MSI Wind U100 won't boot or POST!

My CPU fan was getting noisy so i decided to take the back off and blow out the dust. Before i put it back together i decided to plug in the battery and turn it on with the back cover off to make sure i fixed the noisy fan. That's when it happened. The blue star lights up and that's it. Blank screen, no POST, nothing! Hmm, i thought maybe there was a case sensor or something so i pulled the battery, put the cover back on and still nothing. Oh yeah, the CPU Fan spins for 2 seconds, much quieter now. 
I have also tried... removing the battery and power cord and let sit 10 minutes, power by cord with battery removed, removing little BIOS motherboard battery, removing HDD, re-seating all connectors from LCD screen, and the usual cursing.
Somebody please tell me how to fix this thing.

I have the exact same issue...only one blue light and power cycles when you try to stop it.  System will not post.
New board, CPU, and RAM.  video card from a working system.
Already tried reseating CPU and fan...already tried moving ram to second (black) slot.
Is this board DOA???

  • Recommended Kernel For The MSI Wind U100

    Hi folks,
    I am currently running the -ck kernel, the same as I have on my laptop, but I am currently thinking that a more specialised kernel may give me better performance on my MSI Wind U100 netbook. I reckon that the Aspire One kernel may fit the bill because of the similar hardware, but I wanted to hear about anyone's experience with this kernel (or any other) on the Wind. Recommendations welcome!
    Cheers,
    scott

    To the nutshell: Seems we understand, great
    Regarding the defaults:
    Well most of the kernel options have a little help text associated that *may* give an idea what it's about... But I guess you rather look for a good place to start.
    You could either use the config of your running kernel: look inside /proc/config.gz. Or you could start with the one that comes with the AUR. If you already run the -ck kernel now, you unknowingly used the config it provides and the above will be the same of course.
    I still recommend kernel26-ice with enabled -bfs patch but I guess -ck will in the end use the same scheduler...? Whatever
    So in -ck look for this section:
    # get kernel version
    make prepare
    # load configuration
    # Configure the kernel. Replace the line below with one of your choice.
    #make menuconfig # CLI menu for configuration
    #make xconfig # X-based configuration
    #make oldconfig # using old config from previous kernel version
    # ... or manually edit .config
    # stop here
    # this is useful to configure the kernel
    #msg "Stopping build"
    #return 1
    Activate "load configuration" (hopefully that uses /proc/config.gz automatically) and either "menuconfig" or "xconfig" so you later get a menu/gui to edit that file.
    The commented "stop here" part irritates me, though... I would think the msg and return 1 line should be uncommented as well but - not sure at the moment. Try it, you will see if it stops building while you see the config. It should do...
    In -ice-kernel you'd look for
    ### User/Environment defined variables
    bfs_scheduler=${bfs_scheduler:-0}
    enable_fastboot=${enable_fastboot:-0}
    keep_source_code=${keep_source_code:-0}
    menuconfig=${menuconfig:-0}
    realtime_patch=${realtime_patch:-0}
    use_config_gz=${use_config_gz:-0}
    enable_reiser4=${enable_reiser4:-0}
    and replace "0" with "1" for bfs_scheduler, menuconfig and use_config_gz and maybe also enable_fastboot.
    (optionally look for something like this:
    # configure kernel
    if [ "$menuconfig" = "1" ]; then
    make menuconfig ## <-- this one
    fi
    yes "" | make config
    and replace the "make menuconfig" with "make xconfig"or whatever. I prefer gconfig)
    Save the PKGBUILD and run makepkg
    After some downloading, extracting and patching you should finally SEE the menu/gui. Tada.
    To make sure you can now load the config file you saved above but it *should* allready be done...
    Now look at "General Setup->Local Version". The -ck kernel will most likely say -ck there, standard arch says -ARCH. It may be wise to give your kernel a uniqe name so you don't overwrite your working one... (Remember to add an entry for it in /boot/grub/menu.lst to be able to start it later.) You will need to take care of updates manually then, though. 
    And at last:  "Processor-type and features" seems to be the most interesting region for you
    (For the other options - well there are LOTS of them. Some will also influence performance.... So I guess best advice is take your time and only fiddle with options you understand.)
    If you are done save the setting and exit the program. Now "the real work" should start. If you do it on the netbook - you will probably need SOME patience for that too!
    When it's done install the kernel with pacman -U </patch/to/directory/where/I/just/build/the/kernel.tar.gz
    If you changed menu.lst you can select YOUR kernel on next boot and try if it does what it should.
    Good look
    Oh and you may need to (re)install some modules for graphic cards, wifi or whatever for this kernel too...
    [Edit: Me needs antiverbose-switch! just wanted to give a *short* answer:) ]

