PXI 8184 system boots up - shows nothing on screen

Hi All,
I recently found our NI PXI-8184 in our company and I wanted to test if we can use the device for our testing purposes.
The first time, I got to its BIOS. I saw the system date was resetted to 1988. I did make some changes on boot options, saved and exited bios. I was able to loging WindowsXP and run LabView.
After turning off the unit, unplug power cable. I removed the PXI-8184 to check on its battery. I found its bios battery voltage is 0 (technically no charge). I got a new battery (3V) and plugged into the system.
Once the power is turned on, there is nothing showing on screen, only black screen. The power LED is ON, LED lights for ethernet cable are ON (one is solid, one is blinking), the Drive LED is off (the hard drive is not even accessed). I checked the hard drive with my external encloser, it seems everything is ok. I can read files from hard drive from my laptop through an external encloser.
I suspect there is something wrong with BIOS. I did reset BIOS by moving jumper to a new location and setting it back to its original place.
The screen shows nothing on bootup, I think the bios is not even loaded.
Any help/inputs to help me to solve this problem would be helpful. Thanks for your replies and inputs.
PS: The Switch Configuration at the moment is Switch1 is ON position (Boot LabView RT) and other switches are in OFF positions

Yes. That was the only change. With the old battery (zero charge voltage), same behavior with black screen.
I am not sure whether or not the last bios save did have affect on bios firmware (may some corrected parts of firmware ? )
Thanks for your reply.

    During boot Yosemite shows a grey screen with the Apple logo and a progress bar - is this normal?

    Same here after upgrade yesterday. 
    I can get OS utilities up using CMD R or holding the shift key (eventually), but if I simply then reinstall the OS will it not loose everything on my drive? I do have it backed up on Time Machine? What a nightmare - Apple Support does suck.  I am not paying £25 for them to call me to tell me how to fix a bug in their OS software upgrade.  Any help
    Also does anyone know if it is possible to use time machine to go back to Snow Leopard? I have wasted much of the day on this now

  • G5 boots but displays nothing on screen and sometimes white screens and boots from CD. Help?

    I have a G5 (1.8 Ghz/DP/8GB RAM) and it has a problem.
    When it does show something on screen it shows a white screen and will boot from a CD (OS X or Linux) but when it doesn't it show anything on screen and the fans rev up (This happens whether is shows nothing or white screens) Does anyone know how to fix this?
    PS: When it boots from the CD everything works fine.

    Backup your data if you have a successful boot.   You have no idea what may be damaged or not.

  • Booting Windows 7 in Boot Camp shows a black screen with a blinking cursor

    I am trying to restore a DMG image of a Windows 7 Boot Camp partition back to Boot Camp. (I know that I should have used Winclone, but I didn't have that option because the drive was already dying and so I couldn't even access OS X anymore.)
    So far, I've gotten to the point where I can start up the computer, hold Option, choose Windows, but then when it boots up, it shows a black screen with a blinking cursor.
    I've tried a few things so far to try and fix this, none of which has worked. I have used the Windows 7 install DVD to run `bootrec` and all its possible arguments. I've ran `chkdsk C: /b`. I've also used the "Automatically fix startup problems" button, of course, as well.
    Anyone know what else I could try to fix this?

    Already tried those steps. Did not work. I finally fixed the problem by using iPartition and running "Write MBR Boot Code" and then renaming the Windows 7 partition and hitting "Go". The latter step causes iPartition to fix any problems that might exist in the partition. After renaming it, I just renamed it back to what it was before. (It was "Windows 7", I renamed to "Windows 7-02", then renamed it back to "Windows 7" afterward.)

  • System Boots but afer windows splash screen hangs.

    OS: Windows Ultimate SP1
    After rebooting my PC, when the windows startup splash screen  disappears the screen stays black with just the cursor present.  No other activity accurs. Waited 10 min and tried again.
    The same results occur in booting in safe mode and commanf mode.

    Note - Using the windows Ultimate CD I loaded theSystem Recovery Options tool (Command Prompt).
    I thought it odd that when I switched to C: then did a dir, there were no files present. I found files and a windows directory  on D:
    My first thought on this is to replace the hard drive but thought that maybe this type of error occured in the past and a resolution was acheived without hard drive replacement.
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    The 24 character error code for the  Long ( comprehensive ) Disk Self Test would indicate that the Hard Drive is failing and needs to be replaced.  This is also consistent with the start-up issue.
    If your PC is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange to have the drive replaced - you can check your warranty status Here.
    If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
    If you are in another part of the world, start Here.
    If you are out of warranty and would like a guide on replacing the Hard Drive yourself, please let me know.

