Satellite 1400-103: Cannot access the BIOS Setup

I'm having problems getting into the BIOS setup. At the 1st bootup screen I press ESC key then message appears Check system. Then press F1 key. Once key is pressed it doesn't take me to BIOS setup and laptop reboots. Any help will be much appreciated.
James

No it doesn't. There is a problem with the OS and I was gonna do a repair using an XP disk. I have been trying to boot from cd rom by pressing C button and I've also tried pressing F12 key to change boot device. The teacher whose laptop it is has put a bios password on bootup but I'm assuming this shouldn't affect bootup or accessing the bios setup. I'm not sure if it's a supervisor password or administrator password.

Re: Tecra M11 cannot access the BIOS

I have a brand new Tacra M11-11L machine. I have set a password on the BIOS but cannot now access it at all. When I switch it on I get the Toshiba splash screen, i press the escape key and am presented with a little note saying "F2 for Setup". I press F2 and the screen goes blank, i get a underling cursor flash three times at the top of the screen and then it boots into windows. I need to change a setting that is not covered by HWSetup. I can get into HWSetup with my password but it is not use to me!

Hi
Try firstly *INS* button and then *F2* button
In my case this worked!

Cannot access to BIOS setup

Hi,
My laptop is X61s. After I did fresh Vista install, and fresh RnR, I'm unable to access to BIOS by hitting the blue ThinkVantage button. It automatically jumps to RnR. There is no other options to enter BIOS.
Please help!
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Instead of pressing the blue button, press F1 and you will be able to enter BIOS.

I cannot enter the BIOS mode on my Yoga Ideapad - Novo button does not do anything

Hi,
I have a win 8.1, and cannot access the Bios in any way I tried.
I shut down the computer, pressed the Novo button - nothing happens.
Pressed it while turning the computer on, nothing happens.
I'd like to change the F keys to their normal state (being Fn keys and not volume etc.).
How do I do this?
Thanks,
Iram

Reboot while holding down Shift, choose Advanced -> UEFI Firmware Settings, voila you're in the bios.

Accessing the BIOS - Post Windows 7 Install

After I installed Windows 7 I lost the ability to access the BIOS through pressing the Lenovo Care button. How do I retain this ability? This is on a Lenovo SL500 Thinkpad.
Message Edited by Emanuel on 06-16-2009 10:09 AM

Hi Emanuel:
Have you installed the "System Interface Driver" from the Lenovo Windows 7 beta downloads page? I think that this is the driver that enables the blue Lenovo button.
If that doesn't work, you can still access the BIOS setup by tapping on the F1 key while the computer is starting up.

Is there a way to access the web-based setup for my router if I cannot access the internet?

Okay, I need to change the ip address settings on my router. I have a WRT54G Wireless router. I cannot access the internet on my computer connected to the router, and do not know how to change the router settings without accessing the web-based setup page. So, back to my question. Is there a way to access this page if I cannot connect to the internet?

On the back of the router is a small reset switch. Using a paper clip or other small item, press the switch in and hold it for a few seconds. This will reset the router to the default IP address of 192.168.1.1. Enter that address in your web browser, and be sure your computer is attached to the router by an Ethernet cable. Don't attempt to do this using the wireless connection.
Once you have reached the web configuration utility you can change the DHCP settings.
To give your PC a static IP address you will need to open your network connections panel and, assuming your using Windows XP, make the changes from dynamic IP to static there.

How to access the BIOS on Satellite A500-1G2

Hi
Could you tell me how do you enter the BIOS. I have A500-1G2 laptop. I've upgraded the Bios and i can't get in. Please help me.

Hi
You can access the BIOS pressing F2 button immediately after the notebook has been powered up (after power button has been pressed).
You can press F2 several time to be 100% sure that this worked

Can't boot into Windows 8 Single Language 64 bit or access the BIOS screen with the F1 key