  • HP G7000 G7096EA Won't boot, no post/bios, blank grey screen

    My HP G7000 G7096EA Won't boot, no post/bios, blank grey screen - It does appear to get into windows after return is pressed, albeit with blank grey screen.
    I've reseated the RAM/harddisk, tried the power button reset method. Left it overnight with power battery/power.
    I'm at a loss now with what to try. It does look to be a dead graphics chip, which is a shame and will probably put me off HP for life!

    Ok, I've stripped it down to diagnose. Due to the piss poor cooling on the graphics chip, it's fried itself and melted the solder underneath.
    This was actually the second laptop I had off HP as the first broke within a very short time.
    Needless to say, I'll be buying from Dell in the future! What a crock of **bleep** HP are.
    Oh yeah! And HP wanted £16 + vat just to speak to some outsourced crappy call centre!

  • MSI X99S XPOWER won't boot after a Windows 8.1 Update

    Hi all, two days ago I was using my PC as normally and Windows needed to restart because of an update from Windows Update. It restarted and won't be able to boot again. I get a 04 debug code (Power on South Bridge Initialization) and I've tried clearing CMOS, without SSD/HDD... and there is no way.
    I'm reading something about an Intel drivers update that can modify the firmware, do you know anything about it?
    Board: MSI X99S XPOWER
    Bios: Version 1.4
    VGA:   MATRIX GTX 780Ti
    PSU:   Enermax Platimax 850W
    Intel Core i7 5820K
    MEM: G.Skill 32GB in 4 sticks (8 GB each) @2400 MHz XMP
    HDD: OCZ Vertex 450 256GB
    COOLER: Akasa Venom Vodoo
    OC: 4 GHz 1.15v
    OS: Windows 8.1 x64
    Thanks

    Windows is not corrupted, I've tried that SSD on another computer without problems and in my computer without HDD/SSD and won't boot anyway.
    If I'm able to boot with the secondary BIOS, I'll recover the first one by the following steps:
    Quote
    BIOS recovery with AFUDOS command
    When BIOS updating fails or causes the computer non-bootable, you can recover the
    failed BIOS by the steps below.
    Preparation:
    1. Prepare a bootable USB flash drive.
    2. Download the latest BIOS file from the MSI official website at www.msi.com, and
    then decompress the file.
    3. Copy the AFUDE238.exe and the BIOS file to the bootable USB flash drive
    BIOS recovery steps:
    1. Power off the computer.
    2. Set the Multi-BIOS switch to the functional BIOS ROM.
    3. Insert the bootable USB flash drive you have made to the USB port.
    4. Boot the computer into the bootable USB flash drive.
    5. Set the Multi-BIOS switch to the failed BIOS ROM.
    6. Execute the below command to flash the BIOS:
    For example: AFUDE238 EXXXXIMS.XXX
    7. Restart the computer after the BIOS flashing is complete.
    Important
    Do not use the Multi-BIOS switch when system is booting up.
    But I have a doubt with the "Important" note because I need to change from safe BIOS to failed BIOS with the PC booted, right? So I'll use the Multi-BIOS switch with the system up...
    Thanks a lot

  • MSI P7N2 Diamond won't boot

    hi,
    My P7N2 Diamond won't boot. when i first tested it at my friend's house, the problem already occurred. but i was not sure if it was complete bricked because the processor we used was listed supported only under the new bios.
    so i brought it home and tried it with an older  processor, the E6300 . still no luck.
    one thing i noticed, every time i power up the board, the hdd_led, power_led, and standy_led are turned on all together. BUT, i have no HDD attached....
    what could possibly wrong with my motherboard? btw, the memory i used is a Kingston DDR3 kvr133303n9/2g
    any advice/help will do. thanks

    Quote
    Yes it's barebone setup. just proc , mem, vid card, psu, ps2 keyboard.
    out of the pc case too?

