T400 is Stuck on Thinkpad Startup Screen

Had the laptop for 11 months no issues, I woke up to find the computer stuck on the startup screen. Tried rebooting, took out the battery, tried it pluged in, unpluged and it keeps stopping at the startup screen. Any suggestions?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello mate,
Unplug the AC adapter and take out the battery.
Then, you push the power button 10 times in a row at one second intervals.
Next, you push and hold the power button for 30 seconds.
Then you put the battery back in and push the power button to turn on the computer.
See if it works.

  • Lenovo ThinkPad R500 gets stuck on the startup screen

    Hello!
    I searched for a solution but couldn't find one.
    In my company we only use Thinkpads and I got an R500 wich was replaced by a newer model.
    It was working (I saw it), the admin told me he would delete the bios-password. He opened BIOS->Security (did see wich password he changed) closed it and gave it to me.
    Now on startup it is stuck on the startup screen saying "To interrupt normal startup, press blue ThinkVantage button", and no button does anything. I removed CMOS-Battery but still the same.
    Any help appreciated
    Best regard

    Check USB port whether it is broken or pin is touching each other.

  • T420S Stuck at Thinkpad boot screen - Cont. loop

    I was trying to fresh install Win 8.1. It has Win8 previously and was working fine.
    After I plugged in the Win 8.1 boot usb, it stuck at thinkpad boot screen and cont. rebooting.
    Only thing changed in BIOS is moving USB boot up higher and disabled Computrace. Earlier it was enabled.
    I can still get to BIOS by F1.
    Looked all the USB port. None of USB ports are damaged or pins shorting each other. I also tested the HD by putting in my other working T500. HD is fine. Restored BIOS to default as well but no luck.
    Any idea?
    Tried all the method including CMOS reset, but no help.
    Thanks for the help!

    No, it does stuck in the same loop. Continuously booting and showing Thinkpad boot screen again and again.
    I took the HDD out and no USB connected. same behaviour with or without HDD.
    In BIOS startup is set to both - Legacy and UFEI.
    Only change I had made prior to installing Win 8.1 is turn off Intel Anti theft module under security in BIOS.

  • My iPod is stuck on the startup screen, showing just the apple logo. Has anyone had this problem before? If yes, then how did you solve it?

    My iPod is stuck on the startup screen, showing just the apple logo. Has anyone had this problem before? If yes, then how did you solve it?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Why does my macbook pro gets stuck in the startup screen?? its the older versiom

    its like stuck in the startup screen. i tried a few times and even took out the battery twice. please help!! i have some important document stored inside i cannot retrieve now!!!! 
    i think the operating system is like 10.7.something

    You might have a failing hard drive. If you're running 10.7.x, try booting into your Recovery partition - holding down the Command and R keys whilst booting. Once at the installatio screen, use Disk Utility to verify and, if needed, repair your hard drive. If it can be repaired, you should be good to go - if it can't be repaired then you're going to need to go shopping for a new drive.

  • W540 stuck on ThinkPad splash screen

    I've got W540 (32GB RAM, 500GB HDD) running Windows 7.1 64bit that is constantly getting stalled at the ThinkPad splash screen during powerup.
    It will often stall at the "ThinkPad" splash screen.  
    Other times it will stall at the "ThinkPad" splash screen with the "To interrupt normal startup, pess Enter" message displayed.
    I've seen other entries that reference this issue with:
    - using a SSD, I'm a standard HDD.
    - a broken USB port.  Mine all look OK (is there a way to actually test them?)
    I've updated to the latest Bios and reset the Bios defaults with no change.
    I've run the hardware diagnostic tests and found no errors.
    When I say "stall" on the splash screens I sometimes find if I leave it alone long enough (maybe 5+ minutes) it will continue to the normal Windows boot up.
    This is the 2nd W540 out of a pool of laptops to display symptoms similar to this.
    Anyone got information on what may cause a stall at the ThinkPad splash screen?
    Thanks.

