My 8310 will not boot! Hourglass for 20 secs, then reboots in a continuous loop! HELP!!
Yup! It won't turn on and stay on.... it also will not accept a jl_cmder wipe, or factory reset... because it reboots too quickly. AT&T carrier...
Any thoughts? Is there a "Hard reset" that can be done physically??

JL_cmder is your only hope. It normally does work, and it may take 15-20 tries for TO work. Keep trying.

I interrupted a software update and my macbook pro will not boot. I have tried to reboot using the startup disc, I have tried to verify the disc, and repair the disc. It tells me I need to erase and reformat the hard drive then reinstall the operating system. I do not have a back up of all my applications, my garageband music and other things. I also do not have time capsule set up on this machine, but I do have a 2 TB time capsule.
Is there anyway to back up this corrupted drive so I can restore my applications later?There's an old saying. If you don't have a backup disc, then there must be nothing important to backup. That's just lesson #1. Lesson #2 is to never interrupt a software update. Not a good thing.
OK, I'm sure you know this. It just upsets me to read your story, knowing you have a lot of important stuff on your hard drive, and didn't use time machine.
You're pretty much in a bad place. My only hope for you is to boot to your Installation Disc, then using disk utility see if you can save the internal hard drive (by fixing what can be fixed). You might be able to see your user folder and some of your apps. I wouldn't even consider copying the library, because who knows what's been corrupted in there.
Good luck. -

Laptop will not boot, stops at Toshiba screen then an error message. Can't access BIOS
I receive the following error message:
For Atheros PCIE Ethernet Controller v2.2.7(11/02/10)
Check cable connection!
PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel PXE ROM.
No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key
Before it first shut down, there was some blue screen with a message I was unable to read in time. I turned it back on and got the above message. I have done some research and it sounds like some kind of hard drive problem. I've checked the hard drive connection and it's fine, the same message appears. I also saw that you can access BIOS(not sure what this is exactly, I've never used it) and then somehow recover, reset or change a boot setting that may have changed by itself. I can't access it though. I have tried F8, I have tried pressing escape as soon as the red Toshiba screen comes on, and also tried holding it and releasing when the tone sounds, then pressing F1 but all I get is a tone and no screen.
It's about to be finals week and I really need some help getting this fixed...preferrebly without having to by a new hard drive because all kinds of homework, papers and study info is on this computer. I haven't even had it for two years yet. I can attach a picture of the screen if needed but it's just a black screen with the above message.
Thanks for any help!
EDIT: Satellite L655-S5150 and Windows 7
Solved!
Go to Solution.It does sound like a hard drive related issue, be it a virus, or physical failure. If you have fast boot enabled, you will need to hold down F8 while you power up, as just tapping F8 at the BIOS splash screen will not work. If you are unable to recover that way, hopefully you created recovery media when you first got the laptop(it would have prompted you in the action center).
If that was not done, you could always swap in a new hdd to get the system up and running, and get a eSATA to USB cable to get all of your info off your old drive.

