Equium A60 does not start-up properly

Had this notebook for 2 years now and yesterday it just froze.
Control,Alt Delete wouldnt work so had to turn off using the power button. Tried to turn back on but just shuts down again after a few seconds. The blue light comes on around the button and then goes off.
Managed to get it started a couple of times but then just froze again. Any ideas?

Hi,
you said it shuts down itself? Is it working if you leave it a while and let it cool down? So maybe just the ventilation system is clobbed with dust and needs to be cleaned.
Did you installed some new software or bios updates or added some RAM? Regarding the RAM you can run memtest86 (www.memtest86.com) to check your memory on possible errors.
Would appreciate some feedback from you
Cheers

Equium A60 does not start after BIOS update

I have an Equium A60. After being caught with some very nasty malware and a trojan I made the disiccion to reformat the machine and reinstall the o.s..
All went well until I updated the bios. Machine crashed and now I cannot get it to reboot. Press the power button and the machine will start for 3-4 seconds and then shuts down.
I know this is due to the bios and want to know if there is any way that i can reset this back to it original settings?
thanks in advance for your help

Hi Rob.
The model of my laptop is EA60-152 / PSA67E.
Yes i did upgrade from the Toshiba website.
I should have never done this it was working after the reinstall of the o.s and so i should not have tried anything else(never fix something that aint broke).
The only place i have found for a new motherboard is Toshiba. But the price is nasty. Talk about what a fool am i.
Never mind though i keep on thinking that there may be an answer or a scrap one that i can rob a bios chip from. Other than that a very nice paperweight me thinks..!!!!
If i get an answer than i will post it here..

When you turn on the ipad2 it does not start up properly. The rotating disk that happens when you turn off the ipad appears after the apple logo comes up

When you turn on the ipad2 it does not start up properly. The rotating disk that happens when you turn off the ipad appears after the apple logo comes up during start-up and stays there for ten minutes. Then, the ipad will start up properly.

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Equium A60 does not see a recording drive

Sadly more help is needed with my Equium A60 following on from the earlier fault of the missing CD\DVD drive. Thanks for the help earlier, I did get my cd drive back in 'My Computer' and it does read cds..
Today I tried to put some mp3s on a known working CDRW and my DVD writer is not seen. I get a error message saying you don't have a cd writer.. I have CD Creator 6 which I have been using ok before, that too does not see a recording drive on my laptop.
I can no longer format a blank cdr or drag and drop on a cdrw formatted previously.
Any ideas anyone.?? Thanx.!!

Hi,
in 'My Computer' right-click on the DVD drive and select properties. Check if on the record tab CD-recording is activated.
Bye

SP A60 does not start up

I have a satellite pro A60 which was working fine yesterday, but today will not start up. The first time I turned it on this morning it showed the toshiba welcome screen, then the screen went black with a flashing cursor in the top left, but would not respond. I then held down the power button to turn it off.
Now when I try to turn it on, I just get a black screen, and there is no response. Any ideas? Will I be able to avoid losing data from the hard drive?

Hi Jamie,
When you power on your notebook do you see or hear any activity at all ? The red Toshiba splash screen normally appears during the initial POST, that is when the BIOS is being loaded and the individual components are being tested.
You should then notice some HD activity (possibly preceeded by your optical drive) as the operating system itself is loaded from disk.
At which point does your notebook stall?

Equium A60 does not see 80GB 7200rpm HDD

My Equium PSA67E has the latest 1.90 Bios. It came supplied with a 40GB hard drive.
When i filled this up I replaced this with an 80GB seagate momentus 7200 rpm drive. This ran fine for about 6 mths. Recently I started laptop and it would not recognise the 80GB seagate drive?
If I put the drive in external drive case I can write to and read from it. It works fine in 2 of my friends laptops; but my own bios will now not recognize it!
I have tried PC world where I bought it and they cannot get it to work in this laptop. What could have changed? Now restricted to old 40Gb drive, not happy :(
Any suggestions welcome.

