IBM Recent Questions, Troubleshooting Help & Support

When i got black screen on my Windows 7 laptop when started pc, Windows Boot Genius helped me fix problem without data loss easily!

T30's do have a well reported problem with their memory slots. It is possible to fix it if you are brave and moderatly competent with a low-power (15-20W) soldering iron with a good bit (I recommend a flat oblique tip of about 2-3mm, not a pointed one).

Firstly, heat the soldering iron and clean all traces of solder from the bit. You can use a wet solder sponge, or even damp kitchen paper. It is VITAL to remove all solder.

Remove power and battery from the T30. Open the memory cover, and remove all memory.

Taking great care, press the bit of the hot iron with moderate pressure (about twice what you would use to press a key with one finger) on each pin in turn for about 1 second, on the contacts of the memory slot that is not working. Because you have no solder on the tip, it does not matter that you touch more than one contact at a time, but there are very small surface mount capacitors between the sockets. Be careful not to touch and unsolder these.

There is a warning here. Do no wipe the iron across the contacts. Always lift the iron before pressing it on the next pin(s). If you do wipe iron across the contacts, you WILL bend and short them. These are surface mount components, and the wire contacts are easily disturbed and shorted. If you do short the contacts, it will be difficult or impossible to fix.

Remember there are pins on both sides of the memory socket. Do not worry if some of the plastic of the socket melts, it is not a problem.

Continue until you have worked on all of the pins. Patience is a virtue here. Allow to cool, re-assemble and test.

I cannot promise that this will fix your T30, but I have extended the life of 2 out of 3 T30s I worked on in this way. Note extended, because the design flaw will cause the problem again sometime in the future. The board appears to flex, which puts strain on the solder joints.

Win10 should auto-detect it; so it should need a driver from it manufacture. Assuming the monitor is properly functioning, and if you are still having problems: 1) Use the most up-to-date connection such as HDMI, DVI, or Display Port 2) Then with the monitor connected, force a Windows update. 3) Make sure the display adapter's resolution matches one of the monitor's supported resolutions.

Hi... The process you go through to try and fix a corrupted NSF file is to run the sequence of fixup, compact and then updall. To do this go to the console and run the following commands: LOAD FIXUP database (Remembering to add -J switch if transactional Logging is on) When this has finished then: LOAD COMPACT database (you may need to add a switch here depending on your system config i.e. -B), and finally: LOAD UPDALL Database (Usually with -r switch). If you find that this does not solve the problem, then try running these commands from a DOS Command line without the Domino Server running - it can sometimes be more thorough. The switches can all be found in the help file. If this does not help, then try to restore the file using the Lotus Notes Repair Kit tool. http://www.lotusnotes.repair/ Good Luck.

You're wrong that is not reset it is format.. Take to any windows dvd like windows 7, 8, 10. And install in reboot with the settings of BIOS and follow instructions..

connect an external monitor to your laptop and check if you get display on the external monitor. if there is display than the issue is with the laptop monitor and you should replace the monitor screen, if the problem still remains the same when you connect the external monitor than it could be a software related issue. check and see if you get any display in BIOS mode. if you do then it could mean the OS is corrupted and you should reinstall the OS

It seems the "enter" key is pressed down according to the system during startup. One way I found out is to reset BIOS to factory settings. my problem was a sticky shift key. used software to disable it once Im logged in. Donno if it will work for you too.

Hi,
Following are the steps to use credit card machine

step1:Input the credit card numbers.If you have the credit card in hand, swipe it through the card reader. Most readers have a small icon or picture on them that shows which way the magnetic strip on the back of the card should be facing. If not, try running it
through the reader with the strip facing the machine first, since that is the most common direction. If you have a phone order, or do not have the credit card in hand, select the button marked "sale." On many machines this is also the "1" key, but it varies depending on the brand of the machine. Then follow the on-screen prompts to enter the card number and expiration date. Always double-check the numbers before pushing enter

step 2:
Input the sale information.Typically, the machine will first ask for the sales amount in dollars and cents. Input the amount using the number keypad. Double-check the amount to make sure it appears correctly on the screen and if it does, then push enter. If you accidentally input the wrong amount, look for the "clear" or "delete" key and start over. In some cases, the machine will prompt you for additional information after you've entered the sale amount. Follow the prompts to enter information, such as the customer's zip code or an order number.

step 3:
Wait for the sale to process. Depending on the machine's connection the sale may process within seconds or it may take a few minutes. If the machine seems to become "stuck" while processing a sale, do not re-enter the sale, but instead call the processing company's phone number for further instructions. In many cases this number will appear on a sticker on the machine.

step 4:
Process the receipt.If the customer is present, have them sign the credit card receipt. Give them the copy and retain the original for your records. If the customer is not present, write "phone-in" or another appropriate phrase on the signature line of the receipt. Keep one receipt for your records and include the other in the shipment of the goods to the customer.

step 5:
Close the batch.Double-check with your processing company, but most require you to run a "batch report" or close a batch of credit card receipts each day. This is the process that tells the company to finalize the credit card charges and deposit the balance to your account. Many machines will have a key that is marked "batch." You can press this key and then follow the prompts to close the batch at the end of the day. If the machine does not have a "batch" key, consult the user's manual for instructions or call your credit card processing company for instructions.

Thank you

not sure what you call comb guard, but most IBM Selectric parts are secured in with screws, but sometimes pivot screws from the side, loosen nuts, screw out and see if your "comb guard" comes out. As I say is it on top of keyboard or under the keyboard we might have called it something else many years ago work on these machines.There is quite of IBM machines on ebay,

Hi, Try the drive on other usb ports first. Listen for the windows "Beeps" when you plug it in or take it out. If the beeps are heard then you need to go into Disk Management and assign drive letters to the partitions

Hi,
There are a number of potential causes for this error. the most likely is a dirty Printhead Home sensor ( see Pic). Try cleaning it with a cotton bud or compressed air.

Does the problem occur during a self test ? ( print at leat 10 pages )

Let me know if this doesn't sort it.
