Asus Laptop shut down and spoilt my database "corrupted"!

I use VivoBook Max X541NA. Some days ago, it spoilt my day. I was working with database in Visual FoxPro. I went aside for some minutes, when I came back laptop was turned off. I launched it again, and FoxPro popped up a message...Visual FoxPro not a table error upon opening DBF file. Now I need any dbf fixer or guide, I want to handle it.

    1. It is possible to undelete an earlier version of a file in Windows 7, 8, or 10. Not sure what operating system VivoBook Max X541NA uses.

    2. Commercial software might repair it, but I don't know what product is the best. Here is one that showed up in an internet search, but I don't have it, and can't say if it works properly or not.

    I am using the Comment box to allow anyone to jump in who can help. It has been over 10 years since I worked with FoxPro so I am not much help.

    Hi Sarah,

    You can also refer to the below-mentioned post. https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Re...
    This will help you to know the causes behind it.

    sarah, the first thing is are you backed up.
    so not run any database of any kind not backed up.
    and is to be said first, so any helper can answer with clarity.
    if no backup, then back up now
    so later, if you mess up the DB more
    then you can at least go back to day1, spoilt.
    or to day1 (minus 1 day) not spoilt
    see?
    back up daily or more often, only you know
    how important your data is, not us, ever.

    for example my DB is accounts receivable.
    imagine losing that... (doomed)
    Some data bases are pure fluff like you see here. fixya forums. (as is 1/2 down right now? here)
    YMMV

SOURCE: Is it possible to Repair DBF file?

If the file needs to be repaired, it is already damaged. To make things worse not only keeps a spare copy. And so - foxfix very powerful tool for recovery. Or a hex editor to see what is written in the tail of the file if the garbage - it cut before the "normal" data (aligned along the border post), to calculate the size and the size of the .dbf header records how many there really are, and to correct the record count in the header. Also there is a file header, which is similar to can (and should) rule in heh mode.

here you can see this topic. Here is the link to the forum

http://www.filerepairforum.com/forum/microsoft/microsoft-aa/sql-server/593-foxpro-behavior-when-opening-dbf

and even try to program DBF Recovery Kit

SOURCE: How to recover a database on known *.bak file?

Completely - in any way. If you find also tbk the file - then is possible. bak is
backup copy of the dbf file, tbk - a backup copy of fpt (there a memo of a field are).
However you were perhaps lucky, and actually fpt the file wasn't cleared.
And it is possible "to restore" of course simple renaming of bak file into dbf file. Of course then have to be reindexed the table, and if the structure changed, in general, to recreate the indexes from scratch. and perhaps "to treat"
the container Database dbc/dct (if you use it of course).
If so it doesn't turn out, then try to restore through DBF Viewer Tool. It well restores.

Come here on a forum and look at councils for this subject is there.

My asus x4541n turned off while i was using it and it wont turn bavk on.

that model is NO SUCH THING, why post lacking such key facts? google show zero. for that
4541
my wild guess X541n ,right? just a typo there?

a VIVOBOOK? that name there too?
ASUS VivoBook Max X541NA PD1003Y - 15.6" - Pentium N4200 - 4 GB RAM - 500 GB HDD??????????????


laptop, it is and not stated. and only 2 years old max.
so the PC is now dead, no errors on screen?
no text ever, no Asus logo graphics.
here are the steps on DOA LT.
1: take out that old bad main huge battery first.
some books like this have very hard battery to remove. IDK, no full model stated accurately.
so that does not matter, the battery must be pulled.
2: now run on AC pack only, does its turn ON now.
and show at LEAST text to the screen,,
yes good, battery is NOT.
no, next up is.
3: HDD spins, put ear to hdd casing, here it spin up turned on.?
yes, good,
no bad hdd or fully dead.
4: fan, fan is next even first. it must spin, it must blow and be heard to spin, or blow.
if not that means PC has no power.
try a new power pack AC.
the cheapest test and cost to fix any PC is a new power pack. 1/10th of 1 hours shop labor alone.
in shop we can test the power pack
but you dont have a voltmeter to do that.


also do the long reset
remove the AC pack
push power for 30 seconds, hold it and release the button.
now AC pack back on the PC and turn it on now.

learn how to remove the battery. they can short and if do, bad deal.

I've been using Asus F7Z during many years

I assume you have no backup and you are running in
Additional resources that could be useful for you might be following, good luck...

NOARCHIVELOG mode, otherwise you wouldn't be asking this question.
Assuming that your db file is really corrupted, then you can startup the database without this file:
1. take a full backup of all your current db files, control files, redo log files.
2. Startup mount the instance
3. ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE 'fullpath/filename' OFFLINE DROP;
4. ALTER DATABASE OPEN;
This will drop the file from your db, so all data in it will be lost, but the data in other tablespaces will be accessible.
If this doesn't work, restore to its original state using the backup taken in step 1.
However, before concluding that your file is corrupt, try to see what happened to it.
Post the following info:
Your archivelog/noarchivelog mode.
Tablespace to which this file belongs.
Oracle error when starting up the database.
Also, startup mount your db and :
SELECT * FROM V$DATABASE;
SELECT * FROM V$DBFILE;
SELECT * FROM V$RECOVER_FILE;

How do i reset the bios password? because if i shut down the notebook it will directly ask the password

if you contact asus and give them the model number along with the warranty number they will either give you a master bios password or take it in and reset it themselves