CD/DVD will not boot up for P855-S5200 Toshiba Satellite laptop - Rude Tech Support
Hello. Has anyone else tried changing the boot device order on this computer, only to find that their laptop boots right up to Win 7? I pressed F12 just like it states in the manual (and then pressed F2 to enter setup). I changed the boot order so that the CD/DVD boots first and even went as far as to have the HDD boot last. I saved changes and rebooted. To no avail, it still boots right up to Win 7. So I called Toshiba tech support for assistance. The tech support(less) rep was real quizzical wanting to know why I wanted to boot from my CD/DVD. There are different programs that I have on CD that boot directly before the OS (for example, I like change things up a bit and run Linux once in a while). For some reason this guy didn't like that I wanted to boot off my CD/DVD from my laptop. Frankly, he didn't buy the computer and it doesn't matter what or why I want to boot from a CD/DVD. It's a brand new computer that does not function properly. I called Toshiba Tech support to fix a flaw in the computer that was sold to me. Anyway, I was trying to explain but he kept cutting me off and was very rude. He told me that since I have followed procedure in the manual correctly, that I'd have to go to Toshiba's Advanced Technical Support for a fee. REALLY?! One of the simplest procedures that I have performed on every box I have ever owned, and this guy didn't have a clue to make it happen on a new machine. Instead offering any more explanation than Advanced Technical Support, that rep just hung up on me. Evidently his tech support training consisted of trying to squeeze more money out of the consumer after the purchase. Swing and a miss Toshiba. So, if anyone has had similar issue with not being able to boot directly off CD/DVD (especially if there's a work around) I'd really appreciate it. If not I'll probably go to Best Buy and they can keep this Toshiba. Thanks.
C.B., You assumed correctly as I did use F5/F6 to move the devices up/down until my CD/DVD was at the top. I tried going in and using HWSetup. As soon as I ran HWSetup - it just confirmed that my earlier selection was already present (CD/DVD in first position). I also tried pressing C as you suggested but that did not work either.
I appreciate your input. I have one more shot at Best Buy to see if the Geeks can solve this dilemma (which I doubt). I may just throw up a video on YouTube to show the BIOS failure of this system.
It's too bad, I used to love Toshiba until this incident. I have a Toshiba laptop from 2004 that is still kicking (and it does boot from CD/DVD). I have even spilled a 1 gallon jug of water all over it - and it came back to life after it dried. I don't know if all P855-S5200s are like this or if I just got a POS. That coupled with the fact that I had deal with that less than knowledgeable and extremely rude tech support rep. Because of the those factors, I will take my computing dollars elsewhere.
Hey Toshiba....are you paying attention?? -
M87 Mpower won't boot (on for .5 sec, then off)
I recently recieved my M87 Mpower in the mail and I have been unable to boot. The cpu fan and lights start up for about half a second to a full second, before shutting off.
Parts:
i3-4330
XFX650W 80+ PSU
Gskill Ripjaws 1866mHz 4GB DDR3 - 1 stick
MSI M87 Mpower Mobo.
I have all 3 power cords plugged in, and I am sure that they are correct. The power supply is good, as I have tested it in another computer and it works fine. I have tried running the memory in all 4 slots, and none work. I have tried resetting the CMOS. I have tried it on a non-conductive surface (inside of the box it came in). I am not sure what else to try. I was wondering if anyone else had had this issue and what it meant. Also, I would like to add that there is no dialog display on the Debug LCD, nor is there any system beeps coming from the Speaker.
Thanks
Jordanh2k
(I would like to add that i know the M87 is overkill for my current components, it was on really awesome sale, and I have had very good experience with MSI products)do not mix RAM it will cause problems!
