M10 Will Not Boot Up - Suggestions?

I've got a Valet M10 that's about 16 months old and thus out of warranty. Firmware is up to date. Up until a couple weeks ago, it ran fine with no issues at all. My problem comes when I power up in the morning. All of the lights on the unit begin flashing, but never go into a start-up and connection sequence. Initially, I could reboot the router and it would start up fine and run with no issues. The last few days, I have had to disconnect and reconnect the power cord 8-10 times to get it to begin a normal start-up sequence. I'm afraid it's on a slippery slope toward total failure, but that's a terribly short life even for electronics. Any suggestions other than buy a replacement? Thanks very much for your help.

Since the router has the latest firmware, I suggest that you reset the router to the factory defaults. Push and hold the reset button using a pin or a paper clip for 30 seconds then power it off for another 30 seconds. Once the power light is solid, reconfigure the settings of the router. For instructions, you may refer to this link: Setting up your Linksys Wi-Fi Router without using the Setup CD . Observe your connection after the router is reconfigured. If it’s going to behave the same thing then the router could be defective.

Satellite Pro M10 will not boot again and comes up with the error message

My Toshiba Satellite Pro M10 notebook will not boot again and comes up with the error message "load error" when I push the power button.
The problem arised after installation of "symantec system works" and trying to restart windows XP professional to make the installed program executable.
What can I do to get the notbook restart again?

Hi everyone
If you cannot acces to the boot menu by pressing F8 you can try to recover the the master boot record from Windows Xp professional installation Cd, to do this:
Attention: don't run these commands if you have more than one operating systems running in your laptop.
Boot from Windows Xp installation cd
Choose repair installation from console by pressing "C" key.
A console will open asking you for administrator password, insert the password and press enter.
Run de command: FIXMBR (It will write a new boot record)
Run de command: FIXBOOT (It will write a new boot file)
Restart the laptop and now windows should start without problems.

Sat Pro M10 will not boot up anymore

My Sat Pro M10 worked fine until yesterday. I removed the harddrive just to check Part number (as i need to install a larger drive and want to make sure I got it right)and then re-inserted it. Now it boots up as far as the XP Pro loading screen (black background) which disappears and then the screen goes blank. This is what normally happens during boot-up, except that there would be a cursor over the blank background for a few seconds until my desktop appears. Also, when it has stopped at this blank screen the harddrive light on the front of the laptop flashes regularly every few seconds. I desperately need some of the data on the hard-drive (and no, it is not all backed up) so I do not want to use the recovery CD which is just a ghost image (isn't it). The drive is formatted as NTFS. I mention this because when I tried to use the recovery disc to check disc integrity it gave an error message that said the NTFS logfile is not loaded. It will not respond to any of the F8 safemode-type options. I think I have messed up the booting up process somehow by removing the drive rather than physically breaking anything. it seems it can read the boot partition but no further. Can anyone suggest how to fix this, or worst comes to worst a way of retrieving the data from the disc?
Thanks and appreciation in advance,
Chris

Hi Chris
If the system runs stabile you can remove HDD so many times you want and it should have no any influence on anything. I have removed HDD from my Tecra very often and it still works well.
Back to your issue: if there is any possibility try to connect your HDD as external device to other notebook or desktop to see if you can see it and even back up all your important data.
All Toshiba notebooks, I suppose, since two years have NTFS and that is nothing unusual.

Mac mini upgraded; will not boot.. suggestions?

Hello all,
There are other threads with upgrade problems, but they've all been 'answered' and I'm still stuck. I've just attempted an upgrade (1.5 solo to T5500; core 2 duo 1.66, FSB 667), and I seem to be having problems. I've zapped the pram, but when I attempt to power on, the system doesn't boot. My led turns on and I can hear some hardware (though I think its just the fan), but no screen image and no peripherals. The physical installation wasn't perfect, but it went ok.. (I broke one of my nylon posts, like many others; able to replace it with a fix thanks to frantic google searches.) The unit appears to have power, but there's no chime, no disk sounds, and no boot screen. I can't find any solutions posted, so I'll ask. What should I do?

