Hi,

 

In that case, check the following.

 

1.  The halt code ( generated after 3 incorrect entries ) that you've posted is definetely correct.

 

2.  You entering the code on a QWERTY keyboard.

 

3.  Shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery.  Hold  down the Power button for 30 seconds.  Plug in the AC Adapter ( leave the battery out for the moment ), start the notebook and try entering the code again.

 

4.  Try entering the code via an external usb QWERTY keyboard.
