Laptop will not startup.. please help!!

I have a L505D-S5983 w/ Windows 7 that will not start up. when i turn the power on everything looks good, the Toshiba screen pops up like always, then this black "Windows Error Recovery" screen pops up and gives me 2 options 1) Launch Startup Repair and 2) Start Windows Normally. ive dealt with this issue many times on many computers and either option always gets the computer running, but with this machine whenever i press "Start Windows Normally", the screen with the little wavey Windows flag pops like its loading up for about 15 seconds then the computer automatically restarts to the Toshiba screen. when i click the "Launch Startup Repair" option it shows a small progress bar at the bottom of the screen for about 5 seconds then goes to a completely blank black screen with only the arrow pointer showing and just stays there. ive let it sit for over an hour like that and nothing changes. i did a memory diagnostic check which did nothing. im a novice w comps so i dont know what to do. i lost my backup recovery CD so that wont help. could i download one somewhere? would that fix my problem? im so frustrated.. ive had nothing but problems with this laptop since the day i bought it. but i need it running asap. i greatly appreciate any help!!!

first, don't panic!  just kidding
if you have not already made recovery discs then you will have to order them from toshiba.  that is, unless we are able to use the hidden partition to restore to out-of-box state.  Before that though, you should try a few things as going to out-of-box is going to compeltely wipe everything off of your computer. 
turn off computer, then when you turn on, spam (hit once ever second) the f8 key and see if you can get into emergeny boot options menu.  If it doesn't go in first try, try at least 4-5 more times as it's all about timing the f8 key.  if successful, try to boot into safe mode.  if you have made it that far, post back.

  • TS1717 iTunes will not open- please help!

    My iTunes will not open.  I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but the same message keeps showing up when I try to open iTunes.   The error reads "C\Windows\system32\dssenh.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error.  Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support."  
    Please Help!!!

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with one of the Windows OS dlls associated with Cryptographic Services.
    I'd first try the fixit from the following Microsoft document. (One of the things it does is reregister your copy of the dssenh.dll file.)
    You cannot install some updates or programs
    ... but if you still get the issue, I'd try an sfc /scannow as per the instructions in the following document:

  • My Iphone Will Not Restore, Please Help.

    Hello,
    I fell asleep while facetiming, I woke up and found that my iphone will not turn on, which is odd, since I was charging it. I then took it off my charger and then put it back on. The Iphone 4 then showed the Apple Insignia for about 10 seconds, then became a dark screen, then back to the insignia. It did this repeated flashing for a good ten minutes. I then took it off the charger and the phone stopped flashing and it became totally dead. I tried pressing the home button, and the top button, but there was no effect. I then plugged in my Iphone to the computer and put it into recovery mode. I tried to restore it, but it continually keeps getting an error (21). I tried it on a different computer, will not restore, but got a different error (I believe it was the error (1604)). I tried restoring it multiple times, I updated my Itunes to the latest version, I made sure my connection was well. I tried taking my Iphone off of recovery mode, but it did not work.
    I suspect that my problems are due to the fact that my Iphone will not stay on without being connected to a power source, and that is the reason for all the errors. I tried it on different USB ports and different computers. Please correct me if I am wrong, and please help me figure out what I should do next. I do not mind losing all my contacts, but I do mind if I have to spend money on a new phone, afterall, I barely even had this phone for a year.
    So Please, I am begging. Please help me and tell me why doesn't my phone stay on without being connected? Is it because I fell asleep while facetiming and because neither of us hung up it over-heated and killed the battery? Is there an easy way to fix this since I am technologically-impaired? Is there any hope for me and my Iphone's future?
    Any answer will be very much appreciated.
    Thank You.

    It sounds to me like you either got defective parts or otherwise did not make the repair correctly. We cannot help  with self-repairs here, the iPhone officially not user servicable, but you can ask for advice in the forums on ifixit.com, a site which is dedicated to those attempting their own repairs.

  • My iPhone is stuck in DFU mode but it will not restore please help me!