Yes I did , I put the old drive back in so I can go online. Please note that the 80Gb upgrade drive has worked correctly for months. Next day I turn the laptop back on & it does not see this drive? Nothing has been altered or installed by me since it worked the day before. I have checked the pins. All ok. The 80GB works in an external drive case & in two friends laptops .
I put it back in mine many times and it still does not recognise it in the bios. I do not understand why it will work everywhere except as my primary drive.
Any other ideas please?

Computer does not start up properly

The Battery exploded in my older macbook (not a violent explosion, but it seemed to push out and was no longer flush with the bottom of the notebook, so I removed it. I plugged in the computer with the power adapter without a battery and it actually started once normally. I did a shutdown and since then, when I try to start it the white power light comes on, the sound sounds and the screen turns light grey, after about 20 seconds or so, the grey apple appears on the screen with the turning wheel symbol, after about 20 turns of the wheel, the screen goes black. Well, this time it started ok. The battery symbol in the toolbar has an X in it, obviously as it has not battery installed. Is it ok to use the computer like this?
Secondly, I purchased a battery replacement for this unit, when I tried it installed, it did not recognise the battery, it is the A1185 model number and fit perfectly in the slot. Any ideas on this?
Many thanks,
Rene

I found your thread very helpful. I have a 2009 mac pro 3,1 that seems to be doing similar things. It was working fine then occasionally the screen would flicker and then freeze the system. had to power off to get out of it. Now it won't boot. I get purple and white vertical lines and the apple with the pinwheel. the pinwheel stops after a while and thats it. i tried booting from the cd and get to the harware test but the screen is split left and right. really unreadable. i suspect the graphics card (geforce ) so i tried booting without the card installed. i believe it still did not complete the boot. my question is should i be able to boot without a graphics card installed? any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.

MacBook Pro does not start up properly after yosemite, I see a black screen. What to do?

Apple MacBook Pro 15 " 2.4iC2D/2x1Gb/160Gb/256V, 07-02-2008, always properly updated.
Lately Iphoto worked slow and stuck many times. After ugrade from Maverick to Yosemite had to upgrade IPhoto as well.
After that the laptop started 2 or 3 times, after that it showed me a black screen.
I succeeded to connect with a firewire cable the laptop to my Mac and could look into the laptop.
Unfortunately there was a power break, and I don't succeed in reconnecting.
The laptop stays warm and I hear (I suppose) the hard disk.
What to do? I want to find my fotos and put them on the Mac.

I went to apple today and they told me that the hard drive has unmounted itself. They have my macbook right now and they said they're going to replace the wire that connects the hard drive to the logic board and see if this solves the issue. If it doesn't work they will replace the existing 250GB hard drive in my macbook with a 500GB as they no longer make that size hard drives (cost of £130 for the replacement). The problem is that i dont have my macbook backed up so will there be anyway to get data off the od hard drive?

MacBook Pro does not start up properly

Each time I turn on my Macbook Pro, everything will load up to the desktop, I can move the cursor around but cannot click on anything in the dock/menu bar across the top, nor does it respond to any of my hot corner settings. I have to hold down the start button to shut down, wait and then start again and it will always work fine at the second attempt.
I have had the Macbook Pro just over 6 months now, and have been running Lion since it was launced I think.
Any suggestions?

Boot while holding down the command-r keys and that'll boot into the Lion restore disk. Run Repair Disk using Disk Utility.

