HP pavilion 751n desktop recently replaced motherboard and now windows won't boot up.

Keep getting the screen asking to start in safe mode etc. Tried using the recovery cd to reinstall all of the programs but it says I can only use this on an HP pavilion, I'm guessing because I replaced the motherboard it is not recognizing the computer as one. Any way around this or is there something else I should try first? Running windows xp.

Hi… I don’t this has anything to do with Network Name or old Wireless Network connection. Might be some of the system files are missing or gone corrupt. I would suggest you boot the system in safe mode and restore the system to a restore point dated 15 days back. This will help you to boot the system in normal mode.

Replaced router and now XP won't boot

Okay, hope this makes sense. Had a Linksys (older model) and removed to place a new router in with more power. Got setup and didn't remove old wireless connections beforehand and now, I can't boot up Windows XP unless in Safe Mode. Not sure if I have to remove the Networkname or what, but its late and I've probably been looking at this too long. After spending time with ISP trying to get them to reboot modem so connection would work, something got hosed up along the way.
Any help on trying to fix would be greatly appreciated!

Partitions changed to DYNAMIC and now Windows won't boot

I made a significant error when trying to format a new partition by letting Windows Disk Manager convert all partitions from Basic to Dynamic (I am not sure why this is even possible, let alone the default action).
My W510 boots just fine, but the bootloader no longer loads an OS. I had both W7P and Ubuntu 11 in the menu. Memtests were also available.
How do I fix the bootloader?

I'd probably try converting those dynamic disks back into basic. There's probably some program to do it either from a bootable environment. Otherwise, plug the drive into a secondary slot in another system and do it from there.

My hard drive failed, has been replaced, and now it won't boot to CD.

My hard drive failed, has been replaced, and now it won't boot to CD to install the OS package. It would boot for a while, get through the first cd of install and would stop randomly in the next install. I found out that the installation disk was cracked so I went out and purchased the Mac Box Set which includes Mac OS X Snow Leopard, iLife '09 and iWork '09 under advisement from an associate at the local apple store. Now, I try installing this new OS disk and all I get is the apple logo without a spinning wheel for about 10 minutes and the computer restarts and does it again. I have tried booting from disk, holding c while starting up, and in safemode, holding shift while booting. Please help save my poor poor macbook!!!

These errors look like corrupt or missing files that leopard requires. It sound like you need to start from scratch: format your drive, reload Leopard. I realize that this is probably what you are trying to do.
If you cannot boot from install DVD and cannot successfully get into Safemode or Single usermode (due to a corrupt or incomplete install) then you will need another computer to assist you.
If you can get it into Target Disk Mode and have another Mac you could plug it into that Mac and reformat it.
If it will not go into TDM then you may need to take it out and put it into an external enclosure to plug into another Mac to format it.

Installed os X Mountain Lion and now computer won't boot (first had keyboard issues-reverse caps)

Hi all,
I just updated my macbook air to osX mountain lion and now it will not boot at all.. At first I was having issues with the keyboard and keys typying weird characters.. and the caps lock was stuck on reverse. Now I have nothing.. Can someone help.

What happens when you try to boot?

Just tried to install the recent updates and now Mac won't boot.

Clicked restart and was presented with a screen that said "none of the software updates could be installed, an unexpexected error occured" I clicked OK, was was left wi a blank screen that did nothing. So I powered down, and restarted, now I'm presented with a UnIx screen indicating "unable to find driver for this platform" and a window instructing me to restart.
Restarting in any mode, shift, command, command s, etc will not move me past the Mac OS version not yet set screen.
This is a mess. I installed Lion over the Internet and do not have a startup disk I can use to recover and reinstall to even restore from my Tme Capsule ... Isn't there a way I can install over the Internet?

Holding down Option seemed to get me into recovery mode, where I was able to run disk first aid, to repair the disk and permissions.
It repaired dozens of permissions, and stated the HD was OK, but restored boot drivers.
However, I still cannot startup, getting the exact same message.
At this point should I restore from my Time Capsule, or should I reinstall Lion and then restore from my Time Capsule?
Or is there any other way to recover at this point?

HT201628 My girlfriend accidentally rebooted her iPod during an update, and now it won't boot. How can this possibly be fixed?? She says the OS has been wiped. You know how to fix this??

My girlfriend believes she's wiped out the OS on her iPod 4th generation she said she did this by accidentally rebooting her iPod during an update, and now her iPod just shows the apple logo then fades to white. My question is, can this be fixed? Or is a new iPod necessary??

If you live near an Apple store take it in for diagnosis. Don't forget to make an appointment online first. If you don't live near a store, you may get help by searching "youtube" for DFU Restore ipod. This is not difficult to do but it requires proper timing to get the device into DFU mode.

