Starting PC DOS... screen
Alani-N opened this issue · 1 comments
Hi,
After following the instructions and creating a bootable USB with the patched.x230.img
When I boot to this USB, screen becomes stuck on:
"Lenovo Group Limited"
"Starting PC DOS.."
As far as I'm aware I've followed everything mentioned, and I'm currently on the BIOS 2.75, EC 1.14
Any ideas of suggestions?
Hi there, i had exactly same issue under these conditions/environment and managed to solve it following way:
Laptop:
- X230
- i5-3320m
- 8+4Gb RAM
- 512GB Apacer SSD
- 6-cell original Lenovo battery
- BIOS: 2.75 EC: 1.14
Environment - issue present: - Laptop plugged into 4337 docking station
- Closed lid
- External keyboard and mouse
- 2 HDMI monitors - one connected via DisplayPort-HDMI converter, the other via DVI-HDMI. Only that on DVI->HDMI was showing screen on BIOS!
- 90W adapter
- Image written to spare 16GB SSD via SATA-USB3 converter, connected to internal USB port
- Battery patch only applied
- Result: Stuck on Starting PC DOS screen
Environment - issue solved!: - Took laptop out of dock and opened lid
- Plugged in 90W adapter
- USB port unchanged(assuming not relevant at this point)
- Result: Patch applied! Or at least procedure took place.
Now i assume that it was applied and i had not tested it yet, i just decided to quickly summarize what worked for me before i forget anything. AFAIK comment can be edited any time, if not, well then i have not forgot to mention anything and new comment will be update but the important stuff will remain
