on-screen "In Touch With tomorrow, TOSHIBA. He sees Windows CD-ROM or a floppy disk. I tried with 6 hard drives all below to 6 GB and AFAIK the work. I tried with another 480CDT a 220CS and a 2140CDS. Surely all hard drives and computers laptops have the same flaw? What I need to update BIOS or something as none of the drives are original for the machines.
    Help, please!

    Hi John

    I'm afraid of nothing that you can do everything alone. When the electronic power supply detects a power problem, it sends the hex code. In this case you should contact the technicians. They can read this code and will know what the problem is here.

    Just FYI: I discovered this disc HARD original for this unit has the P000244000 part number. Maybe it will help you get another HARD drive for testing.

    Sorry I can't tell you more info on this good old classic.

  • My C50 - B Satellite does not start from the HARD drive

    Details of the machine: -.

    Model number: PSCMLA-03F07Q
    Serial number: XE343127P

    Computer does not start from hard drive. No error message, just the start Toshiba at the end of self-test screen.

    Sometimes a reinstall of the operating system seems to correct the problem, but then he would go again, now the problem is consistent.

    I reduced the possibilities to a fault of BIOS, reasons.

    System boots from USB with no problems. Installation of operating systems is done without error. SMART hard drive data indicates a perfectly healthy hard drive. Memcheck will return no error.

    The obvious solution is to reload the BIOS, just reset it doesn't help. But that is the problem.

    1.4 BIOS update that the Australian site offers is a Windows program and the computer cannot start Windows.

    Obvious answer is to use a bootable USB key with an operating system 'live' on this issue, but all of these systems are Linux and the update of the BIOS is a Windows program. So much for smart solutions.

    Downloaded Bios version 1.7 of the European site but the iso inside the rar file is empty, 25 MB in size but nothing in there according to Linux. Tried to run his program on a Win7 64 bit computer and it returns an error that it could not find the correct iso file.

    I submitted a support request by email to Toshiba, but they believe that it could take three days to get a response, so I thought I would ask here as well. Can someone tell me please to a working copy of the latest BIOS update disk for a laptop Satelite C50 - B? Note: this model does not have a CD player so iso should be compatible with USB boot.

    See you soon,.

    Andrew.

    Hello

    From my experience that I n think that BIOS update is the final solution for you. When you set the default settings of the BIOS disk HARD appears correctly in the BIOS settings?
    HARD drive is also offered and listed as boot device when you enter in the start using F12 at startup menu?

    What happens when you start using recovery image installation created recovery USB key (I hope that you have created a)?

    Offer BIOS updates are versions of WIN and can be performed by running the Windows operating system.

  • Satellite Pro 460 does not start with the new drive in

    I recently received a Satellite Pro 460, but he had no hard drive.
    It starts great without a disc in but as soon as I put a new hard drive in it does not start.

    I thought that it might be again a hard drive, so I pulled out my old Toshiba Satellite with my old drive to work, and yet, it does not start.

    Someone has any ideas why this is and what I can do about it

    I think that you can not do much. Satellite pro 460 CDT, for example, comes with 2 GB of HARD drive. If you try to get it work with similar HDD without success, it may be defective IDE port on the motherboard.

    What HARD drive you are trying to use on this good old classic?

  • new laptop does not start with the boot CD or DVD disk

    HP Pavilion laptop computer g6 brand new windows 7 Home premium 64-bit.  Updates Windows, updating the Bios and Telus security installed, otherwise the system is factory.

    I'd like to partition the hard drive partitions with Partition Wizard on a boot disk, maximum because I don't need a 650 GB partition to do the maintenance on more I like to keep my data and other separate files of my operating system.

    The DVD drive is set to boot first.  The DVD player works (made recovery discs, checked the content on the CD, etc.).

    What happens when I try to boot using the CD or DVD - the DVD drive sounds like it is being accessed, then stops and I get a blue screen. This happens as well with the diskette in the partition Wizard and recovery disks.  Whenever I start even if the bios is set to boot from the first DVD I press the esc key and reset the DVD to start everything first.

