Equium P300-16 t does not start

Hi guys,.

I have a 2 years old P300-16 t.
I spent yesterday morning, and he did not begin loading windows. The Toshiba logo came, and then white screen, but I can see that the LCD is on.

After a few minutes, the fan is fixed, but nothing else happens. I tried to boot from the recovery CD, DVD, DVD of windows, start, but nothing happened.

I can access BIOS without any problems, I have reset the settings, changed the order of precedence of boot, changed by pressing F12, but nothing helps, it stock after the Startup logo.

But once I removed the HARD drive and started the machine without it, surprisingly, he began to start installing windows loaded from the DVD to the part of the HARD drive, then it stopped for obvious reasons.

Then I checked the HARD drive and it "works very well, I ran a few tests on this subject, I can access it from other laptops, and it seems OK, no strange noise, none of the defective areas, nothing..." And again, if the HARD drive was not working, why can not boot from the DVD?

So, it seems that the laptop won't boot at all if the hard drive is connected. I hope it's just a small matter that can be resolved easily.

Any ideas would be very appreciated,

Thanks in advance,
Adam

Hi Adam

HARD drive is recognized correctly in the BIOS?
Can you get somewhere second HDD and try it again?
I mean if the same will happen again maybe is disk controller HARD head of this strange issue.

    Hi everyone, I hope someone can help.

    I have an Equium P300-16 t.
    First it wouldn't start, just the media & power led lights.

    Found that the upper ram module no longer works.
    With only of ram in the computer laptop lower slot will start. Test different combinations of modules, but unit will not start with the lower module filled.

    At least it starts I thought, but now after the toshiba screen, I now get a screen asking me a bios password.
    Research on the web, I see that it is a random problem.
    The unit is out of warranty.

    Any suggestions please

    Thank you

    Hi mate

    Unfortunately, it seems that the laptop calling you the BIOS password (don't know why) who is not known to you
    In this case, you should ask a technician using ASP.
    The guy was able to remove unknown BIOS password by using a special procedure.

    As far as I know it of not possible to remove unknown BIOS password without help from ASP.

    Good luck

  • Equium A60-173 PSA67E does not start

    I don't have a model Equium: Equium A60-173 (PSA67E-00700C8J) that will not start.

    It tries to start hard drive turns, the fan starts, the dvd drive light flashes, the hard disk light flashes and then he died.

    Battery life is very good, charger/power supply is fine.
    Lights on the front shows the unit is on and the battery is being charged, they all light green.

    I removed everything, left power and removed the battery for an hour, but it still will power not on.

    Any ideas?

    It looks like a faulty motherboard, but it is not easy to say.

    You have already removed the battery and the AC adapter and waited upward at the time, so you have to go to an ASP and ask a technician for help. They can check your laptop and exchanging parts.

    On the Toshiba site, you can search an ASP:

  • Equium A300D - 16 c - does not start - no POST

    came to turn on my laptop this morning at a black screen after you turn on the laptop and a bunch of times, I noticed there were 2 low beeps coming from the motherboard (thought it was the hard drive, it comes to the right side of the laptop / to the right of the touchpad)

    When turnt on:

    -Power light is on
    -Battery may charge just fine and light orange to indicate his support works
    -Hard drive runs well (witness disk is active at all lights)
    -After 2/3 seconds after turnt is powered, you get 2 beeps VERY quiet (had to put ear on the laptop to hear it)
    -Fan works fine also the controller - the heat of the laptop becomes the fastest is laps.
    -Tried with or without battery, adapter always the same results

    tried to remove ram/try different combinations but same result, also no output at all on the external VGA port

    Anyone have any idea?

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what is wrong with your laptop. Exact hardware failure can be determined by diagnostic software.

    Beeps at startup indicates a serious hardware failure. It may be BIOS or maybe GPU. Unfortunately, we can only speculate what may be the problem. I m afraid the motherboard should be replaced.

    What you can do is to contact the nearest service Toshiba and ask for help.

    > My Toshiba won't start...
    Why? What is the problem here? What did you do? Usually, something like this can happen without reason.
    Have you tried to update the BIOS or what?

    What happen exactly when you press the power button / stop?
    Try to remove the RAM and HARD drive and try again.

  • Satellite P300-28th does not start - windows does not load

    I bought Toshiba P300 28th last week. I spent Vista business successfully in Windows XP Professional with provided Toshiba DVD. Update Windows with Windows Update. After 3 days, laptop turns off suddenly, and because Windows does not start, it in fact does not start.

    When I press the power button / stop, it turns on, shows "Toshiba Leading Innovation" logo image option and "2", "press 12...", and it hangs and stops.
    I tried pressing F2 and F12, nothing happened.

    I can not access the boot menu.

