RD230 - Won't boot after BIOS - Server beeps and the screen is blank.

Hi there,
I have a problem with one of our RD230.
The Server seems to be ok. No Errors in BIOS. SATA Raid configured and so on...
But the server simply won't boot from CD or USB Drive or HDD.
After the whole BIOS Process the server gives a permanent beep and the Digitron shows code 00. The Screen just shows a blinking cursor top left.
Nothing happens.
Removing the RAID, CD Drive, Network Card doesn't help.
Does anyone have an Idea whats going on with this server?
Also setting the J45 Jumper doesn't help.
Thanks in Advance,
Cheers,
Chris

2 Things that can typically fix this issue. Please reseat the memory and if that does not fix it, please reseat the processor.
Questions
1 - Has this system worked prior to this or is this an out-of-box failure?
2 - If it has worked in the past, what changes were made just prior to this issue? (ie Windows Update, BIOS Update, firmware update, driver(s) update, etc.)

After taking a pix with my iPhone, it shows up in my Album. But when I select it to look at it or forward it, it disappears and the screen is blank. How do I fix this?

After taking a pix with my iPhone, it shows up in my Album. But when I select it to look at it or forward it, it disappears and the screen is blank. This doesn't happen with all of my pictures. I have the camera set on photo, with HDR off. How do I keep this from happening?

Not sure if this helps you, but I had the same issue. I inadvertently must have chosen a filter instead of none. Once I went and fixed this, my pictures were in my roll and I could see them. Hope this helps. I think you should be able to pick a filter and take a picture, but it worked for my phone.

Plug it into the charger/wall socket and let it charge for at least an hour. It just might start charging. If you have already tried charging it for a fair amount of time and it didn't work, try restoring the device with iTunes.

Plug your device into the original charger & block in a wall outlet and leave it alone for a couple of hours. Then, while it is still plugged in, restart it by holding down the home button and the power button for 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple, then let go.

Edge 15 won't boot after BIOS upgrade

Hi everyone.
I have a Lenovo Edge 15 and I recently (as in, this morning) tried to upgrade the Bios from the support site for the Haswell i5.
I downloaded the exe, let it run and received the notification that my computer would restart. I just it do it's thing, it goes into the BIOS and appears to be install the bios fine, and then I receive a notice my laptop would restart.
But, once it restarted, it set went into a boot menu. I select the HDD where my OS is installed but the screen goes blank and then (appearantly after restarting) goes back to the boot screen.
I can get into the BIOS fine but I cannot get past the boot menu.
I tried opening my laptop, disconnecting the battery and the CMOS battery (I think it's a CMOS battery), plugged/put them back in and I still have the same issue.
Any ideas as to what the issues is?

You have to try this many times, the timing of holding the keys together is very important 1-3 seconds.
If that doesn't work I'd probably affected your hardware, you may have to contact HP.

My MacBook Pro Beeps and the Screen Goes Crazy

I upgraded my RAM from 4GB to 8GB a couple months ago. Ever since then, my MacBook would freeze and the screen would get all weird and distorted, and then it continues to sound off three longish beeps. I can't do anything except hold down the power button until it shuts off. This only happens every couple of days. I'm thinking it's a RAM issue and I've already tried reseating the RAM, but it keeps happening. Anyone have any solutions? Maybe the RAM is faulty?

Wow. Every 5th thread is someone who has a problem with their screen going black since 10.6.8

Macbook won't start up and the screen stays blank but the light is on...

So one day randomly my macbook screen turned blank but he white light stayed lit up entirely. I tried moving the mouse around but the screen remained blank. I've tried to shut the macbook off and turn it on again and the white light goes off and on when I do that but the screen remains blank and the start up chime is not heard.
I've tried every single solution on the apple troubleshooting except trying to start up from disc because I can't put the restore disc in because the disc drive will not bring the disc in. I am not under warranty anymore and I need help desperately if anyone can help me out here. I can provide more details if neccessary.

Try to also press cmd+v while booting the system, it will print out whatever it's doing on the screen if it boots successfully past its POST. If not, then I think there's a motherboard (also called a logic board by Apple) issue.
It doesn't really sound like a hard drive failure since the hard drive failure will result in a ? logo.
Have you also tried to reset your PRAM?

T450s won't boot after bios update

Just got my new t450s yesterday. Booted it up today and connected to the internet. Lenovo widget popped up and told me there was an update. It said there was a new bios update. I walked through the UI steps and it installed the new bios and then went to reboot the machine. Machine did not post. Any attempt to power on gets a blank screen and 2 short beeps, pause, 3 short beeps. The Green light on the power button is currently gently pulsing. pressing and holding the power button does nothing. Tried unpluging and replugging both the battery and the AC adaptor and no change. help?

Guys, I just faced the same issue. My T450s was delivered to me this afternoon. I got it home and plugged it in and was prompted for the BIOS update while I was updating Windows. Went through the UI and the machine did not come up after shutting down for the update. I found this post online and tried to factory reset but did not get a response again. Things were getting crazy and I decided to try and remove the external battery and let it drain down. But I just thought of trying the factory reset after the external battery was removed and it worked!! The machine has booted up and went straight into installing the Windows updates and I found that the BIOS has been successfully updated too. Really weird! Seems to be running fine now. But a scary way to start off!

