X230 has just died!

Hi I'm a x230 i5 w7 32bit owner and my one has just died! I love this laptop and its been faultless until last night.
I'm no computer boffin so please play nicley....
Here is what happend... the norton virus software got in a loop so when I press no as I didnt want to install unknown software it kept coming back. I swtiched user and it wasnt affecting the other acount, but go back into the admin acount I could get it out the loop until I press ok... install.... then everything closed and that was that. Doh
So when power on it comes up with the Lenovo screen then black screen with a small flashing curser in the corner. I cant start in safe mode with f8, I can hit f1 and f12 to choose boot options.
I have downloaded and writen a recovery (of the microsoft site) disk onto a usb with no luck, it starts then i can choose to boot from usb, somthings download but then it crashes at the end of the run comand instal line...
I then tryed removing the solid stated hard drive, that seemed to make things worse and seemed the optons when f1 is pressed are gone.
So I'm thinking maybe the optical hard drive is dead? from what was a virus of some sort? I dont know and I have no idea what my next step would be.
Thanks!

Hi Benypm,
I am glad to know that the issue has been resolved, and regarding the drivers issue please provide me the MTM number of the system which will be at the back of the system on white sticker.
And regarding the HDD space, I suggest you to perform the clean installation of Windows or you can use any 3rd party software to clean the disk space.
Please click here to perform disk cleanup option.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Hemanth Kumar

HT1661 My mid-2009 MacBook Pro has just died via a painful (for me) hard drive failure. I backed up a good percentage of files recently but not enough to keep me happy. I need to access the dead drive on the MBP via a 2008 iMac. Best options?

My mid-2009 MacBook Pro has just died via a painful (for me) hard drive failure. I backed up a good percentage of files recently but not enough to keep me happy. I need to access the dead drive on the MBP via a 2008 iMac. Best options?
I have ordered a 800 firewire to 800 firewire cable and am hoping to use the target mode option to copy files from the MBP.
Is this possible?
Hope so!
Any advice and or help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Neil

Thanks Ogelthorpe.
Just bought an enclosure to try that also.
Hoping the MBP isn't really dead but just feigning death
Fingers crossed.

PC has just died, so have ordered an mbp. Will word transfer, or do I have to buy word for Mac????

Hi.
My PC has finally died.......
Excitingly, have ordered a MBP.
My question is, will word documents transfer, or do I need to buy word for windows.
Nothing serious, just letters, invoices etc.
THANK YOU.

If you're accustomed to working with MS Office, you can purchase Office for Mac 2011 and your documents will open fine - albeit if different fonts were used there may be some reflow problems.
Before buying Office for Mac, you may want to try out two free alternatives - LibreOffice or OpenOffice. I don't use them as I use Office for Mac but either should be able to open your Word documents.

My iPhone 3GS has just died

I was listening to music on the iPod app when the phone just died. It had around 80% of battery as well so it's not that. I've tried resetting (holding down home and on/off button) but no luck. Any suggestions?

The iOs 5.1 is a huge file that needs to be dowloaded when updating/restoring, your phone hasnt completed the update so its now in recovery mode. Look on the left of itunes, it should say downloads under the store section with a spinning wheel, click that and youll see the update file with a time remaining, wait for that download to finish then try the restore again and it should work

Blackberry Z10 has just died!

My Z10 phone just decided to die yesterday. I can't get it to switch on. The screen is completely blank. The only sign of life is that the red light comes on for a short period of time after I connect to my PC.
However, my PC does not pick up the phone - it's as if it is just not there. I desperately need access as my calendar is on this phone. Can anyone help, please?

It has for others I've helped... not all but many.
So, rather than a battery pull, the next time hold down the up and down volume key about 30 seconds. What happens?
Next time press the upper edge power button for 20-30 seconds... anything?
And next, press ALL three: Volume up and down, and the top edge power key about 20-30 seconds.. anything?
On each of these, do it while connected to the OEM wall outlet charger.

