• Satellite 1800-100 won't start with new memory

  My satellite s1800-100 won't start although my new memory (2nd) module is 128 MB PC100.

  I have Samsung samsung K4S281632C-TC1H module as PC100 (128 MB) memory on SLOT 1 by default.

  Although all of the features and form factors are clean, why not my Satellite S1800-100 starts? I checked the new (slot 2) memory works fine and tested OK.

  So, is there as a possibility to have a problem in the 2 Slot? Or is associated with failure of the BIOS? (there is no more recent BIOS, current is 2.20 for Satellite S1800-100).

  I am disappointed. I bought a new 128 MB PC100, to insert it in the slot 2, my Toshiba didn't boou up!.

  Important note: if I connect the new memory I bought yesterday, works very well in Slot 1.

  Please help and understanding.

  Kind regards...

  Hello

  Well, it very difficult to say why it won't start.
  I think that there are several possibilities:

  (1.) you used a bad module
  (2.) the second Bank of the Board of Directors has a malfunction
  (3.) the laptop does not support max 256 MB of RAM

  I think that point 1 and 3 is not relevant because you have tested the module and it worked on the first location. Additional the laptop should be able to handle 2 x 256 MB memory, so you should be able to use 2 x 128 MB

  I think that the second ram location may have a malfunction.
  Please check the second slot with a module of memory.

  The second possibility is to use exactly the module which is recommended by Toshiba.
  As I remember it s PC100 128 MB (PA3005U) SDRAM

• Satellite 1800-400 does not start, or crashes after upgrading RAM

  I have the original configuration of RAM for the S1800-400 with 120 MB. I bought a 256 MB RAM with the following description: EXT256-3069/JR, MEM 256 MB RA Toshiba Satellite PRO 4600 series C650, PIII-7500/750/800 #PA3069U (I think the brand is Transcend).

  When I put this slot in the machine, keeping the original and start the computer, it does not start, either on the initial screen of freezing before downloading anything either or that goes to the screen where you can start it in safe mode, but then it does not start.

  I removed the new RAM and it works well again.

  What can be the problem:

  (1) is this new RAM is not compatible with the computer? Based on the selections of the internet service provider, it should be (it's a Portuguese company with their own memory configuration options).

  (2) the computer can work with the original 120Mo and the new 256 MB, or should it be both the same size/brand?

  (3) is there any other problem that I don't have?

  Hi Ricardo

  I agree with feliks.
  The module is not compatible and not taken in charge can be responsible for your problem.
  The best way is to use the Toshiba recommended of the memory modules.

• Satellite P300-156 won't start or by MAIL

  Hello

  I have a Satellite P300-156 I bought a few months as damaged. The screen has been damaged and the case slightly cracked. I replaced the screen and hard drive and main card seems to have no physical damage. I've been running this system for 3 months now without any problem but, today, for some reason, it won't start or even POST. It powers on and the CPU fan starts to turn then stops and does nothing. No display (I tried external). CD player works. No beeps.

  I tried reinstalling RAM even open completely and reinstalling all connections, nothing done. Does anyone have an idea what component is gone? (CPU/GPU/RAM)

  Any help would be greatly appreciated

  Thank you

  Did you update the BIOS or something?
  For me, this is a normal behavior when the BIOS chip is faulty.

• Satellite L30 PSL33E won't start at all - the LED blinks 6 times

  Hello

  My poor mother is quite upset! Its Satellite L30 PSL33E just died.

  It completely off and now won't start at all.
  Orange light flashes six times when you press the power button.
  No hard drive, fan, screen or any other noise / activity.

  She tried without the battery.

  A kind of hardware failure, I guess.

  Any ideas what this blink code means?

  Thanks in advance,
  D.

  I put t know what the code means, but you can read it. short means 0 and 1 long

  In any case, the error code means that a hardware failure has been detected on the motherboard and motherboard replacement could help you?
  Why?

  because what is really hard to fix a motherboard for laptop very s.
  It especially not possible if you n t s have sufficient knowledge, experience, and special tools.

  I think that either you contact the ASP in your country and ask a difficulty or you'll have to buy a new laptop ;(

• Satellite Pro 2100 won't start at all - LED flash

  My SP2100 began to have feeding problems and now won't start at all. The AC adapter green LED is lit, that are relevant lights on the body of the laptop (although the "battery charge" light always orange these days). When I try the switch on, startup begins (in fact succeeded on occasion until this morning), however the battery indicator and the adapter lights are flashing, and everything stops again.

  On the rare occasions when I'll be past this stage, lights blinking, and the system soon shuts down again with a screen message "low battery." Until this morning, he would sometimes settle, the computer remained on, and the lights showed a State of equilibrium as usual.

  Initially I thought that the problem was of course the battery or the AC adapter, but now I'm starting to think that it is with internal PSU of the laptop (although I suspect the battery is probably tour after all this part of loading and unloading).

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  I think you're right. Flashing LEDS are a sign that hardware is defective.
  I can't say what exactly is the problem, this should be verified by a technicain.
  On the other side I don't know if it's worth to repair such an old machine.

  Good bye

• Satellite L300 intermittently won't start not

  My Satellite L300 intermittently does not start.

  When trendy DC, light power plug is green, when you press power button / stop power light is Orange boots for 3 seconds with fan started done 2 short beeps and then the fan stops and no other shoe.
  turn off the DC supply then plug again before may give him another chance.

  This can happen up to 20 times, sometimes around 3 or 4 attempts.
  When he wants to finally go, pressed power light power button green and all is OK.
  That means the light Orange?

  I checked for dust in the fan, used another power supply, tried friends memory and hard drive.

  The problem can occur every day, or every day.

