HELP!! 700W STUCK IN TREO SPLASH SCREEN

My Treo 700w seems to be bricked -- all I get is the first splash screen upon inserting the battery. The power button will not turn the unit off.  Cannot re-flash unit via activesync because USB won't work either. 
I've executed multiple hard resets and even though the reset "erase" message appears the unit goes right back to Treo splash screen after tapping "up" but no progress bar appears.
Is there a way to re-flash via SD card? 
This seems a common problem with w and wx units, there are two similar posts with over 900 views and no replies or solutions, what's going on that neither Verizon or Palm can deal with this?

For those finding this page and saying $%#*, there is a solution!
You can use an SD card and reinstall the rom (OS) update directly from there without using your data cable.
Instructions for updating ROM
Format SD Card as FAT32.
Copy Rom image to root of SD card.
Remove Battery from phone, and unplug the power cord.
Reinsert BATTERY while holding the up volume button on the side of the phone.
Follow on screen prompts.
Once the update starts, PLUG IN your power cord. You don't want the battery to go dead while updating.
Wait for approximately 20 minutes for the update to complete.
Once you align page and close the tour, it may look like it needs to update again. Click cancel/exit!

  • Tecra A9 stuck on the splash screen

    Hello,
    I'm new to your forum and hope to find help.
    I have a Toshiba Tecra A9 stuck on the splash screen after my intervention in the bios to boot from a USB stick.
    _DETAILS:_
    At the start, it turns more on the startup screen with the 5 symbol of choice (hard disk, USB, etc.).
    Clicking on a symbol and nothing responds I can not enter the bios.
    It is displayed at the top of the screen: In Touch With Tomorrow TOSHIBA and five symbols.
    I disconnected two small green battery on the motherboard for 10 minutes, but nothing has changed.
    That said, I do not know if I disconnected the battery good (y 'have it two?).
    It also would it make a metal button battery on the motherboard?
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    Alain

    Hi
    If the notebook cannot pass the Toshiba Splash Screen then this means that the POST (power on self test) cannot be passed properly and this means mostly than an hardware part on the motherboard or the motherboard itself is faulty
    Thats worst case since the mobo is very expensive :(

  • Lenovo g510 stuck in lenovo splash screen

    I bought this g510 less then a year ago without an OS.
    I've installed win7 first then ubuntu14.04, back when i get it.
    Yesterday I deleted my win7 partition and reinstalled a premium sp1 win7 version from a usb formatted as NTFS - as you might have guessed I'm booting the laptop in legaci mode. The installation got stuck and failed and i had to do a hard reset.
    After the hard reset the laptop won't boot and in fact it won't even pass the splash screen or respond to fn+f2 or any other shortcut to get into the bios. Even when i shut it off and press the Novo button it starts but doesn't display the blue utility menu with bios and boot options. Ive tried pressing the power button for 30 seconds witn the battery and power cable disconnected and tried to boot from usb but still nothing.
    I then took the hard drive out and the laptop would boot and respond to novo button and fn+f2 and i can go into bios. It would also boot from usb when the hdd is disconnected. But it dosen't matter which bios settings i change or if the bootable usb is connected, when i hook the hdd back the laptop will just get stuck on lenovo splash screen again and won't respond to Novo button or fn+12 and it won't boot from usb - i should mention it does respond to capslock or the key to make the screen black (fn+f9).
    I have a 1TR samsung sata hdd that seems to be perfectly fine. I don't think its the hdd or any of the hardware and the symptoms are not of defected hdd or anything else i've seen before. It 's also not a uefi problem as i've tried legacy and uefi mode with the same results. Also my usb boot is enabled in the bios just in case you're wondering.
    This has ruined my weekend and about to ruine my week. Help lenovo please save me....?!?

    hi markwills,
    Welcome to the Forums.
    If using another drive works fine on the G510 then I suspect that the stock HDD is failing or has corrupt partitions.
    Can you consider using a 2.5" SATA enclosure to convert the stock HDD into an external drive and try to format the drive and/or run a hardware scan on it using the following:
      - Lenovo Storage Test or
      - HD Tune.
        - http://www.hdtune.com/faq_1.html
    When finished, try to insert it back on the G510 and observe.
    If you get errors on the scan or if the above step is not possible, I recommend you contact warranty support on how to go about getting the unit serviced.

