Fios MRDVR Box Boots to Static Screen ~ HELP!!!

When initially booting the DVR box and TV for the first time of the day, the box comes on, the TV comes on and I'm presented with a screen full of green static and an extremely loud noise that can only be described as a high-pitched screeching.
This lasts about 15 seconds, during which time the remote control is non-functional. Then the DVR automatically turns off and re-starts. Then all is fine. It only seems to happen the first time the box is turned is turned on during the day.
What I've done:
Re-booted the box.
Ordered and installed a "new" DVR from Verizon (and it still happens).
Re-booted the "new" DVR
I say "new" DVR because it's new to me; I called VZN about the issue, they told the DVRs they send out aren't actually brand-new, they're REFURBISHED!! So I spend about $400/month for Verizon services and they sent out a DVR that in my case is 4 years old and had been rented by 3 other people!?!? SERIOUSLY????
Still happens no matter what. Anybody else ever heard of this issue?
What am I supposed to do, VERIZON????

Even though a DVR might be refurbished (cable companies do the same thing) no 2 units should give you the exact same issue. Have you tried rebooting your router? If not try doing that. If that doesnt work either since yes it does control features on the dvr, then its very possible you have an issue with your ONT and it may need to be repaired or replaced.
What DVR model and brand are you using?
Another simple solution is to simply not turn the DVR off. Turning it off doesn't save any power as the HD is always running regardless.

Hp pavilion hpe h8-1070uk - cant boot past post screen - help!!!!!!

Hello,
Please help me HP!
I have a hp pavilion hpe h8-1070uk and recently upgraded the boot disk to a SSD and also installed Windows 8 64 pro. The system ran very well indeed.
After a few months of problem free usage, windows update said that Windows 8.1 was ready to install and all I need do is reboot to install it.
I selected to postpone the install for 4 hours and continued worrking away - I then went to bed and when I came back to the computer 6 or 7 hours later - the Win 8.1 install process was 52% completed but had hung...
On power cycling the system, the PC halts at the post delay screen and if I press Escape as the system boots, the screen shows 'start up menu' on the lower right of the screen (the post delay text remains unchanged) and the systems just hangs...
The lights and fan are on
The keyboard num lock key is on
No disk activity is shown (HD led, etc)
There are no errors displayed on screen or beeping sounds made
I have removed all usb devices and the HD (SSD) to see if this would at least allow the machine to boot and show a missing disk\OS message - this had no effect although the post screen does show a keyboard error - on replugging the keyboard (but not the SSD HD) the system still halts at the post screen with no error shown.
If you can please advise what I can do to resolve this problem - I really need to use the computer and can not see how it could have become damaged - Please, please help!!!