    What happened to my phone was I was having screen issues so i replaced it and it worked normally for about 5 minutes and then the screen went black. After the screen went black, it came back on with the "connect to itunes screen". Since then i've tried to restore it and no good has cone fron trying. Sometimes itunes will tell me that it can't be restored because of the build of the phone or itunes will give me a different error code. Itunes also will make it as far as the restore screen where itunes is saying waiting for iphone and the iphone screen is on with the white loading line under the apple but the line will not move no matter how long you give it time to load. I've tried pretty much all the techniques to reslove my issue. I've even used tiny umbrella, and redsnow to try and kick it out of recovery mode but that does is make the apple logo pop up and fade out until the screen is black and then pop up again. Can someone please help me?

    I have a iPhone 4s that I am trying to syn. when I look at IPhone content it shows music, but there is this symbol  A dotted circle and these will not play. Please help as I am frustrated.

    Try restoring the iPhone to factory settings. If you are having difficult restoring, put the iPhone into Recovery Mode and see if that then works:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If not, or if a restore to factory settings does not fix the problem, then your iPhone may have a hardware problem. You can only get the iPhone serviced by Apple in Canada, so you will have to take the iPhone there or send it to someone you know in Canada who can get the iPhone serviced and send it back to you. The only option for getting service in Pakistan would be to pay some unauthorized repair shop to attempt a repair, after which Apple will no longer provide any service even in Canada.

  • Transitions will not load - PLEASE HELP!!

    I've been dealing with this for some time ... when I'm in the edit window and click on transitions, they will not load. I've spent a lot of time online with support and got only temporary use of transitions. The first time I visited support, the tech was able to take control of my computer and get them working. That lasted for a few days, then they quit working again. I went back to support and a different tech didn't get me all the way through the process, and ended the session after telling me to remove and reinstall, which I did (again). Still, there is no functionality of transitions. They appear to be loading, but I've waited up to 30 minutes before I've clicked out. Please, can someone help me out?

    The red lines that Steve was referring to, are when you drag your Clips to the Timeline, prior to doing any editing.
    It is natural for red lines to appear above Clips, when any overlay, or Effects are added to the Clips, such as a Title, a Transition, or any parameter/Keyframing done to the Clip. That indicates that for smoothest playback, one would want to Render the Clips (or Timeline), for the best playback.
    Having an HP, I would go to HP's Web site, and check for a newer video driver.
    Steve's question on the screen resolution is a good one, as to get the full display of the GUI, there is a minimum screen resolution.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Flash player will not install please help.

    I am running IE and windows 8. flash works fine for chrome and any other web browser I use. The program I use for work speficially uses IE for maps and they will not load. I have unistalled and tried reinstalling, i tried to use it before when it was already installed on my computer, ive changed all the settings in internet options to what the help page says.  When i try to reinstall at the get.adobe all i get is a the page with the adobe logo,  but where it should have the doanload button and all the information it is just white... please help i need to get this solved before monday.

    Flash Player for IE in WIndows 8 is modified and embedded in the browser by Microsoft. You cannot update it or reinstall it from here... ONLY through Windows Update. There's a Microsoft KB update installed that prevents any modification outside of Windows Update for the ActiveX plugin in WIndows 8 or 8.1.
    Firefox, Opera and Safari use a standard Flash Player plugin. Chrome (like IE) has its own porprietary build (called "PepperFlash"), which is modified and embedded in the browser by Google. It functions independently of the Standard or ActiveX plugins.
    The problem you're seeing ISN'T a Flash Player problem. It's a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released it. The pages (or in this case the app) can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
    Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
    Adobe can't fix this because Internet Explorer 11 isn't their product and the problem is in the browser itself, not the plugin.

  • Dv9812us Laptop will not startup

    I have a Pavilion dv9812us.  The problem is that when I turn on the laptop,  all of the LEDs (minus the caps LEDs) flash on and the fan kicks on for a sec.  Then it turns off.  It then repeats this cycle of on and off over until I unplug the AC adapter and remove the battery.  This occurs in every combination of powering up (ac+battery, battery only, ac only).
    What this tells me is that it is trying to power up, something interrupts the process, so the computer re-tries to boot up after shutting down, but the same error occurs so its a cycle.  The error occurs before there is any screen activity.  Based on another thread I did tried to reboot the computer without the HD in, but that wasn't the problem.
    There had been signs of thing happening before this.  The power button would not respond after it went into hibernation.  In those instances I would have to remove the battery to get it to turn on.  This led me to believe that it was a battery problem at first, but now it seems like  a bios or motherboard problem.  But, I'm not sure.  Is there a fix?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
