Dropped laptop off of couch onto floor apprx 18in. Computer locked up. unplugged and removed battery for five to ten minutes. started to boot and gives me "Windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. This error can be caused by unplugging a removable storage device such as and external usb drive while device is in use. (Don't own external device) or by faulty hardware such as a hard drive or cd rom that is failing. Make sure any removable storage is properly connected and then restart. If you continue to receive this error message, contact the hardware manufacturer. Status: 0xc0000e9 Info: An unexprected I/O error has occured." Already reseated hard drive. Soooo....

You can reset and eliminate the lock on some televisions without the remote, using a few tactics. Hold the power button for five seconds. The television will automatically restart. If the lock is still on, unplug the television and remove the battery from the back panel of the television.

Hi there,

First please try to boot to last known good configuration ..

To load the last known good configuration in Windows 2000 / XP reboot the computer and as it's booting booting press and hold your "F8 Key" which should bring up the "Windows Advanced Options Menu" as shown below. Use your arrow keys to move to "Last Known Good Configuration" and press your Enter key. .

If you will still see the same problem, then please boot to safe mode..

To get into the Windows 2000 / XP Safe mode, as the computer is booting press and hold your "F8 Key" which should bring up the "Windows Advanced Options Menu" as shown below. Use your arrow keys to move to "Safe Mode" and press your Enter key.

From safe mode you can restore your PC to the latest restore point when your laptop is working fine.

Regards,

Locked up screen?? Shut down with button, pull the battery. After five or ten minutes reinstall the battery, Push start button. Screen will say window shut down unexpectedly and ask for start command. Start in safe mode and prompts should come up about your problem and ask you to send a report to microsoft. Do that and follow the prompts. I hope that helps.

Try unplugging the laptop. Then once you've unplugged the laptop remove the battery. With the laptop unplugged and battery removed, hold the power button for 10 seconds. Replace the battery and the power cord and see if the computer boots.

try a simple reset first. just drop the charger into the base and watch the charger light. when it flickers that has reset it. if that does not work try resetting the handset by removing the battery for about ten minutes. remember to drop it into the base after you have put the battery back in to sync it with the base. if neither of those methods work which they should... unplug the base for about ten minutes.... make sure you also unplug the phone line as well. after it has reset plug it all back in and place the handset into the base again for a few seconds

turn system off remove battery...leave alone for ten minutes...have a cup of tea...

turn system on ..leave battery out use mains only.

boot up ..then turn off properly..

now insert battery and happy days.
boot up

Unplug it, remove the battery, count to ten, put the battery back in, plug it back in, and try booting again.

Is there a pin-hole on the bottom of your PC that says "reset" by it?

Has your PC been dropped or anything that may have caused physical damage?

here is the manual if you don't already have it

resetting that is apparently just a case of removing the batteries and adaptor (if you are using one) wait five or ten minutes... reconnect the adaptor or install the batteries and turn it on

it may be the bios.... remove the bios battery for at least ten minutes... make sure the main battery is removed
so there is NO power to the laptop for about ten minutes
.... after you reinstall the bios battery and put the main battery back in and plug in the external power.... boot it up again.

Same problem here with my wife's Asus laptop. Called Asus and they said to unplug charger, remove the battery in the back, hold down the power button for 10 seconds. Then, replace battery, then charger, then press the power button and wait for startup. First time it got stuck at the windows loading bar screen for like 5 min. which is abnormal. Did a hard power down (press and hold power button til it shuts off) then restarted again. That time it worked and all is well so far. Could have been due to a static charge as she was on our couch with our dog backing up movies so charge might have entered through the CD/DVD drive opening. (?) Not sure, but if you are sitting on a static-prone couch with your laptop its probably best to sit on top of a bounce sheet.
