Satellite Pro L300-21F does not start and the screen remains blank
L300-21F is aged 18 months, so out of warranty. When you press the power button, you can hear the fan and a "click" but the hard drive does not start and the screen remains blank. The power and the battery on the headlight LEDs, but the switch light does not work. I checked the power supply and it is 19.3V and substituted a good known. Removed the battery, tried with just the power cord and still nothing. Pressing ESC or F2 when you press the button power does not bring to the top of the screen of the bios or any other message. I have concluded there is no power the jury. A friend he had its technology take a look and he concluded Council is probably a friend.
So my questions are:
1. He's probably right?
2. is it a common problem with an easy solution?
3. what else can do before shelling out for a new Board of Directors?
4. is there a link where I can find how to disassemble the case?
Any help appreciated
Hello
> 1. He's probably right?
Yes, it looks like motherboard failure
> 2. Is this a common problem with an easy solution?
If it's a motherboard problem, the whole motherboard is replaced. Quite expensive part...
> 3. What else can do before shelling out for a new Board of Directors?
I don't think you can do anything with fried mobo
> 4. Is there a link where I can find how to disassemble the case?
Take a look at the site called irisvista.com

Computer does not start after the screen of the bios, Compaq Presario SR1023WM
Ok. Trying to fix a friend's computer and seem to have met a strange barrier.
Problem: The computer does not start after the bios screen.
Details: When you turn on the computer, the compaq logo with intel inside is and has the < F1 Setup > and < F10 System Recovery > options listed as well. And that's it as far as the computer becomes. After that the computer just locked up, no work of buttons on the keyboard lights keyboard ect ect. I tried the puree on the F1 key, as soon as I turn on the computer and I can handle so he can say * entering setup * but it freezes again after this point. I already tried to eliminate the possible sources of the problem, removed all expansion cards, HDD and Dvd Rom module only disconnected, only memory (256 MB ddr 2700), power, vga and keyboard connected. Ive also used the jumper on the motherboard to clear the cmos, hoping that would solve the problem without success. I tried using a different memory stick and different memory as well... Tried to use both a ps2 and a usb keyboard... Ive even tried pulling the rider for the protection of the bios password (even if she did not have a password on it, just try everything I can think of).
The installed bios version is 3.1, and that's all that I know on the computer at this point, except that the website tells me to him.
http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/product?product=411354 & LC = on & CC = US & DLC = in & Submit.y = 5 & Submit.x = 3 & lang = to & CC = US <-link to the Web page for the model #.
I'm basically at a loss on this one, so if someone feels scroll line-by-line of their brains on this one, I'd be very happy.
I have a pretty strong understanding of computer repair, so feel free to give me something to try.
If you need more information out of me, let me know as well.
Try to clear the CMOS again but this time remove CMOS battery and hold the power button on a few seconds. Replace the battery, then try to start back to the top.
At the back of the pc is the condition of the PSU led green or flashing?

Satellite Pro 6000 freezes and the screen is weird random pattern
Hello
I recently bought a SP6000 second-hand advertised as having "graphics problems". After 10 minutes or use the laptop freezes and the screen has a strange random pattern all acorss it. The speakers are also a strange hum. I have to stop the laptop and restart.
I've updated the bios and drivers for card video from the toshiba site, but he always does. Can anyone help?
Hello
It's not easy to say why this problem occurs. You have purchased a second hand unit. It is possible that your device has a hardware malfunction, but I can't give you an answer why it is happening. I suppose that temperature increases after 10 min of use.
Maybe this could be a problem. It could also be a fault of the motherboard. But these are just suggestions. In my opinion, you should ask the service for detailed information.

Computer does not start after the screen goes blank & Compaq.
Hello
A few weeks ago, I turned on my PC and it showed at the Compaq screen and then went to a blank screen & would not respond. I held the switch button to turn it off and after 4 attempts, it start fine. Next time, it took 20 attempts to initialize and now it does not start, it will be maybe if I try like 100 times he can do... The problem is when the Compaq screen comes up it comes only for like a second so I know that it does not start, if the Compaq screen stays for a few seconds as 3 + I know it will load windows and start.
History > the computer originally had XP and has been replaced with VISTA memory was 2 * 512MB, but it was a bit slow and I was advised to upgrade. I bought 2 * 1 GB memory and put it in my PC a few months there may be 5 + had no problem so far.
I tried the following:
Remove the memory and replace it. Remove the 2 * 1 GB of memory and its replacement by the Moose 2 * 512MB to check if the memory is at fault.
Cleaning of the dust around the fan (at this point, I removed the fan over the CPU and cleaned the thermal compound from the CPU to make it nice and shiny, only tried to start one time after that for a few seconds heard blowing fan and turend it took off. Depuis_lors, I realized that it wasn't just muck and had a purpose na derwiche put a little more on)
Remove the battery of the BIOS for half a day
Move jumpers CMOS from1, 2 to 2, 3 positions
I can not get into the same if BIOS start and hold F1 he will show me the BIOS for a second and then go to a black screen.