My BB has just Died - Please Help.. what can I do

I have a blackberry curve 8520, for no reason it died.
I tried to turn back on but nothing;
I swapped over to another battery - I was able to get a red light and the blackberry screen flashed up but then disappeared then reappeared as if it was loading and then died.
I tried again with the power cable plugged in and the new charge battery and nothing.
The phone has not been dropped, in water, electric shocked
I m totally amazed, its 8 months old brought as a pay as you go.
Is there anyway I can get this fixed or what could be the problem

Satellite Pro P300 has just died on me

Hi,
Yesterday my Satellite Pro P300 (PSPC1E) simply died on me...no battery charging lights nothing. Nothing happens when I press the ON button it is DEAD.
The battery was ok last time used, the adapter is still giving me nearly 20volts.
I took the laptop apart to check the DC in connector, thats ok.
I assume after some research its a motherboard fault. Typically my warranty ran out 2 months ago!!
Cost of a new replacement motherboard so far quoted is 180, not too eager to spend that as I have a tax bill to pay at the end of this month!
Any ideas to what the problem could be?
I have found a mobo on eBay which is a p300-1a8 going for a song but would that be compatible?
What are all the variations in the motherboards?
Would any other motherboard be compatible?
Any ideas, suggestions would be much appreciated and I thank anyone in advance for any ideas.
Cheers
Steve

Yes and no.
You can also imagine that different P300 notebooks have also different ports. Some of them have HDMI some probably not. There is also the difference.
Different ports, different processor or different graphic card. Maybe some models don't have even webcam and missing controller on motherboard.
So, if you want to have identical hardware configuration please be sure you use motherboard with the same model number.

Ahh! My power adapter has just died!

It was plugged into a powerboard, I unplugged it to move to another room, plugged inot another powerpoint and it's now not working on any powerpoint. No light, no lights on the battery, no symbol, nothing...
Any tricks? I can't afford a new powerpack! I've only got about an hour and a half left of power...

Hooray! It's ok, it's working again. I just unplugged the cord from the actual adapter, blew into the socket and tried again. Must have been some dust in there or soemthing!

Heartbroken, my 3 week old imac 21.5 i3 has just died!! Help anyone

Tonight whilst working in Logic 8 my 3 week old imac i3 21.5 just powered off instantly. Not a proper shut down, just like someone flicked of the power supply. Now there is no life at all. I have swapped power cables and and plug sockets, tried the holding in the power button reset. There is no indication of any power from the imac. Totaly dead. Any suggections before I call Apple on Monday morning?

First thing to do, is plug it in, and then move the system to the edge of the desk/table/whatever. Tilt it up as far as you can. Then look in the little grille on the bottom, and see if you can find any green lights. I believe on the 21" model they should be on the right side, but check both sides. They can be a little difficult to find, even if you know what you're looking for. They're usually pretty close to the little cover for the RAM slots, and sometimes you have to look at just the right angle because of the nature of the holes in the grille.
If you see one light, that means that the PSU is almost certainly good. You're getting "trickle" power. Now, while still looking at that green light, press the power button, and see if you see a second light turn on. If not, then you're not getting communication between the PSU and logic board, and it's PROBABLY the logic board that went out, though these issues can be difficult to pin down. Sometimes everything points to the PSU but it's really the logic board, other times it's the other way around.
Either way, you're better off taking it somewhere than calling, unless you call just to set up an appointment somewhere. Since the SMC reset didn't do it, it's a hardware failure and they're going to have to swap something out.
The good news, however, is that the data on your drive is almost certainly still there, and when you get the system back you'll be able to pick up right where you left off.

Timemachine doesn't show external drive (that has now died)

Hi, I've had timemachine backing up my HD and two external firewire drives (one with my 11gb iphoto library on it).
If I open the timemachine generated Backups.backupdb folder in the finder, the contents of the 3 drives are all there in separate folders. Fine.
One of the external drives has just died, so I want to restore my iphoto library (i.e. move it from timemachine to the other external drive).
But when I enter timemachine, the dead drive doesn't show up.
If I try to copy the file I want to restore via the finder, it says it will take 450 hours!
What can I do?

Do NOT copy the folder via the Finder.

Nokia 1020 Just died

Hello.
My 1020 is like 8 month old. Just a few minutes ago it just went dead. Was texting and nothing big. It turned off and said Good by (Hej då in Swedish). Now it won't turn on. The powerbutton and volume button won't work. If i put a chardger in or my cameragrip the home button just flashes every 3 second. The phone was having batteri before it went dead.
Is there anything i can do?
The computer won't recognice a devic soo i can't se the phone. It is 100% Dead.
I guess it is just to send the **bleep** back and get it fixed. I won't pay for a fault that it from the manufacier.
//Martin