My macbook pro fell and now it won't boot - superdrive issue?

Hi everyone,
I had a dreadful accident today. My macbook pro (mid 2007) model fell from the table; the lid opened up a little bit but thankfully the display wasn't damaged. The thing is that it won't boot; the screen remains black. The superdrive makes continuously this noise it does when the mac wakes from sleep or boots, and the boot process doesn't go any further. I have already reset its BIOS cache by removing the battery, but with no success.
Anyone familiar with this type of problem? Any chance it is coverable with applecare?
Thank you in advance,

It's hard to diagnose but you do have a problem. Take it to an Apple store or AASP and have them diagnose your damage. And, no AppleCare does not cover user accidents. Check with your homeowners insurance.

I installed 10.4.8 and now classic won't boot.

I installed the 10.4.8 update on my G5 at work and classic won't boot up now. I use one and only one app in the classic mode (because the IT dept won't update the server software) so now I am lost without my email. It freezes right before it gets to the end of the boot process. It is very frustrating!
Any and all advice would be grately appreciated.
G5, Power book & Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.8)
G5, Power book & Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Try these in this order (it has been so long, I can't remmeber the exact places things are located):
1. There is a way to start with extensions off. Do that. If it works, the problem is in Classic. Reinstall it.
2. Remove the 3 things that are installed in the Cloassic System Folder (all have the name Classic in them), that are installed when you first launch Classic. Launch Classic again, and it will ask to reinstall them.

Probook 6550b replaced motherboard and now have an error message

Hi,
I have replaced the motherboard in a Probook 6550b and have now had the following couple of errors. If it is turned off for any reason I get "ME region is not locked. Remove AC and DC of the system and boot again." I can get around this by pressing the Windows Key and the left,down and right cursor keys when I next switch it on. I then get "Hard GPIO-33 To lock To lock SPI, do global reset or remove AC and DC power then boot after updating SPI." I can run DMIFIT but this doesnt seem to rectify the issue as it errors on the last bit with VPro error 7. does anyone have any idea how to fix this as it is not under warranty anymore and I cant really give it back to my customer in this state? Why do HP have to make it so difficult to replace parts on laptops after there warranty has expired with the prices of the spares making them uneconomical to repair? many thanks in advance on this.

I assume the version you updated to is 7.0.4?????
The update should not have anything to do with the charging cable.
Try a reset (hold the home and power buttons down until the Apple logo appears).

Desktop icons blink on and off; computer won't boot

I was recently trying to view a quick time file on a dvd when I got the message that some components may be missing to view the file. I downloaded the components from Avid and put them into my quicktime folder (Library>>>Quicktime folder).
When that didn't work, I removed the older component that had been in the folder and tried to to view the DVD again. This time I was unable to even open Quicktime. I tried to return the "old" component back into the Quicktime folder, but kept getting an error message. Something along the lines of "an unexpected error occured."
I then attempted to reboot the computer. That's when the trouble really started.
My computer now gets to my desktop; all the icons blink on and off, and then the computer seems to try and try to start. I assume that the component I removed was in the start up sequence, but a) I don't know for sure, b) I, of course, can't get on to find out, and c) even if that is the problem, I don't know how to fix it without getting that error message.
Has anyone experienced this problem? Any thoughts? All assistance will be HIGHLY appreciated. Thank you.
LHT

Restart your machine with the Command and S keys held down, and enter the following commands:
mount -uw /
mv /Library/QuickTime/ /Library/QuickTime_old/
exit
Your computer should then continue the startup sequence; if it finishes starting up, the components you installed were responsible for your issue. My own /Library/QuickTime/ folder is empty, so the folder doesn't contain anything critical.

Pavilion G7 wireless adapter stopped working and now will no longer boot.

I bought a Pavilion G7 about 7 months ago.
After a couple of months, the wireless adapter stopped working, it just disappeared from the Device Manager (Win7 Home).
I reset the computer to factory settings and it fixed that problem.
One month after this, the wireless adapter problem returned, I tried to use system recovery to restore it to a previous point, no luck.
I closed the laptop after this, didn't turn it off.
Opened it up and decided to watch a video I had on there, I had to pause the video halfway through (used Windows media player). Came back to continue watching and the screen was black. No lightbar activity, just blackness.
I pressed a few buttons, nothing.
Decided to do a hard reset (hold the power button for 8 seconds) then I left it and turned it on again, the blank screen returned, no signs of life, no boot, no HDD activity, nothing. The caps lock button was on, the wireless light (of course) was orange.
What on Earth has gone wrong? What can I do to fix this?
Thanks.
