Liquid fell on my Satellite M30x - now it does not start

Hey there,

yesterday, some orange juice fell on the side of my toshiba M30X laptop.
Immediately, he came out. I manipulated the laptop carefully, she held so that some of the juice could go out again, then I tried to dry near the heating.

Now: there's a light running, when I try to put it, but after 5 seconds it turns off again.
So is there anything I can do? Is is useful to try to get their hands on the hard drive?

I know it was my mistake with the juice, but I would be very thankfal for each tip that you can give me!

Thank you very much
Kurt

Something like that happened to my girlfriend some time ago.
She spilled a coke and the closed laptop.
It was not possible to turn on the laptop. I have noticed the same behavior.
The LED was on but the laptop didn't start up.

Finally, laptop technician found one of the memory modules was defective because of the liquid in the Bank of memory.

After the replacement of the laptop starts fine.

Maybe my story might be useful for you!

  • Satellite Pro 6100 system does not start

    Hi people,
    I have the following problem. I used my laptop long enough for thet to deplete battery and the device to go into hibernation. Given the againm battery costs, I tried the system and now it does not start.
    The leds light up fine and stay lit upwards. Just nothing happens, the FN key works. After a minute the fan will start to turn upwards and turns down again. But nothing else.
    After some time, by pressing the power button for a few seconds seems to start the machine, but it stops immediately after 30 seconds. Even if doing a memtest.

    anyboy has any idea what could cause this. I tried to remove the hard disk and start it does not affect what anyone, as does move the RAM module in the other slot. Also remove the CD/RW drive does not affect it. Remove the battery and start also give the same result.

    Hello

    Sorry, but tells you don't know is not enough for me.
    If you start Notepad, you see something on the screen?
    A Toshiba start screen appear?

    You suggested that the FN key works. Have you checked it in windows?
    AFAIK the FN keys can work only if the operating system has been launched and the drivers have been loaded. So my strange question.

    The whole thing is very strange. If nothing is displayed and the laptop cannot start, so I guess a hardware malfunction. But you know without any trial it s not easy to say what's wrong.

    Try to disconnect the laptop from the sector and remove the battery. Wait several times (30 min - 1 hour) then plug the AC adapter and try to start it.
    If it won't work and you know that other devices are ok such as RAM or HARD drive so I think that the technician must check the machine.

  • Open my laptop, now it does not start

    Hi everyone, the first time poster.

    I opened my laptop (touchsmart tm2 1070ca) to attempt to clean the keyboard and now it does not start at the top.  all the LEDs light up, but the caps lock LED flashes.  The fans and hard drive look about 2 seconds before silence, and about 10 seconds later, the laptop beeps loud and then stops.

    When I opened upward, the touchpad is detached from the motherboard. I finally get it reconnected, but it turned out to be very difficult.

    I tried the Bios recovery suggested on the support site, but it had no effect.

    any help would be massively appreciated.  no no not my laptop will really make my life difficult.

    I know this is an old thread but since there was no solution, I felt should display what has worked for me, in case someone else has this problem.

    This morning my computer refuses to start and the caps lock blinked. I've read elsewhere that a user of a model different from simply removed HP sound CD ROM and re-inserted. My laptop is a HP tm2 Tablet PC, so it doesn't have a removable CD ROM, but I was wondering if another device had become "loose". First, I removed the dongle USB for my mouse and battery and then restarted. That did not help so I forced a stop down (press the power switch.) Then, I opened the background panels and reinstall the RAM (actually happened two sticks to make sure) and removed and re-inserted the HD then restarted again. I don't know which of these factors did the trick, but it worked.

    Hope someone finds this useful info.

  • Satellite A300-15 a does not start after the installation of the alcohol program

    Hello...

    Satellite A300-15 has, I bought yesterday and after completing the installation of Vista, I tried to install "Alcohol" but my judgment of the laptop and now I'm not able to boot up the laptop.
    It does not start in any mode.

    I forgot to make recovery disks. I think that alcohol is not compatible with Vista. Error I get is below.

    Can someone tell me the solution?
    Please help urgent

    "A problem has been detected and Windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
    If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps: blah blah... "

    Looks like a problem familiar to me, as I had the same one with the Daemon tools. After installing these tools, I couldn't start my Windows XP. I guess that it somehow mixed upwards of some drivers or registry entries, but not sure about that.

    OK, you can try to uninstall tool first start Vista in safe mode (press F8 before Windows starts upward).
    You should then be able to enter in Vista without problem.

  • Satellite A200-24 b does not start

    I got my A200-24 b for almost 2 years now and the problem I have is driving me crazy.

    My laptop does not start at times. All the LEDs come, this Satellite down left indicator as well. But there is nothing on the screen.
    Doesnt matter what operating system I use, and I even tried to install the latest version of the BIOS. Nothing.
    I see the drive hard led flashing, and I can even hear the Vista startup sound.
    I have to turn it off manually by pressing the manual power button. Even this doest work sometimes. I remember the until routine start-stop 10 times.
    The problem is that Windows 7 will automatically repair mode. This never happened with vista.
    I even tried to change the memory chips live in vain.

