3000 K100 does nothing but beep

Model #: 57068347
OS: Windows Vista
I went to bed and the computer was working. I wake up the following morning, the screen is blank, and the machine is doing nothing but beeping. I tried cycling the power and still nothing. No POST screen, no response from the keyboard, nothing. Just repeated beeps from the speaker and that's it.
I cruised through the support forums a bit and didn't find much that was useful. Anyone got any ideas?
thanks!

epicdave,
What can you tell us about the beeping? Generally with PCs, there will be a series of long and short beeps in some kind of repeating pattern which can indicate what component is causing the trouble.
Can you discern the number of beeps before the pattern repeats?
Failing that, or more generically I would suspect memory, system board, power supply.   I'm going to suggest that if you are still in warranty that you contact service.   If you are outside of warranty, I'll offer the following things I might try...
1) Memory - remove and reseat the memory. While you have each module out, check the condition of the little gold contacts. If they look dull or have dull spots where the contact is made (you will see the slight rub marks where the socket engages each tiny contact pad on the module) you can gently use a pencil eraser to clean the contacts on the memory - just rub the eraser back and forth a couple times gently and then wipe away any of the eraser material. Re-insert in the sockets and try to power on the PC again.
2) System board - could be any number of componenet failures which would require a board replacement. Depending on the BIOS, the beep codes can sometimes identify which component to confirm the diagnosis. Try removing any expansion cards and power up again.
3) Power supply - less likely as it sounds like it is working to some level since the system is beeping.

My 5th ten iPod is basically doing nothing but trying over and over again to start up. I've tried to restore it, but when the logo apple appears, it simply shut down.

my 5th ten iPod is basically doing nothing but trying over and over again to start up. I've tried to restore it, but when the logo apple appears, it simply shut down. Then I've connected it to my macbook pro, and I've seen the script "Please Wait - Very Low Battery", but, after some time, the iPod tries to start up again, and nothing happens. It's a kind of noise, I'm thinking about the hard disk, (it's a 80Gb version), and I'm listening to it; every 30 seconds seems to try to open and then shut down again. I can't see the iPod in iTunes too. Don't know what to do. Can someone help me? Thanks a lot, it's my first forum

It sounds like the battery could be going bad as well as the iPod's Hard drive. You'll want to have the iPod serviced either by Apple or a third party repair company. Here is Apple's pricing:

Google for "iPod repair" and you should get a ton of results to work with.

Hey jtom234412,
Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like your device is not detected in iTunes for Windows. The following resource may help resolve this issue:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
Furthermore, if your device is in recovery mode (displaying an iTunes symbol, with a plug), see the relevant information under Step 5.
Thanks,
Matt M.

JCLouis,
We saw your story and are very worried about what we read! This isn't like us at all and we are here to help sort it all out. We recommend calling the Rebate Center to check on the status. Their number is 1-800-457-0864.
We can help you right here with your phone! How often does it turn off? Is it just that the screen goes black or does it completely power down? Also, does it start back up by itself if it does power down?

What is going on with this stupid machine

Machines are incapable of being stupid. Not so of their operators.
Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
   1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
       other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
   2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
       until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
       device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
       let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
       charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
       When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

Since uploading Maverick, my Microsoft apps give an error message "(the app) quit unexpectedly. Click Reopen to open the application again." However, this does nothing but renew this window. What to do?

Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
Do they launch OK while in Safe Mode?

Are you proposing that Win Virtual PC functions ONLY to run Win XP in a virtual machine environment?

No, I just suspect you would like to install XP mode on virtual machine.

Itunes 64-bit on Windows & 64-bit does nothing but give errors!

I've been trying to connect Iphone 3g 4.0.1 on Windows7 64-bit since last 5 days! Tried almost all the tips found on internet regarding this issue and none worked! At first simply downloaded the latest iTunes 9 (64-bit). It didnt work at all and I ended up seeing different errors. Then read this;
http://www.sevenforums.com/installation-setup/4318-release-notes-important-issue s-beta-release-windows-7-a.html
Tried that too and still getting nothing but errors. In last 5 days I encountered the following variety of errors;
Device Manager -> Portable Device -> MTP Usb Devie -> Device cannot start (Code 10)
Device Manager -> Portable Device -> Apple Iphone -> Device cannot start (Code 10)
iTunes -> iTunes could not connect to this iPhone because an unknown error occurred (0xE8000065)
iTunes -> iTunes could not connect to the iPhone "iPhone" because an unknown error occurred (0xE8000023)
iTunes -> iTunes could not connect to the iPhone "iPhone" because an unknown error occurred (0xE8000035)
iTunes -> iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because an invalid response was received from the device (0xE8000001)
I even tried programs like iPhone Explorer, DiscAid, iFun-box etc. None worked. And now looking for a final answer. Will it work on Windows 7 or not? I am too tired of trying now.