you do not need to use multiple sticks, just use 1 stick for testing (1333MHz stick alone) and see if it will post with just one!
also have you connected the 8 pin power connector?
have you inspected the CPU socket for bent pins?
also try it outside a case on a non conductive surface! -
Ibook will not Boot - goes to DOS, error message inside
Hi folks,
The old ibook (late 2004 model) is slowing down more and more, and yesterday refused to boot after crashing.
I left it booting on its blue screen for a while and it eventually went to a black dos screen with the following message:
SystemStarter[47]: The following StartUpItems failed to properly start:
/System/Library/StartUpItems/PrintingServices
- execution of Startup script failed
Now i'm assuming the problem is with the start up script, so I've looked around and done a few things suggested.
For example:
1. Reset the PMU ~ Shift - Control - Option - Power, waited for 5 secs, then rebooted, same problem.
2. Ran single user commands as detailed here http://missionitgroup.com/blog/?p=1490
Tried this twice to make sure, same thing happened. When checking the disk for errors (/sbin/fsck -fy) it would not find any volumes.
Also it would not run repairPermissions, it just kept giving me the options under diskutil, but not running the repair (Im assuming this may be due to it not being able to find any volumes)
3. Someone has suggested running the Mac from its original startup OS X DVD.
The problem is that there is a DVD (movie) already in the drive and pressing eject does not eject it.
4. I put the ibook into Firewire mode with it attached to my iMac. The iMac could see the DVD that was in the ibook drive but could not see the ibooks harddrive.
sooooo!!!!! a bit lost as where to go from here, any help would be greatly appreciated!?Drewdrops,
That is a link for a SATA (Serial ATA) drive) which will not work. You need a PATA or Parallel ATA drive, also called ATA, Ultra ATA or IDE drive. The drive in the link you sent is also a 3.5" drive. You will need a 2.5" notebook drive for your iBook.
After you get the new HD installed, you will have to boot from your Leopard install DVD, go to Disk Utilities again, select the drive in the list of volumes and click on the 'partition' button. select 1 partition (unless you would like more than one volume), make sure that "Mac OS Extended (Journelled)" is the format selected and then click 'partition'. You can then quit Disk Utility, and continue the installation. If you click on the 'options' button in the first install pane, you will see the button, pre-selected, that says 'installs OS X for the first time'. That is the correct choice.
After the install is complete, you'll get the welcome window, set up your account, and get going on your iBook. Immediately go to software update in System Preferences and begin installing the myriad of updates. After each install and restart, return to software update again and again untill it finally says that "you are up to date". This entire process can take hours, but stick with it. One more thing that is very important.... After you are finished with updates, open Disc Utility in the Utilities folder that is within your Applications folder and drag that icon down to the dock. Open it, select your HD volume to the left (the upper one with numbers, not the sub-volume) and then click "Repair Disk Permissions". Apple recommends doing this after each time you install updates and generally at least once a month after that. The instructor in an OS X class that I once took, said that you should repair disk permissions every week.
To me, all of you symptoms would point to a failed hard drive and a replacement would most likely take care of the problem. Are there ever any guarantees, though?
Is there an Apple Store close to your location? You could make an appointment at their "Genius Bar" for a free check-up. They will look at your iBook, tell you what is wrong and how much it will cost to repair it at their facility. You are not required to have it repaired there. It's just s service they offer. Look at the bottom of the Apple Store or Support page. I believe there is information about making an appointment.
Let me know how it goes.