SUCCESS - at least for me (after already shopping on Amazon and Ebay for replacement motherboard).
After reading MANY posts about this in various forums, a common theme was removing hardware. I tried that, and as OP had done, at one point I removed everything including cables from MB to front panel USB ports.
What worked was plugging in the old HDD I had cloned from a couple days ago. Yes, this fixed a booting problem at the POST phase. And I was able duplicate the works/doesn't work circumstances repeatedly after that.
If you haven't solved your problem (it's been a month), I would try a different HDD or putting a bootable DVD or attaching a bootable USB drive (of anything). SOMETHING bootable for a confused boot loader to find (I suspect the boot loader on your HDD got corrupted when Win8.1 didn't install completely).
My setup was a Compaq Vision CQ2723w with Win7 and an EFI boot system. Part of the boot loader resides in NVRAM (presumably on the MB). Things worked fine until I got done setting everything up (including booting from F9 boot menu very often) and removed the thumb drive with a bootable Win7 Install on it and rebooted. Based on what I saw later (bcdedit /enum firmware), there are many duplicate boot manager and USB HARD DISK entries. There is even an entry from the Acronis loader used during disk cloning ... and neither disk was plugged in at the time. Hence my belief that boot loader stuff is stored on the MB. (Microsoft Tech blog talked about the firmware version, but didn't mention physical location).
Long story getting longer ...
I suspect
(1) BIOS searches for bootable devices. How else can it present a newly installed boot source (and it lists HDDs by model number) in the boot menu.
(2) the thumb drive was causing "it's" boot manager settings to be first choice in the MB firmware. When I could get into BIOS, I would put the EFI entry for USB HARD DISK after other EFI entries in the boot order. Whenever I booted Win7 Install from the thumb drive, it would be back on top.
(3) when I booted without the thumb drive installed, the overall boot process was "confused" or partially corrupt somewhere (like on the 250 GB Seagate HDD). I would see 6 entries for "Windows Boot Manager" in the F9 boot menu.
(4) When I put in the old 500 GB Seagate HDD, F9 Boot Menu and F10 Setup worked again. Boot Manager would come back with "no system found" and I had to manually select the 500 GB Seagate from the F9 boot menu. Once that happened, the default choice of Boot Manager in the startup menu worked again. Did the HDD load "it's" boot manager settings at the top of the MB firmware????
At the end, with a "working" system, I replaced the HDD with a cloned SSD (the goal at the beginning of this journey), kept the bootable thumb drive in my pocket, booted from the SDD (listed in the F9 boot menu), and repeatedly booted. A quick peek at the boot menu showed one of the Boot Manager(s) to be the default choice.
I still have multiple Boot Managers listed in the F9 Boot Menu. "bcdedit /enum firmware" still shows a display order with four duplicates for <bootmgr> and six of the GUID associated with USB HARD DRIVE. BUT THE SYSTEM BOOTS!!!!
Now, I just have make sure bootable USB drives do not come within 10 feet (and I'm hanging on to the original 500 MB Seagate that "fixes" the problem when its connected.
Hope this helps you or someone/somewhere/sometime to solve their problem or get one step closer to understanding how all this booting crap really works (or doesn't).

Perform Latest Apple SW Update - Result is Boot To Welcome Screen - Help!

After performing the latest Apple update, upon the auto-restart, the MacBook continuously boots to a Welcome Screen as if the MacBook had never been registered before. Going through the steps of registering the MacBook (again and again) does not help, because the computer continues to go from the Log On window (enter password into regular account) and a repeat to the Welcome Screen.
Any suggestions?
So far, I have been successful in logging on to the MacBook remotely (from my MacBookPro) and I've been able to copy the User Files to a back-up drive. I'm thinking I need to do an erase and install and start all over.
Since this is my sons computer, I don't know the actual update, however, it must be the same one the other five Macs I have did yesterday....
Thanks - and Happy Holidays!
Bob

I also had a problem after this past update - but with my battery. It charges sometimes or it doesn't. It randomly stops charging, even when it needs to. This is really frustrating.
I'm about to call Apple tomorrow or the day after, to speak to them about this. This is really annoying.

Will not boot - Blank Gray Screen - Help!

I was trying to use Boot Camp to partition my new iMac to allow a small several Windows Applications. Followed (I think) online instructions including reformatting. When it looked like it was repeating the "formatting" I hit cancel figuring I would stop the partitioning and get advice......result was iMac shut down and now when I start I get the chime and a plane gray screen with no option to access or reboot. I tried PRAM (opions-control PR) and that did not get results......not sure what else to try.

Hi Again Nerowolf and thanks for your help and patience.......sorry don't know the John Titor you mentioned.
Google "John Totor"
But I did try the DVD and holding down "C" while rebooting and while there was some hopful clicking no result. Do you have other suggestions.......am wondering if a trip back to the store might be a good move!
I suspect a hardware problem. Back to the store sounds like the appropriate thing to do.
Booting from a DVD has very little to do with the computer OS.
But first - do this, Sometimes it does miraculous things:
■ Shut down your computer. Turn the computer back on and immediately hold down Command-Option-P-R, continuing to press until you hear the startup sound for the second time. This resets the computer’s parameter random-access memory (PRAM).
IMPORTANT: Resetting PRAM may change some system settings and preferences. Use System Preferences to restore your settings.
■ If resetting PRAM doesn’t solve the problem, reset non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM). When the “To continue booting ...” message appears, type “reset-nvram” and press Return. Then type “reset-all” and press Return.
Post back the results.

Mac Mini just boots to grey screen - help!