    Yes it worked before but i am unsure what setup was before. a friend gave this to me. just upgraded to i5 so he gave it to me.
    worked before with what parts? what is changed?

  • Pavillion dv9580us turns on, but won't boot or POST

    I have an HP dv9580us that I bought about 2 years ago. It had been working well until a few days ago. Now when I turn it on the lights come on, the fan turns, but nothing happens. A few seconds later everything turn off, then the lights come back on again, and it just stays like that. No beeps, no blinking lights (they turn on but don't blink), no sounds, the screen completely blank all the time.
    So, I think the BIOS is not even making it to POST at all. I already tried re-seating the RAM, took the battery off, took the CD drive off, re-seated the HD, and reset the bios.
    Any ideas on what may be the problem? I suspect the motherboard, but on most cases I read about the system does boot or POST.

    According to the result of your tests, you arer pretty sure that there is a CPU or Motherboard failure.
    Not easy to say which one fails. Maybe both!
    If your computer is under warranty, don't hesitate!
    You can extract the HDD and make a backup of it before you send the computer.
    I would recommend using a USB adapter that can connect your internal hdd (now external!) to the USB of to another computer.
    Modern USB adapters for HDD can do SATA and (P)ATA. They are even shipped with an external power supply so that you can power on your hdd. 
    If your computer is not covered by any warranty, well, that's harder. You could try to extract the CPU and replace it to see if anything goes better.
    Or you could just purchase a new computer and transfer your current data to your newer computer.
    There are even some tools that allow you to transfer the data AND the system+applications directly to your new computer so that when you power it on for the first time with the transferred configuration, it can boot enough of Windows to detect the new hardware.
    I used to use Qualystem ubiboot to do so but now that Qualystem has been acquired it seems that this tool is not available anymore (or with a larger/more expensive package). There was a company from New Zealand that had a similar tool...
    Good luck

  • My dv2000 won't boot or POST.

    My HP Pavilion dv2000 won’t boot… on powering up button all LED indicators remain solid on (blue), including the QuickPlay, the wireless indicator is orange of course. Cannot access the BIOS. Also the hear the cranking noise by the CD drive… and that is it. Nothing else happen. The screens remain dark. I tried a hard reset: nothing. I tested the memory modules, had drive and cd drive with another laptop and they all seem to work fine. Lastly I took them way and powered on; I still got the same result. I have no idea what is going on. Any help?
    HP Pavilion dv2000 - Window Vista – no longer under warranty

    Hi !
    Seems that there is possible failure in the motherboard already because you can't even boot into BIOS.
    Try a Hard Reset first. Remove the battery and unplug the charger. Then press and hold the Power Button for about 15 secs. Put the battery and charger in, then try to power on.
    You can also try to reset the BIOS by removing the RTC battery, wait for about 10-15 secs then put it back again then power on the notebook.
    If none of these would work, I'm sorry to tell but the notebook needs to be serviced.

