Need help troubleshooting: booting problems

I'm a bit stuck troubleshooting and could do with some advice.
A quick backstory: my mid-2010 13" MBP started to refuse to boot and displayed the flashing question mark, so the Geniuses replaced the hard drive connector cable - which sorted the problem for a few months.
So the flashing ? reappeared and I've tried a few fixes but need advice on where to go now, I think it might be a RAM problem.
What I've tried so far:
I've tried erasing and then verify and repair the HD through disk utility, using the OSX DVD, which came up OK.
Reset NVRAM
Clean Install: the HD would show up, but would fail after 30 mins; "Install failed... could not copy the necessary support files."
Ran Apple Hardware Test: showed error 4mem/4/40000000 0xabd93398
Took out each RAM card separately, cleaned with compressed air, tried out each one separately in either slot - still get a flashing ? on startup.
Any thoughts on what I could do would be really appreciated. Thanks for any advice!

If the OS installer failed removing RAM will not fix the damage.
The question mark means a bootable OS couldn't be found. You will need to reinstall the OS & see if the Mac stays stable. You may need to do this with one RAM module to see if the other is causing the crash. The AHT message is a RAM error, re-run the test & change modules to see if it is a particular module or slot that causes it.
You can try booting from external disk to try to rule out the internal HD, but that isn't a practical solution for a laptop, it's more to help diagnose where the fault could be.
You could take it to an Apple store to see if they can help, but I doubt there will be any chance of repairs unless you pay. The first visit will be free, but there is a limited amount of testing that can be done.

  • Need Help Troubleshooting Mysterious Problem

    The Basic Symptom:
    After running an indeterminate (usually under 5) EJB operations driven from my web app all subsequent requests result in a browser stall wherein the progress bar inches ever so slowly toward infinity but never returns the requested page. The situation does not install until I close the browser and re-run the application.
    My Configuration:
    Oracle 8.1.5 on Windows NT
    JDeveloper 3.0
    Oracle Web-To-Go internal http/jsp/servlet engine as supplied with JDev 3.0
    My Architecture:
    Basically, I've got a number of .jsp pages which create session-level beans on startup. Each bean, in turn, grabs and holds a connection to a companion stateless EJB to service the session's requests.
    The EJBs act as factories for standard java class files which are passed to the client (web/presentation) tier, are modified by the client via their browser session, and are returned to the EJB factory to be saved to the database (Oracle8i tables).
    Please for Help:
    Does anyone know if this is a known problem with any or all of the below:
    a) My architecture (Please God NO!)
    b) JServer and EJB handling (This would suck but maybe 8.1.6 would cure it)
    c) A limitation of Web-to-Go's functionality
    d) Something I'm not thinking of as a possibility???
    ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED! (I HAVE TO DEMO THIS APP AS A PROTOTYPE ON THURSDAY AND DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO INCONSPICUOSLY STOP/START IT AGAIN AND AGAIN TO AVOID HANGS...)
    Thanks in advance!
    Will
    null

    Some additional information...
    I can trace activity from the .jsp code to the webBean code. When the webBean code attempts to call a method on an EJB it never receives a response.

  • Need help with boot problem: Intel ME unconfiguration in progress

    Hello,
    several months ago I had an accident at work and spilled A LOT of water all over my T400...  so much that the laptop just powered down on its own (i guess those keyboard spill guards were overwelmed LOL).  I let it dry for a couple of days, and everything worked as normal, except that when I unplug the AC power, next reboot I get a message during BIOS that says "Intel ME unconfiguration in progress."  Then I get a screen listing a bunch of table mismatches, etc. (there are a whole bunch and it's a quick flash, so I haven't tried to write them all down).  Then it reboots, and I get the "Security chip is generating endorsement key pair."  Then it reboots again and everything is fine. 
    As long as the AC power is connected, I can reboot many times without going through tthis process, but if I unplug it and run on battery power, I have to go through this again when I reboot.  It almost seems like I fried some kind of internal battery or something (?) that keeps track of the Intel ME?
    Some have suggested that I disable TPM in the BIOS.  I tried that, but couldn't actually find that option in the BIOS.  I was able to disable Intel AMT (not sure if that is the same as TPM), but that had no effect.  I also tried to disable the security chip, and that didn't work either.
    Does anyone have any idea of what might be going on here?
    Thanks!

