Satellite C660-106 wont get past boot screen and shuts down

hi all new here
well we have had our c660 106 for 2 month now,but the missus decided to drop it from about 6 inches high, it stayed on but the led screen is cracked internally as the colours were bleeding over etc,unwatchable.
It stayed on untill today and ive been pricing screens up.(had it connected through rgb to my home lcd)
i had to unplug the laptop and turn it off,but now the problem is when i switch it on it will do the inital fire up to the toshiba black screen where i have the options 0f f2 and f12 but then immediately turns off completely, we are worried now as we have a 1 yr old and we have everything she has ever done on there,
is there anything i can try
i know warranty wont cover it as its obvious the screens broken and not just failed.
any help would be brill
thanks

Hi nicolas221078_1
This sounds to be some damage to the motherboard or cooling system and this is why it is now turning off all I can say is are you able to access the BIOS if so then it may be the HDD but if not then you will know 100% it is the motherboard.
If the HDD is ok then you can take it to a data recovery service that should be able to recovery most or all of the data that is stored on the HDD.
also just another thing to point out is to check the memory is sat correctly in the laptop this will not cause any issues with a warranty, also have you though about contense insurance they may cover the damage laptop.

Z10 won't get past Blackberry word and shuts down

Hello,
My Z10 battery died a few days back.
I tried charging it, but all the phone did was light the red light for like 5 seconds, then started initiating the startup sequence by displaying the word Blackberry for 2 seconds, and then it just shuts down and only puts the red light back up.... and then it just goes into an infinite loop of doing that over and over again.
I thought it's a battery issue, so I got a new battery and tried it out, it worked fine, until it was drained last night. This morning I tried to get the phone to start after hooking it up to the charger only to go into the same thing with the new battery.
The issue I see is that the start up doesn't go past the blackberry screen and it either doesn't have enough charge to continue since the battery is drained and the phone doesn't seem to be able to charge it.
First, How can I charge the battery to get the phone going? I tried the wall charger, USB one, USB cable.....nothing worked.
Second, Is there a way to avoid that in the future other than making sure the battery isn't drained??
My company has a choice of Blackberry or iPhone usage and I opted to continue with BlackBerry, please show me I made the right choice!
Thank you,
Shehab

Using your OEM wall charger, let it charge several hours.
Then with the charger still connected remove the battery for about 20 minutes and reinsert the battery, with the charger still connected.
Watch the screen & LED, what do you see?
If still no luck, try doing the same with the SIM card & Media card both removed.

Power Mac G4 starts, gets to gray screen and shuts down

My Power Mac G4 will start up, but after it gets to the gray screen with the Apple and the spinning gear for a minute or so the computer shuts down. I have started the computer while holding down the "C" with the 10.4 OS disc in and used the Disk Utility to run First Aid. First Aid fails stating:
__*Keys out of order*__
__*Rebuilding Catalog B-tree.*__
__*The volume Macintosh HD could not be repaired.*__
__*Error: The underlying task reported failure to exit*__
__*1 HFS volume checked*__
__*1 volume could not be repaired because of an error*__
__*Repair attempted on 1 volume*__
__*1 volume could not be repaired*__
I have attempted to start computer in safe mode but it just shuts down... no difference.

You have directory corruption on your hard drive that Dusk Utility can't repair. DiskWarrior can probably fix your problem. DiskWarrior by Alsoft

Your boot drive is damaged in some way. If you have an original installation disc, you can boot from that and run Disk Utility. From DU you can select your internal hard drive ("Macintosh HD" is the name Apple puts on it - you may have renamed yours) and select "Verify Disk". If errors come up, try "Repair Disk". If it repairs, then you should be able to restart and boot from it. If it doesn't show up or won't repair, your drive is probably hosed.

New 27" iMac taking ages to boot up and shut down

i JST bought, literally a week ago, a new 27" imac core 2 duo and it takes forever to boot up and shut down
boot up: 30 - 40mins
shutdown: undetermined (shut down at 1am, was still shutting down at 7am when i got up for work!)
anyone any ideas?

For the startup part, I would reset PRAM
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
and once it gets to the Desktop, open System Preferences +Startup Disk+ pane. Make sure your internal drive is selected (highlighted) as the startup disk choice.
Not sure about the shutdown issue, since there are many potential causes. One could be a running process that is having a problem quitting. Try starting up and then immediately shutting down (give it a few minutes to fully start up but shut down before you run anything else). Does it shut down quickly, or do you have the same problem?

My ipad showed a blue screen and shut down.

