Qosmio Recovery does not work

Qosmio x770 ST4N04 -- booted this morning and started a constant white noise from the speakers and Windows 7 loaded but froze.
Tried to recover from USB -- tried to recover holding down the 0. Recovery software doesn't work -- hangs on multiple loads -- was told by tech support to just reboot if it hangs -- finally get through all of it to have Windows 7 now boot to 2 accounts - admin and other user. The admin account says it has been disabled, notify your admin. And the other user asks for a password -- which we don't have since we didn't create it. Have done this process now 3 or 4 times today -- once I did get it to boot and ask for me to setup an account -- but once windows 7 loaded, it hung trying to update the video card configuration -- seems to be really messed up -- the recovery software does NOT appear to be working at all -
Any help would be appreciated.

If you can't get through a recovery or if you've done a full recovery (which you have) and the problem persists, then you know there's a hardware problem. When that's the case, you should contact technical support at (800) 457-7777 to discuss a repair.

Non-apple keyboard and aperture recovery does not work

Hello all, I use a mac mini with a non-apple keyboard and I am trying to recover my Aperture database, however, although the alt and command key work in all applications, the combination does not start up Aperture in recovery mode. Anyone any ideas? Thanks.

Hi,
Your migration to Lion brought over a previous hot key preferences document. And this contains one bad key that wasn't updated.
- Quit System Preferences (if open)
- Delete this document to remove a carry-over mapping error.
- Then logout
Note: That this will delete any existing modified keyboard assignments. Re-assign changes manually.

Well, the last bad news: after this, the machine tried to restart and a message in a black screen : BOOTMGR is missing.
Nobody deserves it!! :-(

Hello
I dont know what is wrong there but in Recovery category you can find several threads where the people report about same issue. it is interesting that this is reported by US notebooks only.
I am from Europe and I dont know how recovery procedure works there but you can ask this on US forum under http://community.compuserve.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?webtag=ws-laptop&redirCnt=1
I hope you will find answer there. If you find it please let us know what the problem can be.
In my opinion it can be either defective recovery image or some HDD malfunction.
Sorry buddy but such error message is not known to me and I cannot offer any precise answer.
Good luck!

Osx recovery does not work

Hi, my problem is I messed up some boot records on my MBP Retina, Mavericks and now I cannot boot.
I see a folder with question mark. As I try to log into recovry partition ( Cmd + R, R) I go immediately into internet recovery mode.
I tried to do disk repair with First Aid, then disck repair steps, I get - The disk is ok message, but when I try to reboot, I get the same flashing folder thing. Then Safe boot is not available - pressing Shift key I get again flashin folder.
Boot manager not available - pressin Option I get FF again:(
Then I wanted to do a reinstall from internet recovery. There I am offered to reinstall a version of Mountain Lion, but because there is Maveriks already on the hard drive I get a message like -You cannot upgrade this disk because there is newer software installed!!!
This is just ********, now I will have to eraise and loose tons of my work:(
Is there anything I can do? And yes, I have no CD in this model.

So much for #great# recovery tools:(
Yep. It appears so.
The recovery tools work great as long as one doesn't "bork" the Recovery HD partition. Also, using the OS X Recovery Disk Assistant creates the Recovery HD of your OS onto a USB thumb drive so you can use that in an emergency.
But, before you give up.... do you have any friends or family who are running OS X Mavericks? If so, have them download the OS X Recovery Disk Assistant and create a USB thumb drive with the Mavericks Recovery HD on it. Then, you can boot off that and reinstall OS X Mavericks to your Mac. All this will do is reinstall the OS without touching your apps or data.