10.6 does not start up

Hello,
my Mac-Mini (Snow Leopard) does not start up properly. By following some hints in an other forum I tried to get rid of an old Norton installation. I moved the mentioned files in the trash. After restarting it booted until the blue screen appears.
There is no reaction to the 10.6. install disc or any keyboard command (like ⌘T, ⌘S, ⌘D or any other)
It is now for one week at my local dealer but they hadn't time to check for it.
So, any suggestions here?
Thanks in advance....

install disc or any keyboard command (like ⌘T, ⌘S, ⌘D or any other)
Only the 'S' key needs a modifier key with the Apple (also known as Command) key at startup, with an Apple keyboard, arget Disk Mode, hardware test, and Option key for Startup Manager do not need a command key.
It is now for one week at my local dealer but they hadn't time to check for it.
Ask for it back from the dealer, and make sure you check for the following.
1. Does it have 2, 4, or 5 USB ports on rear?
distinguishes between Firewire, USB, and ethernet.
If it has only 2 USB ports on the rear, it can't run Snow Leopard, and can only run Leopard.
2. If it has 4 or 5 USB ports, check the serial number:
less than xx935xxxx can use Snow Leopard retail which looks like * and does not say Upgrade, DropIn, or OEM.
xx936xxxx and later can only use the Mac Mini Snow Leopard installer disc that shipped with it. Do not state the full serial number to us here in Discussions, as we are only end users, and this board is searchable. The three digits enumerated above are the only ones of any consequence for determining the age of the Mac. x can mean any value.
3. If the startup manager does not work with the correct disc above, you have a hardware issue.
4. If the hardware test runs but detects no issue with the Mac, but the instalelr won't run for 10.6 with the correct disc, you have possibly a RAM issue.
5. If the installer is able show its installation screen to start an installation, you may have damage to the hard drive's directory, and have to either first recover your backup, if you have one that is bootable, or attempt a data recovery as done here*:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html#RECOVER
6. Once you are recovered, or know you are backed up, check the directory*:
http://www.macmaps.com/directoryfaq.html
If the directory is fine, and it won't boot, attempt a data recovery to an erase and installed system only if you have at least two backups.
If you can't fix the directory, you may need to replace your hard drive.

My I Mac does not start properly without pressing option and apple keys ,and it freezes

My I Mac does not start properly without pressing option and apple keys ,and it freezes

Try any of the following:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379 Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
Disconnect all devices from the computer then do the following:
Boot up from your Snow Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
Once this process has been completed restart your computer and repair permissions directly from Disk Utility.
If Disk Utility is unable to complete the repair, you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior, Techtool PRO (not Deluxe) or Drive Genius.

PIA service does not start

Hi,
my webserver is Weblogic (9.2, Tools 8.49 , HRMS90). PIa service does not start automaticaly when I start/boot the server. I should run startPIA.cmd. And then I can connect in 4/3.
Do you have any idea for that ?
In windows Evenetlog it says Event Type: Warning
Event Source: beasvc
Description:
peoplesoft-PIA service stopped
Thank for help.

after u install PIA , u can start the server from the cmd by issuing a command called StartPIA.cmd ,
or u can tie the domain to a service type called NT service, and schedule the service to be automatic. it keeps running as long as ur box is up. once u reboot it , service stops for a while and start again. this is automatic type of bringing up the server.
ur bEA weblogic when installed sets the path for jdk and jre which are used by the server to come up properly.
even after this if u have trouble, please paste the logs. logs are found under PS_HOME\webserver\domain_name\logs
bea logs are under bea DIR.
Thnks!

Integration Process does not start

Hi guru's
My scenario is this. From ECC we send Idocs to PI. We have an integration process to receive the idocs because only max 9999 are passed in the port.
We run just around 11000 CREMAS idocs now.
The problem is that the integration process does not start on our QA environment while it does start on DEV environment.
I've run many checks on both environments and they all look the same.
To name a few:
* Cache are all green and up-to-date.
* I checked the WF models which are behind the Integration Process and they are the same.
* Event correlation is correct in both environments
* When i test the idocs are correctly sent from ECC to PI.
However on DEV I see in transaction SXMB_MONI_BPE i see that the integration process is triggered and started. It waits 10 minutes and collects any messages that come in, and then bundles these and sends them on to the receiver.
On QA i do not see the Integration Process being started. Only records i see in SXMB_MONI_BPE are three work items, 2 completed, 1 ready, all 3 are called waiting for event.
I'm probably missing some configuration somewhere but what could it be?
Regards
Robert