damfair,
(thanks for your help, by the way) Well, here's what I did:
2 weeks prior to upgrading my CPU I decided to upgrade my RAM. I bought some apple-brand 1 GB (x2) modules on craigslist from some guy upgrading his MBP; he didn't need his old sticks, and he was selling them cheap. I 'cracked' open my mini, installed the new RAM, took a quick look around, closed it up, and rebooted. After a soft pram reset, everything booted fine and the computer worked great for the next few weeks. Then, confident from my successful RAM upgrade, I decided I'd up my processing power as well and starting looking for used but decent core 2 duos on eBay. I found a 1.66 GHz core 2 duo for $75 and won one (out of a lot of 20) for $60. The seller shipped the new cpu quickly and when it arrived a few days later I set to work installing it. The physical installation didn't go as smoothly as I'd hoped (I, like many other people, ended up breaking one of my heatsink posts. I was able to find a great fix online though--4-40 nylon screws work almost better than the stock fixtures--and I thought I'd overcome my problems with the upgrade.) After the processor swap, I relocked my cpu socket, "zapped the pram" by pushing the small silver button next to the processor, reconnected ALL of my wire connections and screwed my chassis back together. I left the cover off for a test boot, and I was disappointed to find a non-working computer. I rechecked my connections, even reseated my processor, and combed the forums for possible fixes. All to no avail. To make sure I hadn't damaged my mainboard during the install I even reinstalled my old cpu, and the thing booted fine; no problems whatsoever. I've been in contact with the ebay store that sold the processor and they don't seem to think its busted, but they can't be sure. I was static-safe during the installation and I've even tried reseating my new RAM (thanks to everyone in this forum for the help.) I really don't know what to do next. I'm thinking of asking the ebay people if I could send them this cpu, they'd send me another one (there were a few remaining in the lot after the auction), and I could try another. If the one they sent me IS broken, then they needed to give me another anyway, and if it does work, then no harm sending them back a working processor. I'll update if I can get a new cpu sent to me. Thanks again for any help.

My Mid 2010 MacBook Pro will not boot

My Mid 2010 MacBook Pro will not boot regularly, in safe mode, in recovery mode or from original OS DVD. Is this the logic board?
I've tried resetting the SMC and pram numerous times and even tried switching out hdd's to try and do a clean install on a new hdd.
If I attempt to boot regularly or from recovery drive the grey apple logo appears for a period before the screen goes black and the power LED operates as though in 'sleep' mode. I'm unable to wake it from this state and the same applies to booting in safe mode.
When attempting to boot from the OS DVD that was originally packed with the computer it just freezes on the language select option, this occurs with the other hdd's I have attempted to use.
Any other suggestions to get it working? I fear the logic board has gone and that the repair won't be worth the money.
Thank you in advance.

Hi JRC8.8,
It sounds like you have been on the right track in trying to troubleshoot this issue. You may want to see if your MacBook Pro will boot directly to the Apple Hardware Test, as outlined in the following article:

Problem:
After being shut off for more than 2 hours my computer will not boot up on the 1st try. It goes to a message that says"Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key". I shut it down using the power button, wait for the hard drives to stop spinning, and then hit the power again and it starts up just fine. It will restart just fine also as many time as I want to restart it, after it has been running in windows. Once it is running, it runs terrific, no problems at all.
If you go right into the bios after sitting for a while you see this in the boot sequence, notice there is no hard drives(Nvidia Stripe)in the boot sequence.
After shutting it down and starting right back up this is what you see in the boot sequence. This pic is from a different time, thats why the boot sequence is different.
Here is a short youtube video (2:10 sec) made to help show the problem. (I called it a Cold boot Storage problem for another thread) just ignore that.
Things I have done to try to solve the problem:
1. Update the bios
2.I have moved the boot sequence around, Foppy1st, or CD 1st, ect. and even disabled the [USB:HP Photosm] in the boot sequence, Hard Drives are 1st now.
3.Replaced the Mobo Battery thinking that it was not remembering the boot sequence
4.Checked that the Hard Drives are connected to the correct plugs (6-7) on the motherboard, and that the raid connector JP1 was shorted out for Raid 0 and the blue indicator light was flashing.
* Just a note in this area. I did set up the Raid 0 with a tech from MSI because I was having an issue with the initial set up, and I did use the Nvidia raid drivers that came with the motherboard. Pchas01 in another thread thought that this could be part of the issue because it is not necessary to load the drivers when you set up the Motherboard in the Raid mode.
F10 and look in the Raid Array
5. Pulled the jumper off of JP1 and it just went to the "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key" screen much faster, but would never boot up after 5 tries. Put the jumper back in and started up on the 2nd try like the normal problem.
6.Went into the On-Chip ATA devices in the bios and Changed the Raid Mode to an IDE, I cannot F10 and get into the Raid Array now, but I guess that is normal.
Now this is what my boot sequence currently looks like.
That is the point that I am right now. It runs great, games are awesome on it. Its just does not want to start up on the 1st attempt.
Thanks for any help on this
Chris aka Fritzpeed novice builder