I have in my possession right now a Lenovo E49, Model name: 3464
I am unable to access the BIOS settings at POST by pressing the F1 key. Neither does it respond to the Enter key when it displays the message "To interrupt normal startup, Press Enter". I am also unable to boot into the installed OS Windows 8 Single Language 64 bit.
For your informtion, these are the events that led to this issue.
I accessed the BIOS settings at startup using the CHANGE PC SETTINGS option in the CHARMS menu in Windows 8 Single Languge 64 bit followed by GENERAL and ADVANCED STARTUP. Then I chose Restart Now. Windows restarted to produce the startup screen where I chose Troubleshoot, followed by Advanced Options and UEFI Firmware Settings, followed by Restart. This took me to the BIOS settings screen. Once there I changed the boot settings in BIOS so that SECURE BOOT was turnned OFF. It was in ON state prior to that. I also changed the BOOT MODE to LEGACY ONLY. I also changed the BOOT ORDER to boot from DVD drive first followed by the Hard Disk and USB Hard Disk. I saved the changes by pressing F10.
Now the computer is able to boot from the DVD Drive. I tested this by inserting a Windows 7 Repair DVD and also a Linux Live DVD. Mind you, I didn't mke any changes to the Hard Drive. I'm also able to boot from a USB Hard Disk. This too was tested by inserting a bootable USB HD that had both Windows 7 and Windows 8 OS installers. I used only the command prompt feature in the Repair option on the Windows 8 installer to ensure that I could access the partitions on the HD. I did not in any way install Windows 7 or 8 on the HD.
If there is no bootable DVD or USB HD inserted, the laptop is involved in a loop that restarts followed by a message that says the following:
"Intel Undi, PXE-2.1 (build 083)
Copyright (C) 1997-2000 Intel Corporation
This product is covered by one or more of the following patents:
US5, 307, 459, US5, 434, 872, US5, 732, 094, US6, 570, 884, US6, 115, 776 and US6, 327, 625
Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller Series v2.41 (06/08/11)
PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
PXE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROM."
I am positive that the current state of the BIOS is such that it does not accept any input keys like F1 and F12 at POST so that the BIOS can only be accessed through Change PC Settings in Windows 8 as I had done prior to the occurence of the issue. Since I cannot boot up Windows 8 I cannot use this method to access the BIOS. And since it is not possible at this stage to access the BIOS settings through the F1 key, I believe Lenovo must have surely provided another alternative to enter the BIOS. Can you kindly tell me what other way is there to do this. In earlier days, one could reset the BIOS by shorting the BIOS through pins on the motherboard. Is that possible now? Or is there some Lenovo BIOS utilily that enables me to change the BIOS setting to boot with Legacy and UEFI? Or do I have to install Windows 8.1 64 bit in Legacy mode?

I'll see if another member of the team can jump in here and offer more help...
What I might imagine is that you can only access BIOS from a cold boot. Windows 8/8.1 have hybrid shutdown and don't completely shut down the machine normally, so even when it powers off, it isn't fully off and the next boot is not really a cold boot.
Please see this KB. I realize this assumes you can get into windows.
As you suggest, it also seems as though you have set legacy vs UEFI and that may be why your drive is not currently booting. Can you remove the battery on your system? If not, is there a reset hole on the bottom? Removing battery and AC and pressing and holding the power button several times, then re-attach AC and Battery and try to restart and press F1 to get into BIOS. (Not familiar with models that use enter for BIOS).

Consistently does not open, gives the error: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla\firefox.exe Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may no

Installed FF 16, 17, 18. Will not open in normal administrator login, nor with "Run as administrator" but will in W7 safe mode. Changed permissions (had to do it in W7 Safe Mode, normal login would not allow (logged in as an administrator) could not delete the Mozilla files in normal login. On rare occasions, with a new install, I could get it to open once, then not again. Searched the reg for any mention of Mozilla or FF and cleaned it. Tried FF safe mode, no luck. Checked permissions after taking ownership and propagating full ownership rights to all FF files, many reboots, no luck. Chrome, IE and SeaMonkey work fine. Using a fairly new install of W7 Professional 64 bit, on a Dell Optiplex 990 i7, 16GB ram. Had the same problem with another user on an identical box. No problem on other computers No other program problems.

I should have been a bit more definitive.
I have uninstalled FF, with the windows uninstaller, by manually cleaning the files and the registry of any mention of FF or Mozilla, and by running Revo uninstaller - always rebooting and checking to see if the files are indeed gone. (I have set windows file preferences to see all files, including system files.) I have run 4 AV/malware scanners and found nothing but a few tracking cookies. I download, from Mozilla.org, (http://download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/18.0/win32/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%2018.0.exe) a fresh copy of the Firefox Setup 18.0.exe each time and install when logged in as an administrator and choose "Run as Administrator". I get the same result each time I try to open Firefox. Consistently does not open, gives the error: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla\firefox.exe Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." This happens even when I run the .exe file from the x86 program directory. I have also attempted to run in XPsp3 compatibility mode to no avail,
I make the following assumptions:
The system is not infected
I am doing clean installs
There is no existing trace of FF on the system
I get identical results on one other W7 64 bit Optiplex 990 system with an i7 processor and 16 GB or ram.
I CAN run in windows safe mode with networking.
I have no other software or hardware issues.

