(Now I can continue on fixing some of its other problems). I'm sure you can provide a more precise and technical answer as to the process, but the device is working again - so I'm happy. Success!!! This apparently dumped the information that was preventing a restart and alowed it to start from the beginning. A faulty display: If there is something wrong with the display, it could cause it to stop showing the picture. When you have your video ready to share, use the Share menu to save the video or send it to the web. I then went back through the setup again, reset the date and time, fixed a 'seeking floppy drive' error and restarted. Hardware errors: If the hardware components or peripherals such as keyboards, mice, and cables are worn out, they could cause the screen not to display. Now perform whatever screen actions you want to capture.

One way to solve the problem was apparently to use a PS/2 keyboard to get into the boot menu but I have a USB keyboard and no access to a PS/2 board, so I still had no way to change anything.īut finally resolved it by opening the case and unplugging the CMOS battery for a few seconds. Click the Start Recording button or use the Win + Alt + R keyboard shortcut to capture your screen activity. But I'm not going to use Standby for extended periods of time to minimise the chance of a recurrence. Thanks for your suggestions.Īs you ponted out, the Loader screen may have been caused by a power fasilure but I'm unaware of a recent one so am still not sure of the initiating even.