    Not knowing your exact set up, but KNOWING that this is a blind black box with no activity light like a normal workstation, you need to do workarounds.
    Normally, on my older workstation, I could see the HD light blink and the rate would give me an inkling of the process.
    The WORKAROUND: we now need to calibrate your computer clock to your watch, or use a cell phone time keeper which would already be synced if the W540 is connected to the WiFi (no switch so the W540 has to be connected, unless there is no access point).  As an aside, I have found that when there are large MS updates, like last Tuesday, or other such WiFi connected updated, the compute also hangs with the user having NO KNOWLEDGE that the WiFi is talking / or calling home to some cloud device.
    Back to the workaround: Boot the system, and when there appears to be a crash or hang in the sequence, note the time of the 'event' and also note the time when it appears to restart.  Once properly booted, and I cannot tell you how often this has happened to my W540, check the even times in the [Event Viewer].  Too long to explain, Google the term "Win 7 Event Viewer", or check this:
    MS Help - Event Viewer
    Then find out where the computer chokes and restarts by checking the time in the events and the cause.  These are i/o routines which the Lenovo Gods have decide to shield us from such WORKSTATION task.
    FWIW, often I get <Program Not Responding>, when in fact it is performing a numbers intensive task.... yet I cannot tell what is happening as there is no i/o light. Usually unlocks when the task is finished, which may be what is happening on your system.  You need to find out the task that is  causing the wait.
    Odd, the Lenovo Gaming machines Y50 have these lights, albeit atrophied:  see lower 4 indicator lights....

  • IMac g5 is stuck at white startup screen with apple logo & spinning circle

    Hello,
    i had a digital copy of os x leopard and i was trying to reinstall it, so i would double click on install mac os x, and it would tell me to restart, i would do this but nothing happened so i had to mount the disk again and double click install mac os x, and it told me to restart again. so i looked up how to install leopard from a dmg file, and it said to restore the dmg to the drive, so i went into disk utility and i put the source as the dmg, and the destination i dragged the imac hdd icon. it finished and i was gonna select the leopard file as my startup disk in system preferences, but that wouldnt run. i then noticed some of the letters were missing on the name of the icons in the dock, so i just restarted the computer, but it got stuck on the white screen. i tried lots of stuff like turning on while holding shift, but it didnt do anything, and i tried with cmd+s and that gave me some black command prompt where i typed/sbin/fsck -fy and that did some stuff and it said my drive was okay, but it still wont start up. What do i do?!?!

    im trying tiger right now, first i wanna reinstall tiger, than leopard next, you know, one problem at a time. i dunno maybe, heres the readme:

    Updating your computer’s firmware
    You may need to update your computer’s firmware. It’s best to update the firmware
    before installing Mac OS X. If you haven’t started the Mac OS X Installer, check the
    Apple Software Updates website to see if there are any firmware updates for your
    computer:
    • www.apple.com/support/downloads/
    If you don’t do this, you may see a message that you need to update your computer’s
    firmware when you start the Installer. To update the firmware, you will need to quit the
    Installer and restart your computer using your current startup disk, then check the
    Software Updates website.
    If you have problems with your computer after installing this version of Mac OS X, you
    might need to update the firmware even though you did not see a message when you
    installed the software. Check the Software Updates website for recent firmware updates
    for your computer.

