G580 Problems re-booting if certain USB devices still attached

I have had several instances when my laptop has failed to boot up - it does that horrible long-winded attempting to restart palaver with scary messages. So far I have always got it up somehow, eventually. This seems to happen if I leave certain USB devices plugged in - they work perfectly fine on my other, cheaper, down-level, laptops, but cause my G580 to completely lose the plot.  It is probably my USB 2,0 hub, but might also be my USB 2.0 cheap keyboard. I know the solution is to remove these devices and shutdown before it gets the chance to lose the plot - but is there a fix so that this isn't necessary?

i have had plenty of experience with this exact problem, except mine was worse as even if i plugged ina  usb mouse it wouldnt work, and weird things like caps lock locking my mouse movement happenbed anyways.
The fix was to buy a PCI -> USB card, a PCI card with 4 usb ports basically, it was under ten english pounds and fixed all my usb problems.
This is the one i got btw

i didnt look far but i guess thatw as a fair price.

  • MBP will not boot up with USB devices connected

    I have a late 2010 MBP 15 10.7.2 that will no longer boot up if any USB devices are attached. A dongle, a hub, anything. It goes to the gray screen and stays there. Disconnecting all USB devices the MBP will boot up. Then connecting the USB devices they work. It just will not boot up with anything connected to the USB ports. I have reset PRAM, SMC and fixed disk permissions. Made sure login items are ok, and start up disk is correct. I cant really say when the problem started as it worked fine before, maybe on 10.7.1? Not sure.
    Any suggestions for a fix?

    I re-installed the 10.7.2 combo. It booted up with a non powered usb 4 port hub but it disabled it. Plugging it out then in again and it works. Looks like the USB firmware has changed somehow in 10.7.2, The hub works on PC's at work no problem, and it worked on the MBP without issue previously. Its not just the non powered hub its a powered hub, and other devices.
    Any solutions?

    Repeatedly tap the F10 key when you start the computer.  Disable Secure Boot and enable Legacy boot.  Then you will be able to change the boot order.

  • Portege A100 PPA10A - Will BIOS update allow to boot from a USB device

    Hi,
    I have an Old Portege A100, Model: PPA10A-0002LP, but I can't seem to find that model on any Toshiba website, closest I've seen is the " PPA10A-0002L".
    I'm wanting to see if there's a BIOS update that will allow me to Boot from a USB Device.
    The issue I am having is that I need to reinstall Windows, but the CD ROm cant read discs.
    It does Network Booting PXE, but i'm new to this sort of thing and have absolutly no idea what to do there.
    Any help would be great,
    Thanks

    Hi
    Portege A100 seems to be developed only for Australian market.
    As you said there is a Portege A100 PPA10A-0002L model number listed on the Toshiba Australian page but the Portege A100 PPA10A-0002LP belongs to the same series which is PPA10A.
    So in my opinion the BIOS should work too.
    Anyway, I doubt that the BIOS update will add any further booting options.
    Usually the BIOS support the booting from CD/DVD drive, HDD, LAN and USB FDD.
    It should be possible to boot from a bootable diskette using an USB FDD drive.
    I doubt you would be able to boot from USB ODD since this Portege A100 supports an internal CD/DVD drive.

  • Can Satellite L40-139 boot from a USB device?

    Hello,
    I have a new L40-139. Looking through the BIOS I cannot find an option to boot from a USB device such as a USB HDD or USB flash drive. Could someone confirm if teh L40-139 can boot from USB, and is so how to configure the BIOS for this.
    If it cannot does anybody know if there are plans for a BIOS update that would allow this?
    I have to admit that while I like the L40, I am disappointed at how limited the BIOS is.
    Thanks,

    Hello
    I am not 100% sure but, as far as I know, you can not use USB HDD as first bootable device. USB FDD yes, but with external HDD it will not work.

  • Are mobile internet USB devices still not working on Snow Leopard?

    Are mobile internet USB devices still not working on Snow Leopard? I actually had to go back to my previous operating system to get this to work. I would however prefer to use Snow Leopard...if Apple & HUAWEI have finally got their act together!

    There appears to be a problem with drivers for USB wireless modems with 10.6. I upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard and now can't connect to the internet with my wireless modem. I hope Apple sort this out soon. Or maybe it's Huawei that needs to put a 10.6 driver into its software.

  • Problems mounting a Camera as USB device [RESOLVED]

    Usually, when I plug in my Canon PowerShot Pro 1 to my Archlinux laptop, I get an icon appearing on my desktop.  I just double click on this icon and Nautilus opens up showing the individual photos.
    However, I've recently invoked pacman -Syu and now I find there is no such icon registering.

    Thanks for the suggestions guys but neither worked.  Pudge, I was already part of the camera group.  Logging out and logging back in didn't fix it.  Interestingly, when I followed rayjgu3's suggestion I can't see any block device in /dev being created when I plug the camera in.  That suggests to me that this is the problem: no creation of a block device even though the device is recognised by the kernel (result from dmesg | tail).
    I'm out of my depth here.  Why would the kernel recognise the device but fail to create a block device for it?

  • Satellite 1800-804: How to boot from a USB device?

