• Satellite A350 dead - motherboard, graphics card fail AGAIN

  Hello, this is my second problem with my Toshiba Satellite A350, and, honestly, I don't think I'll buy one of toshibas in the future. Allows from my first problem. I've posted it here: [http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=170074#170074 | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=170074#170074] warranty repair gots a month. Yesterday, I turned off my toshiba and today he's dead, I mean that nothing happens after clicking on the button / STOP. Same POWER leads is not brilliant, are not from radiators, nothing happens at all. When I put the provider in notebook power cable, power supply unit led is shining and full-charged battery led shines too - so it is not the power supply problem. I'm pretty sure that it is motherboard crash once again, can someone just confirm that? :)

  I have to send it for repair under warranty once again, but it's clear to me that to happen again and again after any repair until the warranty end - before the first repair, he had a lot of problems with the graphics card - laptop has been hung up for awhile and after that he was communicating Windows 'video driver did not. ", but he got the device again. After repair, it was happening again, not as often as before, but it was, so I think that it is not only motherboard problem.

  I heard that after 3 repairs, I should get a new notebook from Toshiba. Is this true? I think I am done with this :(

  Hello

  I'm so sorry to hear you have these problems with this laptop nice Mr. I have same Satellite A300 and I am happy that my works well.
  Anyone here on this virtual path can confirm anything, but according to all the information that you have posted I believe the motherboard is dead. Please contact new service and explain the situation. Sorry, but this is only on the right path for handling in this situation.

  Talk with the service people, ask why this happens and I hope they will have a reasonable explanation. To be honest I ve ever heard talk about this with 3 repairs, but you can talk with service.

  Good luck.

• Migration of the HP OEM system, dead motherboard - License Lock

  I replace the desktop computers that are both the same model of a HP Desktop Tower. The motherboard on one of the computers has been cut. Can I swap hard drives and always operate the system very well, but when I move the hard drive to a new system Windows 7 refuses to launch (license lock). The product code for the system was for Windows 7 Home Premium and we bought and used codes upgrade of Windows 7 Edition Family Premium to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, but the license lock still prevails.

  Can I (and what is the best route) to contact Microsoft to remove the lock of license?

  (It is not economically feasible to track down a motherboard for a 5 year old computer and continue to run on older hardware. The license must not be used on old hardware, dead.

  If not, is it possible to buy a license code Windows 7 retail and replace the code to get the job of the computer?

  [Reason: I tried to migrate to a new version of the trial of Windows 10 and transfer, but the original system contains proprietary software required that we don't have access to the installation files.]

  The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

  -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

  -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

  -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

  -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

  Have you tried to restart by phone?

  How to activate Windows 7 manually (activate by phone)
   
  1) click Start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
   
  (2) press the ENTER"" key.
   
  (3) select your "country" in the list.
   
  (4) choose the option "activate phone".
   
  (5) stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.
   
  (6) explain your problem clearly to the support person.

  Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.

  You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

  There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)

• dead motherboard p6130y. can I replace with same MB

  computer does not start. Nothing after plugging. It seems that several suspects caps (bujlging). PS and good.

  Coulld suffered an electric shock (lightning). Found replacement bd on e - bay, the same specifications as this one. Pegatron m2n78 - la

  If you do not reserve for purchase on EBay, it's what I would do.  Just make sure that you get the same version of the m2n78 - la as you have.  There are several iterations that are similar and all carry the designation "m2n78 - la".  One specific is listed as M2N78-(purple)

  There are

  (1) M2N78-(purple)

  (2) M2N78-(VIOLET6-GL8E)

  (3) M2N78-(Violet-GL8E)

  In addition to inspections, it perhaps #1 and #3 are the same.  If you can get the current motherboard label numbers, which would help in the search.

  Assuming that you are skilled enough to transfer the material from the old to the new, you should be good to go.  Don't forget to clean the CPU and the heatsink and applied new thermal paste on same, before feeding the reconstructed platform.