    Hello mate, TPM is same as security chip.
    Intel ME is related to AMT.
    Does your system save date and hour and your BIOS settings ?

  • I need help in booting the microsoft operating system

              i need help in booting the microsoft operating system from startup.

    Which version of OS X are you running? All you need to do is to purchase a retail copy of whichever flavor of Windows you like (I prefer Windows 7 Professional to Win 8.1) and use Boot Camp to install same. Then you'll be able to boot into either Mac OS or Windows by holding down the option key.

  • Need help with daq problem

    Hi,
    I need to generate a clock with a period of 20 micro seconds, duty cycle of
    approx 20% and a data line as well as an address line all linked to the clock
    pulse.
    I have tried many different solutions, all using the Daq PCI-1200 but nothing
    seems to work correctly. Usually the system bombs and I have to do a manual
    reset to over come the problem.
    Any suggestions?
    Ken

    You'll need an external clock, expecially under Windows.
    Windows ticks with appr. 18 Hz, and the CPU tick isn't always available

  • Need help with getResource() problem under weblogic 6.1

    Hey all,
              I've got a serious problem that I can't figure out. This should be really
              simple - but it's alluding me. I have an ear file with a number of servlets
              inside it. This ear file also contains a resource that my servlets want to
              read from. This resource is located (within the ear file) at:
              "/content/structure/a.txt". The file contains raw ascii.
              To have my serlvet read from this file, I thought it would be as simple as:
              URL content =
              servlet.getServletContext().getResource("/content/structure/a.txt");
              // pw is an instance of PrintWriter
              pw.print(content.getContent());
              However, when I execute the above I get the following exception:
              java.lang.NullPointerException
              at
              java.net.URLConnection.stripOffParameters(URLConnection.java:1011)
              at java.net.URLConnection.getContentHandler(URLConnection.java:979)
              at java.net.URLConnection.getContent(URLConnection.java:581)
              OK, so fine - I figure that I'm new to this. The documentation for the URL
              class tells me there is another way around this. It says that rather then
              calling getContent() directly, I can open a stream on the URL and read from
              that, like so:
              URL content =
              servlet.getServletContext().getResource("/content/structure/scenario2resourc
              es.txt");
              FileInputStream fis = content.openStream();
              but when I do this I get the following different exception:
              java.lang.ClassCastException: weblogic.utils.zip.SafeZipFileInputStream^M
              at Utility.writeFileToOutput(Utility.java:134)^M
              Apparently this thing is trying to return a web-logic-specific stream (which
              is incompatible with an FileInputStream) - which I don't want to use or
              learn about since I want my stuff to work under other webservers.
              Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? This should be simple.

    Wenjin,
              I appreciate your response. I tried treating it as a normal InputStream -
              but it didn't make any difference. Here's what I did:
              URL content =
              servlet.getServletContext().getResource("/content/structure/scenario2resourc
              es.txt");
              InputStream is = (InputStream)content.getContent();
              And here's the exception:
              java.lang.NullPointerException^M
              at
              java.net.URLConnection.stripOffParameters(URLConnection.java:1011)^M
              at
              java.net.URLConnection.getContentHandler(URLConnection.java:979)^M
              at java.net.URLConnection.getContent(URLConnection.java:554)^M
              at java.net.URL.getContent(URL.java:807)^M
              at Utility.writeFileToOutput(Utility.java:134)^M
              You can see that it is definitely breaking somewhere in getContent().
              If you have any other ideas, I'd appreciate hearing about them.