My trusted mac mini a1176 (intel 1.66GHz) has always worked fine but now it just has a grey screen when it starts. There is no chime, and if I leave it long enough a picture of a file with a ? in it appears.
The events leading up to this could have an effect, I am not sure. The original hard drive had a mac and a PC division. I took this drive out 6 months ago and fitted a larger one. This larger one had a carbon copy of the mac part of the original drive made on it. I did not put the PC division on it. All worked fine since. Today I wanted to boot up the PC partition on the original drive so I put the old drive in a USB enclosure, plugged it in and then in settings chose to boot from the PC part of this drive. This is the last thing useful the mini did. It just went to grey screen on restart. So then unplugged the external drive, still no boot. Since then I have tried.
Pressing differen buttons on restart
Putting leopard instal disk in drive ( this is he os I am using)
Disassemble mini and put he original disk back in
SMC reset
Take out extra ram
Disconnected every other peripheral.
I use a apple wired keyboard
A dell mouse (I have a Bluetooth apple one)
Any suggested next steps would be warmly appreciated? Would the logic board just go like that? It seams a bit of a coincidence!
Thanks and sorry for he spelling, this is from my iPhone.

Here is YouTube video of what the screen is now doing.

My iMacG5 will only boot to white screen, gray apple and spinning gear. Help?

My iMacG5 will only boot to white screen, gray apple and spinning gear. Help?
Also not totally sure if it's an Intel based computer, but that's what I recall. Any way to check, since I can't get to About This Mac window?
It's running on OSX Leopard 10.5.4
First symptom = running slowly - then it kind of froze with color wheel spinning - thought a forced shut down would help - help power button til off, then white screen, gray apple and spinning gear.
Have tried...
1. Turn off the computer by choosing Shut Down from the Apple menu, or by holding the power button until the computer turns off.
2. Unplug all cables from the computer, including the power cord.
3. Wait 10 seconds.
4. Plug in the power cord while simultaneously pressing and holding the power button on the back of the computer.
5. Let go of the power button.
6. Press the power button once more to start up your iMac.
Then try booting from your install disc again.
- No change
And...
Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
2. Restart the computer.
3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo
appears.
5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
- The fan just got louder.
Thanks for your help.

You need to do an Erase and Install or an Archive and Install depending on whether the hard drive is OK or needs to be reformatted.
Start by booting from your Leopard DVD. The rest is just following directions.
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

Box in middle of screen

My K430 was working fine one day and when I turned it on the next day I had a blue transparent box with the lenovo logo in the middle of my monitor screen. The box stays on the screen all the time now. When I have no programs running I have the box with the lenovo logo in it but when I have a program running I do not have the logo in the box only the outline of the box. I have tried restoring the computer to a previous date with no change and I also used the recovery to change everything to the way it came from the factory but still have the box on the screen. Any help would be appreciated.

hi csweeten,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
Have you tried using other LCD Display?
Also try going into the BIOs Screen,
Turn on the computer and start hitting F1.
this should boot the system into BIOS and check if the BOS exist there,
If yes then this may be an LCD or GPU Issue.
If not then this is all Software Issue.
Regards
Let me know your findings

Droid Razr (not maxx) stuck in boot flash droid screen after a server initiated OTA ICS upgrade. How do I recover?.

I am stuck in the boot flash droid screen after a server initiated OTA ICS upgrade. I have an email from Verizonwireless confirming that the ICS upgrade is complete. But I am not able to use the phone. Any I help appreciated getting back to my phone working. I am not much care about ICS or GB. I am paying over 100 each month and any down time over 2 days is unacceptable.
In the forum I see lot of people had a problem and since Vierzonwireless or Motorolla has not publicly accepted this as a issue. Also the server push upgrade was poorly timed, I was away from my home town on a road trip over the mountains and valley where the 4G network is spotty and the phone battery was draining often while using the GPS navigation.
Thanks for the forum and appreciate any help to get back to working..

Sorry the update came at such an inconvenient time Beachcrafter. I hope you were still able to have a good roadtrip. It sounds like the signal flux in the mountains along with a lower battery may have contributed to the update bringing up the boot flash screen you mentioned. The option ejf74 mentioned about how to go into the recovery screen is a great way to restart the Droid. I would recommend starting with the reboot option though. If needed, the wipe data/factory reset option would be able to bring your phone back to how it came out of the box. The wipe data/factory reset option will erase everything on your device memory. You'll get to keep the ICS upgrade that was completed, but you'll need to log back into Gmail and all your other services and apps to start using your device again.