• Satellite Pro L40 with a motherboard dead

  Hello

  I have a L40 Pro of the Satellite with a dead motherboard.
  I just got a second hand one out of ebay, who was supposed to work.

  I connected the components of the etc., heat sink, processor, old wireless card.
  When I turn it on the led and the processor fan runs but the screen is blank.
  I have attached a monitor external, same thing.

  So what I'm asking is, if the processor has been fried, what will happen or would it boot in the BIOS at least?
  I bought a dead motherboard?

  Hello

  In my view it is difficult to say what is the reason. A friend of me also bought a second hand motherboard on eBay that didn't t work
  But theoretically it could also be a problem with your CPU. Who knows?

  I think that the best option would be in contact with an authorized service provider. Why? The guys were professional diagnostic tools to check your laptop. In addition you can get all the spare parts for your laptop.

  Here is a list of them:

• Looking for Satellite U400-10J Motherboard

  I * Satellite U400-10J * laptop and the motherboard is dead.
  I was wondering where I can get a new motherboard or how do I replace the dead motherboard.

  Concerning

  To be honest I don't understand these issues.
  It is the same with the defective part on your car. Either you go to the authorized service and order new original part or you look around to get cheaper parts.

  So, what is your option now? To order the new part of origin in service Toshiba or try to find less expensive but has used one?

• Experiences of replacing motherboard

  So my new E540 boot - after that the 5th day I used it at all. All I get are two red power light. I tried a hard reset but it did not work. Call technical support first thing Monday. It's a shame as I like the computer and it took place just outside the fourteen day return window.

  This problem seems to be quite common, and almost always requires the replacement of the motherboard. So I was wondering what people's experiences were with replacing the motherboard. At they ruin your laptop? Have they worked? They have like the original?

  Thank you

  Have you tried a hard reset, semil? If so, then you and I have the same problem. It's a dead motherboard. Fortunately for me, when I checked, my laptop has been delivered and died within the 14 day window, so it fits in their 'dead' on arrival policy

  "Dead on arrival (DoA) policy."

  If a product fails warranty of 14 days of delivery, that the product is considered DoA and Lenovo will, at its discretion, repair or replace this product. Lenovo will organize and pay for a courier service to collect the original product from you.

  You should contact Lenovo Support within 14 days of delivery and must provide proof of purchase and the model and the serial number of the product.

  Please contact Support on 1800 041 267 [Australia] Lenovo technique.

  If Lenovo determines that the product is not DoA, then Lenovo reserves the right to charge you the cost of the product from collecting and returning it to you, more product inspection fees. »

  I'm trying to replace. Here are the steps:

  -Call technical support in your country and record details
  -Send your proof of purchase (and proof of delivery if sent to you) to an email from tech support provided to you
  -Will send you a dead on arrival reference number, or call tech support the next day to receive this Ref. number
  -Contact where you bought it. your retailer, in my case, sales of Lenovo.
  -They will take your laptop (because they will organize a messaging service online to look at their own expense) and send it to technical support to check it out, you can request that it be repaired or replaced.
  -They will repair or authorize a replacement and give it to you

  In your case, if it does not under the dead on arrival in Germany policy, I take it back to the retailer and require a refund or a replacement of their part ask a warranty repair is a bit more of a pain as the DoA policy. There is no reason to keep your laptop.

  If you love the brand, stick with it. Regarding changed the brand, I did research before I buy my brands and Lenovo was always near the top, and was regarded as the second behind Apple in 2013. My guess is that there is a manufacturing defect. This happens with technology, so I'll stick with Lenovo unless my replacement (when I get it) died as well.

• Impossible to reactivate XP Pro OEM after replaced motherboard

  As the title says, I'm unable to reactivate a copy of XP Pro (OEM) after replacing a dead motherboard. I did have problems in the past when replacing hard drives.  I reinstalled the operating system three times in the last 24 hours, does not. OEM drives are SP2.  Download and install SP3 and IE8.

