Cannot start the satellite M35X

Hi all.

Cannot start my Satellite.
When I push the power button, it turns on, the blue led is ok but the HDD led blinks 1 or 2 times or it happened when it is not clear at all and put the laptop off, but the power button remains lit.

However, from time to time, it starts up, shuts down load the XP but after 1 minute.

I have reinstaled recently the WinXP, and I did a bios update. Before that, the laptop didn't have this behavior, however, the XP raported me that the hard drive is faulty.
I figured it is something related to the HARD drive.
What should I do?

How can I be sure that the HARD disk is wrong?

Hi mate,

If your HARD drive has bad sectors, you must exchange it ;)

For example before doing this, you can check for bad sectors using specific diagnostic tools HDD as Drive Fitness Test:
http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT
Here, you can download an image file to create a boot disk. Then boot from it and to start the test, it is quite easy! ;)

If your HARD drive is faulty, this tool should recognize this.

  • Cannot start the Satellite Pro A120SE-180

    Support the necessary computer startup.

    I have a Satellite Pro A120SE-180. I took out the RAM to check how much I had. Then, I opened the battery compartment without thinking about the consequences. Now I get just a power indicator and that it will not start at all.

    I can't open the disk drive or get any life out of it. I was running an upgrade of Vista, which was available as a cheap option when I bought with Windows XP.

    Hi Rob,

    What might have happened, is that the operating system and a hard drive can have erased himself when the RAM and battery have been removed at the same time!

    The only way to fix and doing things is again to send it to a Toshiba service center and get them to look! Also, do not upgrade to Vista - I'm using XP and it seems to do the job the way it was supposed to! I intend to switch to another Satellite Pro, an A300 running Vista, but I will look for someone who can replace XP on it!

  • Cannot start the Satellite P300-1FN - nothing happens

    Hi all

    I have recently reinstalled windows 7 on my Satellite P300-1FN and after a few minor problems, it was working fine.
    I blocked some drivers and updates, then it prompted me to restart.

    I turned it off and left while I had lunch, then tried to start and nothing happened.
    I mean nothing, not even the power led comes on. I put the battery in which I know has at least half a load and nothing.

    The fuse, still nothing changed. What is everything?
    It is quite dead.

    Any help appreciated.

    > I mean nothing, not even the power led lights up.
    Sounds not good man

    Sounds like the motherboard or CPU problem because no s lights are on.

    But try this;
    Unplug the power adapter, remove the battery, wait some time (2-4 hours) and reconnect the two parts.
    Check if you could power the unit in place.

    If this is not possible then I would recommend contacting a professional technician to ASP.

    Sorry, but that's all I can suggest

  • Cannot start the satellite a60 atheros ar5004g wireless code 10 adapter

    I have a satellite s-156 a60 with an atheros ar5004g wireless network adapter... When I updated the driver code 10 appearaed in Device Manager, I drove back to the old driver, with the same results.

    I then performed a new installation with the recovery dvd, with the same disappointing results.

    When I bought the laptop the only software I received was the dvd restoration.

    I downloaded other pilots, with the same results.

  • Cannot start the Satellite L730

    Hello

    I just bought a new laptop (satellite L730) and according to the instructions, I tried to follow the 6 steps of quick installation included in the instructions.

    After having turned it on, was asked to choose a 32 bit or 64 bit OS (I chose 64-bit as advised), I then followed the guests and answered all the instructions on the screen.
    a message _ + _ + "the computer has encountered an unexpected error... to install windows click ok to restart the computer, and then run the Setup again.

    I've been by clicking on 'OK' for the last 3 hours... and nothing has changed, I have not yet reached the stage to choose the location or the language of the keyboard etc...
    Help! :)

    Hello

    You should stop the laptop and try to reinstall the OS once more.
    Press the power button / stop, then press F8 which will allow the advanced boot menu.
    Here you must choose to fix my computer.
    Then choose HARD drive recovery and follow the instructions on the screen.

    Good luck

    Hello

    Do you mean that the external CD/DVD drive for PC card cannot be recognized in Windows XP?
    Hmm I think I have an idea.
    I think you should go to the Device Manager and remove the * Texas Instruments PCI controller card bus * and * Toshiba ToPIC100 CardBus controller *.
    Reboot the laptop.

    After restarting, the operating system must install new hardware (two controllers carbs) and after this installation, you can try to connect the external PC card, CD/DVD drives again!

    Good luck

  • Cannot start the DSC Shared Memory

    I'm under LabView 7.0 (I know its an older configuration), with DSC and Lookout CPB to make periodic communications to an Omron plc. I needed to update the nor-DAQ because the PCI-6220 card needs the driver. I upgraded to NOR-DAQ 7.5 and now a get the cannot start the Service Manager memory shared DSC. I uninstalled the DSC and reinstalled without change. I found in discussion forums that I need nidscsm.exe in the windows\system32 folder, but is not there. I am running Windows XP.

    I have 2 configurations like that. 1 PC always connects to the controller even if the error appears, another PC connects any, lights flash but error timeout then comms.

    Thank you!

    Sorry, maybe I had my names wrong. He was DAQ - Mx that I've upgraded to v.8.1 and that's where it messes up the communications of the OPC. I knew that if I install the DAQ - Mx without option checked OPC she always clears the NIDSCSM.COM as a service, but I can still use serial OPC communication. Strange...

    1 know if your AV (anti-virus) program is supposed to disable your Windows Firewall. Some do it.

    2. you do not do so in respect of the services? You do it in this way? ...............

    Start > Search box, type ser > press the Enter key > scroll down to Windows Firewall...

    under status, it lies and must say... Has begun

    under Type of status, it must be said... Automatic

    If it does not say that, right click on Windows Firewall > properties...

    in Startup Type, click on the pointer, and then select Auto

    to the service status, click Start

    Click OK when finished.

    These error messages are a pain in the neck to extract useful information.

    I suggest that you do a search online 'pilot audio free downloads' and find another audio program for your PC.

    If you find something that works for your satisfaction - remove your original pain in neck audio software and make sure you make your audio program newly found the 'default' device.

    Realtek and NVIDIA, for example get stuff good free audio driver.

    If the new program does not work - it would be a good indication that you have hardware on your PC, drive problems and no amount of play more with to try to correct the audio software will help. Period
