My Equium A300D freezes at BIOS

Someone help with this one?

My Equium A300d froze in the Bios boot screen. Finally, I have replaced the ram and hard drive but still the same problem. By trial and error I discovered that the problem was the dvd drive... Remove the system and it loads well, put in place in and from the gel to the bios!

I replaced the dvd drive wiith a new compatible drive but same result so assume the real hardware is not the problem then can only assume a motherboard problem?

Has anyone encountered this scenario? Thanks for the research.

It's really strange question. What version of BIOS is on your computer?

If I understand you well without ODD your laptop starts properly and preinstalled operating system can be loaded.

Have you tried to implement ODD when Windows is fully charged?

    Hello

    In most cases the BIOS beeps are the result of the problem of the motherboard.
    It is hard to say what role could be affected on the motherboard.
    But here is the page that provides some information on the BIOS beep codes:
    http://www.computerhope.com/beep.htm

    You don't have many options; what you can do is to test/remove the RAM.
    Maybe that RAM is defective otherwise it mother associated s pass and in this case the motherboard needs to be replaced.

    Hi Dan,.

  • Equium A300D-13 x - No battery is detected

    Hello

    Recently, I thought it would be time for me to buy a new laptop for my Toshiba Equium A300D-13 x from the current battery is so old, I get about 5-7 minutes to load off of him.

    So I looked online and shopped and the official Toshiba who were £140!, to remedy that I opted for a replacement which was about £20 (cheap).

    Anyway, the battery is the same exact battery toshiba model number official I have and that is the exact same voltage 10.8V. However the battery is not detected in the laptop?

    What is interesting is that the battery powers the laptop he just doesn't tell me how many remaining charge, I left. Also when it is plugged to the AC does not detect, it looks as if he is in charge the laptop as the clear meaning that the AC is plugged is on, and the battery indicator orange (charging)

    All I have this problem or know what I can do to fix this, as I don't have 140 pounds sterling to buy a new battery.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Have you had the same battery problems with the old, original battery?

    In my experience there are a several batteries 3 third-party but not all meet the standards even if the part number is the same

    But it seems that the battery is detected because the laptop can be powered on using the orange battery indicator battery energy you also show that the battery would be charged.

    However, I would recommend checking the version of the BIOS.
    My knowledge BIOS update might help to solve the problems with the battery.

    If it doesn't help you, I'd recommend testing other batteries that you can order directly from an ASP Toshiba in your country in this case you can be sure that your battery is compatible and works 100%.

    I replaced the hard drive and flashed the BIOS settings as advised by Toshiba Helpline but the problem persists.

    Help, please! because the "BEEP" is now getting on my nerves!

    See you soon

    Hi andrew_net82,

    It seems that the BIOS has detected an error with a certain part of material...

    Before doing something I recommend you load the default settings in the BIOS. If you are in the BIOS Setup, press the F9 key.

    If it doesn t work you need for professional assistance from an authorized service I think. Guys need to check which part of the material is defective and must be replaced.
    List of the ASP, you can find on the official website of Toshiba.

  • 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.

  • Equium A300D-13 X - no operating system found

    Hello

    My computer laptop girls has stopped working. I can't seem to repair/restore or anything. He always keesp to return to 'No operating system found' so what I need to know is what download anyone advise would be more appropriate for me to re install to laptop?

    The laptop is a Toshiba Equium A300D-13 X. It was running with Vista that was on it when buying 3 years ago but now no OS found.

    I hope you can help as tried all other options via F8, F12, F2 etc. don't keep a copy of the recovery disc either and only came with a recovery disk directly.

    Hi helen22,

    First of all, you should check if the HARD drive is always recognized correctly. That's why look in the BIOS (F2) Setup and make sure that it s listed there.

    If the HARD drive is recognized that you need to reinstall Windows. So you need the disk recovery Toshiba you had to create it yourself and that's the reason why the laptop didn't come with a recovery disk because you will have to do it yourself.

    In any case, now it s too late, but you can order a new disc here:

    I tried the usual stuff to go into Device Manager and uninstall control compliant apci and still he has not solved it self. I've also updated my bios to the newest one. I just wanted to know what could I do so I can see how much battery is left, and if the laptop can recognize I..

    Hello

    Is this a battery Toshiba of origin of an authorized service provider?

    Usually, the new battery should be detected after the first start, I recommend that you charge the battery while the laptop is turned off. Start the laptop with battery only and check if she recognized properly s.

    Hi Acorn1,

    Do you mean the internal mic of your laptop?
    If so, you must reinstall the driver for the webcam because the microphone is a part of it. You can get the driver on the Toshiba site.