Hi Eng Swee,
Thx. I checked it already and it works fine.
Meanwhile i did do some changes and some retests and now i saw somewhere that all my tests were creating more steps in an already started integration process, that was still waiting.
I now cleared some old workitems and started afresh.
What i see now is:
1) the BPM process start correctly
2) it receives 1 or 2 or 3 or n messages
3) it then waits for the deadline to finish, i.e. it should run for 10 minutes and then proceed to the next step which is sending the collected idocs to receiver.
On DEV the deadline works fine. On QA it doesn't.
IN SWU3 i have done the customizing and it shows green, so that part is OK.
Still the deadline is passed and it doesn't have the desired effect on mu BPM process (workflow).
Are there any other checks i can do to see if the deadline mechanism is properly working?
Is there a maybe a manual step i can do to trigger the deadline? Then at least i get some information on where the real problem is.
(Sorry for earlier confusion but i hadnt realized that there was still a process running)
Regards
Robert

Adobe Acrobat Pro 10 does not start anymore

This happened to me three times now. One time Adobe Acrobat Pro 10 is working properly for weeks. It crashes once and after that it does not start anymore without providing a message or clue.
What I used to do is remove CS6 completely and reinstall it. But this is tedious. Just uninstalling Acrobat Pro and reinstalling it doesn't do the trick.
My guess is that a setting is stopping Acrobat Pro from starting. Is it possible to reset Acrobat Pro settings to the factory default? I've already remove the folders under
%LOCALAPPDATA% \adobe\acrobat and
%APPDATA% \adobe\acrobat
but this doesn't help.

Ok. This occasion I had a bit of time on my hand and found a solution yuhu!
Make sure you have access to you license key as you have to enter it new after this procedure
1) Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD\cache
2) Delete or rename the file cache.db
3) Open Acrobat Pro, you will be asked to license the software again under your Adobe-ID again.
4) If asked to connect to your Adobe-ID and re-enter the license key.
Now Acrobat Pro is working (as are all the other CS6 applications.

Oracle Database Not Starting Up Properly

On VMware there's a known issue with Oracle databases on a Windows client not starting up properly all the time and a manual startup using oradim -start -sid <whatever> is required to get it fully running. I kinda figured that I wouldn't run into the exact same issue on Oracle VM. I created a brand new Oracle VM Windows 2003 32-bit server, installed the Oracle drivers for paravirtualization, and whammo, the problem is still here. I didn't find anything in this forum about the database not starting up, so I'm wondering if others are running into the same problem and how to resolve the issue. Thanks a bunch for your help.

Hmmm, doing it several time, and never seen such issue. Which "known issue" and by who are you talking about ?
I created a brand new Oracle VM Windows 2003 32-bit server, installed the Oracle drivers for paravirtualization, and whammo, the problem is still hereI'm sure, you miss something somewhere in the config. Right now, you're on supported configuration, you could either raise a SR to the support, or get help from your peer on Oracle Database General forum.
Ah, but it's not a Windows issue. On a non-VM Windows box the database starts just fine all the time. Again, this is a known issue acknowledged by Oracle on the VMware side, I'm just surprised it exists on the Oracle VM side.Again, give more details about this "known issue". Never heard about that, eventhough I've been around for years.
I was afraid you were going to ask that. I'll have to search for it again, but I think you can do the same as well....Well, I doubt you could find a Metalink note about Oracle on VMWare. So far, Oracle has always refused to support database on OS virtualized on VMWare (or any VM software other than Oracle VM). Based on that, you could be sure, your "known issue" is not an issue on Oracle VM.
If you want more help, again, give more details about your issue.
Nicolas.