    Please help ...

    Thanks for reply ...
    Your suggested solution does not work

  • Stuck on the splash screen

    Hi,
    I have looked through many websites in search for the answer to my HP Pavilion Slimline s3624uk desktop problem with no joy.   
    The problem is that the computer is stuck on the splash screen. I have tried and tested working USB and PS/2 keyboard and mouse, RAM and processor I know that these devices work by testing them on a different PC.  I have removed hard-drive which loads fine again in a different PC. I have tried to reset Bios / CMOS by placing the jumper on pins 2 and 3. I have also removed CMOS battery and all power to motherboard for a period of two hours. I then reconnected all with the same result stuck on the splash screen.
    I can’t enter into BIOS. I have tried pressing Esc repeatedly as well as F9, F10 and F11 etc.
    Please help...

  • Stuck at BIOS splash screen

    I own a lenovo b570e model 20713.
    I was trying to install Ubuntu 14.04 on it, and after installation I rebooted.
    Now the computer is stuck at boot splash screen, will not let me press f2 or f12. Just hangs there at the splash screen.
    Any suggestions?

    Did you perform a clean install of Ubuntu following the instructions on the Ubuntu forums? There are specific steps required to install Ubuntu on a system that uses UEFI instead of legacy BIOS.
    You can try removing battery and AC power, then hold down power button for more than 30 seconds to reset the UEFI settings.  Once completed, reattach battery and AC power, then enter UEFI and disable Secure Boot.
    Good luck.

  • Vado doesn't boot up / stuck in the splash screen

    My recently bought Creative Vado HD doesn't boot anymore - I press the power button and I only see the red led blink for a second. Before this it used to turn on, but wouldn't get out of the splash screen "VADO HD". (and it wouldnt turn off, only if I took out the battery)
    The camera has frozen sometimes before, but then I would take the battery out and put it in again to have it working ok. Now reinsertingthe battery doesnt fix it.
    If I connect the vado to the pc, it just shows the splash screen and doesnt boot or even charge the battery (I left it connected ov3ernight but It didnt charge the battery, It just killed it because it stayed all night showing the splash screen. - and thats why , i think, it only shows the red light blink instead of showing the splash screen when i try to turn the camera on.
    I dont know if this issue might have triggered the problem but here it is:
    minutes before vado died I connected the vado to my vizio tv and watched some videos. Then I pulled the hdmi cable and connected the camera to the pc. I noticed it wasnt detected at all -- the vado was stuck in the splash screen.
    i cant install a firmware or anything else because the camera is not detected and is stuck in the splash screen.

    Hi Setmedown,
    It sounds like something is wrong with the Vado HD, if you have not already I would suggest contacting our Customer Support.

  • Problem Installing my new graphic card 760GTX Stucks on HP Splash Screen

    I'm using a h9-1185 Windows 7 and I thought I'd update my graphic card from a 7870 to GTX 760 but that was easier said than done. When I try to boot my computer with the new card it stays at the hp splash screen. The GPU is correctly installed I have both cables connected to the PSU. The fans are running properly It's just that I get stuck on the loading screen when I use the gtx 760. I can't press any keys to go to the boot menu, etc. After sitting at the screen for 5 minutes it changes to a black sreen showing at the corner the brand of my Graphic Card (760 PNY etc....) but nothing happens. 
    When I changed it back to the old graphic card Sapphire 7870, it didn't freeze or anything. It worked fine. I was trying to update my BIOS but I think i have the latest update (v7.09).
    Maybe my english isn't good at all, sorry about that.

    John, welcome to the forum.
    Did you install the latest driver for the new video card?  This must be done for it to work properly.
    Also, when you have the new card and driver installed, I suggest clearing the CMOS:
    This motherboard has a jumper to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in CMOS.
    Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.
    Move the jumper to clear for 5 to 10 secs, then move the jumper back to default.
    Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.
    On the next startup, enter BIOS setup to re-enter user settings.