Lion Internet Recovery does not work

Lion Internet recovery appears to be broken...
On my 27" i5 QC 2010 iMac when to receover via Internet I am unable to do so I tried it using wired networking first and then wireless, same lack of results on both.
I succesfully identify myself with my Apple ID at which point I'm told that changes have been made to license terms and I need to agree to them... no problem, I click on OK to view and agree... nothing happens. No new pop-up allowing me to click on 'agree', eventually the install disk selection un-greys itself and when I click on 'install' I have to got through the same circle of identifying myself and being asked to agree to never appearing new license terms...
Brialliant, yet another Apple failure. My time is money and I did not want to go through the process of re-installing SL, bringing it up to date and then going through AppStore Lion installation... I sure hope I do not get charged another half dozen times for a product I already purchased (like it happened when I initially installed Lion).
Anybody else encounter the same recovery problem? Solutions?

It looks like somebody else did run into the same Apple problem and found the solution...
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15829120#15829120
The solution is to go to AppStore on another computer and login with your AppleID. You must then agree to their new terms & conditions. The only way I knew how to do that was to try and install one of the free apps whereupon I was asked for the agreement.
My iMac is now happily downloading the install...

Qosmio F20 does not work properly

Hi, after a few minutes of usage, or moving the PC while running. Causes the screen to go black with dottes of colour on..
After that the comp. either shutsdown, and the little lights that shows if the PC gets power starts to blink.
Allthough, i removed the battery and im using only the power from the adapter. And then it works fine, but that means i cant move the pc, or it will shut down.
Do i need a new battery? And if i do, where do i get it?
If anyone has had the same problem as me, how did you solve it? (im from sweden btw)
Thank you, (sorry for the bad english><)

Hi there,
it sounds strange, I never heard that a battery would be the cause for such error. Maybe it would be interesting if you can reproduce the
error when attaching the battery back to the machine. If the error appears again, try first to update the bios to the newest available and
if the error persists, bring your machine to a local service partner.
I think maybe its a hardware-related problem, but I cannot tell you securely if yes or not.
If you need really a servicepartner, then follow this link to find the nearest available in your country:

System Recovery does not work. Error Code: 0xe0ef003

I have a Touchsmart 310 1125y - Upon bootup was getting a BOOTMGR is missing. I tried the system recover on the hard drive and that failed with the error code: 0xe0ef003. I went ahead and purchased the cd revovery discs from HP Site ( 4 plus the supplimental reovery disc) and ran all of them and got down to disc 4 and then that same error came up. When I tried to reboot, it comes up to a blank screen with the flashing cursor in the top left corner. I hit ctrl/alt/del and the HP Blue screen comes up, when I hit the F11 now it just goes to a blank screen again with the cursor in the top left corner. Any other suggestions on how I can fix this?

Hi
Once unit is powered on keep tapping F10 Key go to Diagnostics run the Hard drive test if failed you need to replace the Hard drive if test passes kindly let me know.
Let us know how it goes!

I have recently purchased a macbook pro 2011 that does not have original install discs. The macbook does not currently have an OS and internet recovery does not work. Am I able to purchase an OS like Snow Leopard that actually has a disc and install it onto this macbook?

Windows update does not work after using System recovery disk

I have a Toshiba Satellite c655 with WIndows 7 64 bit Home premium. The hard drive died on it, so I purchased a new hard drive and purchased the appropriate Recovery media from Toshiba. I followed the directions and installed the 3 disks on to the new hard drive. But Windows update does not work I get the following error: Windows update can not currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your PC    No matter what I try, I can not get it to work. And it will not let me install Windows Defender either. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time on this matter.

TV does not work anymore on Qosmio G10

Good morning,
TV does not work anymore, may be due to an update. It has been working OK before.
When selecting TV option 'TV direct ' with MCE menu, I get the following error message: "necessary files for video display are not installed or do not work properly, restart MCE or the computer". Restarting MCE and / or G10 does not solve the problem.
-Intervideo WinDVD creator is installed.
-TV PCI tuner seems to work properly (as per hardware status)
Which files can be missing? What needs to be done?
Any help, suggestions, well appreciated.
Thank you to anyone answering this message.

Hello Luciano
Like you know on this way it is not easy to give you precise answer because we dont know what did you done exactly with your Qosmio.
Please try to use System restore tool at first and roll back the operating system to earlier time. Maybe this will help you and the MCE configuration will be as before.
Try it at first.