    In addition, if your computer turns disable you in the BIOS:

    Hello

    If he worked several days ago then I guess this must be a matter of software
    I really put t understand what you exactly do but try to overthrow the BONE until the point of time at the beginning, when this sound function worked correctly.

    A question:
    Did you also check the sound settings in Device Manager?
    Select this check box.

    Go to devices-> sound Manager and check the second tab called record.
    There you have to right click and mark the two peripheral options see the disabled and do not show not connected peripheral.
    Then mark the new recognized audio devices and enable it.

    Further, you should try to update the BIOS because a lot of strange problems can be solved by the BIOS updated.

    My question is: the display of work in the A200 A300D?

    BTW the A300 fine output to an external monitor

  • Equium A300D - 16 c - display does not

    My girlfriend has an Equium A300D - 16 c which had some problems lately.

    In recent months, whenever she turns on the system, the display does not pull upwards and it takes several tent for lights.

    The strange thing is every time that happens, the system boots normally always that you can hear the Windows 7 startup sound.

    I'm looking for in this question for some time now and I'm running out of ideas.
    Initially, I thought that it could be a wiring problem but by stripping the laptop down, I found that the cable was still firmly in place.

    I also tried to remove the RAM, HARD drive and DVD drive, but it still doesn't pull upward. On the odd occasion she started upward when you do it, but after restart, it has not started again.

    I think that this could be either a transmitting power or the mother board is on its way. This problem has worsened gradually (it took more than 20 attempts it turn on and off this morning) so finally he come not at all.

    To clarify, the system will start after several attempts, but most of the time that the screen not turn on (not even the backlight). It works with an external display on the HDMI so the GPU works.
    I tried to keep the power with no energy source button to unload the system, but it does not help.

    I also noticed that if you hear it boot and close the cover, the reopening of the display lid will come on but with the bad (1024 x 768) resolution that has intrigued me even more.

    Any ideas on what could be the problem? I would repair it rather than just buying a new as its still a decent system apart from this problem.

    > To clarify, the system will start after several attempts, but most of the time that the screen not turn on (not even the backlight). It works with an external display on the HDMI so the GPU works.

    This means that you can use the laptop as part of the external screen, but it does not work with the internal screen?

    This means that the internal display module isn't OK. It probably needs to be replaced.
    But this does not explain the problems while turning on the laptop.

    In the worst case the mother for laptop AND the internal screen are affected, but it would be really strange and rare bad luck

  • Re: Equium A300D - 13 X - boot problem

    Hello

    I can't initialize problem. Powers of phone on ok, with a few flashes of HARD drive as it tries to start. But no sounds other than the kick, fans have tried all the usual things like FN/F8 to enter safe mode, also cold start battery and network opens. Power button down for an all black screen minute etc etc, but still no screen or emits a signal. I suspect a power supply problem and have tried with different loader but no effect. Laptop is a 4 year old Toshiba Equium A300D - 13 X everything worked fine but I recently renewed keyboard, screen bezel, Mo media Ribbon, power/Ribbon button, Mo.

    I thought I might have left some cable detached so all reopened and checked, but everything is correctly fixed I think.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks Bob.

    Hello Bob

    It is not easy to be objective with this problem. On one side you have disassembled your laptop on your own and we don t know if everything was done correctly. I m also not technician and each laptop disassembly has been a success.

    I put t really know what to say. Try to talk with someone who can help you with this and check if everything is OK. Small error as causing electrical circuit can damage the electrical components of the motherboard. Try to check the display cable connection.

    Have you tried to connect the laptop to the TV and check if all come to this?

  • Windows installation interrupted as Equium A300D stops itself

    Hi all

    I've had my Toshiba Equium A300D for 2 years now. Meanwhile, it works normally, sometimes stops himself maye because it was too hot.

    Recently, he tried to install updates to Windows Update, but never successful. I left the computer to update all night and there was 2 of 12 updates... all the time so I always had to shut down the computer by pressing the power button.

    I was unable to change the setting to update Windows automatically, because every time I tried to do it froze. Most of the other commands became even viewing photos that do not meet.

    It was until my computer could not connect to a certain wireless network, while other devices may I decided to reinstall Windows completely. He was installing normally but it got too hot and the computer closes again!

    I tried to install again and he was arrested again, but I got up in the final phase of the game when I turned it on again, it was always 'finihing the installation may take several minutes. lease do not interrupt or shut down the computer. Let him over several hours, but he did not move to a different stage. Before the computer shuts down, I think I arrived at the scene after that.

    I tried to press F8 to start a new installation, but he's only got in this screen.

    What can I do?

    Please help me! Thank you very much in advance!

    I am in Germany at the moment, but I live and I bought this computer from the United Kingdom.