  • Hp Pavilion P6724IT Stuck at HP Splash screen after install of new VGA

    Hello people.
    I buyed a new VGA, a Gigabyte GT740 2GB DDR5, before that i had an Asus GT630 2GB DDR3 and had no problems with it.
    After mounting the new VGA i noticed the computer remains stuck at the initial splash screen with the HP logo.
    Can't even get in to the bios, but if i remove the card and use it's igpu it's all ok.
    I tried to update the bios to the latest version on the HP site (v.7.15) and nothing.
    Tried to install with Windows 8.1, and with windows 7, nothing.
    I tried all things i found on the net of people with the same issue, nothing again.
    If i am fast enough and i press some keys it gets black screen and remains stuck anyway, do some beeps and then go in some kind of standby and if i keep pressed any key it does some cracklin noise.
    Actually i can't afford a new motherboard so i wanted to find out with your help if i can find a solution to the problem, cause it's really frustrating and i spent many time trying to figure it out.
    Sorry for my bad english! 
    Hope someone can help me

    Hello,
    Let me start with: Bad News...
    So I made a huge trial and error, and find no solution...
    Here's the deal:
    1.
    SSD in main position+Stock HDD in the DVD slot
    -Formatted SSD and legacy formated drive+ install of Win7+ all kinds of BIOS Setup- NOT WIRKING
    2.
    SSD in main position + stock HDD in the DVD slot
    -Formatted SSD and used UEFI formated drive+ install of Win7+all kinds of BIOS Setup - NOT WORKING
    3.
    stock HDD in main position + SSD in the DVD slot
    -Formatted SSD and used UEFI formated drive+ install of Win7+all kinds of BIOS Setup
    BIOS recognize the SSD drive, but windows install wont give it in the list, even though I formatted the drive, removed the partitions...etc.
    obviously- NOT WORKING
    4.
    SSD in main position+ DVD ROM
    -Formatted SSD and used UEFI formated drive+ install of Win7 - WORKING FINE
    5.
    SSD in main position+ DVD ROM
     -Formatted SSD and used legacy formated drive+ install of Win7 - WORKING FINE
    The only solution I could come up with is to take the 120GB SSD + mounting rack back to the seller and changed the SSD drive to a Samsung 250 GB 840EVO (Company laptop so thats enough for me), put the DVD back to its place and use the 500 GB stock as external USB 3.0 drive
    Hope I could help...

  • Stuck on FCPX Splash Screen

    I have obviously done something to totally screw (er, corrupt) my installation of FCPX as now when I launch the app, I only get the FCPX splash screen and the menu bar.  Selecting any option from the Window menu shows me nothing.  The splash screen says "Restoring the window layout", but nothing is shown but a large dark gray screen.
    Prior to this, I was also unable to view Project List, and I could consistently get FCPX to crash by just trying to Create New Project.  I've sent a half-dozen crash reports to Apple tonight.  I'm guessing my Project database is corrupt and I will need to take some action to re-create.
    Anyone else seen this or know how to get me out of this situation?
    Grazie.

    We are experiencing a similar problem where FCPX loads but just comes up as one large grey window.   Our operating system is Lion and I wondered if anyone has had a solution that works in Lion?  I couldn't find the same file associations that were described in this thread so I was guessing they were maybe from systems running Snow Leopard? (Primarily, we couldn't find a "Final Cut Pro" layouts folder)  Any help is greatly appreciated! 
    The problem began when one our FCPX projects crashed and then wouldn't reopen.  We removed the project and event from the Final Cut folders which allowed FCPX to reopen except that it went to this grey screen rather than showing the windows.  Everything else (tool bar, dialog boxes, etc.) is functional.  We have re-installed both FCPX and Lion with no improvement.  Thanks again.

