U430 stucked at Lenovo screen, BIOS won't start either

Hi, I have IdeaPad u430 touch, six monts old. I had some blue screens in the past, I cleaned all possible viruses and diagnosed hard disc with no results. Laptop was running smooth until now.
I shut it down last night and today it restarted itself couple times and then I wasn't able to start it at all. It gets stuck at Lenovo screen, no Windows loading circle/dots.., I can't access BIOS or anything else through the novo button, it just gives me the Lenovo screen again. F2 does not work either.
I also noticed that when I tried to install updates it wouldn't do anything just spinned the Windows buisy icon for a while, if that can be any clue.
I haven't removed the battery yet, as it is under cover which needs to be unscrewed. The computer is still under warranty. I'm not sure if opening the cover wouldn't viod the warranty. I'm not impressed, my boyfriends IdeaPad has been good for six years
Any suggestions on how to boot the computer again or what's wrong with it? I'm totally done today, tomorrow I'm calling support, but I'm not sure how they can be helpful, if the computer won't boot at all...

When I touch the email icon there is a draft email stuck on the screen that won't go away if I delete or save it. I've already tried deleting and resetting the email account which didn't work. How do I get rid of it?

I have the new iPad 3 and every time I touch the email icon there is a draft message stuck on the screen that won't disappear even if I touch save or delete. I've tried removing the email account and putting it back on which didn't work either. How do I get this draft to disappear?

Reboot 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 - let go of the buttons.
Or Quit the mail app.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button.
Go back to mail and see if it is fixed.

Screen saver won't start since Lion upgrade. Two different machines, same issue.

Screen saver won't start since Lion upgrade. Two different machines, same issue. Help

For anyone following this thread, I've found a solution to my problem. Turns out that a cute widget called FishTank appears to be the culprit. With it running in Dashboard (even when I don't see Dashboard) the Screensaver and Sleep functions don't work. I turned it off, not because I'm clever, just because I tired of it, and voilà, Screensaver and Sleep are now working. It can stay in my widgets list without any problem, it just can't be turned on. I'm going to delete it anyway, however.
Hope this points the way to solutions for some of the rest of you!
Cheers!

My ipad has a black screen and won't start, any ideas?

My Ipad 1 has a black screen and won't start, any ideas? It is charged.

If Paul's advice doesn't work try this.
Hold down on the sleep button AND the home button at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart.
BTW ...In order to start up under normal circumstances you only need to hold down on the sleep button for a couple of seconds or so until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

G500 stuck on lenovo screen

my G500 is stuck on the lenovo screen. i have read the forums and tried the solution of flee-power and did not work, and then i tried resetting the BIOS and did not work. Then I reset windows and my computer factory settings, and it still did not work.I don't understand what is wrong. It seems as if this is a problem with the G500 that other people have faced as well and your solutions don't seem to work.

Have you attempted to boot from an external source (live DVD or Flash Drive)? If you have access to another computer you can download and create a "Live CD or Live DVD" of Linux to see if the system will boot successfully. If that does not work and you are still unable to move past the Lenovo screen it may be a hardware error or the BIOS has become corrrupted. Either of those options will require Lenovo Service Center to fix.

Startup stuck at Lenovo screen

Hi
I am having startup problem with my Lenovo G500.
I closed the lid after using the laptop with power cable connected. After 3 or 4 hours I just picked up the laptop and put it in the bag for traveling. After 12 hours when I took it out it was too hot.
I tried to switch it on but it stuck on Lenovo startup screen. Then I removed HDD and started again, It showed error of no bootable device. Then I connected HDD and started it worked fine for few days.
Now again same problem of startup screen.
I've done power flee procedure as well but of no use now.
Can anybody please guide me what's the suspected problem in the laptop?
Regards
Nasir

hi nasirraza2009,
Welcome to the Forums.
When the machine gets stucked on the lenovo logo, can you boot into the BIOS (by pressing F2 or Fn+F2) and check if the HDD is detected
- Link to picture
In addition, If the machine boots again into Windows again, to un a diagnostic on the HDD to verify its health.
- Lenovo Storage Test or
- HD Tune.
- http://www.hdtune.com/faq_1.html
If you're unable to run a diagnostic on the drive then I recommend you contact lenovo and report the problem as there's likely an issue on the HDD / HDD's connection to the motherboard (or other internal component).

K1 stuck on "Lenovo" screen.

Happy IBM and Lenovo user here but having an issue with my parents new K1. I got them set up last night with their new tablet which they loved! Issue is its stuck on the black backround with the "Lenovo" screen. I asked what they might have done but they obviously don't have any idea what they did. Tried holding down the power button from 1-10 seconds as well as holding down the power and volume buttons at the same time with no change. Is pull the battery but the back cover doesn't look like it wants to be taken off.
Thanks,
Grant

@GrantB,
Try holding the power button for more than 10 secs and see if it helps. It happened to mine before but I was able to force it to shut off then turn it back on then it worked again.
If problem persist, send it to service.