  • Need help with Boot Camp and Win 7

    I have iMac 27" (iMac11,1) 2.8 GHz, quad core, 8MB of L3, 8GB of Memory, Boot ROM Version IM111.0034.B02 and SMC Version 1.54f36 and can't get this machine to run Windows 7 using Boot Camp.  I have successfully loaded Win 7 but when it claims to be starting I only get a black screen after initial start up.
    I have checked and rechecked my software updates and have read and reread the instructions, however, I can't update my Boot Camp to 3.1 (my machine says i'm running 3.0.4) and I need 3.1 but can't load 3.1 because it is an exe file that has to be loaded into Windows after I load Windows but can't open Windows because I can't load Boot Camp 3.1.  That's my excuse anyway, so I'm missing something I just can't figure out what it is....this is where you come in!
    Thanks.
    Mike

    Mike,
    I'm not going to be much help with Boot Camp however I can direct you to the Boot Camp forum where there are more people that know how to troubleshoot it and Windoze 7. You can find it at:

  • Need help with boot up password

    Hi I need help with my IBM G41 think pad I when to sleep one night and I put some papers on the keys then close the lid with the papers in between on top of the keys now I get need a password when I started my PC can some some help me with this . Or is there any one whom had this some problem . I see a lock on the screen .

    Sorry if this seems like a stupid question, but why don't you have the password already? did the computer just randomly lock you out of it? If that is the case, that would be really strange. If there is no bios password on the computer, you should be able to reset the password in the bios.

  • Help troubleshooting networking problem...

    I apologize for calling this a "networking problem," I just don't know how to title it...
    Basically, I'm looking for help tracking down an odd problem on my MacBook. It mostly manifests as incomplete web requests.
    I'll try to explain.
    I'll go to a website, which starts a browser downloading images and what not. Most times, I never get the entire web page. For instance, on this very page, the bottom of the browser (Firefox) says, "Waiting for images.apple.com" and the circle is spinning at the top. This unresolved request, whatever it is, is unlikely to complete.
    Here's what I've tried:
    1. Updating my wireless router. (Netgear G. I honestly don't notice this problem on other systems in my office, though.)
    2. Changing web browsers. (It affects others, too.)
    3. Creating Mozilla profiles.
    4. Surfing in different Mac accounts.
    5. Clearning browser caches/cookies/etc.
    6. Turned on/off interference robustness on the AE.
    I'm not looking for a solution (unless you have one). I am looking for some new ideas on troubleshooting the problem.
    What's most annoying is that the problem is GASP intermittent. I may do one of the above things, for instance, and it seems like the problem goes away, but it comes back eventually. And it also eventually leaves for a period of time if I do nothing.
    It feels like a networking issue, something outside the Mac -- wireless interference or something, but ... I just don't know.
    Thanks.

    I should have mentioned that I tried that.
    There are a couple of APs in the neighborhood, one is a Belkin Pre-N with Airgo's chipset. The only reason I mention the Belkin is that there have been some news reports that suggest Airgo's wireless management degrades regular B/G wireless devices in the area. I don't know how true that is.
    Anyway, it seems like I've solved it.
    I surfed wired for about two days and was able to determine that the problem was related to wireless communication. Now, whether it was my Airport Extreme or my Access Point...
    My Access Point was one that was given to me by a customer. She didn't need it any longer. It was used and I didn't really know how it performed. I can say that one of the things I did before all these problems started to take place was install that AP.
    I replaced the AP this weekend. I decided I would just try a new one.
    That seems to have fixed it. I do get the occasional hangup. (I do an awful lot of surfing.) Mostly I see the hangups now on pages that have an abnormally high amount of connections to external sources. An example of this is the dynamically generated Newsgator RSS feed page. This page goes out to all manner of websites to grab images and what not and I sometimes see hangups there, but that's about it.
    This is good news. I was worried my Airport Extreme was to blame. But, you know, even my wife's laptop (PC) is performing better wirelessly. There was a problem in that Access Point. I had updated the firmware just the week previous to see if that would fix the problems I experienced, but no...
    Anyway, I kind of needed to talk this out. I appreciate your help!