    Advice about hardware compatibility
    Installing on a Power Macintosh G3 (Blue and White)
    If you have a Power Macintosh G3 (Blue and White) that came with an Apple SCSI hard
    disk, do not choose UNIX File System (UFS) as the format for the destination disk.
    Installing on a computer with a third-party SCSI card
    If you have a third-party SCSI card installed in your computer and you cannot start up
    Mac OS X, attach a disk drive or terminator to one of the card’s ports. If you continue
    to have problems, try removing the card. Contact the manufacturer of the card for
    more information about using the card with Mac OS X.
    Installing on a computer with a third-party video card
    If you have a third-party video card installed in your computer, you may need to
    remove it before you install Mac OS X. Contact the manufacturer of the card for more
    information about using the card with Mac OS X.
    Advice about installing Mac OS X
    Erasing and formatting your disk
    When you install Mac OS X, you can erase the destination disk you select. In the “Select
    a Destination” pane of the Installer, click the Options button. Select Erase and Install
    then choose a format. In most cases, choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    Important Do not choose UNIX File System (UFS) unless you need to work with this
    format. If you choose UFS, Mac OS 9 and all Mac OS 9 applications must be installed on
    a Mac OS Extended format disk to use them with the Classic environment.
    To install Mac OS X on the same disk or disk partition as Mac OS 9, the disk must be in
    Mac OS Extended format. If it isn’t, quit the Installer and back up your files, then
    reformat the disk.
    You can also partition your hard disk into several volumes before you install Mac OS X.
    In the Installer, choose Utilities > Open Disk Utility and click Partition. Partitioning the
    disk erases the entire disk, so be sure to back up your files first.
    Installing optional software
    Easy Install installs all the software you need to use Mac OS X, but does not install
    some additional software. If you want to install this optional software or you don’t
    want to install all the software installed using Easy Install, click Custom Install and
    select the items you want to install. If you want to install this optional software later,
    insert the Mac OS X Install DVD and double-click Optional Installs.
    Locating the Installer log
    When you install Mac OS X, the Installer saves a log of the installation. To see the log,
    open Console (in /Applications/Utilities), click Logs, then click the triangle next to /
    var/log and select install.log.
    Reinstalling Mac OS X
    To reinstall Mac OS X, insert the Mac OS X Install DVD and double-click the Install
    Mac OS X icon, then follow the onscreen instructions. When you see the “Select a
    Destination” pane, click Options to select how to install Mac OS X:
    • Select “Archive and Install” to save your existing system files, user accounts and
    their home folders, and existing network settings. The Installer saves files in a
    folder named Previous System so that you can copy them to an appropriate location
    later. You cannot start up your computer using the Previous System folder.
    • Select “Erase and Install” to erase the destination volume and install a new copy of
    Mac OS X. If you select this option, you will lose all your files and the software you
    have installed on the destination volume, so you may want to back it up first. If you
    select this option, you can choose the format for the volume. In most cases, choose
    Mac OS Extended (Journaled) from the pop-up menu.
    Setting up and connecting to the Internet
    If you have an existing Internet service provider (ISP) and you’re installing Mac OS X for
    the first time, you need to enter your Internet connection information when installation
    finishes. Be sure to have the information available. If you have problems connecting to
    the Internet, contact your ISP to make sure you have the correct information.
    Advice about using Mac OS X
    If you have problems starting up
    If you cannot start up your computer, insert the Mac OS X Install DVD and restart your
    computer while holding down the C key. Choose, Choose > Open Disk Utility, then
    click First Aid to repair your disk.
    If you have problems starting up your computer and you have devices connected to
    your computer such as FireWire drives, USB printers, or external displays, try
    disconnecting them before starting up again.
    Upgrading your applications and other software
    For best results with Mac OS X, look for versions of your applications that are built for
    Mac OS X. Check the Mac OS X website for information about available applications:
    • www.apple.com/macosx/
    If you cannot find Mac OS X versions, upgrade to the latest Mac OS 9 version to use
    with the Mac OS X Classic environment. Check with the manufacturers for the latest
    updates.
    Using POP email accounts and On My Mac mailboxes in Tiger and Panther
    If you have a shared home folder and you access a POP email account using Mail in
    both Mac OS X Panther and Mac OS X Tiger, you will not see messages that you retrieve
    in one version when you switch to the other.
    As an alternative, you can deselect the option to remove copies from the server after
    retrieving your messages. To change this option, open the Accounts pane of Mail
    preferences and click Advanced.
    You will not see messages saved in a mailbox on your computer when you switch from
    one version to another. To avoid this problem, use separate home folders for each
    version of Mac OS X.

  • Macbook stuck on white startup screen

    Good Afternoon,
    Yesterday evening I was running Pages, suddenly everything went stuck and I had the "rainbow wheel". It was an important file so I just wanted to wait untill it was fixed again. Waiting for 1 hour without any solution, then I decided to force my macbook out(held the power button for 5 seconds).
    It felt like my macbook was overheat so I waited for a few hours to turn it back on. When I actually turned it on, you heard the noice "bzztbzzt, tuduuum" but then nothing happens, only the white screen shows up, Ive waited for hours and hours to see if anything would happen, I've googled the problem and i've tried (i guess) all the combinations with starting up. It still stucks on the white screen.
    I've decided to run the battery empty and waited all night, when I woke up this morning I tried to turn it on again, nothing happend, just the white screen.
    Im desperate and YES I know there are more topic about this, but couldn't find the answer!
    Also my macbook is not just "silence" at the white screen, sometimes the processor is working hard, also the macbook is getting extremely warm.
    One more note, This happend to me before, but then 2 hours later it was fixed, so I hoped that would work this time again, but unfortunatley.
    All idea's are welcome and ill try them!
    Greetings,
    Rinke

  • Stuck on gray startup screen!