    I put the Toshiba Recovery CD, the hard drive does not work. Recovery disk does not start, despite earlier I remember put boot CD/DVD at the forefront in the Boot Options to Boot Menu.

    I checked everything, power cable, took the battery in and replace after 3 hours, tried to turn on the portable power, without battery cable. Did not help.

    Don't know what to do?

    Your help is very appreciated.

    Hello Fiona

    If you are unable to enter the BIOS (F2) at startup settings there must be some serious hardware problem.
    I recommend to contact your local dealer where you bought this laptop and ask for help, or you can contact Toshiba service provider directly.

    What you have tried to do is good but if laptop doesn t allow you to enter parameters of the BIOS something wrong here, and you need professional help.

  • Equium M40X: I get to the banner of Toshiba, but Windows does not start

    When I start my 2 year old Toshiba Satellite M40X, I get to the banner of Toshiba, but Windows does not start. I tried using the recovery CD and it does not either.

    Any suggestions as to what could be the problem?

    Hello

    What do you mean with the banner of Toshiba? Did you mean the Toshiba splash screen that appears at the begging of the boot?

    Equium M40X successfully passed this screen?

    If the laptop is unable to switch to the home Toshiba screen then I presume that the BIOS has detected a hardware problem.
    In this case primarily the motherboard fails

    But if the laptop is able to spend the Toshiba start screen, the motherboard must be ok and only a 3rd device malfunction as HARD drive could cause this problem.

    in my last question, I was told that it was the hard drive was dead.
    Since then, I've replaced my hard drive and my hard drive, but it always seems to be doing almost the same

    I can get into my bios and the hard drive is recognized.
    I tried to boot from the disk recovery and hard drive but no joy.

    but since I replaced both drives when I boot from the hard drive it gos just a black screen with the little line in the upper right corner.

    but when I boot from the disk it gives me this error pxe - e61, which is where his tent to boot from the network I have read.

    until I replaced my hard drive, he had a strong look that has disappeared since I replaced it.
    the disk hard im trying to use now is off my brother's mobile which all ready installed xp on it it would make a difference when you try to boot from the hard drive? (my laptop is xp)

    I read something on definition of my hard drive to the master and my cd player to the slave that would make a difference and how would I do?

    I think it's as much information im aware off

    o im also getting the and pxe - e61 pxe - m0f error code

    Hello!

    What happens to an error you get? Please post what we can help you.

    To be honest that I n don't know what you mean with clip Ribbon keyboard but if the keyboard is faulty or something else, the keyboard completely must be exchanged. You are not a unique key or something else.
    If you want a new keyboard or other spare parts contact your local ASP.

    Good bye

  • Equium does not start after Exchange VGA and motherboard

    Greetings.
    I have a satellite that were replaced VGA & mainboard, but it does not start. There power correctly and power & switch are turned on but there is no image on the LCD or external. HDD led flashes but nothing more.

    I tried a different CPU and RAM modules.

    In other threads with similar problems seems to be a problem with the screws but I tried to remove all the, winding or change.

    Im stuck with this and have need of any kind of help.

    Thank you

    Try this:
    Remove the battery and the AC adapter, wait up to an hour, plug in the battery and the AC adapter and try again to restart the laptop.

    In my opinion, a problem with the motherboard. The new mother is maybe defective.
    You have replaced parts by yourself?

  • Equium A100-338 does not start the OS Vista - update Bios?

    Hi guys,.

    My laptop (a few months) decided to die and was told by tech support that it might be because of the BIOS. The problem is that the computer does not start the operating system (Vista) and the update of the BIOS available only is the version of windows. Are there any other mirror to get the traditional update or even a way to convert a the update the BIOS from Windows startup disk?

    Thank you

    Hello

    If you can see that one version of BIOS on Toshiba page then only one version exists and is available!

    > The problem is that the computer does not start the Vista operating system
    I don t think that BIOS could be responsible for this problem.

    You must first provide more info on this problem!
    The laptop goes to home Toshiba screen? Have you tried to recover the laptop with the Toshiba Recovery CD?

    Please provide details!

  • Equium A300D - 16 c. do not start after his stop.

    Please, it is a problem that I seem to not understand. I used my laptop Equium A300d - 16 c with no problems for over a year until last night. I was installing a software (nokia PC suite) that you are prompted to restart the computer. the closure was normal and so he could restart, was a problem. It displays nothing but a screen empty. It is obvious it does not start as when I press the power button it goes immediately. Only the power led is on. Another thing I notice is that the DVD-ROM reads any disk placed inside, but there is no display of any kind.

    My first reaction was that it may be overheating, so I cleaned the vents and amazed the dust of all compartments. but the problem still persists. Please, I want to know what may be the problem before you take it for repairs. Need help. Thank you.
