Help satellite 2520

A friend asked me to take a look at her laptop for her because it does not start in windows.
So I piocked today and it wont even go into the bios screen, infact u don't receive anything on the screen.
syptons are...

The drive at startup, the cdrom power up (nothing there) and it will not open by the eject button.
Have you tried to connect a monitor to the output of the screen, just in case the screen had gone but no joy!

Some cards are installed in the slots.

Any advice would be apreciated

TIA

Hi Bluetac,

It sounds like a hardware failure. I think you need to consider to the service.

Good bye

  • Help: Satellite A30 101 of electricity

    Hi Tom,

    Thanks for the comments miss the *.dll error message. Let me tell u, when I first go to the menu Tools of system I see "scan disk" function isn't here. I'm looking surprisingly it wasn't there. Can you guess what happens?

    When I try to uninstall the "Toshiba Power Management Utility" as you suggested, it tells me that the source is on the web. I cheked the CD of tools, the toshiba power Saver is empty. The installation program asks a (package) MSI file which I can't locate from the CD and the web. What should I do?

    Please help me. I am a new user for laptops and know very little about hardware/software.

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    Well, this seems odd. If you open "My computer" and right-click on Local C: drive (or whatever you named it), then select properties from the drop-down.
    Click on the Tools tab. There should be a section called 'error checking '. Is that not available on your system? This system is offered by your business or is your private laundry?

  • Re: Help Satellite A500 Windows 7 DRIVER IRQL NOT LESS or EQUAL BSOD

    My Satellite Crash when I try to play games (or sometimes randomly). It starts late and then it dies just across the blue screen saying driver_irql not less or equivalent.
    I updated my drivers but it still crashes and I am unsure of how to identify the driver that is causing the problem.

    So please how can I fix this problem.

    Thank you

    PS: this is not due to overheating.

    It looks like Microsoft DirectX and graphics driver conflict. Download the latest version of directX 11:

    Uninstall the previous one installed, reboot the laptop and install a new one. If happens again, reinstall or update a graphics driver

  • Recovery Vista Help - Satellite L300-149

    Hi all!

    Have you tried many places and can't find the answer I'm looking for, so here I am.

    My nephew has a Toshiba Satellite L300 - 149 that will not start after Windows Vista log in screen.

    I want to do a complete system restore on it (ie. back to the factory settings).

    Now, it was delivered without recovery disks which seems to be the norm these days so after much seraching I found directions to press the F8 key and press zero to startup.

    Now... F8 displays a menu (zero key does nothing), but the menu (Options Advanced or something) does NOT include the option to fix the system. It brings up a list of other things including...

    ENABLE BOOT LOGGING
    ENABLE VGA MODE
    LAST KNOWN GOOD CONFIGURATION
    DIRECTORY SERVICES
    DEBUG MODE
    DISABLE AUTO RE START

    There are a few other options too, but not one that offers a full recovery.

    Can anyone shed some light on how I can do a full restore via HARD drive, or if this model even supports the option? (There were absolutely no tampering with the OS since you bought it.) If not, where can I get the restore disks from?

    Thank you

    Bear

    Hey,.

    The exact description of recovery of the HARD drive that you can find here:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD1303440001R01.htm

    As you can see the option to fix my computer is necessary for the Toshiba HDD recovery process.

    If it s is not available, you must use the Toshiba recovery disc. This disk can restore factory settings too, but the whole disk will be wiped. So if you have important data on it should perform a backup before. ;)

  • Help: Satellite A30 - 303 Multidrive is not available

    I have problems with the multidrive (DVD-RW/DVDRAM/CD-RW) of my A30-303. Whenever I have insert a CD or a DVD, it delivers the following error message:

    "E:\ is not accessible.

    The request could not be performed because of an i/o device error"

    the weird thing is that after a few attempts (eject and reinsert drives) some of the disks actually read. What is a driver/firmware issue? or I have to have it replaced? BTW it is covered by the warranty?

    Hello

    Kutlaya is right. If there is failure of equipment or malfunction, the replacement will be covered by the warranty.

    In any case, it will be interesting to know since when you have this problem and have you made any changes.

    Hello

    The real time clock battery (RTC) feeding the clock/calendar internal and the maintenance of the system configuration settings.
    This error can occur when a machine is left off for a long period of time and is the result of a depleted battery for RTC
    So first step you should try to charge this battery.

    The RTC battery, plug in the adapter and turn on the computer.
    Leave the machine for about 24 hours to ensure a full charge in the RTC battery. Please note that the RTC battery will not charge while the laptop is turned off, the adapter is connected or not.

    In the configuration screen of the BIOS press the [Home] key to restore the default values, and then press the [End] key to save and exit, and then press [Y] to confirm and reboot the system.
    Then set the date and time in Windows

    As long as Windows starts, you will see an error message about an "invalid system time." Go ahead and click 'OK' to clear the error dialog box.
    Open Control Panel, and open the command 'Date and time' by double-clicking its icon. Set the date and time, then click OK to save.

  • satellite 2520cdt is very slow after replacing HARD drive

    My Satellite 2520 CDT is the HARD Mk 4309 MAST 4.3 GB default disk. I replaced the with the Toshiba MK 2016 GAP of 20 GB.
    I use Windows 98 since the original installation CD. The laptop is now very slow, it takes minutes to start programs, etc.

    I installed the latest BIOS with no improvement. Probably the laptop cannot manage the size of the HARD drive.