After Recovery with CD Satellite C660-1FE keyboard does NOT work

Hello,
A month ago I purchased a Toshiba C660-1FE. After three weeks my HD broke down. I bought a new HD from Western Digital and replaced the broken HD. As I did not make an recovery image of my HD, I had to order the Product recovery discs off the Toshiba website (3 discs, of which disc 1 and 3 were the only one's required for installation).
Now, I have the problem that my laptop keyboard does not work. I am currently using a USB keyboard and mouse to replace my keyboard and touchpad of the laptop.
The laptop keyboard works fine in BIOS. Therefore, I hope it's just a driver problem.
I have:
tried finding and installing lots of drivers on from the toshiba website, no result.
tried changing settings in the bios (usb enable/disable).
tried to fix the problem by re-installing the entire computer again several times.
The keyboard seems to work until windows loads. When the system is starting up I can press caps lock and num lock and the green lights come on. This all stops working once the windows startup symbol appears.
Perhaps a second problem in the device manager: under the display-adapter, 2 subcategories have exclamation marks: it says Mobile Intel(R) 4 series express chipset family twice! I can't seems to fix these with any drivers I can find either. When I check the settings I have this message (google translate since it was in dutch):
+The digital signature for the drivers for this device is required, can not be verified. Possible after a recent hardware or software change a file that is installed incorrectly signed or damaged, or is malicious software installed from an unknown source. (Code 52)+
+You need to restart the computer to this device changes to take effect.+ (obviously I tried that too)
Can someone please give me some help? I am at the end of my wits.
Sincerely,
Daniel

Hi MisterX,
thank you for your response. I have tried these things and there is no such thing as PS2/keyboard in device manager. It's as if the Hardware is not even recognizable in windows. I am starting to doubt whether I got the right Backup CD.
I wrote the following e-mail to [email protected]:
+Dear Toshiba,+
+after receiving the recovery CD's for my toshiba c660-1FE, it turns out that the drivers for the keyboard and touchpad are not installed. I have tried many things to get around this but it seems to me that I have received the wrong product recovery CD's. The chipset drivers are not the right ones, the overall layout of this version of windows 7 is different from before and when looking for answers in the toshiba forum I have concluded that the recovery CD's could be the wrong ones.+
+My laptop: Satellite C660-1FE+
+serial: 5B378048K+
+Part-nr: PSC0LE 02M0TU26DU+
+Recovery CD's I received are CD's 1-3 with serial R14254DU+
+Would you be so kind to check whether these CD's should be 100% compatible with my laptop?+
+This would be greatly appreciated,+
+Daniel+
MisterX, do you know any other emails I can forward this too? Or anyone who could perhaps tell me if I got the right CD's? They are taking their time to respong to this...
Kind regards,
Daniel

I have a mac which plays the boot sound but the screen stays black. Recovery mode does not work, as the keyboard is wireless. What do I do?

What it says in the title.
I have an older mac and it worked perfectly until about an hour ago when I shut it down because we needed the room dark for a presentation and the screen saver was putting out light.
Now it won't turn back on. It plays the start up music but the screen stays blank.
The CMD+OPT+R for recovery mode doesn't do anything, the keyboard is wireless so the command doesn't get to the computer and that's the only keyboard I have since that's the one it came with.
I'm looking at making a USB recovery disk but it says that I should click on "Options" in the Disk Utility but there is no options button or menu to click.
From here: OS X: About Recovery Disk Assistant in step 3 I get stuck.
Also it says that if I make a drive on this computer which has an older OS it might not work on the broken machine with Mavericks.
This machine literally worked and I turned it off and now it does not work and there seems to be nothing I can do... ***...

well, then recovery mode does not work. I've tried all the key combinations I've seen on line. Command+R, Command+Option+R, Command+Option+P+R, none of these work.
I don't believe there is anything we can do on a forum to help then, you need to take it into a AASP and have it professionaly diagnosed. If you don't know how to locate an AASP in your area you can begin by using Contact Apple for support and service
Good luck.