FIX: IPad turns on and off in a loop during charging, boots to home screen and reboots

Ok, after having my ipad 2 3rd Generation for about a year, its bombed out on me,playing on it until battery drained. Didn’t think anything of it, plugged into charge thinking it would be charged by the morning. This didn’t happen.
It was stuck on the apple sign, booted to home screen and switched off again due to low battery. Continued on this loop for the whole day……
I searched the internet and it seemed all doom and gloom that I would need to by another one. Then I stumbled upon a forum where the advice so far has worked for me.
The reason why it gets stuck in a loop is because the IPad was not shut down manually, so therefore keeps trying to boot up soon as it has some battery power. Problem is, its gone beyond a point and now and there isn’t enough battery life to boot to main or home screen after apple logo.
The remedy is quiet simple, follow these steps to get the ipad to home screen to power it down so it has sufficient time to charge up and boot normally and get off the endless loop.
Plug into wall socket to get it charging.
Wait until the apple logo appears and wants to boot up.
QUICKLY hold down home button and reset/ sleep button at the same time until it reboots.
Release buttons now. should now power down and reboot
Repeat step 3 at least 30 to 40 times which is about 10 minutes in duration everytime you see the logo appear on the screen.
Now Let IPad boot up fully, should see home screen with about 2% battery life
QUICKLY hit the rest/ sleep button down for about 2 to 5 seconds.
Swipe the screen to when slider appears to switch off the ipad.
This will now power down the IPad which now will not reboot by itself so it can now charge without any interruption’s.
Allow battery to charge for a least an hour or two without trying to put it on.
Switch the IPad on
You should now have about 10 to 20% battery Life
Power it down again by holding the reset/ Sleep button down again and swipe the screen to power down, let it charge fully to 100% now which will take few hours
Enjoy your IPad again
Lesson learnt. When your battery power is low, dont wait for it drain completely, rather power the pad down manually and let it charge when there is only about 2 to 4% battery life left.
Hope this guide helps people with the same problem as I had. Took me about 2 days of research and searching until I found a solution that worked. Hopefully this will assist anyone going through the same pain, and possibly not have to buy another one which seems to be the case when people take the pad to an istore with the same issue.
Cheers,

I tried to restore using recovery mode it give error 4013, also tried the same with iMac with my friend again error.
Let me give little more details:
1. After iOS 8.2 upgrade, 2-3 days often 3-4 times a day it used to restart again and again then will get Home screen.
2. Also at times it happened, it boots again and again left the device as it is then it comes to Home screen.
3. Lastly it did the same behavior but it did not boot up, but keep booting again and again apple logo is shown then restart
4. Tried to get into recovery mode, windows PC error 4013, now in the recovery mode.
My Battery was in good condition, when it happened it was ~80% now may be very less did not charge until now.
I read somewhere in the forum keep re-starting manually again and again, someone said since it did not shutdown properly there is a problem, please help.
The device is 1.2 yrs old ONLY.
Best regards
Prabu

Lenovo G560 - Issue with won't boot and black screen after HDD upgrade

Lenovo G560 - Issue with won't boot and black screen after HDD upgrade.
What happen: My laptop was working fine, no blue screen issue, no funny business at all. I bought a new SSD Intel 120 GB and thought it would be a good idea to replace the HDD. I shutdown and disconnected the power adapter, waited a couple of minutes and removed the battery. I opened up the back case and replaced the HDD. And put all the screws back and put the battery back in.
Problem: The very first time I turned the power on, nothing happens besides a black screen. I pressed the dvd drive it works and opens up and closes. I waited for about 30 mins and still has blac screen. When I mean black screen, no bios menu, no logo, just a black screen with the fan sound on.
I have tried these:
1. Unplugged everything - battery, adapter, and pressed the power on button for about 60 seconds, nothing, the laptop turns on with the LED display on for both on and battery LED's. But nothing but black screen, no sound of windows loading just the fan and black screen.
2. I tried putting back my old 2.5" and nothing but black screen.
Thoughts and suggestions?
Solved!
Go to Solution.