Thanks for the reply,
I started with the easy fixes first, changed the sata cables, and tried different power supply connectors. Both tests had same results, still boots up on 2nd try. I did not know how soon the problem would re-occur after it has been shut down, my shortest time so far is 25 minutes.

Why only one RAID channel is enabled? Array can't be detected in that way...
Well right now, it is not even set up that way, in my #6 problem solving, it was suggested that I turn the Raid Mode off and try [IDE] to see if that made a difference,"because I don't need Raid enabled for the hardware raid". It did not, it only booted to the "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key" window about 60 seconds faster. It is currently set up in this way.
This is how it looks in my On-Chip ATA Devices
How do I check this?

Does the problem persist when you use Silicon RAID instead Nvidia RAID?
I am still working on getting the seagate diagnostics to work, I am getting an error message before I can even test them.
I do have another question. Why is my HP Printer showing up in the Hard drive test, and also why is it showing up in my boot sequence, is this normal?
And speaking of boot sequences I got in there again just now and saw 2 [USB:HP Photosm]
Thanks again, still working on testing hard drives.

B/W G3 will not boot past the startup screen

It boots all the way through to the last step - "Login Window Startup". It will not boot in Safe Mode, PRAM reset, etc. No Joy. It has sat and spun the colored wheel of death for hours.
Any suggestions?

Boot from the Install CD by holding down the C key at startup. Do not install or even choose a language. Choose Disk Utility from the Installer Menu. Select your Hard drive and click "Repair". If anything is fixed, rerun again until it has no errors. Then run "Repair Permissions" once. Its many messages can generally be ignored.
If it will not chime a second or third or fourth time in response to the
Command Option p r
keys held down at startup, anecdote says that the PRAM battery is likely to be dead.

Mac Mini will not boot after Security Update 2008-007

Hello,
A G4 Mac Mini machine I was asked to take a look at will not boot after the owner (succesfully) installed Security Update 2008-007 from Software Update. Booting always hangs at the blue screen after the Apple logo, and booting in verbose mode reveals that WindowServer is crashing repeatedly. Permissions and filesystems have been repaired, PRAM reset, etc. Safe boot also exhibits the same problem, but it is possible to boot to single user mode. Hardware checks out fine with diagnostic utilities.
Any suggestions on how to fix this? Unfortunately, backups are not available (it's not my machine =).

Hi Arkku , and a warm welcome to the forums!
I'd certainly give Sig's advice a try first.

U310 Windows 7 will not boot or recover

I have a problem with my Ideapad U310 as it will not boot into Windows, nor does the recovery feature work. A number of days ago upon powering on my laptop got stuck on the Windows 7 loading screen. I tried a few more times, including the 'Startup Repair', but there was no change. I still have warranty so I contacted Lenovo support and they called me back. An extra complication is that I live in Japan and bought the laptop here, but my Japanese isn't good enough to discuss computer problems over the phone and Lenovo does not have English speaking staff in Japan. A Japanese friend took the call for me and they suggested going back to factory settings. However, I did not have a recent backup so I wanted to secure my files first. I opened the laptop and made a backup of the most important files from the HDD (voiding the warranty, which seemed quite useless anyway since they don't have a physical address for repairs and all other support is in Japanese). I was then ready to try going through OneKey Recovery. After pressing the button I get three options and I choose the bottom one for the Recovery feature. Then Windows starts loading files ... and gets stuck again on a loading screen.
I don't know how to proceed now. I don't have a recovery CD, nor a disc drive. So is there a way to get a clean install of Windows 7 by USB, given my boot-up issues? Or is there another solution?