I am running Windows XP SP3 with RAM sticks of 256 MB (2) on an old eMachines T5026 desk top. I added strips of RAM 1.0 GB (2) for the two slots open and computer would not start. I tried with stick (1) 1 G and (2) 1 sticks and it still won't start. I tried to mix and match the 256 with 1 G in each combimation, but it does not start. Won't start with one or two sticks of 256. Best Buy had PC3200 DDR RAM but the spec above States use PC2700. Geek Squad says that PC3200 is OK instead of PC2700. Is this the problem or I had to do something besides just insert new RAM? Suggestions welcome. Thank you.
Thank you for confirming that. I still think that the above tips are relevant:
Because what you bought doesn't work, my suggestion is to stay within the plug (PC2700), like this:

Why my computer won't start, and where to go safe mode?
I had nothing but problems since then tried to switch to Windows7. Several attempts over the past two weeks, none worked. Then started getting the blue screen of death at random times. Today they came more often until it got the point where computer should restart and go straight to the blue screen of death.
Tried to reinstall Vista, I have had to do in safe mode, because I couldn't have what. Did not exist then. Now, I can't find it. Don't ask me why. If I knew, I wouldn't be here.
Vista has been subject to half way through installation when SURPRISE! Blue screen of death. After that, he says that there is no disc in the drive, then no player, then not whatever. I remember even now, I'm so frustrated. Changed the CMOS to boot from the CD Rom settings, did not a thing. Can't find safe mode more. Never heard of that one before.
What he does now is during startup, it happens at "Verifying DMI Pool Data data... ", and then says"disc error occurred, press Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart. " So now, it's in this endless loop.
So, is he dead? I'm afraid to change other parameters, because it's a white box. He got 2 readers of DVD, which now seem unnecessary. It is also a RAID configuration, and I never dealt with more than 1 hard drive before. At one point, I got to a screen (no idea how) that allow me to achieve a memory check. If I remember correctly, he said that memory was fine, but there was a hardware problem?
Any ideas?... Anyone?... Beuller? ... Beuller?
Thanks for the reply. I finally get it working again. Find an old email of the person who built it, and fixed it without delay. There is nothing wrong with the hard drive, it was fine. In fact, 'they' were very good. The problem is in the bios settings. After I changed it to boot from the CD drive and it did not work, I put in some way something to the default settings. Big mistake with a raid system. He apparently wanted to a single hard drive, and this computer has four. Or is it 5? How long I forgot. The user then, stupid mistake.
I will, however, never try to reinstall Windows 7 on this computer. If someone wants to give me an old, used computer, I'll try, but I got to risk it.

Satellite L40 - does not start and the screen is completely blank
Hey guys,.
A good friend of mine has a laptop Toshiba Satellite L40, who died recently, and she has not been able to find the warranty documents yet, so I wanted to ask if maybe you could help.
Basically, what's happened is that one day she was using the computer and not have noticed that it was not plugged in to charge, and before completely lost all power, the computer went into automatic hibernation mode.
It plugged into the charger, the lights indicated that he was in charge. A few hours later she was trying to turn on, but nothing. the computer itself gives off a sound very low, as if turned on, but the screen is completely blank. She said that it's almost like she couldn't make the thing out of hibernation mode. He continues to give sound and some indicators remain lit until the battery is running out of charge.
She has Windows XP is installed on the computer.
Perhaps someone could help as to what is happening here? 1 million thanks!

Hello
Weird, but have you tried to remove the adaptor AC/DC and battery? Wait one hour and then reconnect the adapter AC/DC and battery. Maybe the laptop restarts.
If this isn't the case, I think that you need assistance from an authorized service provider. It seems to be a hardware problem and the laptop should be checked by a technician from Notepad to determine the cause of this problem.
On the Toshiba site, you can search the nearest ASP:

Satellite L500-1TC - does not start and the screen stays black
Hello
I have a Toshiba Satellite L500-1TC and since yesterday it no longer starts.
The picture freezes and it restarted. Given that I can push the power button on my laptop and the LED indicates that it is on, but the screen remains black.
No idea what I can do?
The warranty is still active, so can I send it to Toshiba?
Kind regards

My pc won't standby and the screen saver does not work. Any help?
I set the screensaver to go after 1 min, but it doesn't. I can get a preview of the screen saver and the part is ok. In power options, I put the pc into standby after 5 min, but it doesn't. I ran a few utilities and a couple came back, 'screen saver fixed', but it still does not work. Help!

Hello
Functions of the screen saver and sleep depend on the computer to detect an idle state. An idle state is reached when the computer detects no activity on the system. Once reached the idle state, it must maintain a State of rest for the period that you define in the element.
If you have any device connected to the system that periodically checks for a specific action, this device can cause the system to achieve or maintain an idle state.
Some devices, such as a device of VOIP phone that checks for incoming phone calls is an example. If you have a MagicJack or any other similar device, try to remove them and check if this solves the problem.
Another culprit is an e-mail or instant messaging program that periodically checks for new messages.
Tell us what you find.

Windows 7 x 64 extremely slow start and the screen 'welcome. '
Hello!
I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A500:
Intel C2D 2.5 GHz
4 GB DDRII 800 MHz RAM
400 GB 5400 RPM Toshiba HDD
ATi 4650 GPU
I have Windows 7 Pro X 64 OS real, through MSDNAA
The boot takes 17-21 seconds on the Welcome screen (20-30 seconds ' welcome'), then 1-3 minutes on open office.
I have all the drivers installed, I tried to start the removal of unnecessary startup programs, but it's the same thing, only 1-5 second faster.
I reinstalled my OS several times, the HARD drive is in AHCI mode, but I tried to 'Compatibility', but does not solve the problem.
After bootlogo, there is very high HARD drive activity (people with disabilities search indexer and superfetch too)
With x 86 startup is about 1 min.
I suggest a bit of required diagnosis. Try this [how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7 | http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135]

But the laptop still wont start I tried to run chkdsk/r from the command line and was unable to do as he says Windows cannot run disk checking on this volume, because it is write protected. I don't know what to do now anyone no matter what ideas thanks in advance.
Seems odd. Startup Repair should have solved the problem.
Have you tried new reboot running?
Give it a shot...
Any chance that you have a "backup computer?
Try to do a full restore of the PC.
See how it goes...

However, this does not work and once more, he'll just right to the power saving mode and is right. Y at - it someone who has ideas for what to do. I am running Windows Vista, if this is useful.