    This morning my Macbook was running fine. I left it alone for 15 minutes and when I came back, it was running EXTREMELY slow and I couldn't get it to shutdown. So I did a hard shutdown (is that what it's called?) and I had to go to class thinking that maybe if I just left it alone for a few hours, I could turn it back on and everything would be fine. When I got back, I pressed the power button, heard the startup noise and got to the gray screen. And it stayed there.
    I let it sit for about 10 minutes hoping that it was just running really slowly and it still did nothing. So I tried it again and the same thing happened. I even tried it a third time and still no luck. I have taken GREAT care of it and I've never had a problem with it whatsoever! The only thing I have done the past few days was installed iTunes 8. I am a little upset because this is my first Mac and I have had it 13 months now (Which means it is out of warranty because I didn't extend my Applecare) I have not been able to try and restart it with the installer disk because it's at home. Does anybody know what could be wrong?

    The exact same thing happened to me but I may be able to add some more details to the process.
    First, I also installed the itunes upgrade. Turned on the computer, started up itunes and left it running.
    Then when I came back, the finder section of the desktop (apple icon and menus) was not there. First I tried to run the hardware check up (hold D while computer starts up) and it showed me no problems. So then I tried to reboot it and run the diskutility applications to see if it could identify the problem. The first time I ran the program, i got "Underlying Task Reported Failure on Exit".
    So I rebooted the computer and tried to get to the desktop again, only it didn't show the desktop anymore. It just got stuck on the gray screen with the apple and the spinning graphic. My apple CD is also stuck in the drive and I am also getting a bit desperate.
    Sadly, I can honestly say that it is not a hardware problem. This is a Mac Software problem that is in their hands to fix. I have a lot of information in that computer that I cannot afford to lose and I no longer have applecare, so fixing it through the appple store is going to be pretty expensive considering that it is just a software issue.
    Please, if you have any more suggestions, please let me know.

  • Stuck at grey startup screen with spinning grey wheel

    Hi, I have an i Mac but was having the same problem last week - getting stuck at the start up screen. I had no idea what to do but started a discussion and someone suggested the repair utility and it also told me everything was fine. Then she told me to do an Archive and Install and in the end that got everything working again. I don't know much about computers so I don't know if this will work for you, too, but it might be worth a shot.

    Reinstall OS X:
    Reinstall Snow Leopard without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.
    OR:

For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

  • Macbook Stuck at Blue Startup Screen

    I have a plain macbook, a little over a year old. It was running slow, so I restarted the laptop. When it restarted, the computer froze at the blue startup screen. On another forum, I read that Repairing the disk permission would help, I did that using the disk that came with the laptop, but I'm not sure what to do after that has been completed, I tried restarted once more, and the same problem occured, and I don't want to re-install snow leopard. Also I can't get the disk to eject either. Does anyone know how I could fix this problem?

    Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
    Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
    1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the left mouse button until the disc ejects.
    2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
    3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
    4. Press COMMAND-E.
    5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
      /usr/bin/drutil eject
    If this fails then try this:
    Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.

  • Macbook stuck at the startup screen

    Yesterday I was prompted to install updates on my macbook. After the updates were installed I was told to restart the computer. Once it restarted, it was stuck on the grey startup screen. I let it sit for hours because I thought it was loading. It never went past that screen so I shut it off. This morning I turned it back on and it is stuck at the same screen. What is wrong? and what should I do?

    Hi Justin,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Insert the first of the two disks that came with your Mac. Restart the computer while holding down the C key. This will boot off the DVD. When it's booted, choose "Disk Utility" from the menubar at the top of the screen. Select your hard disk in the left pane of the window and click the Repair button.
    After the repair process is complete, reboot the Mac normally and see if it starts up off your hard disk. If not, try booting in safe mode. To do so, hold down the Shift key as you turn the computer on and continue holding it until you see the spinning gear below the Apple logo. If the computer boots in safe mode, restart and see if it then boots normally.

    Have been using my T430 as usual this morning, all running fine...then...battery died while using it, so went to get the charger, now have plugged in and powered back on, and it will only get to the "ThinkPad" loading screen. It won't get to Windows.
    Note. it doesn't "freeze" at the ThinkPad screen, it keeps cycling through it, as if it's going to load or shutdown, but then it comes back to the ThinkPad screen, over and over again.
    Have updated the Lenovo Service Center this morning but that's all.
    I can press F10 and get into the Bios, but I don't know what to do to get it passed this boot up?
    I have no USBs plugged in and plugged nothing into it this morning while using it.
