    Its fun to watch someone else do the kind of work that I used to do before I retired. Don't get many repairs besides my own so it's very informative watching your approach to fixing PC issues that no longer pass my way. It sort of keeps me in touch with what's happening.

    Yes, it should work, never hurts to try.
    Yes, we are going to do more work on the Pi. We are currently working on a pan and tilt camera system using the Raspberry Pi. We will be discussing all the details soon.

    Hey GuruBrew. You really know your stuff. I have a question on My Lenovo T420 Thinkpad.
    The laptop powers on fine. The windows 7 display comes on and then the screen goes blank. If I plug into an external monitor both screens display fine. ( Laptop screen comes on ) . I ran a Startup test pressing the F1 Key and when the BIOs screen came on the monitor worked on its own as well without the external monitor. I'm Stumped. Any suggestions.
    Thanks and keep the great tutorials coming.

    I have thinkpad T61 and I'm not able to run the recovery. After hitting the thinkvantage button all I get is: ESC to resume normal startup. F1 to enter bios and F12 to choose a temporary startup.

    I have a think pad like this but it turns on then 2 seconds later it turns back off. It wont come on is this a power cord issue or something else, I don't know what to do I'm stuck can you help.

    Hi Steve. I dropped my Lenovo T410. (Gah!) Using ideas from this video, I was able to use the blue Thinkvantage button to get to the Startup Interrupt Menu. I tried F11 and the repair option seemed to get a bit farther, but I still eventually get the same 0xc00000e9 error. Would it help to try the F12 option? It takes me to a screen where I can boot from 3 different devices but I don't know if I should try that. Good idea or bad idea?

    Hi im having lenova ideapad. Im also having a startup problem, for my case when I on my computer it automatically goes to the startup repair. Unfortunately no problem gets detected, and it shows messages like "contact system admin / computer manufacturer for repair" now my question is, if I press the recovery button, will I lose my data's stored? or is there any shortcuts to save my com?

    Thank you very much for the video, I have my lenovo T500 which does not start anymore as before and remains blocked on
    the first start page setup, I tried everything to get it to work with no success.
    Now I want to flash the eeprom P24s08 memory because it is blocked, but I cannot find the bios
    factory other than that offered by Lenovo support.
    Can you help me get this copy from another T500 if possible or direct me to a site ....
    Thank you in advance.

    I have a thinkpad t420 with windows 10 and I forgot to close it all the way and it died I charged it and tried to turn it on and it said starting automatic repair then I waited 20 minutes then it said that it’s repairing disk errors might take more than an hour and I waited like 4 hours on the charger and let it sit there and it hasn’t started yet i don’t know why this is happening could you possibly help because I’ve tried to find fixes for this but all of the ones I’ve tried haven’t worked.

      Possible causes for this if computer is still working are the screen inverter or LCD/Florescent Tubes in the LCD.

    My ibm t500 would not boot after a severe lightning storm. It was not plugged in to any wall sockets, and it worked fine during the storm. But after turning it off and restarting it, all it can do is boot to a blinking cursor, and the little hard drive light blinks a few times before stopping. How do I fix?

    Hi Steve,
    I have an IBM ThinkPad with Rescue and Recovery 3. I'm trying to restore the factory settings due to the fact when I power the system up it goes into safe mode and regardless of your seletion, it then proceeds to a blue screen and just cycles between the two. Now when I go to Rescue and Recovery, the recovery seems to stall between 4 and 20 minutes of running as it's processing 3GGEM1A0.IMZ and then returns once again to the blue screen. Any ideas or additional workarounds?

    You can get some Antivirus programs loaded on a USB Flash Drive or install the ISO on a CD, pop in the CD and boot from the CD and it will scan a computers hard drive for viruses without loading up the Operating System. Good way to check a PC where a virus might be the cause of any booting issues.

    I have a T61 that looks nearly identicle and I should point out the stupid Vista sticker doesn't tell you anything except that's what it came with from the factory. It doesn't mean Vista is currently installed so I don't know why you're using that as a reference.
    Moving along.. You didn't even boot in safe mode? Why are you running a recovery before attempting less invasive things first? The windows reinstall function is a last resort.
    If the slow boot was due to a hard drive failing, you're wasting a lot of time. Try safe mode first - if the computer is still booting slow in safe mode or still runs like crap while running in safe mode, the hard drive is fuct.
    If it runs fine, you can start cleaning it properly instead of wiping it essentially and losing the user's personal settings, themes, etc. This video bothers me and so does the amount of people asking for help. There's a reason why 80% of computer "techs" botch up and screw people. Let's go back to basics.
