3 beeps pause 3 beeps pause nothing on the screen

Hello

Sound beeps are error codes that describe a problem with your machine. A continuous beep
can mean keyboard (loose or bad cable), losing the card, power, a short circuit or other matter according to the
System/BIOS manufacturer. The model 3 beep indicates similar type problems.

Startup and select CONFIGURATION/SETTINGS (BIOS/CMOS) - usually F2 that you start - look to see BIOS
Creator, then see here:

    It sounds if the HARD disc / CPU fan / lights come on but nothing on the screen.

    In my view, replace the whole motherboard.

  • Re: Satellite Pro A200 - no activity - nothing on the screen

    Hello!

    I have a lot of problems with the Toshiba Satellite Pro A200.
    Same problem for all: when you connect the power adapter led turns blue!
    When I press on "on" button the second led turns blue, the fan runs for a while, but there is not activity: nothing on the screen.
    No thing hard disk led...

    I have a lot of this problem with the Satellite A200. The motherboard is a LA - 3481P.
    I am an electronic engineer and I m specialized in laptop repair card main but I did not understand this problem.

    Can U help me telling me that maybe the defective chip?
    Thank you very much

    Hello

    I don't know if you saw that this forum is the forum of users and you should not wonder if nobody can give the exact answer. As an electronic engineer, you must know that no one can answer specifically and to find the good chip, you must run diagnostic tool.

    So I think that you need professional help. Try to contact nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer and ask for help.

    BTW: I am really interested about new comments here.

  • Nothing on the screen when Tecra A7 reboot

    For about a week, my Tecra A7-201 shows a strange question.

    When I reboot then there is nothing on the screen, but the machine continues to boot.
    I can connect to the machine with MS Office remotely and in the Device Manager I see that there is no graphics cards and also without monitors listed.
    I can stop the machine and then remotely and the same thing happens again to restart.
    To get the screen back, I need to disconnect the power to the machine, remove the batteries, wait about 30 seconds, put battery back/ac on and now I have my screen back.
    As I can't even Toshiba/BIOS boot screen to display everything that this happening before that windows never loads.
    It happens too regardless the State of home (docked/undocked) or voltage (AC or battery only).

    I have no idea if the partners, but also the screen sometimes "flashing" - like lightning just a fraction of a second and returns to normal.

    I'm running the latest BIOS 5.60.

    Clues? The machine is still under warranty (and has been back to Toshiba for another problem already - so it could be a machine on Monday).
    I asked Toshiba here in Switzerland and I get no response, just need to look at the machine (which means that it is gone for another week).

    Thanks for any help

    Peter

    Hello Peter

    I don't really know what the problem is here (probably related equipment), but please do not contact Toshiba but partner service authorized in Switzerland. If you need address, you can find them under http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_gaspLocator.jsp?pf=true

  • Satellite P200D died - nothing on the screen, no HARD drive noise

    Hello
    Toshiba P200D-112 (satellite)
    Just 2 years and already 'OUT '.

    When I press the Start button, the power light comes on and will stay on.
    The fans start but stop in a few seconds and nothing more happens.
    Nothing on the screen, no hard noise complete silence.
    If I continue to press the start for a few seconds power button is sharp as usual.

    Looks like a protection stop start to work.

    I changed the CPU for nothing (the only chip that I can change without welding).
    I tried with battery and without the battery.
    I changed the HD.
    I deleted the DVD player.
    Now, I have on the table, just the motherboard and I have always the same thing.

    Do you please an idea on the reason of this phenomenon.
    Thanks Christos

    Hello

    I see you didn't check the RAM modules.
    Usually, it is the first part that should be checked before you disassemble the laptop everything and try to replace the other, new parts like CPU or similar

    But if the replacement of the RAM won't help, so I put t see any other solution proposal to replace the whole motherboard.

    It's a shame because the new motherboard costs a small fortune

    Hi all

    Newbie here and desperate.

    I have a problem with M17x my son this morning. Everything worked very well and after some time, turned off the machine it self.  Now it does not start even - at least I think, it won't because there is nothing on the screen as it is empty.

    I've tried several things, including trying to move on and outside, with or without a battery of the power cord.

    I'm at a loss as to what could have happened.

    Help, please.

    The gpu of cooking is very easy in fact, that you have designated your oven to about 275 degrees cover a cookie sheet with paper and configure the map out of it by winding 4 balls of aluminum foil and their definition on each corner of the map. you never want to have it put all directly on the sheet. do Cook for about 10 minutes then cool before coming back into the laptop. Always be sure to remove all of the components and the radiator and any residue of thermal paste. After sick cooking you need to reapply a fresh thermal paste. I use artic silver 5. It is has more detailed instructions on this online, as well as photos. You want to make sure it's your video card before you do it just to be sure. I just had to do it again last week, works like a charm for me every time.