  I left the battery in case it appeared the problem, the battery will not hold a charge very long.
  I would be grateful of any advise

  kevsim

  > That means Orange light?

  If power light flashes orange, it indicates the power was cut off, while the computer was in mode 'sleep'.
  But in your case I n t think that the laptop enter mode 'sleep' in your case, the power LED flashes means a hardware problem may be detected

  Perhaps your motherboard is affected

• Satellite L40 - 14N won't start, if I install two 2 GB memory modules

  Computer won't start, if I install two modules of 2 gigabytes RAM, I can install vista 64 on this computer to overcome this problem, have updated bios.or is there anything else I can do.it also won't work if I put a 2 and a 1 GB of ram in.

  Any help would be apprecated

  mayala

  No, Vista 64 bit will not solve your problem. The fact is that this model of laptop only supports a maximum of 2 GB of Ram in total. For example, you can use one of your 2GB memory module.

  If you do so, laptop will start again.

• Satellite Pro P200 won't start

  I have an old 1 week per Satellite Pro P200, it turns off when I was just in the start menu, so I was not doing something out of the norm (power cable is plugged). Since then it just won't turn.

  With the connected power cable I have an electric blue, power battery and light (although attempts to restart about 2 the battery light was red, but now blue). The drive light flashes for about 3 seconds each time I try to start and I can hear something happening inside the machine, but after only 3 seconds... nothing, completely dead.

  I tried to remove the battery, wait 20 minutes or more and none of it worked. Anyone have any ideas?

  Seems to be definitely a hardware problem... very bad :(
  Why you visit your dealer for new laptop and ask for Exchange.
  Maybe the dealer will exchange the laptop with a new.

  If this isn't the case, then you must contact the service provider authorized in your country for assistance.
  If you have purchased an extra service on the spot then the technician you will visit at home and will try to solve this problem.

  Good luck

• Satellite Pro A10 won't start HARD drive

  I have a Satellite Pro A10 that is not responding. If I have the connected HARD drive I get a ' insert System Disk... "message, I checked the HARD drive with a 2.5" USB connector in another computer and it seems OK.

  The laptop, I cannot change the boot order to select CD-Rom so that I can try the recovery disks. I can't get into the BIOS, but the Boot Priority option is not selectable.

  Any help appreciated.

  Especially this error message appears because the Middle starts not able.
  You insert a boot able CD?

  Try this: connect the computer laptop HARD drive to a USB adapter and try to format the whole HARD drive.
  Then put it in the laptop, insert the bootable CD and try to boot from the drive.
  As mentioned you could press the C button immediately after you start the laptop

• Satellite A500 - Windows won't start, how to get back now?

  Hello guys,.

  Recently, a week, I bought a new Satellite A500 - 1HK. I installed everything and after I installed Office 2007, after restarting my PC put on the Windows 7 Logo. PLS, please note that at this time one had a connected external HARD disk. It was my first mistake.

  My second mistake was that after 5 minutes of inactivity, I turned off my PC (no closures) and that's it. My PC has crashed completely.

  My third mistake was that I did not since the recovery disks, and unfortunately I don't have the recovery CD. The recovery program his on a partition separate from my laptop. I tried to solve the problem as follows: I start the PC, press F8 and I went into the repair menu. The first time after the repair, nothing had happened. After that, I tried to go to the recovery option. I choose the American language and press ENTER. Nothing had happened. the screen displays an error saying: you must login to access the System Recovery Options. If you encounter problems to connect, contact your administrator to the computer for help. Click ok to restart the computer.

  The only thing I can imagine is that the recovery partition crashed also. What can I do now? I ordered alrweady the Toshiba restore CD and waits for the next 2 weeks.
  What is your opinion. That's happened? I hope that the rexcovery program will work with CD and I don't face any problem, no more.

  Thank you.
  Leonardos

  Hey Buddy,

  > I have ordered alrweady the Toshiba Recovery CD
  So in my opinion, your question is already answered. Juice wait the Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings.

  If work HDD recovery doesn't, your only option is the Toshiba recovery disc and now it s time to wait. I m you will get the disk as soon as possible.

  Good luck! :)

• Satellite A100: Windows won't start no-Unmountable Boot Volume

  My son has a Satellite A100 under Windows XP SP3. Windows is not going beyond the Windows logo screen and ends with a Unmoutable Boot Volume + message.

  After what has happened, the status of the disk in the BIOS password is + HDD password frozen +. Note that the HARD drive does not have a user defined password.

  What is happening here and how is it fixed?

  Can you start laptop in safe mode with F8?
  The HARD drive password is strange to me.

  In this situation what you can try is to start the repair console in the Windows XP installation disc and try to fix it. Problem is that Toshiba computers laptops come with recovery discs only.
  Try to get the installation of Microsoft WXP disc and try with this repair option.

• Satellite Pro 4600 won't start

  I have a Satellite Pro 4600 w / Win2000, 15 GB HD, CD-ROM, P3 800 Mhz, 128 MB of RAM. It will not start. I can plug in the power cable and the lights show the battery is loaded or loads, the power is connected. When I press the button I get no sound from the laptop (no fans or HARD drive) and there is nothing from the HARD disk (no light whatever it may be), but the "On" indicator light turns green even if nothing else happens. Someone at - it an idea what could be wrong with that, and if/how I could fix it?

  Thank you, Adrian

  Hi Adrien,.

  As a first step to diagnose your problem, I suggest you to unplug the unit from AC power and also remove the battery completely. Reconnect AC power and try to turn on the unit. If it works then stop it and reinstall the battery and try to turn on the unit again.

  If the procedure above does not solve your problem, then it is likely that there is a problem with the internal components of your laptop in which case you will need to be serviced by an authorized Service partner.

  Kind regards
