Replace your Hard Drive

Hello

Regarding the sound issue:
If the sound icon in the lower right corner is set to max, it is the loudest this computer will go.

Now, installing a new Hard drive. Just follow the steps below.

1. Step 1 Make backup copies of any important files or folders that you will still need to an external source such as a flash drive or CD-RW. Power off the Fujitsu laptop and close the screen lid.
   
2. Step 2 Turn the Fujitsu laptop over so that you can see the battery port on the bottom side of the case. Press down on the release latch for the battery. Lift the battery out of the laptop case and set it aside.
   
3. Step 3 Find the rectangular plastic cover at the bottom edge of the case that covers the hard drive. Remove the screw at the left side of the cover. Slide the cover to the right and pull it off of the case.
   
4. Step 4 Take out the two screws holding the hard drive carriage to the case. Pull the carriage containing the hard drive out toward the left and then remove it from the case. Slide the hard drive out of the carriage.
   
5. Step 5 Put the replacement hard drive into the carriage. Push the carriage back into the open port on the Fujitsu laptop and then push it to the right. Reinstall the two screws that hold the carriage into place.
   
6. Step 6 Set the plastic cover back over the hard drive and carriage assembly. Reattach the screw at the left side of the plastic cover. Push the battery back into its port until the release latch clicks.
   
7. Step 7 Turn the Fujitsu laptop back over and open up the screen lid. Power the laptop on. Put the operating system recovery CD that came with the laptop into the disc drive. Follow the instructions that will appear on the screen to install the operating system on the new hard drive.
   

This should be sufficient. Please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards
Andrea

Sound like the hard drive is gone my Friend. Going to have to get it replaced. The best thing I can tell you is get another PC or laptop install Linux maybe Unbuntu or one of those flavors. Use the hard drive retrieval method and moves as much UN-corrupted data as possible...when you do that let me know and I tell you how to take out your hard drive. And replace it ...if you don't know how to do the retrieval please email me at [email protected] and I tell you step by step. Through email...goodluck

Hold down "Fn + "Page-down" this will lower the volume all the way to mute and of course..Hold down "Fn+ "Page-Up" will increase and turn the volume back on.

Let the battery completely discharge all they way and let it sit for a day or so. Some times when a battery is new most user do not let it fully charge and then completely drain this causes problems for long use batteries. Then give it a try. It also sounds like your plug your cord that connects to the battery may be faulty. Did you by a different cord with the battery? Or use the one from your old one? If you did. This is a "No No" always buy the cord that come for those battery since they are rated for the particular battery.

Go to start and type "Screen or Screensaver" it should bring up a choice in the grey menu. Click is and go to Timer and add you time. Or scroll the bar till it says NO screensaver

actually in these case laptop does'nt display due to many causes some might be in vga chips, inverter, and LCD etc. but in these side first check if light indicators normal all. then check the inverter.

there is built in graphic chip, if you try to upgrade its processor heats up and after few months may be dead.sodont try to upgrade graphic chip.

Hi...jayson woolc..

Start your computer in the Safe Mode.
To start in Safe Mode
Turn your computer on
Keep tapping F8 while the computer is starting up
When the computer starts select Safe Mode
1. Uninstall any softwear you may have put on the computer before the problem started.
2. Do a complete System Restore: Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>System Restore.
This will bring your system back to a time before you installed the softwear or Microsoft installed drivers,etc.
Note: Just be sure to use a date in a darkened box before your trouble start date.
When you have done the above, restart the computer and if your still getting the problem, then installed drivers,softwear,etc might have corrupted the Operating System.
If that happened then that means either repair or reinstall the operating system.
You will need to do the following:
1...Repairing the Operating System...
A...You will have to have the Operating Dics that came with the computer.
Note...If you do not have the disks that came with your computer or the ones you should have made when you first got your computer...then you will have to go to the manufacture's webpage and see if they have a recovery disk available for your computer, if they do not a recovery disks available then you can also try ebay to locate the recovery disks.
The original disks will have your product key number that came with the computer, you can also find it on the tower, or under the bottom of your laptop, or maybe the piece of paper that the CD orginally came in may have the number on it.
You can also download a small program and it will tell you your product key number.
Go to the following webpage to download your FREE key finder.

B...You will now insert the disc into the CD/DVD player
C...Restart the computer
D...When the window opens that tells you to press "Any" key, you will press any key you want to press.
E...If you do not receive a message that says "press any key to boot from CD", then then the computer is not ready to boot from a cd.
To correct this problem you will have to go into your computer's Bios and change the computer to boot from a CD.
To get into the Bios, shut the computer off,restart, while the computer is starting up keep tapping F1 as the computer is starting up.
When you are in the Bios, select to boot by CD by moving the cursor with the direction arrows on the keyboard.
Once you have selected to boot by cd the exit and restart the computer...the disc is already in the cd/dvd player.
Your system will then boot from the cd.
F...After a minute or less it should ask you if you want to Quit Repair, or Continue.
You will select Repair this time, but you may have to come back here and select Install if the repair does not work.
It will ok the agreement document if it asks you too.
Tap F8 on your keyboard to pass it when ready.
It will ask you if you want to Install, Repair, Delete Partition, or Quit.
Select Repair
Inside the box there will be one or two partitions.
Choose the largest partition.
After you have chosen the largest partition, you will then press the "r" key to start the repair
After the repair is complete, then you will need to restart your computer.
G...Computer Restart
After the repair is complete, shut the computer down (the computer will shut down a few times during the installation of the operating system
that is normal).
Then restart your computer, when the computer restarts it will have a box to put your product key...put the product key in the box and click.
The computer should start up and run as if it was a new computer.
You do not need to re-register
You can now remove the disc.

If this fails to clear your problem then you have a hardware problem.
It could be faulty ram
If you still get the BS (Blue Screen), then you have two choices.
1.Reinstall the entire Operating System and you may have to update some drivers.
This will require you to go back to the start of the repair info and select Install instead of Repair.
2..Take your machine in to have the hardware tested.
Keep in mind that if you do a complete reinstall of the Operating System you will lose all the information on the computer,such as pictures, programs, videos, everything you installed will be gone.
Please take time to rate me four thumbs up

Check the PC with an external microphone and if this works then the internal mic can be faulty and should be replaced.
Also open the audio settings and check the level of the microphone settings .
you can test and confirm the working of the microphone.

Windows is corrupted beyond repair, you will have to reinstall it using the recover cd.

The most common reasons for that are

1. power adaptor or battery isn't working - power problem. Some laptops require the battery to be in the machine even when it's running of the adaptor. If it runs out of 'juice' it will just go off suddenly.

2. overheating - It can get full of dust and dander and overheat the cpu which will also cause the machine to go off suddenly. It shuts off to protect the cpu from burning up. Sometimes if they get hot enough it can still take out the cpu... If the cpu fan stops working it will also overheat.

3. Control Panel - Power settings - check to see if there's a timer set to turn it off after so long etc.

Question edited for proper spelling of maker name and better English. Question moved to Fujitsu category. No model, service tag details given, so generic help. Re: E744 - NumLock flashing Remove the battery and the ac adapter and press the power button again for a view seconds. After that connect the ac adapter first an try again if you can start your device. If you are facing the same problem again you should contact a service partner regarding a repair of your notebook.