    I checked the disk the wizard partition on a desktop PC and it works fine.  I updated the bios after checking on the internet, as was the fix for this issue.  It don't did not help me.

    It took me a while, but I thought about it.  The laptop and DVD player with Windows 7 can't read a bootable disc, made by another computer.  It won't even read a USB stick formatted by another computer (Windows XP).

    What a pain.

  • EliteBook 8640p does not start after replacing hard drive with a 128 GB crucial disc M4

    Hi all

    This morning I was not in box a new Elitebook 8640 p and instantly replaced the hard drive with a new 128 GB crucial disc M4.

    Machine installation installation clean Windows, restarted etc. I then installed the drivers, restarted etc. Have a windows index score and I was immediately impressed by the 7.9, but...

    The laptop won't start. Right after that the first portable screens it just stops at a black screen where it should show the logo "windows". I put the original hard drive in and the machine starts very well and I put the M4 in my office and it begins to start.

    It seems so the reader is fine and the laptop is fine, but the whole... Nope.

    Any suggestions?  (I want to send them both back after spending this money a lot of things should work like clockwork)

  • Laptop does not start with the display.

    I have a song DV 9700 Windows Vista Home

    Computer will not start.

    The screen remains blank and will beep once.

    He did once or twice then showed the boot menu,

    tried to start in safe mode, but wouldn't start.

    Looks like grafics.

    Removed from the hard drive, it is readable and operating system appears intack.

    Recovery disk will not work. No task of recovery work, even to complete the recovery of the plant.

    Had the computer for 5 years, still in good condition. Any ideas would be useful.

    Thank you

    Black screen means graph. Perhaps the external port or the card itself or the taking of the MoBo to the GPU, it might have a problem. It can also be the monitor! If you cannot even see the Startup logo and cannot access or the BIOS it may very well be the monitor that has a problem. Overall, since you said that you have 5 years now your warranty is probably outdated and you can easily go to the nearest tech IT to check the components of your laptop to see if one of them is broken. Anyway, if one of the components I listed above is broken I think you should just consider buying a new laptop rather than fix 5 years, a.

  • Peripheral USB take two tests at work and does not start with Time Machine drive connected

    I have a 2015 mid Macbook Pro 15 "work (so I can't afford to take this service for a period of days). My specs are:

    I am running the latest version of El Capitan, 10.11.4.

    My problem is that USB devices - such as Logitech USB headsets, USB sticks, external hard drives, etc. - always and I always say, require two plugins to be detected by the system. It doesn't work the first time. I always have to connect once, remove it and plug it in again.

    In addition, if I try to boot the system with my Time Machine/external USB HD drive, it won't start at all. Only if I reboot without all the devices connected it boot successfully.

    My questions are: is it a software or a hardware problem? And someone saw this before? I think it's a hardware problem, although the last notes of patch involve the last update of OS may have addressed a similar issue with audio devices. (This would affect my Logitech USB headset no doubt, but it did not help). If it is a hardware problem that requires a fix of the motherboard, I can't do it, since the new it's a working machine that I can't part with for a long period of time, unless SHE is willing to trade me a machine on-site. It does not affect other most operation every day except that I need to plug devices twice, all the time.

    Thank you, everyone.

    Hi herikhi,
     
    Change the start of the base system (Input Output) BIOS setting to boot from the hard drive.
     
    Consult the manual of the manufacturer, to do the same thing.

  • Satellite P300 does not start because of HARD drive password

    I have a Satellite P300 laptop and it seems to be frozen.
    When I turn it on a blue box rises and requires a HARD drive password before windows turns on, but I can't type the password because there is no cursor.
    None of the buttons work. There is no way to type the password.

    I was wondering if I have to buy a new hard drive and if I do, can get one with more capacity that it is only 149 gb?

    I don t want to buy if its repairable,.

    Thank you

    > None of the buttons work. There is no way to type the password.
    Connect an external USB keyboard and check if you can type the HARD drive password.
    Generally, if you know the HARD drive password, the use of the external USB keyboard should work

    Would it be possible that your keyboard is broken?
    You can access the BIOS F2 press during the startup of the device?