Won't boot after bios update

My HP Envy 15 - j028TX did a bios update and when I turned the power on later would not boot. I can hear the fan, power button works but nothing comes on the screen at all. No beeps are heard, the caps lock button flashes twice and the f12 button stays on. I've done a hard reset, any suggestions.

[HP Omni 10 5601TW] Tablet won't boot after BIOS update

I tried to use this utility to update my tablet's BIOS.http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-132613-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=4157&product=6796753&sw_lang= After the update my tablet doesn't boot, or in the words of what this BIOS version fixes, the tablet stops functioning and displays a black screen after the BIOS is updated. How can I restore previous BIOS? Thanks in advance,Arpan

hey, i have run into the exactly same issue with my Omni 10 - Win 8. there was a BIOS update available in the HP Assistant app, i installed it and rebooted. Now no display on boot. On pressing the power button, i just get a usual small vibreation of the tablet switching on, and then nothing happens. the vibreation keeps repeating every 10-15 seconds. there is no display. i have tried with power+vol up and also power+ vol down button combos, but it just keeps vibrating every 10-15 seconds with no display. was a solution found for this?

Helix died on me, won't boot after BIOS update

I just did a BIOS update the other day. No idea what version it is. When I booted it said it "detection error on HDD...". I have since reset the BIOS options to default, and now it boots to a DOS-like boot screen that shows the ATA HDD0 drive. But selecting it and hitting enter just flashes the screen and nothing happens.
When I attach a USB thumb drive with Linux, it shows up in the options on the DOS-like boot screen, but selecting it won't boot from it.
The laptop is now totally uselss and I'm losing days of time and it's a major problem. What to do?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello. Assuming that you have not clean installed a new operating system, and you've got the
original Win8 installation on your Helix.
Enter your BIOS setup by pressing F1 when the Lenovo logo appears.
Go to Security - Secure Boot and set it to Disabled if you want to boot any other OS than Win8.
If you're happy with just running Windows 8 on it, then I recommend Secure Boot to be set to ON.
Go to Startup - Boot - and on top should be Windows Boot Manager.
With Secure Boot set to on, UEFI/Legacy Boot is greyed out and set to UEFI Only.
With Secure Boot set to off, and you want to boot other OS, like Linux, it should be set to both.
Check these settings and see if your machine boots.

HP Omni 10 5600 Tablet won't boot after BIOS update

The tablet is not loaded (boot) after update bios. The screen was dark during update bios in windows 8.1, there is vibration when you press the power button 5-10sec. Or vibration when you press the touch button Win. Help please.
Tell me at least what type of BIOS
What is the shortcut key startup recovery Bios?

I had a similar issue. Hold the power button for approximatel 6-10 seconds and see if you see the anything on the screen. It worked for me. Also try and connect a usb keyboard if you have one.
I would do this with the power supply plugged in to the tablet as well. Good luck.

PC won't boot after BIOS flash

Hi
A few months back I flashed my BIOS to v2.5. Ever scince, the PC has not been as stable, so when upgrading my gfx card, and pc would crash all the time, I decided to revert back to v2.4.
When I re-flashed to v2.4, it flashed OK, but when I rebooted, the D-LED's showd 4 red's. According to the manual, this means that the CPU is either damaged or not installed properly.
The CPU works perfectly, as I tried it in a friends pc, but everytime I turn the power on I get 4 red LED's from the D-Bracket and the machine refuses to boot.
Does this mean the flash went bad? If so, is there anyway to revive a dead BIOS or do I now have a dead motherboard?
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply Maesus.
I tried the BIOS Recovery Feature, but it did not work. I will try to send it to a place that can recover corrupted BIOS's, otherwise if that does not work, I guess I need a new board then.

HP dv7 1150us won't boot after bios update

I have a HP dv7 1150us that I was given to replace my other HP that died. I put my hard drive from my other Laptop in this one, it ran good. I was updating the drivers for the new PC, there was a Bios update, I did it. When my laptop rebooted it would not go past POST and the caps lock & number lock are flashing 4 times, pause, and repeat. Other then buy a new motherboard is there anything else I can do?

Please try the BIOS Recovery method
see if this does the trick,

Pavilion g6t wont boot after bios update now just black screen please help!

I downloaded an update for the bios for my pavilion g6t-1d00 laptop running windows 7 64 bit. It started acting kind of funny but I didnt think anything of it til I tried to boot it up the next day and all I got was a black screen and a orange led light on the f12 button for the internet and the caps lock button after blinking afew times started the dredded two times every couple of seconds. I tried the windows key+B key power key, no luck. I cant access anything because I have no monitor and I'm at my wits end. I refuse to wipe my hard drive and start over even if I could! I cant access hp tools or manager or anything, please someone has to have a solution!

@Fuschia4me,
1.       You will have to use another computer
2.       Access the HP.com site with the BIOS updates available here is the link
3.       You want to select the F.36 BIOS version
4.       When you click on the update then click download and it will ask you to save or run, you want to save to a flash drive
5.       Once done insert the flash drive into your laptop
6.       Turn the computer on and press the windows and B key like before
If the process doesn’t work the first time I would try at least 2 more times.
Please respond back at your earliest convenience.
Thanks