  • Laptop Dell XPS 13 L322X: 8 beeps start after replacing the screen

    Hi all

    I have laptop computer Dell XPS 13 L322X (serial number: CC2YVW1).  I use an external monitor because the screen is flickering with vertical lines and ghosts of the colors. I've updated the Bios and the driver video and tried the diagnostic mode (power and the D - key... and) without success.

    I just bought a new replacement compatible screen but the I cannot start using the new form and meeting the 8 beeps are heard. I tried to start with the external monitor and using power on the laptop with the D key, the new screen of the laptop began to switch colors four times and return the sound signal.

    I tried to disconnect the battery and the AC power and maintain the power to drain the left stored energy from capacitors without success.

    Thanks in advance for your help,

    Sala

    In this case, return the set of sieves of replacement - it's probably the cable is bad (but since it is an integral part of the screen, the set should be replaced.

  • Satellite A100 - 510 PSAA2E cannot start - nothing on the screen

    Hello

    I had Satellite A100-510 (PSAA2E) since May 2006.
    2 weeks before, when I tried to switch the fans started spinning and the LED lit and after about 2 seconds, it restarts without showing anything on the screen.

    There is also no beeps or anything.

    I tried almost everything: remove the hard drive, screen, wireless card, dvd player, change the RAM between the slots...
    It makes no difference if.

    So I think it's a problem of memory or the motherboard is dead, what do you think?

    > So I think it's a problem of memory or the motherboard is dead, what do you think?
    Yes, the mentioned parts could cause this problem

    But it would be the worst case and you must contact the Toshiba ASP for more details

    Before that you would get in contact with ASP, I recommend you try this:

    -Remove the battery, disconnect the adapter.
    -Wait 30-60 minutes
    -Bring the two parties together and try to turn on the laptop

    I said it could be the graphics card but could do with a starting point, I'm PC savvy but on the desktop, it's my first attempt at a portable computer so please be nice...

    Hello

    Have you tried this thing?

    ->, remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter from the portable computer
    -> waiting for ~ 30 min 1 h
    -> connect the two parts again and try to turn on the device

    If this will not help, then it would mean that a hardware problem serious causes this problem and you will need to contact a Toshiba ASP technician to know exactly what s wrogn.

  • Help! Turn on 10 power but nothing on the screen!

    I got my switch 10 during about 6 weeks. First month was great. Then he started to get stuck in the mode 'sleep', but on mine, I realized I just need to hold the power button for 10 seconds to turn off or would be put on normally when I press the power button again. We were happy about that, he has worked steadily.

    Thus, from yesterday: the battery was dead the day before. I left that it plugged in all night and day, then last night, I unplugged and tried to power it back it up. The backlight comes on - and sometimes it stays on, sometimes it goes off after about 10 seconds - but nothing happens. I left it on with the backlight all the night night LAST to drain the battery again. This morning, he was off, I plugged it in, same problem, no change.

    I tried the button power + down / volume; Alt + F10; the reset button seems to do nothing; I have also seen a suggestion of F2 + F9 + F10 + entry that also did not work.

    I can tell when the device is activated because the windows at the bottom of the screen button starts to vibrate when they are hit. Right now he's connected with the fixed Orange light in the power button.

    I am afraid that the thing is just gone, but is there anything ELSE I can do? It was a refurb, so there is no guarantee. The seller has provided a 30 day warranty. Ha ha.

    Thank you...

    OK a tower more: with PC switched off, hold down the F2 key on the keyboard, then hold the power button until something happens.

    After that, I'm out of conjecture.

  • G6 caps lock flashes continuously, nothing on the screen

    Hi, I have a HP g6-1325sa had a problem which had to replace the fan.

    However since then nothing appears on the screen F12 has an orange light and the caps lock continuously flashes every 2-3 seconds. This isn't a blinking code it does this constantly.
    So far, I have tried blocking the vents and leaving the laptop that works for more than an hour, as I've heard can be caused by dry solder joints. I have also tried to replace the motherboard and twice managed to get a cursor blinking on the screen but niether of those moments a normal startup is possible that the HARD drive has been disconnected on both of these occasions, the first time that it happened, I had just disconnected power and battery and power and hold for 30 seconds I'm guessing it's a cmos reset.

    the only cause I can think is that the processor is cooked when the fan has been replaced, but who had already paid for another motherboard I would like someone to confirm what it means when the caps lock flashes constantly and if there is another way to fix it.

    Thank you very much in advance for any help

    Solved this problem where everyone sees the same behavior.

    CPU replaced and he started to ask right now, it seems that my predecessor Cook the processor when they changed it is fan.