My ipad showed a blue screen and shut down. I cannot restart it. A soft restart did not work. I tried connecting to iTunes on the PC but it did not detect the device

Did you try resetting the iPad?
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 if it appears- let go of the buttons.
If that doesn't do anything, try this for the issue with iTunes not seeing the iPad.

Is Lion slow booting up and shutting down?

After I installed Lion, my macbook pro is slow to boot up and shut down. How can you turn off "re-open windows when logging back on"?

The beeps on startup are often indicative of RAM problems. The opening chime is the only normal noise on startup. Shutdown should be essentially silent. To the Apple store, PRONTO!
Ciao.

My 2012, 17" macbook pro starts, gray screen and shuts down.

Anybody knows why my 2012, 17" macbook pro is starting with gray screen and mac logo and shuts down after?
I have Mavrick on. Last night i tried to use itunes and got an error for the first time. It said " itunes was corrupted or not installed correctly" . There is no reason because i listened to music just day before. After working on some docs i shut down the laptop. This morning when i tried to start up it didnt happened. Tried all shortcuts to do recorvery. It said " mac HD and Recorvery HD" both are blocked and not accessible.
Ran another doagnoses, checked hard drive and got errors.
I cant see why hard drive might be damaged.
Plz help me out. I didnt do any backup and dont ant to reformat it.
Thanks
-Soleil

Well, i tried different things. First tried Recorvery start. It showed mac HD and Recovery HD but i couldnt choose any, said it was locked.
When i diagnosed the hard drive, dont remember exactly but it ran the HD test and on red showed Hard Drive damaged.
Tonight after putting this questions here i tried again Online Help option, i could see all my folders, files, applications but couldnt open any. It was using Safari.
Not sure whats going on. All started with getting slow and i didnt turn the laptop off "was on sleep" for few days till last night.
Like i said before, last night i couldnt start iTunes, but didnt pay attention to it and shut off laptop. Only if i knew it wont start up again.. :-(

N6233 start,PIN code,white screen and shuts down i...

Hello,
My N6233 after switching on and entering PIN shows only white screen with battery icon and shuts down automatically after a few seconds. Would it be possible to repair it by upgrading FW by using NSU or some another SW ?
Thanks,
Lubo

Have you tried removing the sim card and memory card then trying to switch it on?
If it still doesn't work then your only option is to take it to a nokia care point. You cannot use the NSU if the phone cannot boot up properly.
If it works without the sim and memory card let us know.

Canada • Middle East and Africa

Macbook wont get past second screen (blue)when turned on

just recently, my macbook (13 in 2008)started acting wrong for no apparent reason.when i turn it on it does the chime and the apple screen then goes to a blue screen and gets stuck there.if i start in safe mode, it doesn't even get past the apple screen. i've also tried to reset the pram, but no luck.

did you try _*resetting the System Management Controller SMC*_ ?
if still no joy, try booting from the install DVD, launch disk utility and run a +repair disk+ session. if DU reports problems, repeat until no more errors appear. if DU insists the disk can't be repaired, you may need to get DiskWarrior or [_*TechTool Pro*|http://www.micromat.com/index.php?option=comcontent&task=view&id=202&Itemid=107].

Satellite A300 will not get past splash screen

Hi All
got an issue with an A300 laptop about 2-2.5 years old. I have just installed windows 7 prof and it was working fine for about 3 days and then suddenly it stopped booting up.
It gets to the toshiba splash screen and then reboots. it does not even try to boot into windows. you can go into the bios and make changes etc. you cannot press f8 to load into safe mode it does not even get that far.
You can press f12 and get the boot menu up and try to boot from CD but this again does not work and it just reboots again
I'm not sure how else to troubleshoot it. I dont think its a motherboard problem as you can get into the bios.
It could be a HDD problem but then i thought it would have gave you a warning message of some kind ( no boot device available ) and you can see the HDD in bios and would have thought it would have at least booted to CD.
The only things i can think of are RAM problem HDD problem or Motherboard problem.
I think installing win 7 3days ago is just a huge coincidence?
Any help would be great. Thanks

Hi hitenkacha,
> tired to boot from a windows 7 disk and this does not work
In this case it seems to be a hardware malfunction because a Microsoft Windows disk should also work properly.
> i can try and flash the bios but im not sure how i can do that
This is only possible on Windows because its a Windows based update. Furthermore BIOS update will not help you if the hardware is defective.
> is my theory correct that if you can get into the bios then thats a sign that the Motherboard is ok?
Thats hard to say because for going into BIOS you dont need much performance.
I would recommend contacting an authorized service provider and let the guys check the hardware of your computer. Theoretically it could be everything so a professional diagnostic is recommendable in this case.
Good luck! :)
