[Simply Computers] Re: windows 7 laptop boot issue fixed ?

 

Well done! on disconnecting the internal keyboard and using an external.

As for adding 10 seconds to the timer, why?

Seems like that would only make it wait 10 seconds longer than it already does.

I think my suggestion was (or should have been) setting the timer to zero.

but I see you already gave the computer back to him, so maybe next time ...

After selecting Windows 7,it goes into Windows welcome screen and for some strange reason the Password bar fills up with whatever,meaning it puts something there that is incorrect,so I chose that and got the incorrect screen,from there used the correct password.This now goes right into the owners user screen. Everything seems to be normal at this point.

Also every other time it is turned on from being completely shut off,it makes a continuous beep and dose not stop until I press the power button. At first I thought that was the battery being low but after the unit was plugged in and the battery fully charged this episode happened again on every other boot.