I cannot access the built in notes app on my I pad air

I cannot access the built in app "notes" on I pad air, any ideas

Do a Spotlight Search (tap & drag down from the center of the Home Screen) for "notes". It may be hidden in a folder or elswhere. A Spotlight Search will find it. It *cannot* be deleted from the iPad so it's there somewhere.
You can also try to reset the unit to see if it shows up that way:
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.
As a last resort, you can restore your Home Screen's icon layout. The reset all of your icons locations to default and arrange the icons alphabetically from the first free page after the unit's default icons so be prepared if you have you icons setup in a certain order.

Error: "Cannot access the web server" with BlazeDS Turnkey

Help! I'm new to Flex and BlazeDS and Eclipse. I was trying to setup a Flex Project using a BlazeDS/Tomcat server running from Eclipse on Windows XP per the example in flexbandit.com/archives/55#comment-269 and in (www.infoq.com/articles/blazeds-intro).   I am NOT using the Eclipse Flex plug-in. I'm using Flex Builder for the Flex code.
Here's what I've done:
I installed BlazeDS and tested http://localhost:8400 - That worked.
I setup Tomcat in Eclipse. - That seemed to work.
I created a Dynamic Web Project in Eclipse - That seemed to work.
I created the bare-bones BlazeDS Configuration under the Eclipse project and then created a basic HelloWorld java class.
I added the destination in the “remoting-config.xml” file found in the c:/projects/workspace/ReportGenTool/WebContent/WEB-INF/flex” directory:
<destination id="HelloWorld">   <properties> <source>HelloWorld</source> </properties> </destination>
When I started the application server by clicking on the server's green play button in Eclipse and then tried to open localhost:8400/ReportGenTool, I got the 404 error : The requested source (/ReportGenTool/) is not available which according to the instructions is fine.
Next I created a Flex Project, but when I try to validate the new Flex project configuration, it gives me an error "Cannot access the web server. The server may not be running, or the web root folder or root URL may be invalid."
When I validated the server was running after setting up the BlazeDs Turnkey, I saw the BlazeDS page.
Now when I bring up http://localhost:8400 I get:
      Directory Listing for /
      Apache Tomcat/6.0.14
My eclipse project is named ReportGenTool and I've overwritten the WebContent directory with the META-INF and WEB-INF directories from the BlazeDS installation (C:\blazeds\tomcat\webapps\blazeds). According to Eclipse the server is running.
My Flex project is named ReportGenTool and is located in another directory away from the Eclipse project directory.
     My root folder is: C:\Projects\workspace\ReportGenTool\WebContent
     Root URL: is http://localhost:8400/ReportGenTool/
     Context root is: /ReportGenTool/
Any idea what might be wrong? What didn't I configure that needs to be configured?
Thanks in advance.

This is not working because your router has a direct to your web server that is not through the outside interface which is needed for nat to occur, for this to work you need to setup a loopback interface as nat outside and policy route traffic to there for your server traffic
Bu if your server is internal why do you need nat at all? Can you not use bind with views that might be simpler

"Windows cannot access the specified device....

So Itunes has been giving me trouble for about a week. I occurred multiple problems and was able to fix all of them except for this one. I am the admin, and i have tried "Run as administartor". But every time i click on Itunes i get this error...
C:\Program Files (x86)\Itunes\Itunes.exe
Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.
I need some help here...

I think something ghastly may have happened to the Access Control Lists (ACLs) on your system, Lebz. There's just too many permissions errors cropping up for this to be a happenstance thing.
Usually, when people suffer from something like this, we try using a batch file for the subinacl tool. Unfortunately, the relavant script we use is designed for 32-bit systems:
[Solving setup errors by using the SubInACL tool to repair file and registry permissions|http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2006/09/04/solving-setup-err ors-by-using-the-subinacl-tool-to-repair-file-and-registry-permissions.aspx]
In addition to the advice given by Mr Stebner in the Comments to that blog entry:
Hi Dharamg - The reset.cmd script currently doesn't work on 64-bit operating systems. I can post a fix later, but in the meantime, all you need to do is change the item that says %ProgramFiles% to say %ProgramFiles(x86)% instead and then it should run correctly. The error you see about "subinacl is not recognized..." means that the full path listed for subinacl.exe in reset.cmd doesn't match the location that it is actually installed on your system.
... I think it's plausible that you might need to add another line granting permissions to the Program Files (x86) folder too. But I'm not sure about that.
So, perhaps it might be best to post a query at the blog there, asking if you need to do that or not.