  • W540 stuck on ThinkPad splash screen

    I've got W540 (32GB RAM, 500GB HDD) running Windows 7.1 64bit that is constantly getting stalled at the ThinkPad splash screen during powerup.
    It will often stall at the "ThinkPad" splash screen.  
    Other times it will stall at the "ThinkPad" splash screen with the "To interrupt normal startup, pess Enter" message displayed.
    I've seen other entries that reference this issue with:
    - using a SSD, I'm a standard HDD.
    - a broken USB port.  Mine all look OK (is there a way to actually test them?)
    I've updated to the latest Bios and reset the Bios defaults with no change.
    I've run the hardware diagnostic tests and found no errors.
    When I say "stall" on the splash screens I sometimes find if I leave it alone long enough (maybe 5+ minutes) it will continue to the normal Windows boot up.
    This is the 2nd W540 out of a pool of laptops to display symptoms similar to this.
    Anyone got information on what may cause a stall at the ThinkPad splash screen?
    Thanks.

    Not knowing your exact set up, but KNOWING that this is a blind black box with no activity light like a normal workstation, you need to do workarounds.
    Normally, on my older workstation, I could see the HD light blink and the rate would give me an inkling of the process.
    The WORKAROUND: we now need to calibrate your computer clock to your watch, or use a cell phone time keeper which would already be synced if the W540 is connected to the WiFi (no switch so the W540 has to be connected, unless there is no access point).  As an aside, I have found that when there are large MS updates, like last Tuesday, or other such WiFi connected updated, the compute also hangs with the user having NO KNOWLEDGE that the WiFi is talking / or calling home to some cloud device.
    Back to the workaround: Boot the system, and when there appears to be a crash or hang in the sequence, note the time of the 'event' and also note the time when it appears to restart.  Once properly booted, and I cannot tell you how often this has happened to my W540, check the even times in the [Event Viewer].  Too long to explain, Google the term "Win 7 Event Viewer", or check this:
    MS Help - Event Viewer
    Then find out where the computer chokes and restarts by checking the time in the events and the cause.  These are i/o routines which the Lenovo Gods have decide to shield us from such WORKSTATION task.
    FWIW, often I get <Program Not Responding>, when in fact it is performing a numbers intensive task.... yet I cannot tell what is happening as there is no i/o light. Usually unlocks when the task is finished, which may be what is happening on your system.  You need to find out the task that is  causing the wait.
    Odd, the Lenovo Gaming machines Y50 have these lights, albeit atrophied:  see lower 4 indicator lights....

  • GS60-2QE (970M) Stuck at MSI Splash Screen

    Evening all,
    Just went to use my laptop and I'm stuck at the MSI splash screen. I can't get to the BIOS or anything.
    I haven't ever dropped it and it's always handled with care. Last night it was last used and has been working totally fine up until now.
    Any ideas? I've only had it a month so don't want to open it up.
    Cheers
    Will

    There's a reset hole at the right side of the body. Find a paperclip to poke it and power on again to see if it resets your laptop. If it's still stuck on BIOS logo, I am afraid you'll need to send it to MSI service centers.

  • Toshiba Satellite stuck at Toshiba splash screen.

    My computer has been fine for roughly 5 years. Today, when I plugged in a USB stick, it started hitting me with endless "N:\ cannot be found" type messages. I went down to my taskbar, disengaged the usb stick, unplugged, it and restarted my laptop. It is now stuck at the Toshiba splash screen.
    I have tried:
    - Taking out battery, holding power button, returning battery, and powering up.
    - Entering BIOS (won't work - just beeps and freezes)
    - Entering boot menu (won't work)
    - Booting from Windows CD (just stays at Toshiba screen)
    - Booting from a Live Linux CD (same, just won't...)
    I am officially out of ideas and on the verge of just putting the HDD into a case and drawing files from it using a different comp. Any last suggestions? Thanks.

    Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, the HDD is not the cause. In fact, it's now being used on another machine and is working perfectly. The computer does this even with other drives in it, and without a HDD at all (when it should at least go past the splash screen and say no drive or OS is found).
    I still cannot get into BIOS or the boot menu, and it won't boot from a CD or USB drive. I wanted to try resetting the BIOS by reseating the CMOS battery, but it's soldered down and I don't want to risk trying to drain it with wires (a common resort that risks hurting the mobo).
    I think I amy try taking it to some awful repair shop before giving up. Any other thoughts?

  • LENOVO Y2P stuck at Lenovo Splash Screen