  • System Boot Hangs on Grey Apple screen / AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement

    Hi All
    I have had this issue on going on MacPro (early 2008) Quad 3.0 and Quad 2.8 machines since 10.5.6.
    Boot will hang on the grey screen with Apple Logo or in verbose mode more specifically on AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement: Initialization Complete.
    In an attempt to fix I have repaired permissions & disks, both with DU and DW which report no major problems, removed system cache files and eventually reinstalled OSX from scratch and updated to current 10.5.8 systems. I have also tried the singleuser boot and /sbin/fsck -fy command which reports no problems. Still it persists.
    The issue presents it's self randomly on multiple machines at various times. If I leave the computer long enough sometimes the boot will complete.. or not. Simply booting up in verbose mode will sometimes get the machine booting. This usually requires a hard power cycle from the hanging boot. re-seating the ram has also helped but so far no conclusive fix.
    The only thing that I can think to relate it to is that these machines all share the same system image created with Carbon Copy Cloner (Current Version), however this also occurs on the Master machine. So either I have cloned the issue from the source (twice) or it is inherent to the machines. I have used a different master machine on the 2nd reinstall of the OSX system to rule out the master machine as the introduction of the issue.
    These are all standard config Macpro machines with no modifications since getting them out of the box. I only mention this as I have researched this issue and mostly find that the machine in question had been altered in some way.
    Does anybody have any further ideas on how I could resolve this?
    I would appreciate your perspectives.
    cheers,
    k.

  • IPad 2 will not charge shows nothing in screen

    Havnt used my ipad for about 3 weeks and have come to charge, when I initially plugged it in to charge I just got the screen with the apple Logo and the sign showing connect to power.  When I did nothing happened and now there is nothing on my screen and none of the buttons work.  Anyone have any advise?

    Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good. If your computer/iTunes does not recognize the iPad, then the cable is probably bad.
    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • Apple TV shows nothing on screen- no signal

    I have connected Apple TV to TV with hdmi cal le but the screen is blank showing a no signal message. Anyone had this before?

    Welcome to the Apple community James.
    You may wish to try the following:
    Press and hold the menu and the up button simultaneously on the remote for six seconds, the Apple TV should then begin to cycle through the various resolutions available to it at 20 second intervals.. If you see a picture appear up on your screen, use the remote to scroll down to the OK option and select it.
    If you can test it on another TV too, that would be useful.

  • Boot up problems - nothing on screen!

    My 6 month old MBP with the latest firmware update suddenly stopped botting today. I placed it in sleep and then tried to wake it a few hours later. The battery was not flat. The light by the releae button comes on and I hear the DVD drive spin up but nothing comes up on the display.
    I have tried the support pages here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303234 but nothing seems to work.
    Any ideas as I really don't want to send it back as I have lots on my drive that I cannot now backup.

    My suggestion is to take it to a service technician and ask them to carefully remove the hard drive and put inside a 2.5" Firewire hard drive case such as the ones from http://www.macsales.com/
    That way, you'll have control over the hard disk.
    Maybe even get that case first.
    http://www.apple.com/uk/buy/ has a listing of authorized service providers who can do it.
    And when you are done, you can use the migration assistant to reimport the data back that was in that drive.
    Be careful not to drop that drive as the cases don't take a beating that well.
    In the future always backup your data as my FAQ explains:

  • New K8T Neo won't boot. D-Bracket LEDs show nothing.

    I just bought my first AMD based system, maybe I forgot to do something? I've read the manual but I don't feel that I've missed anything.
    Anyway I've connected the ATX 12V & the ATX 20-Pin Power Connectors. I also connected that D-Bracket thingy, a GeForce2MX and one 512MB Ram in DDRslot 1. I have no harddrives or anything else connected, I just want to see if my system works.
    When I try to boot the FANs go on but that's it.
    The leds on the D-Bracket shows nothing.
    I get nothing on my monitor.
    I can only turn the computer off by disconnecting the power cable.
    I've tried to unplug->plug it back together. No luck.   I've also tried it with no RAM at all = no difference.
    CPU: A64 3000+
    MB: MSI K8T NEO-FSR
    RAM: Corsair Value S. PC3200 DDR-DIMM 512MB - Unbuffered, Non-parity, 64Megx64, CL2.5
    PSU: AntecTruePower380W +5V@35A +12V@18A +3.3V@28A
    Is my PSU too weak or may something be broken?  
    Thanks.
    UPDATE: My MB was offically defective