Premiere will freeze at loading screen and won't start. Running win7 64bit

Hi, I'm having a bit of a problem here.
I just recently upgraded to CC because I had this issue with the CS 6 versions.
The problem:
Premiere Pro, inDesign, Illustrator and After Effects won't start. They will all get stuck at the loading screen. The weird thing is that Photoshop and Lightroom work without any problems.
I've tried restarting, completely wiping all Adobe Software with the cleaner tool and reinstalling. I've contacted support via chat and the couldn't find a fix. I then looked for weird processes in the task manager and found out that after a while (2-5 minutes) of letting Premiere show a blank loading screen (no "Loading ..." / "Initialising..." etc), suddenly "Loading ImporterPhotoshopProxy.prm" will appear and a process called "PhotoshopServer.exe" will show up in the task manager. If I kill this process then Premiere will start.
Has anyone had similar problems? Can't find anything on Google.
Thanks in advance.

If you had problems with CS6 upgrading to CC or CC2014 will not solve your problems. You must have basic hardware/software problems that only will get worse going to more complex versions. Do you have any third party codec pack installed? You must have rogue processes running. When you start up your system how many processes are running, look at your task manager?
What is your hardware configuration?

BIOS won't start - MSI GS70 Stealth

Hi,
I have a GS70 but since I tried to update the bios (in the bios utility), the bios won't startup anymore. When I press 'del' during setup the screen goes black with a '-' on the screen. However windows does startup correctly when not entering bios mode.
I tried to do a flash through the DOS prompt with the following command 'afuwinx64 E1771IMS.E50' (I have the non raid version) to try to restore the problem but this didn't fix it.
I hope someone has a fix for this problem.
Sincerely,
Jochem

Just solved the problem thank you darkhawk.
If anyone has the same problem, here is what I did.
- Prepared a MSI HQ memory stick
- Since I couldn't boot from USB anymore I pressed F3 during bootup
- Then in the menu go to dos-prompt
- go to memory stick
- type flashwin64.bat
- after update hold power for 4 sec
- Disconnect power cable
- hold reset button for 5 minutes (since you can't remove the battery very easily on the GS70)
- insert power cable
- boot up
thank you.
You shouldn't need to hold reset for 5 minutes, but holding it for 20 to 30 seconds should be sufficient. Needless to say, I'm glad you got the issue fixed.

Screen saver won't start

Just upgraded to 10.4.7 and my hot corners won't start the screen saver.
Checked the Security pref pane and all is properly checked. Then again, I changed nothing after installing the 10.4.7 update.
Now I can't start the screen saver with a hot corner. I even made two corners a hot corner.

Hi, Patrick.
1. Are you using a third-party mouse? If so, and you installed associated, vendor-provided software to configure the mouse, check for updates to such.
2. Is this one of the Apple-provided screen savers or a third-party screen saver? If non-Apple, test with an Apple-provided screen saver.
3. Does the screen saver start normally otherwise, i.e. after a period of inactivity?
4. Preferences for hot corners for Dashboard, Exposé, and Screen Saver are saved in the Dock's preferences, i.e. the file com.apple.dock.plist in your Home > Library > Preferences folder. These may be corrupted.1. Take a screen shot of your Dock. This is so you know how your Dock was set up before performing the next steps, as these will reset the Dock to its default configuraiton.
2. Trash the Dock preferences: com.apple.dock.plist in your Home > Library > Preferences folder.
3. Do one of the following:
• Log out, then either log back in.
• Restart your Mac, then log back in to your account.
• Quit and relaunch the Dock:a. Launch Activity Monitor.
b. Sort the list of processes in ascending order by name by clicking on the Process Name column heading.
c. Select the Dock process in the Process List.
d. Click Quit Process in the Activity Monitor toolbar.
e. Confirm your intent to quit the Dock process.
The Dock process relaunches automatically with the Dock in its default configuration.4. Reconfigure your Dock as it was using the screen shot from step 1.
5. Use System Preferences > Dock to reset your Dock preferences for Minimize, Magnification, etc.Note: If you are running any Dock "hacks" or "add ons" you might want to disable or delete these as these can contribute to Dock-related problems, such as issues with Hot Corners.
Good luck!

MacBook Pro checkered screen? Won't start up??

Yesterday I was using my MacBook Pro and then all of a sudden the screen randomly got covered in this checkered pattern and it was flickering so I shut off the computer and now it won't start up it goes to the gray apple screen and the icon will spin for about 40 seconds then stop and it stays like that. There is a little checkering over the gray apple screen to. I've tried starting up in safe mode, resetting prvm, holding option and s, none of it worked it just kept going to the same screen and not starting up. Can anyone please help?! Is it completely cooked? What's causing this? I don't mind having to reset the whole hard drive if it comes down to that but will that fix anything? Please help....thanks!

I'll give my honest opinion, rather than a sales line.
1. MBPs with larger monitors are more highly correlated with logic/graphics board problems.
2. As the link suggests, no MBP can guarantee that you won't end up with a logic board problem down the road. However, 13" models have a good track record.
3. Any MBP user should be aware of the problems associated with heat. The temperature should be consitently lower than 145F, and never higher than around 170F at any time. Longterm gaming or using your MB on your lap are bad ideas.
Any MBP that's kept at 210F will end up with a logic board problem eventually. Solder connections loosen with higher temperatures, and the MB logic/graphics board is soldered in.
Updates are imminent for current MBPs - wait for those. http://buyersguide.macrumors.com
