BIOS configured to boot from USB if available?

Ding Ding Ding!! Most new computers if you connect a USB device and try to start up will give you this error or something similar - and it will remain stuck on that screen. I've had ppl calling me frantically that they lost all their data when the entire issue was just a USB Flash Drive or SD Card that someone left in the computer.

I've had that happen to me before

I think it's almost time to make a wiki of the problems and what caused it

Ok here's a new one, got this last week from someone on ddf.
Laptop fell down. Tries to turn it on and nothing happens...

Lol, that sure could be a lot of problems.

DH Data Recovery · « **Reply #105 on:** February 13, 2013, 10:10:10 PM »

yes but the clue is - it doesn't turn on at all

Still a little vague

Maybe say a little diagnostics what was done, so this doesn't just come into a guessing game. (Unless that's the point)

I assume it also wasn't turning on even when plugged in (ruling out a battery issue)

So I would guess - issue with the power button / or some issue with the daughter board the power button is on.

Does the charging light go on when it is plugged in?

battery not fully inserted

Power button issue?

DH Data Recovery · « **Reply #110 on:** February 14, 2013, 09:20:48 AM »

Yup, @name changed. Cable fell out of the power button:)

Ok

I had this issue a few times, I always forgot what was causing it...

I have set up a ftp for accessing files. Port Forwarding was set up, and for some reason it worked perfectly on the local network, but when logging into thru the external IP address I was getting an error in the Browser that network error

NC - You don't need to forward any ports for it to work on the LAN.

Issue was off the LAN

NC - All I'm saying is, that the fact that it was working on the LAN shows there was a FWDing issue.

I assume it didn't prompt you for username and password?
