    Re: operating system not found

    A bit more info would be helpful. This can be just about any of quite a few things.

    * Your bios for some reason is set to boot from anything but the hard drive where your OS resides.
    * You accidentally left a floppy or cd (or even usb pen) in drive and the computer tries to boot it.
    * Something has gone wrong with the content of your hard drive.
    * Physical error of your hard drive.

    There is a few more things that can go wrong, like random hardware failures and stuff but i would suggest you check the easy ones first.

      Check your hard drive cable and double check both ends are fully seated. SATA cables are notorious for coming loose if they don't have the metal locking tabs.
      Stupidity should be a crime, especially for drivers. I have NO patience for them.

        1. On system information its uefi not bios/legacy
        2. Advanced restart but there's no uefi setting
        3. Try to reinstall my pc using fdd but cannot enter boot selection
        4. Press f2 f8 f10 only beep but straight into boot

        Huawei D15 no power found corrosion damage
        by B2L_Repairs
        I got a huawei D15 that came in for no power repair. Device charges , charging led flashedms but doesn't turn on. I found corrosion on an IC (ic name is BDJCY1...I can't find out much info about it online). I removed this ic and two pads are corroded but they can be repaired. To my knowledge inductors never short to ground (i might be wrong and please those that are more knowledgeable than me can correct me). I found few inductors short to ground when my multimeter is in beep mode ,indicating a short in the line of those inductors...but I don't know how to go about to find the shorted component...

        Hofmann geodyna 6300 Wheel balancer
        by Grouickman
        Hi there,

        First, I'm not sure it's the right section to post for this type of device, but could not think of something better.

        Ok, so my son (a mechanic) bought a faulty Hofmann Geodyna 6300 wheel balancer (which appears to be mostly a re-branded Snap-on wheel balancer).

        I'm looking for any resources (doc, manuals, schematics) that would be available for this device or anyone that would have any knowledge on this particular device (or its Snap-On equivalent).

        I'm trying to diagnose the fault(s ?), but I can't find any schematic (appart from the...