    Will you please keep in mind what is happening randomly and I was not able to recognize a pattern.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    Its still under warranty.

    > Its still under warranty.
    Can you see Toshiba welcome screen or enter the BIOS settings?
    In my opinion you should not play with it. Put original Toshiba recovery DVD and install recovery image, if possible. Test it with the factory settings and if there is some problem of nearest service contact and let them repair your laptop.
    Satellite A200 is not latest model laptop, and I can imagine the warranty is valid for the next months only.

  • Satellite A300 - rotates but does not start

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A300. I had several probems for the boot since 2 months ago: when I want to turn on my laptop, it turns on but the screen keeps black and it does not load the screen "Toshiba Leading Innovation". 'Satellite' (to the left of the mouse) light is on (it would go only about a second then to start and then turn off) and it will turn off.

    I try again for so many times with all the possibilities: without battery, only with the power adapter, two, but it does not start. I don't know what I can do. I always Hibernate my laptop because I'm afraid of can not start it the next day.

    Could you help me? If she cares: I had to buy a new battery (not original from Toshiba) because I had to change the original. No more changes to my laptop.

    Thank you very much and sorry for my English written: S

    Diego

    Hey Buddy,

    > I had to buy a new battery (not original from Toshiba) because I had to change the original. No more changes to my laptop.
    Of course, it s always advisable using Toshiba original spare parts only, but if you notice the same problem with AC adapter only it s not related to the new battery.

    Just to make a better diagnosis: If you have connected an external monitor? The internal display is perhaps the problem and doesn't turn on and it would be useful if you are testing the situation and an external monitor.

    But this noise as a hardware problem serious and in this case, you can wait to contact an authorized service provider. Technicians professional diagnostic tools to make an accurate diagnosis and to Exchange defective equipment parts.

  • Satellite A200 - support Button does not start when windows starts

    Hey,.

    Today, I decided to disable unnecessary programs as many as I could (to speed up my pc), so I went to Msconfig (I have vista home premium 32-bit) and a lot of things off. Including the "toshiba button support. The next time I restarted my additional buttons on the top of the keyboard all worked, next to one. Who normally turn on windows media player. This time, he did nothing at all. Game/resume, stop, forward, back and button internet all worked without problem.
    However, I really liked the WMP button, so I tried to find out what the problem was. I discovered that it was the support of the key, so I decided to reactivate it.

    However, this didn't not help: (.) I turned it in msconfig, but it does not start with windows more: (.) I know this is the program that I need, because when I run the program manually (this is the program: programfiles/toshiba/TBS/HSON.exe) the button works.
    I put a V in front of the msconfig program, but it does not work. Anyone has an idea why not?

    Edit: I found a solution, even if not the best. If anyone still has the same problem:
    I made a shortcut for the program to run (can be found in C:programfiles/toshiba/SCT and is called HSON.exe). Then I clicked start and said 'all programs', here I chose the "opstarten" folder, it comes to the Dutch version, but my guess is it's called something like 'start-up' in English. In this regard, I glued (copy / cut-> paste) the shortcut to the program, and now he begins again :)

    Hello!

    I agree with Akuma. You should try to reinstall the Toshiba value added Package. This determines media keys FN and all special functions on the laptop buttons.

    Try this:

    -Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter.
    -Press the power button / stop along 30 sec
    -Connect the battery and AC adapter to the laptop
    -Try to turn on the unit.

    If this fails, check the memory modules.
    Remove a module and try to start Notepad using a single module. Run the test for each slot and the module.

  • Satellite L50-A-160 does not start after the Bios Update

    Hi, first of all, this is first post.

    I have 2 satellite L50-A-160 with bios 1.1

    Problem: seems to go to sleep after a few minutes, even working on them (even with both)

    So, I found an updated version 1.9, downloaded and running on one of the laptops. the biosupdate tool found matching the BIOS and a race.
    In the middle of flashing, he fell asleep. turned on and not start. What can I do? Recovery options? I guess the same thing will happen with the other too...

    What is the problem with these computers?

    Besides; very poor battery, always shows 0% available and not charging...
    Does anyone have a solution?

    Best regards
    -always in the hope.

    Have you tried to change in Power Options?

    See screenshot and try to change the ones I marked (it can refresh the settings, just change the values) and see if this solves the problem.

    and for the other laptop with no boot, a laptop sleep by updating the bios will surely mess it.

    what I don't understand is why your sleep laptop BIOS update, as far as I know the sleep settings is active then on windows (since this is controlled by windows)
    He does not sleep while in the BIOS you leave 1 year, sleep settings active only after loading windows.

    have you tried to check the time of processor for your laptop? Maybe its overheating causing auto-off