    Is there a solution?

    Hello

    I had the same suggestion. I think that the large size of the HARD disk is responsible to slowly start performance. But I wonder why BIOS recognize the HARD drive?
    However, try to defragment the HARD drive.

  • Satellite L350D 213 PSLE4E - how to include the SATA drivers to install Win XP

    Doug

    Hello

    You have two options;
    Either you install Win XP with SATA drivers or without the SATA drivers.

    If you want to install Win XP without SATA drivers, you will need to draw the SATA AHCI compatible mode option in the BIOS. But in this case the HARD disk, performance would be lower.

    If you want to use the SATA performance, then you need the SATA driver.
    For this I recommend this HowTo:

  • How to delete hard drive partitions

    Can someone help to give me advice on how to remove my hard drive on my Satellite 2520 partitions? Partitions only appeared after using the system now recovery disk, I have c:d:e: disc where as before didn't the c: folder. This caused me problems when you try to install programs like not enough space available now.

    Hi Luke,.

    Your recovery CD has two options for the installation of your system. The first option is just to format your hard drive and then install a single partion \C: on which your operating system is mounted. The second option is "Advanced" installation in which you can partition your hard drive in any format you want so that you end up with a multiple logical disks \C:, \D:. \E: etc.

    The second option is preferred by many users because it allows them to keep their user data on a separate partition of their operating system.

    As for your problem, you might return to a partition of acronym of re-installing your recovery CD by using the "standard installation", as described above, but then you lose one of your own stuff, unless you save first. Alternatively, you can get a copy of a third-party utility (for example, PartionMagic) to reformat your existing installation.

    My personal preference would be a re - install from your recovery CD, but this will depend on how much you have added to your system, since you installed it last.

  • Satellite U300 - help hardware upgrade to SSD and RAM

    Hello world
    I want to completely upgrade my toshiba satellite U300-140, mount VISTA and default the technical features, posted above.

    I need your help to choose the best (and economic) device SSD and RAM slot. It is very important for me to know what is probably compatible with my device. Please, could you help me in your experience?

    And... an SSD is worthy, at the speed of my laptop? I was thinking about kingston 120 Gb or 240 GB V300

    http://www.Toshiba.it/discontinued-p...Lite-U300-14O/

    According to specification for laptop, you can be upgraded up to 4 GB RAM in order to use 2 x 2 GB of RAM. The compatible RAM modules have PA3513U-1M2G part number.

    I think with SSD, you shouldn't have any problems. I updated my old P500 with 250 GB Samsung 840 SSD and it works perfectly.

  • Cannot change the contrast, brightness, etc. on Satellite Pro 4600. Help please.

    I can't control the contrast, brightness, Saturation etc... using the control panel of Trident in my Satellite Pro 4600. Could someone help me to activate these controls?
    Thanks in advance
    Andrea

    Hello Andrea,

    normally, you can change this settigs in the Panel, but to explain the way to change this would be nice to know what operating system you have installed.

    If you have the perinstalled Os, it might be that you have Win2000.

    Win2000:

    Go to the control panel - display - Advanced control and then you could choose between video, color or television.

    The Brightess could be changed to energy-saving, because the brightness depends on your setting of power.
    Battery high brightness mode could reduce your battery power!

  • Satellite P850 - no internet connection to help to win 8

    Can someone help me?
    I have just upgraded to Windows 8 on my Satellite P850 and now, according to what I'm trying to do, it is sometimes said that there is no Internet connection.

    I certainly link strong, because it works very well in the new application of Internet Explorer, Norton 360 and Windows itself. But it won't work in other things on the desktop, such as iTunes, the Toshiba Upgrade Wizard, Internet Explorer on the desktop, Safari etc.

    Why is this? Of course the most important thing is the Toshiba Upgrade Wizard, but that's not very far because she needs an Internet connection.

    Please help as soon as POSSIBLE. If you need additional information, let me know.

    Hello

    This happen using LAN or WLan?
    If you have problems with internet using WiFi, I recommend that you check the connection to the local network.

    In addition, you must make sure that your software installed and other affect t tools don with that 8 to win in some cases it could be a problem software that are not compatible with Win 8 preinstalled.

    I also see that you have Norton installed check if installed security tools don t affect the internet connection!

  • Satellite L50 - A - 16 H - "metered" WLan to help to win 8

    Hello.

    I would like to ask for help on this problem I have. 1.5 months ago.
    I bought the Toshiba Satellite L50 - A - 16 H, everything worked perfectly except sometimes the wireless internet.

    I could live with that, but since a week now, I can not access the internet at all.
    I can connect to a wireless network, but it still says "limited connection" (or "m" in my language, I don't know how it is in English).

    I tried it at home or at school, my internet was not working in these two places.

    I use windows 8 and I've updated my nVidia Driver right before that this problem started to occur.

    Greetings WhoCarrot
    PS Sorry for my bad English.

    > I use windows 8 and I've updated my nVidia Driver right before that this problem started to occur.

    I put t see a link between the nVidia display driver and Wlan functionality so I n t think that this update might affect the WLan.

    Fact is that this Satellite supports an Intel WB222 (802.11 agn + BT) wireless network card.
    I recommend you update the WLan driver first.

    In addition, the Windows 8 was replaced by Win 8.1 and the free upgrade to win 8.1 is available in the Microsoft store. I recommend you to update the Win Win 8.1 8
    Install and update all the drivers for the Toshiba UE driver page and retest the WLan.