    My manual says Release Date: September 2003.
    I have IDE info @ 2-21 in my manual. Power LED flashing info in "Front Panel Connectors: JFP1 & JFP2" section.
    What the grey power-led-flash-box says:
    "MSI Reminds You...
    If the Power LED on the front panel flashes every two seconds, this signal tells you that one of the power connection has been protected; if the Power LED flashes every one second, it tells you the CPU has been protected due to overheating. To refresh the system, please disconnect the power cable from the computer, and then reconnect the power cable to the computer again in at least five seconds."
    D-Bracked shows no lights at all. There's two ways to connect the D-Bracked and I tried them both. My fans works perfectly everytime I boot.   Too bad they are the only things that work though  

  • Windows "Blue screen of Death" when booting computer attached to LabVIEW PXI realtime system

    Good Morning (at least in the western hemisphere)!
         I'm having a problem on two test systems where intermittently, at least on one machine, I get a Windows "Blue Screen of Death" error message when booting the machine connected to a PXI RT system. I reloaded the RT systems software yesterday (LV RT 7.1.1, NI-VISA 3.3.1) and am having this problem on two different setups, two laptops, two PXI chassis. Our short term work around has been to boot with the network cable removed at one end or the other, but these are the baseline models for a larger test system in the design/construction stage that will not be used by knowledgeable engineers but by (probably more knowledgeable!) technicians.  Any ideas would be a help

    Blue screens are almost always caused by drivers and not by applications, so chances are there's a problem on the driver level.  The crash log file will be instrumental to diagnosing this problem.
    Turn on the crash event logging as described in this Microsoft KB:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314084/EN-US/
    ...and then post the details from the crash found in the Windows Event Viewer here. That will help us narrow the problem down.

    My mac mini is running slow.  Bought it in 2009.  Activity monitor shows nothing running that should not be.  Someone suggested it might be my operating system?  Check for software updates, and I am current.  Suggestions?

    Open Activity Monitor, Show:>All Processes, sort on CPU%, see if anything using too much CPU% when this happens, click on Memory tab, do you have many Pageouts?
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
    Check the S.M.A.R.T. status of the drive in Disk Utilty by highlighting the Drive & looking at the bottom of the window.

  • After PXE boot to machine nothing shows up. Blank SCCM page with no option to install OS images.

    I am working on using PXE with SCCM 2012 and finally got my test VM to boot with the standard x86 boot image. This is the process:
    1. Start up VM with no OS
    2. Contacts SCCM and I press F12 to Network Boot
    3. Boots into a SCCM screen and says " Windows is starting up" then " Preparing Network Connections".
    4. Then all i see is a blank screen. After about a minute it will just reboot.
    I found this post that discusses adding the drivers need for the boot images:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/fd96466b-0521-48d8-b31e-4477468982fe/sccm-pxe-boot-initiated-but-nothing-happens-after-that?forum=configmgrosd
    I added the entire VMware tools Driver folder to both my boot images. (All it had in there was a SCSI adapter)
    Tried to redo the PXE and still get the same menages with the blank screen after that. 
    What am I missing here? 

    Sounds like your boot image is missing network drivers...
    Couple of checks though:
    If the VM in case has already been introduced somehow to ConfigMgr, check Devices -node from the console and search for "Unknown", if there are objects named "Unknown" (not the default x86 or x64 objects!), delete them
    Add command line support (F8) to your boot image
    Boot your VM, as soon as you get in to WinPE, hit F8 to open command prompt
    Run ipconfig to see if the VM get's IP address
    If the VM doesn't get IP address, you probably don't have the correct network driver in your boot image. You can obtain the correct driver by installing OS (the same architecture as you boot image, and based on the same FullOS of your boot image, ConfigMgr
    2012 RTM=WinPE3.1=Windows 7, SP1=WinPE4.0=Windows 8, R2=WinPE5.0=Windows 8.1)  on to your VMware VM and then use this tool:
    http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/ConfigMgr-Driver-Injector-aae7d17d to capture the needed drivers. Then you can import those drivers to ConfigMgr, categorize them and add the LAN and SCSI drivers to your boot image.