  • Need help bad, screen problem

    heres my problem. i setup arch on my desktop last night (64bit), i installed my nvidia drivers. i have a 21" crt sun monitor, not sure the model number. but i brought it to a friends this morning to update and install kdemod since they have highspeed. now i was hooked up to their monitor, they have a cheap 15" crt. so it worked fine there, now when i got it home, i get a black screen when it boots up on my monitor, i can get to a console however

    ok, i tried to run nvidia-xconfig, and when i rebooted, im back to square one with my monitor flashin an invalid scan frequency
    well, i deleted the xorg.conf again and got it booted up. but i generated a new one with nvidia-xconfig again, heres what i puts out, i just need to remember not to reboot any time soon. im using a 7900gs, the newest nvidia 100 series drive from the repo, and arch 64bit on this system by the way

  • I have a Windows7 machine that is crashing/restarting, need help troubleshooting

    I have a workstation that is stable until an application's service starts.  After a few moments, there is a very short BSOD, followed by a restart.  After looking around, I've found the location where I believe the dumps are supposed to be stored.
     However, there is nothing but an old dump file there.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Windows 7 is configured by default to restart after a major system failure like a Blue Screen of Death. Unfortunately, that doesn't give you any opportunity to document the error message so you can solve the problem.
    You may disable Automatic Restart on System Failure from the Advanced Boot Options menu in Windows 7 to get the .
    a. Before your PC automatically restarts, press the F8 key to enter Advanced Boot Options
    b. Using the arrow keys on your keyboard, highlight Disable automatic restart on system failure and press Enter.
    After disabling the automatic restart on system failure option, Windows 7 may or may not continue to load depending on what kind of Blue Screen of Death or other major system problem Windows 7 is experiencing.
    Since you disabled the automatic restart on system failure option in Step 2, Windows 7 will no longer force a restart when it encounters a Blue Screen of Death.Now that you have the STOP Code associated with the Blue Screen of Death, you can troubleshoot the
    problem.
    You may also refer to the article below to check the issue:
    "Resolving stop (blue screen) errors in Windows 7
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Resolving-stop-blue-screen-errors-in-Windows-7
    In addition, I would like to suggest you refer to the suggestion provided by Zigzag to find the dumpfiles and check the issue.

    Hope it helps.

  • Need help troubleshooting Index creation..

    Hi,
    I'm using RH8, Webhelp, working locally.
    I've tried several times to create an index, but each time it crashes.
    The first few times, I manually accepted the index keywords.....I'd spend about 25 minutes or so working on it, then RH would freeze on random files (different each time), causing me to reboot RH.  I've lost the entire index because it never completed.
    Now, I thought I would test it by just automatically adding the index keywords.......and after about 3-4 minutes of it working through the files, it froze. I can't even minimize the RH window, I have to reboot again.
    I've created an index for a previous project with no errors......but this is not the case with this project.
    Does anyone have any advice on what could be wrong?  Anything errors I can eliminate? files to test? review? anything?  I don't even know where to begin to troubleshoot this problem.......
    Thanks!

    HI,
    Just following up....
    1 - Yes, I have successfully created an index on a completely different project.
    2 - Windows xp, 32.
    I need to revisit this issue in a couple of months, I have other things to tend to.  I'll post back my "next attempts" on creating an index.
    but, if there's someone out there with an answer, by all means.........please share!
    Thanks!

  • Need help about boot SUNFIRE V120

    can i change it?
    please i really need help ....
    thanks

    If its booted, try "eeprom boot-device=disk"
    If your at the OBP, "setenv boot-device disk".
    If that doesnt work check the value of "diag-switch?".
    It could be booting off the the diag-device instead
