Cannot start up satellite M40 136
Hello
I have a Satellite M40 136 2.5 years old. I used it yesterday and then closed the lid then it shut down as usual. About half an hour later, I realized that I had to check a file so I opened the lid and normally he would back automatically, but it didn't. I pressed the button, which is surrounded by an LED, I think than orange means it's pending otherwise it is blue.
When I pressed on it, he showed the light orange for about 2 seconds and then nothing for 5 seconds and then blue for 5 seconds. For these last 5 seconds the machine looks like it, he's trying to start, but then it off immediately. I tried and tried again, but it does the same thing. I tried to use the power cable. I managed to put the recovery DVDs during the 5 seconds, the blue light is on and I press the 'C' button, but it does not work.
Does anyone have an idea on what I can do to get the machine to boot?
Nicky
Plug the laptop! Remove the battery and the AC adapter.
Then wait about 30 min, then insert the battery and connect the AC to the laptop.
Check if the mobile feed.
If this isn't the case,-> contact ASP (certified partner) in your country, because the strange behavior of cell phone looks like a serious problem that cannot be solved by a common user!
Good bye

Satellite M40 - 136 product dvd recovery
Hello
I have problems with my laptop Satellite M40 136 I bought a year ago. If I close down the machine when I then turned it on it would give me a screen saying there is a problem in Windows and gave me the option 'Start windows normally', 'start with the last successful settings', 'start in safe mode', 'start in safe mode with networking' or 'start in safe mode with command prompt '. It would usually take several attempts before that Windows would fire up ok, any option to choose. However yesterday any have repeatedly tried it would not be in windows.
I decided that I need to use the dvd - rom product recovery is a relocation complete (fortunately I had saved my personal files). I did it, but at the end when he says 'ctrl-alt-del"to restart, reboot I got the same message"problem going into windows"with the same options. I repeated the recovery process 2 more times with no luck.
This morning, he did go further and asked me to go through the installation process of Windows (i.e. giving the phone a name, asking if I wanted to save the machine with toshiba/microsoft etc.) However he then pop up with the message "problem going into windows" with the options that I mentioned earlier. I choose any option that he ends up back on the same screen.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
HI Nicky,
It is possible that you have a problem with your hard drive. The operating system will always be usually resident in the same sectors of the hard drive even after a re-installation using your recovery CD, the same sectors of the hard drive will be used to store the files of the OS.
I suggest that you try to run a CHKDSK/F on your hard drive to see what it brings. Of course id there are lots of bad sectors then will consider you replacing the hard drive.
Kind regards

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.

Satellite M40-136: network card is damage
Hello
I have a satellite M40-136, which is a little more than 2 years. I have cable broadband installed and this had led me to discover that I have a problem with my network card (a Marvell Yukon map I think).
I had guys on the network at work to check the laptop and they say either the network adapter connection is loose or the card is damaged.
I rang one of their guys said tech that I need a new main board because the network cards are integrated on all laptops and PC WORLD.Is this correct? If it is then it will cost an arm and a leg to fix it.
Nicky
Well, that's good.
Map of LAN (RJ45) is soldered on the motherboard.
Perhaps an independent technician with experience might be able to solve this problem, but in general, the motherboard should be replaced.The motherboard is one of the expensive parts and you are right; the new Council is costing a fortune

I can t boot my WXP more. It comes with a blue screen error message:

Is there a manual for the laptop to download somewhere?

Cannot start my Satellite A110-275
Hello
I had one laptop Satellite A110-275. After the first days, when I bought someone spilled a glass of water. I send the laptop on a center here in Canada they have change the motherboard. Laptop worked for several months and a few weeks ago are starting to make me a problem such as:
I start it and everything seems ok all lights are blue lit, I hear when the beginning of the video card fan and nothing appears on the screen.In the past after a few opening and closing laptop computer started but now its saying DEAD leds.
Could be the processor or even once the motherboard? I already changed the 2 GB memory and nothing.
Could someone help me with some ideas?
Thanks in advance.Processor A110 - 275 Intel Core Duo T2400 satellite clocked at 1.83 GHz 2 GB of 533 MHz DDR2
Thank youHello Marina
Please don't get me wrong, but I don't think there is that you can only do about it.
Of course, there is a serious hardware problem, probably with the motherboard. I don't know which component is troublemaker, but if your computer laptop doesn't react at all, it can be electronic power supply.It may be the CPU. It may be the motherboard, but you must understand that it is not possible to provide an accurate diagnosis on this path. What you need is a professional help. Laptop must be controlled by diagnostic tools and it can be done in only authorized service. Contact them and explain the situation.

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 by Satellite A10-S703 from sleep mode
My boss gave me a Satellite A10-S703 running windows XP. I was tooling autour, when suddenly the computer is in sleep mode (LED flashes orange). I tried pressing the power button, but nothing happens. What should I do? I am seriously at the end of the roll and will be in hot water if I can't get the thing started. Help, please.
Hello
It of very strange that the laptop switches mode standby during the work on this.
Anyway, you can try this way:
Disconnect the power adapter and remove the battery from the laptop and wait several times. It's not easy to tell how long to wait but wait 10-15 minutesReplace the battery in the notebook, and then connect the power adapter. Try turning on the laptop computer.
To my knowledge, this is a common procedure if such question comes on the laptop.

Cannot start by Satellite L850 - no boot device - please reboot
Hi, can you help me?
I have a toshiba Satellite, win 8, and when I try to start it it shows the message 'check' media (fail) and then shows "no boot device - please restart."
How can I solve this problem?
Unfortunately for these questions there is not some sort of magic bullet. Start your laptop and press F12 to get into the boot menu. If it works check if there is the option to enter setup. Choose this move down arrow and press ENTER.
If it works, you will see the BIOS settings. On the first page (HAND), check if the HARD drive is listed and recognized correctly.
In any case, use F9 and BIOS to the default settings. After doing this use F10 to save and exit.
Check again please. If the same thing happen over and over again I fear you have professional m need help with this.What model of laptop do you have exactly?

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