2430-101 stops at Toshiba-Logo (BIOS Setup/Boot-selection products deadloop)

Hello.

I have a serious problem with my Satellite 2430 101:

The system stops at the start after reaching the TOSHIBA Logo. Pressing F2/F12-key appears common waiting messages ("enter in BIOS-Setup" / "entering Boot Device selection Menu) "), but the system hangs and then upward in a deadloop (you can hear the fan turning after a few seconds). Restarting with Ctrl + Alt + Delete system works perfectly, but as soon as it happens

This is what happened before the last stop:

I simply restarted the system (OS: Novell/SUSE Linux 9.3 kernel 2.4.xxx) and usual stop messages appeared. Then there was strange messages, which resembles BIOS-output (I'm sure it's no message-Linux)-I remember only something about "Boot PXE" and that it was an error message. After waiting some time (about 15 minutes), I rebooted manually by pressing the power button.

I tried unplugging everything which has been connected to the system (including ModularBay devices) - without any result. I use the old BIOS 1.10 because there is no BIOS-update to the 2430-101 available in the downlads (maybe that was the problem). I also tried out the hard drive - even without a hard drive, the system displays the same behavior (if the hard drive is not the problem)...

I hope someone can help me with this, because I need my laptop for my work...

Thank you

Hi Rico,

Have you tried to boot in SafeMode (PF8)? This should at least help you in your system to check for any errors.

You can also try pressing them ESC when starting so that you can see the progress of the BIOS and the error messages.

  • Re: satellite A300 screen turns off after the toshiba logo, will not boot from the CD/DVD

    Hello, I have this problem with Toshiba satellite A300.

    I deleted several files and folders of my drives C and E. To restart the computer, it only shows the Toshiba logo then a slightly gray white screen on a thorough inspection. Whenever I press CRL + ALT + DELETE, the computer restarts and behaves in the same way.

    I tried to use an external monitor, but there is no difference. The tent to start using a CD/DVD, same behaviour occurs, it does not start and screen remains blank after the Toshiba logo, I tried even to change g the order of boot, but in vain.

    What could happen?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    It seems that you deleted system files and Windows no longer starts. Have you tried to restore the disk image factory settings or hard drive recovery? Or do copy the Windows installation... It is easier to reinstall rather fix the problem.

  • Satellite 2430-101 is compatible with 100 GB HARD drive?

    Dear comrades,

    I immediately bought a Hitachi Travelstar 7K 100, 100G of HARD drive.
    Can I use this HARD drive with my laptop Toshiba 2430-101? Has anyone had experience with this combination?

    Kind regards

    No, you cannot use the 100 GB HARD drive.
    As far as I know the laptop supports following three HARD drive sizes:
    -30 GB (4200 RPM)
    -40 GB (4200 / 5400 RPM)
    -60 GB (4200 / 5400 RPM)

    More large hard disks could not be recognized by the BIOS.

  • Satellite 2430-101: external USB 2.0 HARD drive problem

    Hello everyone,
    I have Toshiba satellite 2430-101. Recently I bought external 40 GB hard drive. When I connected to my toshiba usb hub, it is said that it exceeds the limit of the power, and I need to detach the external hard drive. When I read these last questions, someone suggested to uncheck the power supply to the usb hub options, but he says always the same. They are someone to help me.
    Concerning
    Sri

    Hello

    Well, in my opinion, this problem occurs if the USB port can't provide enough power.
    In this case, that the USB hub must be connect to external power.

    Good bye

  • Portege Z30 - cannot access the bios Setup

    Hello

    I can't enter BIOS setup when starting. Pressing on F2 allows me to enter the master password and HDD/SDD (confirmed validation), but the screen freezes at the "Toshiba configuration utility' graphics without any progress.

    This problem began to appear quite suddenly, I enter the setup of BIOS several times before without any problem. The only change that's happened that I know is an event of disruption/recovery failed.

    My suspicion is that the laptop is now in the start-up of hi-speed system. Can anyone confirm that? Is it possible to force it to boot normal start time? I'm using Linux, so I can't use the Windows of Toshiba Utilities.

    > I'm using Linux, so I can't use the Windows of Toshiba Utilities.
    That s bad:(dans le Toshiba HW Setup vous trouveriez un paramètre pour modifier l'option vitesse de démarrage.)

    > My suspicion is that the laptop is now in the start-up of hi-speed system. Can anyone confirm that?
    Hmm in my opinion, if the start-up speed would be set to fast, you wouldn't be able to press F2 and enter the BIOS password.

    However, in other cases, if the startup mode is set to fast, you can enter the first INS key BIOS and press the F2 key

    Give it a try.

  • C satellite will not start - only toshiba logo appears

    My laptop is only 1 week and will not start.
    All I get is the toshiba logo and the screen becomes a pale bluish color.

    Any ideas?

    What is your laptop model?

    You are able to access the BIOS?
    Turn on the unit button and press F2 to enter the BIOS.
    The BIOS screen is visible?

    Another idea: the laptop turns on, press the F12 key.
    Usually, you should see a start menu. Here choose the last option called HARD drive recovery.
    This option allows you to recover the computer laptop back to factory settings.

  • Access BIOS Setup

    I'm trying to access the BIOS settings, but I failed. I installed vmware server and set up a virtual computer. When I power the virtual machine I don't see any BIOS Setup screen to change the boot order. So I changed the virtual machine to "enter the configuration screen of the BIOS in the next time you start this virtual machine", but it has not worked. The configuration of the BIOS screen did not appear. So I changed the file vmx with "bios.bootDelay ="10000""but I couldn't see any BIOS splash screen when I powered up the virtual machine." What can it be bad? Why the BIOS Setup screen does not appear? I'm doing something wrong? Can someone help me?

    Is it possible that you have not installed the web console client and you only see the VMware logo?

    Thanks for help

    As you can see this pictures shows different readers. On this point, you can choose which device should be used as first boot device.
    When you start your laptop and when these symbols appear to press the right arrow several times (the red line of the brand will be moved to the right) and you will see how you can choose the right device.

    When the device is marked just press the ENTER button.

  • Satellite Pro L870 don't stay on the Toshiba logo forever - no start

    Hi all

    Does anyone know of a problem that could cause a no boot (a few stays on Toshiba logo forever) followed by starting on the second try almost every time on a Toshiba Satellite Pro L870 (Windows 8)?

    Thanks in advance

    The laptop usually performs the POST (power on self-test) while the Toshiba splash screen is visible.
    In power in the self-test, the essential components card mother (i.e. RAM) is enabled.

    I think the POST should not be spent properly and so the laptop hangs at the Toshiba logo screen.

    But unfortunately, I can't say with certainty what part could be affected it could be a RAM problem or a motherboard problem.
