| 1276513 | 2012-05-21 08:15:00 | Hi guys.Trying to fix a friends laptop but I can't even get past the Bios screen,it just hangs.Pressing F2,F8,F12 do absolutly nothing.I cannot access the Bios at all. It is a Toshiba L650. I have taken the hard drive out and connected it to my pc and everything is still there.Any ideas? |

| 1276514 | 2012-05-21 08:38:00 | Does it tell you what key to press on the post screen?? Most do. Try F10, F1, or Esc | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1276515 | 2012-05-21 08:47:00 | It says on the bios screen.I took out battery and held down power button for a min,powered with AC only and it booted.Now I have black screen with spinning orb thing. Will try it again and hopefully get into safe mode. |

| 1276516 | 2012-05-21 08:48:00 | I can get into Bios now | sk69ersnz (13476) | ||
| 1276517 | 2012-05-21 09:32:00 | In safe mode it takes about 4 to 5 minutes to boot and in normal mode it's been over 15 minutes and still going. | sk69ersnz (13476) | ||

| 1276519 | 2012-05-21 09:59:00 | I'll let check disk do it's thing then I will | sk69ersnz (13476) | ||
| 1276520 | 2012-05-21 10:09:00 | Or if its on the net, install teamviewer on it. And I'll have a look and see whats in startup | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1276521 | 2012-05-21 10:16:00 | Might have to do the log tomorrow Speedy.Stage 4 of 5 and at 10% with 5 bad clusters.At this rate it will take all night. | sk69ersnz (13476) | ||
| 1276522 | 2012-05-21 10:21:00 | That maybe the cause then. It maybe time to replace the hdd. Or a reformat | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