  I wonder not to enter the product key on installation/set upwards (although I seem to think that I was the first time and ignored). There is no option to validate through start programs etc because there is no such thing as the "Activate windows" option.  The validation simply said the key online tool is not valid and directs me to a page to buy Windows 7. I tried the phone... free license key number by selecting personal user... but after the long string of numbers, the 'voice' says that the key is not valid. [I'm not sure if it is relevant, but in the part of this page Web where it says change key if the instructions (or words to that effect)... the key already indicated in the boxes is not the same as the one I have.] Is it because it's what they would say to change it too or what MS thinks that my key is already?]. The options trying to activate via the warning in the system tray do not help either.

  I think at present to remove the hard drive, which is the one that came with the pc and already partitioned if not used (I replaced it with a larger immediately after you have configured the pc), delete partitions and reformat before you try to reinstall and activate again... but I was wondering if it is simpler and less time-consuming option.

  Any help is appreciated.

  Update (a few hours after the original post): I read a few topics where it is explained how to talk to an operator.  I'll try later today that before anything else.  However, all the other advice always welcome.

  Replacing the motherboard outside the warranty terms invalidates an OEM license.

  You will need to purchase a new license for Windows - and it will take a full commercial license.

• will I have problems if I replace the OEM motherboard with a new?

  Someone at - it successfully system OEM motherboard replace?

  I'm fixing a child 6 years out of warranty HP m7160n Media Center PC with a motherboard failed.  If I replace the MB with a new one, I have software problems?  My goal is just to make a quick motherboard replacement and restore the computer to the owner with that little pain as possible.  What I don't want to do, is to have spend $90 (HP parts store wants $250) on a replacement motherboard and then have to deal with software problems then currently installed programs or the operating system.  It did not come with a Windows Media Center CD, everything is in the HP recovery partition the existing drive.

  It's my understanding that even though I am an end user, I should have no problem getting it registered/validated until I replace the motherboard with the same make and model that came in the original system.  Thanks in advance for your answers.

  A motherboard with like-for-like replacement should be no. emits either with software, drivers etc although you'll probably have to revalidate.

  Problems arise only if the new hardware is substantially different from the original, in particular with the chipset of the card. That being said however in many cases you should be able to boot and install the drivers required during the initial start-up. The only exception is the player interface as this may generate a blue screen INACCESIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE and the only way around this is to pre-install the new drivers on the old system before the change, though if the reason for this change is a dead motherboard that does not help.

  I once replaced a mobo with a failed IDE port by plugging a PCI one which enabled him to start, install the drivers for the card, install the drivers for the new Board of Directors and then replaced the Board of Directors.

  Regarding the licensing issues, it's a moot point on how you can replace before it ceases to be that a repair is disabled so the EULA. I saw someone claims that he could not get a direct replacement mobo a generic would not fit the case of mark and so it "replaces" the case as well. In other words it did take out the HARD drive and put it into a new clone system. Not permitted under this EULA.

• Inspiron 530 dead USB Ports

  I have an Inspiron 530, circa 2007/2008.

  All of a sudden, the USB ports stop working.  They died from the moment you press the power button.   Front, back, is not serious.  Several mice and keyboards, no difference.   Without a PS/2 keyboard port, this means no keyboard, no access to the BIOS, nothing except to watch the loading of Windows.

  1: what is the prognosis?  Dead motherboard?  It's a Foxconn G33M02.  Are there different versions of the G33M02 or they are all should work?  I have a Dore 2 Duo E4500 processor

  2: what can cause this? I have a USB hub powered with several connected external drives, but also an external USB disk plugged directly.  Except that this is just the keyboard & mouse.  Is it possible that one of these devices fried the motherboard somehow?

  Thank you!

• Satellite A200-1 body weight does not start

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A200-1BW model that frooze all to use and would not start again.
  I have checked all the power drive options very well.

