Thinkpad t23 black screen (fan and lights on) no bios?
My thinkpad t23 wouldn't boot up unless I applied pressure to a part of the keyboard on top of the fan of the pc I took the keyboard off and opened it up so I could see everything then I unscrewed the screw on the socket next to the CPU and unlocked it and pulled out the CPU upon close inspection I touched the thermal compound and it was VERY dry it was sticky but VERY dry and I looked at the thermal compound under the fan and I wondered if pressing the keyboard down that was on top of the fan pressed the dry compound down onto the CPU and made it work until I took my hand off of the keyboard. I know this is confusing but I basically pressed the keyboard down hard just to get the computer to boot and when I took my hand off the screen went black, when I wouldn't press it down at all I got a black screen (backlight was on but no picture) and 1 green light was on. And I could hear the fan speed up and slow down again and again. I would like to know if my CPU is failing. It's a thinkpad t23 has windows 7 it is equipped with a sluggish 1 gigahertz mobile processor. Any help would be appreciated. I took the CPU out and I won't put it back in until I add fresh thermal compound to it I also tested the CMOS battery to see if that could be the problem but alas I have given up. This guy is having same problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eY6HoStH7U
My laptop has suddenly started doing this strange thing where the screen gets covered in static (like TV static). Does anyone know what this is a symptom of?
Before u start checking the mobo and display, try a simple step to eliminate RAM issues. As a faulty RAM can to display similar traits. And RAM is comparatively simpler to check. Open the laptop bottom case and remove both RAM modules. Then put one back in the first slot and try to replicate the issue. Then try it with the second slot. And then try the other RAM on both slots individually. This will help you eliminate RAM issues.Once you have eliminated RAM issues, try eliminating display. Connect you laptop to an external monitor or TV and try to replicate the issue. If it works fine on external display, it's an issue with the display or connection. Else, motherboard.
Create Windows 7 repair disk on Mac?
The first link below is to the Windows 7 downloadable links. The second link is for the instructions on how to make a bootable Windows 7 disk on a Mac with the result. Read this page very carefully, as it is a forum page with many suggestions. The instructions below are from about 3/4 the way down the page. The third link is to an .iso burner in case you need one. The easiest way to burn a disk on a Mac is: 1.Insert a blank disc. 2.Start Disk Utility (Finder > Applications > Utilities). 3.From the File menu, choose Open Disk Image and select the ISO to be burned. 4.In the list of volumes, you will now see an item representing the ISO file. Select it. 5.Click the Burn button and follow the instructions. I have seen more complicated instructions online that include the following: If you need to burn a bootable disk (or one with hidden sectors like say a Windows install disk), replace the command: $ dd if=/dev/disk1 of=file.iso bs=2048 With $ dd if=/dev/disk1s0 of=file.iso bs=2048 I've never had this fail on me. But be warned, you can hose a lot with the dd command.

My Asus X54L won't boot completely.?
Sounds like your BIOS may be encountering an issue attempting to identify installed hardware, most likely the hard drive, this is how you can find out. Take out the hard drive (while it is off of coarse) it should be really easy, usually removing two screws a latch will open on the bottom giving you access to the hard drive. The section or latch under which the hard drive is installed will usually have a symbol of stacked disks. After removing the hard drive power on the laptop, if it starts up quickly and gets past the logo screen then shows a message like "operating system is missing" or "no storage device found", oyu will know immediately that the hard drive is causing the BIOS initial start up to hang. If that doesnt work next step is to test the memory by removing it and putting in another working chip. But I am almost certain the HDD is at fault here as I have seen this many times. The hard drive may have become faulty form a firmware failure, this is common with seagate hard drives, its possible to fix but first you must determine for sure it is the problem. Please try this because I know it will save you tons of time and heart ache.
Laptop/pc shows a blue screen and says it needs recovery?
When I saw that one file referenced on that screen... avgloga.sys.... I got the distinct impression that your problem is one of an infected machine. As in... multiple infections. As in... your copy of AVG antivirus is screwed up. You attempted to fix the Winsock stack, but that wasn't the real problem. And now, the AV suite is screwed as well.You can try the F8 startup settings, and attempt to boot into Safe mode... and attempt to clean the system. Removing AVG might also allow the system to boot normally... which would allow you to back up your important files.Once you've got everything backed up, you can try to clean the system with a number of tools (AdwCleaner, RogueKiller, Junkware Removal Tool, ComboFix, RKill to start with) or you can hold the shift key down, tell the system to Restart, and choose to Reset the system when the Blue troubleshooting menu comes up. That will essentially perform a factory recovery... overkill, but the easiest solution.But yeah.... your system has a number of processes running that shouldn't be... malware. Your AVG settings have been altered or compromised, and one or more files necessary at boot have been corrupted.That's my two cents anyway.
How can I troubleshoot a white screen on an Acer laptop?
From what I have read, this problem is either due to the power saving settings of the laptop being set to hibernate, or a lose cable inside the laptop’s display.Option 1:To fix the power aspect, you need to be able to get into Windows, so if that isn’t working, I would suggest powering off, removing the battery, and holding the power button in for 5–10 seconds to release any residual charge. Then leave the battery disconnected, connect the power lead and see if it turns on.If you still experience the same problem, try Option 2 - see further below.If it does power on ok, go into Control Panel, and search for power options. If you are on Windows 10, click the search box beside the Windows start button, and type in “edit power plan,” then, look at the power plan you are currently on, and disable any sleep/hibernation options that are set.If you want to disable hibernation completely, click Change advanced power settings then in the Sleep section, set all options to Never.Then power off the computer, reattach the battery and power on as normal.If this fixes the problem great, if not try the option below.Option 2:This fix is a bit complicated, as it requires a screw driver, and a piece of thin but rigid plastic similar to a credit card or a guitar pick, to open your laptop screen and reconnect the cable. It seems to be a common problem, given the number of YouTube videos on this topic.
