    Solved! Keep getting "SD Card Missing" Alerts

    I've been getting these messages intermittently for a few months but they always went away so I didn't worry about it. At one point I took it into my provider's shop (Boost) to have them take a look at it. Predictably they said I needed a new phone. They did take it out and look at it, but they...

    Dell Latitude E5510 Can't boot from USB or DVD Drives

    Thanks RARRAF, sorry for the delay in getting back to you about this issue. I downloaded a fresh ISO from getintopc.com and used RUFUS to create- a- fresh stick and it worked fine. I think I had used it so much that it had become corrupted. Thanks, Jim

    Dell Latitude E5510 Can't boot from USB or DVD Drives

    I have a bad hard drive on this machine so I'm trying to boot from a Win 10 PE ISO USB or DVD. When it boots it says to hit F12 for boot options. It brings up a nice menu of boot devices which in the Legacy section includes the USB drive and the DVD drive. If I choose the USB option, it just...

    Samsung NP-QX411 - All I can get is a blue screen (not BSOD)

    I finally lost my patience and stopped the process. I then had access to the new bios but it wouldn't boot into Windows 7. I could then boot from the USB drive so I re-installed Windows 7 to the hard drive from the USB. Everything is working fine now. And I just acquired another laptop with the...

The only problem now is that I can't get into the bios. None of the F keys do anything except take you to the boot manager. I woulde like to...

    How to replace the CMOS battery in a Samsung QX411?

    Thanks mcnumpty23, unfortunately in this case the CMOS battery is not under that cover, just the HDD and memory. This is a model of Samsung that has a sealed main battery and I think the difficulty in removing the case cover is related to that. I have removed every screw that I see, and the ODD...