  I have the blue AC power led on and the orange light but pc does nothing. I tried to power up without battery with AC, but always the same question.
  No fans don't come on etheir. PC won't in the start-up phase, and nothing appears on the screen that is constantly empty.

  I don't get the HDD 200 GB startng so I swapped it for a work of identical spare but the pc still does not start.

  My only conclusions are that I have a dead motherboard or a power problem internal.

  Its the real frist problem I've had with this laptop so am just checking to see if anyone out there has had the same problem or knows all the patches, I have not tried.

  Yes, that sounds like a serious hardware failure.
  Looks like the motherboard, GPU, or another party on the mobo may be defective.

  What about RAM modules? Did you check both?
  Please do

  Otherwise if there s no RAM issues then you will need a professional technician help.
  At the moment I put t see any other solution you :(

• Satellite X 200 - 15 K power on but the screen is black

  Hello

  I have Toshiba Satellite X 200-15 K, two days ago, I have problem with screen, the screen I have noise, I think it's the same error in my display driver and I have stop near windows xp and try to after 1 min, but the screen has more noise when the startup boot image and I stop by button / stop on laptop.

  Then do what I ve tried again to turn on my laptop but on the screen, I see only artifacts (same squadrons of colors) and after that, my laptop can not work, I tried to power on him but I only power led and HDD light works only 5 sec and after off the coast, and the cooler works 5 sec too and after offshore.

  I tried to remove the battery and the RAM and the wireless and all that I can :), but nothing happens, but when I try to power without RAM I see on power light beep two red and two yellow (IE my motherboard work).

  Maybe it can help me. I think I have dead motherboard.
  And for me, it is interesting that someone may have similar problems.

  Thank you.

  P.S Sorry for my English :)

  Hello

  Let's summary.
  You had a few artifacts on the screen, and now, you are not able to start the unit.
  Nothing appears on the screen; Neither the Toshiba start screen appears is good?

  Hmm seems material issue I m thinking about GPU (graphics chip).
  What do you think of this?

  If it's really a problem of graphics card, then you will need to replace the motherboard.
  In most cases the chip belongs to the mobo anyway... something like this can be done by an ASP in your country.

  Then please get in touch with the guys to get more details about this

  I wish you good luck

• Re: Satellite A200-1AE does not work

  Hello!

  I have Toshiba Satellite A200-1AE computer that does not work.

  I use (d) for educational purposes and now the problem is that it will display no signs of life. the blue led light on the front of it does not illuminate when I connect it to the AC/DC adapter.

  I tested the AC/DC adapter with a voltmeter (it came with the computer in the box of the card when I bought the computer) and it works well.

  Yes, the battery could be dead also, but it should work just fine without it and is not.

  What to do about this problem?

  He has a dead motherboard? No, I can't be brave enough to think about.

  Help, please.

  Thanks in advance for your reply,

  Goran

  Hi Goran

  Everything is possible... also a dead motherboard.
  But to make sure exactly what s laptop computer checking is necessary.

  So, you will need to contact the ASP in your country for the control of the laptop.

  Good luck

• Satellite C660D lights (MEB)

  1 laptop has been left for several days without supervision

  2. where it has been discussed there was a Windows Windows error message has not closed properly and the computer must be restarted in Safe Mode, BUT at that point, the entire keyboard was inoperative, so, even if the touch pad still, worked it was not possible to boot into Safe Mode or the return key or enter key wouldn't work.

  3. I then tried to reset the computer turned off, unplug the power and remove the battery. However, when I reconnected it the battery and the power supply, the computer would not power on the rise at all - no light, no fan, nothing. I tried also pressing and holding the power button no power no battery connected. Nothing

  4. any ideas? Is this a dead motherboard?

  Stand by.
  > when I reconnected it the battery and the power, the computer lights at all - no lights...
  When you connect to laptop to the power plug are DC-in and battery LED ON?
  Have you perhaps noticed flashing power LED?

  On this virtual path, it is not easy to say with certainty what the problem is. It may be electronic power supply. All these important elements are placed on the motherboard.