  • MOVED: MSI 990fxa-gd65 new build won't boot or post

    This topic has been moved to MSI AMD boards.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=254558.0

    Hi,
    Post S/N of the motherboard and we are able to tell you (roughly) which BIOS version it has.
    What if you try without graphics card?
    Did you try to clear CMOS? --> >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
    If it needs updating, you will either need:
    -Supported CPU by current BIOS
    -SPI programmer (some IT services has one)

  • MSI 990fxa-gd65 new build won't boot or post

    Hi, any help with this issue would be most appreciated
    I have just built a new system spec below:
    MSI 990fxa-gd65
    AMD FX8350
    2 x 4GB Hyper X fury DDR3 1866Mhz RAM
    MSI GTX960 Graphics card
    1TB WD HDD
    Corsair HX1000w (recovered from an older machine and in full working order)
    Unit powers ok, all fans are running, HD, Graphics card fans run and lights up DVD drive spins up OK too.
    Motherboard has two cpu phase lights lit. There is no post beeps or video out.
    I've tried it with a single stick of memory and a different lower spec video card but nothing seems to work. Some posts are suggesting the CPU may not be supported with the MoBo's current version of bios so questions are:
    How can I find out the bios version and if it is compatible as it doesn't reach the bios screen?
    If it needs updating how do you update it?

  • MSI GTX560TI SLI won't boot into Windows.

    So I got my second MSI GTX560TI Twin Frozr II today, and I was really looking forward to some SLI action, but when I set up both cards, I can't get past the first screen that tells me to press F8 to go to BIOS. I can't access Windows Security Mode or anything, only BIOS. After that it reboots and does the same for an endless loop.
    I can confirm that both cards are working as I have tried them both. It's not a defect powercable either, as I have tried all of them on one GPU and they seem to work fine.
    I have also tried the bottom PCIE slot, and it works as well.
    Any ideas on what might be wrong?
    The rest of my specs: (Copypasta from another forum)
    [OS: Win7 x64 Ult] [CPU: Intel I52500k] [MOBO: Asus Maximus IV GENE-Z] [RAM: Corsair Dominator 4GB]
    [GPU: MSI GTX560Ti TwinFrozr II] [SSD: Crucial C300 60GB] [CASE: Fractal Design ARC Mini]
    Also, to confirm that the two GPUs are infact the same, I took these screens from nVidia control panel:
    I can see that the Video BIOS is not the same. Could this cause any problems?
    Also, when using ROG connect to read the post codes, the last thing it says before rebooting is something about loading VGA BIOS. What to do guys?

    Quote from: Svet on 26-September-12, 08:17:59
    tell S/N of both cards and save both vbioses from each one of them, upload them somewhere and give a link to it.
    Where can I find the S/N on the card? One of them has a sticker on the PCB with the S/N on it, but I must have removed it from the other one. I'll save the vbios once I get home and upload them here.

    What psu do you have as well? Please include 12v rail ratings or a link to it.
    >>Posting Guide<<
    I have a Silver Power SP-SS750W. I don't really know what 12v rali ratings are, but I guess you can find it in this review:
    EDIT: Since I can't post external links for some reason, just Google "Silver Power SP-SS750M 750w Review" and the reviews should be right there.
    Could it be the PSU that won't power both cards? Should I try to power the second card with an external PSU?
    Thanks for all the help guys, I really appreciate it! 

  • My system won't boot past POST after I plugged in my new SATA drive. (SATA noob

     
    I have a MSI K8n Neo 2 Platinum mobo with a Athlon64 +3500 and 1gig dual channel DDR 400. I currently have 2 drives set up a IDE primary (MAxtor 6Y120) and a IDE slave (Maxtor 6L080).
    I recently purchased a Maxtor DiamondMax 10 6L300S0 300GB Serial ATA 7200RPM Hard Drive w/16MB Buffer.
    It is my first SATA drive ever so non the less I am a newb. I want to use it as a non Raid media storage device while my primary IDE remains my boot OS drive.
    I plugged the SATA in to the sata one port and powered it. I enabled the SATA in the bios with RAID disabled. When the system boots up it does the memory chech and lists all the IDE devices. Then it says "Detecting IDE drives..." and just hangs there. The new drive spins so it definatly has power but occasionaly it make occasional clicking sounds.
    Once it actually booted up and windows detected it. I decided to reboot it just to play it safe but it never would get past post screen again. I can boot up the system normally when I unplug the SATA cable.
    Please help I need to know if I am doing something wrong or I should RMA the drive. THANK YOU!
