i have a hp pavillion dv 1000
when i switch it on it turns on fine and shows the windows loading screen but then it tells me windows did not start sucessfully and gives me five of the following options
safe mode
safe mode with networking
safe mode with command prompt
last known good configuration
start windows normally

if i click enter anyone of them they all do the same thing the screen goes black for about two minutes and then a blue screen flashes up for about a second telling me something about an error and after this it reboots its self and this starts again

thanks

Please help. My Toshiba Qosmio G35-AV660 laptop won’t boot.

When I try to power up, the ac light comes on, but I don’t see anything happen with the hard drive. The screen is completely blank/black. I don’t hear anything happening with the hard drive, nor is the light for the hard drive coming on.

I had someone take a look at it, but he couldn’t figure out what was wrong. He said it was not a problem with the hard drive, power, video, or memory. Any ideas?

David Mickelson,
If the old cracked LCD screen still displays image correctly then there is something wrong with the new screen.

I just got a screen off of ebay that is suppose to be good but when I hooked it up the video is in three parts.It starts windows about 1/3 of the way up the screen in the middle of the screen running towards the right and comes in on the left side of the lcd towards the middle joining up where it started in the middle 1/3 of the way up the screen.Now the bottom 1/3 of the screen is where the screen started 1/3 of the way up and coming down to the 1/3 of the screen that is left from the other part starting 1/3 of the way up the screen.So the picture is divided into like three parts.I have never seen this before but is there something I can do to fix this?The lcd numbers where compatable when I bought it for mine so that should not be the problem.The inverter is good because the screen I took off worked good but it was cracked.The backlight is good because the video is good but it is in three sections.What can I do?The guy I bought it from claims it is good.I have double checked all the connections so all I can come up with is a bad lcd.Am I right?Thank You,Dave

Hi. I have a JVC laptop and dropped it off the sofa. It now has a color scrambled screen. I tried rebooting many times, but does not help. Any ideas what the problem could be?

Hi,

I have a gateway laptop that is giving me an odd problem. When I start the machine I see the splash screen with the gateway logo and then it progresses to the the windows login screen (I have XP Pro) and I enter the pwd and it proceeds. Then the screen goes “dotty” on me. I mean it gets all kinds of wierd patterns on the screen. Sometimes they are dots and dashes, some times they are vertical lines. sometime they are horizontal lines. Sometimes they are stationary lines and sometimes they are moving. This may not be that odd but what makes it weird is that if I have started the machine after a relatively long time of having kept it shutdown, the normal functioning screen remains long enough for me to logon. If I have tried it a few times then the moment I turn the computer on, splash screen with logo and then back to the weird things on the screen.

I also tried to boot in safe mode but got this error.

Media test failure. check cable
Exiting intel boot agent.

If this was the case then why did it boot up earlier? I am lost. Can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks

have a thinkpad 240x 500 mhz. problem with screen.
the screen is normal for about 1/3 of its length
(from left to right) and has about 2/3 of it totally
white. a monitor hooked up to the external connection works fine, normal screen. is it a bad cable? bad screen? or ? and do all the screens interchange between the 240 series? (240, 240x, 240z)
the ibm web site shows two different cables used, along with two different screen manafacturers, deending on the suffix of the model. but
i wonder if either screen will work if you repace
the whole thing. any help would be most appreciated.
thanks, adrian.

I replaced the 20g hard drive in a Sony PCG-F590 Laptop with a 120g drive. Bios did not recognize the new drive and I received the dreaded “Operating System Not Found”. So I reinstalled the original HD but it is not recognized in BIOS now either. Did the voltage requirement of the bigger drive hose my motherboard or is there any hope here?