    I have a satellite 1800-804 and i like to know how to boot the notebook from a usb device.

    Hi
    If you want to boot from USB device you should press down U key on keyboard just after pressing power button but I dont know if this will work (as far as I know it works with external FDD device).
    Try to boot up the unit with start disk (FDD) and load the MS-DOS driver for the external CD/DVD-ROM if you can find it on manufacturers download page.

  • Disable forced bitlocker encryption for certain USB devices

    Is it possible to specify certain USB removable devices to not be Bitlocker encrypted?  Example - A GPS so the user can do updates.  I didn't see any way to do this via policy.

    No, the reason is this, bitlocker is not going to make any difference between the devices based upon the hardware ID; it only takes the class of the device while applying the policies.

  • Prevent certain USB devices from receiving power

    I need to prevent devices such as cellphones from receiving power from a USB port while at the same time allowing for other devices that we use in the enterprise to function correctly. I have been unsuccessful in my research. I would like to have this

    Hi JustIT28,
    As far as I know Windows don’t have the USB device type detection ability, may you can ask your computer hardware vendor for the further help, or you can Bing
    the USB security software keywords then choose some third party USB security management software.
    I’m glad to be of help to you!

  • Cannot boot from external USB device

    Hi,
    I have an iMac with a superdrive that is not working. This gives me a lot of trouble, because I want to install windows.
    Some month ago, I bought an external USB DVD drive, and hoped that it would help. But I quickly experienced that it did not, since I could not get boot camp to use it.
    Today, I was sure that I found a good solution. I ran into a site that explains how to use en external DVD to install windows on macbook air which have no internal DVD.
    http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/9136/macbook-air-install-windows-7-with-boot-camp -without-an-external-dvd-drive/
    Unfortunately this do not work - for me and my iMac.
    First I installed the rEFIt tool and this works fine. The external DVD shows up as a bootable device.
    But when I try to start the windows installer from the external DVD, the system just hangs and shows a windows logo with no color. This operation I carry out by selecting the external DVD in the eEFIt menu.
    Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    I don't know about the link you gave, I can only pass on my experience.
    I made my bootable Windows7 X64 install disk by this method:-
    "This method is used to create a new install disk if you have your authentic Windows 7 disk. Don't sweat it; it's much easier than it looks.
    Note: you will need to do this on a PC
    In your C drive, create these two folders: c:\windows7exe c:\windows7dvd
    Go to this link http://rapidshare.com/files/297067205/oscdimg.exe and download Oscdimg.exe. Place it into c:\window7exe folder
    Insert your Windows 7 disk into your DVD drive For this example, we will refer to it as the D drive.
    You need to open a DOS prompt window. Do this by going to start/programs/accessories/command prompt
    Your default command prompt will look something like C:\Users>.
    At the prompt type cd c:\windows7exe
    Your command prompt should now look like c:\window7exe>
    At the command prompt, type in exactly (or copy and paste):
    oscdimg.exe -n -m -bd:\boot\etfsboot.com d:\ c:\windows7x64.iso
    Note: the letter d in the above command refers to your DVD drive, change it if your DVD drive is labled with a different letter.
    Press Enter. This will begin creating a new disk image. You should see a response in the DOS window that displays its progress.
    When the process is complete, you will find a new disk image of your Windows 7 disk in the folder labeled c:\windows7X64
    Now that you have a new disk image, you need to burn it onto a disk using ImgBurn. This is a free utility which you can download from here: http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download
    Place a blank DVD into your DVD RW drive.
    Launch ImgBurn and select "Write image file to disc". In the Source window, find your newly burned image in the c:\windows7X64 folder. Click on the disc icon at the bottom of the window to begin the burning process.
    Voila! You have a new Windows 7 installation disk which will install with no problems. "
    .....which is on this thread
    May not be any use to you without an internal DVD RW which works.
    In your shoes I would really want to get my internal superdrive working.
    A quick look at iFixit suggests the iMac uses a standard laptop DVD RW which are readily available, but perhaps I am missing something.

  • Booting from USB device

    Hello. I'm having the following problem:
    My laptos in a HP Pavilion Sleekbook H14-b164la
    I'm trying to boot from an USB device since my laptop lacks an optical drive, in order to install an OS (Ubuntu) alongside with the included already in the PC (Windows 8).
    I've made the USB bootale using UnetBootin and tested it in my desktop PC, and it worked just fine. On the contrary, while trying to try it on the laptop, it never booted from the USB drive. It always went straight for Windows.
    I've set the bootable order right (both first USB Diskette on KEY/USB Hard Disk, and also USB CD/DVD Rom Drive) with and without the Legacy Booting enabled.
    I've ran out of ideas. Please help.
    Thanks in advanced.

    Thank you for your response, but you can be a little more specific.
    Should I or should I not disable Secure Boot? I've tried both ways, still nothing.
    Also, on the Boot Manager it doesn't appear the option for USB. In fact it only gives two options:
    OS boot Maganer
    Boot From EFI File
    When I select the latest, it gives two more options (which seems to be the usb i've got plugged in, but if I choose any, in kinda goes inside and start browsing it's folders, I don't really know.