I don't know if this will help, but folks on Windows systems (typically laptops) with PM55 chipsets (like their brethen with P55 chipsets and other chipsets in the 5 series and 3400 series) have been reporting a lot of trouble with iPod/iPhone syncing (in particular, 0xE0000065 error messages, but the symptoms may vary).
In cases where no BIOS updates are available, and the BIOS does not have a user configurable C-STATE setting, some success has been achieved by using an old trick ... changing the power management settings on the USB Host controllers, as per the following document:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1401
When attempting to connect iPhone or iPod touch, you may see one or more of the following error messages:
▪ iTunes could not connect to this iPhone because an unknown error occurred (0xE8000065)
▪ iTunes could not connect to this iPhone because an unknown error occurred (0xE800000a)
▪ iTunes could not connect to this iPhone because an unknown error occurred (0xE800006b)
▪ iTunes could not connect to this iPhone because an unknown error occurred (0xE8000001)
Alternatively, the error may be the same as above but end with a different number. See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3221
(thanks to B Noir for the tip)
Hope this helps.

Using firefox, scrolling over a link does nothing, but using IE on the same link I see an .aspx file that I can open. How do I fix firefox?

Going to a state sponsored site I see a link (underlined and in blue), but scrolling over it while in Firefox does nothing. Clicking on the link also does nothing.
Changing browsers to IE, I then go to the same site and scrolling over link changes cursor. Clicking on the link opens a new page.
The link's address is an .aspx file.
How can I fix Firefox to view this link.

Thanks for the try, but no help.
I tried removing the "style", but it did absolutely nothing.
I did notice something odd.
Going to the state site:
http://ww2.doh.state.fl.us/IRM00PRAES/PRASINDI.ASP?LicId=295&ProfNBR=3101
there is a link "Going to complaint", when I scroll over this it reacts normally and clicking allows me to open a new page, BUT, the page is not in the browser, rather it appears to be a new window floating over the browser. This window has no address, it appears to be a separate document rather then a part of the website. In this window document there is a link, underlined and in blue, under the heading "case number". There is no way to remove style from this window, and clicking in Firefox does nothing, while doing so in IE leads me to a PDF document.
I am a neophyte computer user, but wonder if there is something additional needed so Firefox can handle the .aspx file.

E7 does nothing but hangs

I just bought this e7 phone last month and its been nothing but trouble... It hangs and i have to long press the powe button to shut it down and restarts and then when it comes on.it hangs within the next 30 seconds and this process continues into a routine... I tried softformatting it and it doesnt hang anymore but a new problem is generated... It pratically keeps screaming system error...i can't do much with the phone. I dont know which condition is better anymore,the phone's previous state or its new state... I need help fast,please.

If the phone isn't working correctly I would return it, I've had only one issue with mine in 3 months and did a hard reset , dial *#7370# which completely wiped everything except the OS, and I had to completely set it up again , including all the media on E mass memory, it's a lot of hard work , but worrth a try before returning it, if you decide to try, backup only contacts, calendar and notes, as a full backup and restore may restore whatever is causing the problem ! You may be asked for a passkey (I wasn't) the default is 12345.
Good Luck

Firefox 3.6.3 will allow me to import bookmarks, however it will not allow me to export bookmarks, I click on export html, and it does nothing but close the dropdown menu

have been trying to export my bookmarks from firefox. am running a new installation of kubuntu 10.04.. I can import any and all I've tried. I'm using firefox synch, but the only bookmarks I can import from firefox are the defaults... nothing I've imported is available to import to my other browser, Konqueror.

hi,
in firefox 4.x; you click on firfox in the upper left corner, which is presumably similar to 3.x. Then go to bookmarks, in the upper right corner of open tab. this will then open another tab...DO NOT GO ANY FURTHER....just left click on bookmarks. This will open a window where you will see "import and backup" once you highlight that area, a dropdown with "export to html"......will be there.

My 4s - 'Died' today - screen black, wont turn on/off. Battery is full. Tried restore advice - nothing. When I call it, 4s does nothing but phone I'm calling it from rings doesn't go to v/mail. Can't locate on 'find iphone' or itunes Plse HELP!

Phone blank, no signs of life! It's fully charged, I haven't dropped or split anything over it. I cant turn it on/off anything! Tried all the restore advice on 'support' - nothing. Tried find my iphone - apparently it's off line? Itunes doesn't pick it up either. If I call it nothing happends but the phone I'm calling from rings, doesn't go to v/mail. Please has anyone got any suggestions - I'd really appreciate it. x

Take it to the Apple Store and ask them to check it out