Have you tried the one key recovery button located beside the power button (on the side of the laptop)? It is the number1 in this picture: http://goo.gl/Tzsnvx
It should take you to the recovery menu (the one from Lenovo, not Microsoft). This should work as the recovery will wipe your Windows partition and will reinstall everything as it was in the beginning.
Anyway, before opening the laptop, you should have downloaded linux (any distribution was OK) and started it from a USB drive. You could have, then, saved all the files you needed located in the Windows partition.

Windows 8.1 will not boot after setting up dual-boot with Linux Mint 17.1 Cinnamon

In which forum should I ask this question?
After installing Linux Mint onto a partition of my hard drive, Windows 8.1 is listed a choice to boot into after restarting my computer, but will not boot up. It suggests a boot repair and to obtain Windows 8.1 from my distributor. I have seen on other forums
that this has not worked, and I was wondering if anyone here had any suggestions for how to proceed.
Thanks in advance.

Will Not Boot from Install Disc & 4SNS/1/40000000: TG0D - Thermal Sensor?

*Will Not Boot from Install Disc*
I used the "option key" approach with the gray start up disk. At first it ejected the start up disk. Then I nudged the disk back in the machine and it showed on the screen as an option. I clicked on the start up disk image and it finally loaded.
But, it won't accept the start up disk when holding down the "C" key at restart.
*4SNS/1/40000000: TG0D*
I did an Apple Hardware Test and received the following diagnostic:
Version: 3A121
Test Suite: Extended Test
Loop Count: 2
Result: Failed
Failure code: 4SNS/1/40000000: TG0D
*Thermal Sensor*
A search for the failure code 4SNS/1/40000000: TG0D brought up an Apple Discussion topic entry stating: That error code indicates a problem with a thermal sensor. It could be not working or possibly not connected. You will need to take it to Apple for repair.
Would a thermal sensor have anything to do with it not starting up when holding down the "C" key at restart? What are thermal sensor problem symptoms?
*User File Folder Opened Up*
The machine also starts up with my user file folder opened up rather than with a blank screen as it normally should
I completed a DiskWarrior rebuild on the disk and verify disk shows it is fine.
Any suggestions on what to do next with these issues?

The answer was in your post: "You will need to take it to Apple for repair."

IMac will not boot, hard drive file problem? Can't install OS in 2nd part.

The iMac will not boot. The Apple displays on the screen, the cursor spins for awhile, and then it loops into a reboot effort.
Last night, I was doing a lot of custom file sharing settings using the include enclosed folders option at the bottom of the Get Info window.
Question 1: Could that file sharing process have messed things up?
In an effort to get things going........ A few weeks back, I used Disk Utility to create a 2nd partition, with the intent of installing Ubuntu Linux there. I never attempted the install, as far as I can remember, while playing with the Ubuntu Live CD. So, I thought I would install 10.5.6 from the CD in the 2nd partition. But I get an error message that says "The installer could not create the folder "/Volumes/Ubuntu 9.10/BaseSystem.pkg.161nDNDdQ.""
Question 2: I also shared that partition, could that have caused the OS install failure?
Question 3: If I understand the book correctly, I can try to install the OS from the CD on the 1st partition, and not lose my data, correct? Unfortunately, I don't have any backup for the data, as I don't own any drives large enough yet to accommodate the data on the drive.
Question 4: Anyone have any other thoughts as to what ent wrong?

Hi, Grant.
Sometimes, it just pays to think on a problem. I awoke thinking, if it will boot the OS X install CD, it ought to boot my Ubuntu Live CD. And then, maybe I can change permissions on the first partition. As soon as I thought that, it occurred to me, if the problems are with the permissions, what if I used the OS X disk, and erased (formatted) the Ubuntu partition. That should set all the permissions on that partition back to default. Would OS X install then to the Ubuntu partition?
You better believe it did!! I'm typing this from the Mac after updating my 10.5.6 to 10.5.8 in the 2nd partition, and I'm booting from the 2nd partition.
I then did as you suggested, and from the Mac, I repaired the permissions to the first partition. But, the result was the same, there are a few permissions that do not match, and Disk Utility cannot, does not, or will not correct them.
I'm currently downloading the 10.5.8 combo update .dmg file. My thought is to burn that to a disk, and then install it over the version in partition 1. And trust that the current installation on partition 1 does not have any cross linked files that will destroy some data.
I do have some old ATA IDE drives I can hook externally to the Mac, and copy some of the information I have from the Mac to those drives before doing the 10.5.8 install.
Can you think of a better solution?