T40 (237414U) will not boot up.
My T40 (237414u) will not boot up for some reason. I've got about 1/2 of the battery power left, but no other lights come on. Also, the screen is (blank)black. Hot keys do not seem to bring it out of it's coma. The only thing i hear is the fan running. Has my beloved T40 finally gone to Thinkpad heaven? Can anyone please enlighten me as to what the problem may be?
All help is appreciated!

Powermac G5 light go's on will not boot up,fan turns on
My powermac G5 DUAL 2.3GHZ PROCESSOR will not boot up light turns on then fan turns on. I replaced the battery cr2032 and it still does not work. Please help solve my problem. Thank you again in advance. The apple support communities is the best.
Carlos from NJ EMAIL--- [email protected]Do you get a boot tone (chime) when you power up?
If it does, try a safe boot by powering with the shift key held down.
If it doesn't, you have a fundamental problem to deal with. Are any LEDs on the logic board illuminated after you power up?
If so, this might help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2652 -
Install Disk for Snow Leopard will not boot on an iMac 27in
My Install Disk for Snow Leopard will not boot on my iMac 27in. The Apple Logo is the only thing the user will see. The current OS on the system is 10.6.6. Upon placing the Snow Leopard DVD in the system, the DVD players spins for a few seconds and displays the Apple Logo. Nothing happens after 20 minutes.
Yes, it is ridiculous how it is impossible to install Snow Leopard. I have two Snow Leopard DVDs: one that I purchased for a Macbook soon after it's release (10.6.0), and one that came with my iMac (10.6.4). Both of these boot up my Macbook (running 10.6.7) just fine. My SL 10.6.0 DVD mounts onto my iMac (Lion 10.7.0), but you cannot run the install. I attempted to boot from this DVD and got the infinite white screen and Apple logo, as some have reported above. The other SL 10.6.4 DVD will not even mount in Lion, and will not even show up as a bootable drive when I attempt to select it after holding alt/option on reboot.
I created a bootable external drive from SL 10.6.0, attempted boot, same infinite white screen/apple logo.
I created a bootable external drive from SL 10.6.4 on my macbook. I attempted to boot from this drive, and got the white screen of death, except that this time I actually got the loading symbol underneath the Apple logo. After about a minute of attempting to boot, the Apple logo changed to a circle with a diagonal line through it (the "NO!" sign).
I took my iMac to the genius bar. They inserted SL 10.6.0, which would not boot. Then they determined that my computer had to run 10.6.4 and later. So, they restored an image of SL 10.6.4 onto my partition (not an install from an image, but an image of SL already installed). Hurray! Snow Leopard was successfully shoved onto my iMac!
I then deleted a third partition on my hard drive I did not need anymore, which somehow screwed up my SL partition (even though it said "Will not erase partition SL or Macintosh HD). Now I am back at square one, and I guess I need to take my flippin iMac back to Apple for them to do what I should be able to do.
I like Apple, but sheesh do I hate Lion right now. -
My macbook will not boot. It goes to a blue screen after the logo and wheel goes off. I have taken the battery out and held the on/off button for five seconds and reset the PRAM. I have the the original os disk but have not put it in for fear of losing un backed op data.
Thanks
RichYou won't lose any data unless you erase your hard drive.
Put your install DVD into the optical drive and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c"key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it.When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've selected the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions. -

hello I have a notebook Pavilion g7-131us that will not boot up . currently in the process of running self testing , all tests passed so far
Hi motormike, thanks for the information. I have done some research and rather than give you a link to Microsoft I have just added the documentation on this here for you. This is all the instructions to hopefully resolve the issue right from Microsoft.
"To Fix this, follow the steps in method 1, it that doesn’t fix the issue, follow the steps in method 2.
Method 1: Use the Last Known Good Configuration to start Windows
When starting the PC using the Last Known Good Configuration, your computer starts with the conficuration from the last time your PC booted successfully. To do this, follow these steps:
Click the Start button, then click the arrow next to Shut Down, then click Restart.
As your computer starts, press and hold the F8 button. If the Windows logo appears, you'll need to try again by shutting down and restarting your computer.
On the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to highlight Last Known Good Configuration (advanced), and then press Enter. Windows will start normally.
If you still can't boot into Windows sucessfully, proceed to Method 2.
Method 2: Use the Startup Repair feature
Startup Repair can detect and fix certain types of system problems that might prevent Windows from starting.
To run Startup Repair using preinstalled recovery options:
Restart your computer using the PC's power button. Do one of the following:
If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you need to try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then shutting down and restarting your computer.
If your computer has more than one operating system, use the arrow keys to highlight the operating system you want to repair, and then press and hold F8.
On the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to highlight Repair your computer, and then press Enter.
Select a keyboard layout, and then click Next.
On the System Recovery Options menu, click Startup Repair, and then follow the on screen instructions.
To run Startup Repair using the Windows installation disc or a system repair disc:
Insert the Windows 7 or Windows Vista installation disc or a system repair disc, and then shut down your computer.
Restart your computer using the computer's power button.
If prompted, press any key and then follow the instructions that appear.
On the Install Windows page, or on the System Recovery Options page, choose your language and other preferences, and then click Next.
If you're using the Windows installation disc, click Repair your computer.
Select the Windows installation you want to repair, and then click Next.
On the System Recovery Options menu, click Startup Repair, and then follow the on screen instructions."
Please let me know if this does NOT resolve the issue and I will be happy to provide more assistance.
