Only upon restart, not when you turn it on: «No valid OS»

Hi people,

I just met a serious problem on my T61p running Windows XP SP2. When I turn (power down) my laptop and turn on again, I'm fine and everything works. When I reboot it once it was turned on, I get a black window of the BIOS error, saying: «No valid OS» Then it lists all the devices start and tells me, that it "cannot boot from any device. The problem is "solved" when I turn off the password HARD disk (I entered a master and a slave password) in the BIOS. I want to keep the encryption of the hard drive, so it's no good solution for me.

Do you have any advice for me, how to authorize my computer restarts again?

Thank you very much for your help!

It is an interesting problem. I searched a bit and found no other reports. Probably not so many people have drive "FDE" encryption, and maybe those that do, have not noticed the problem.

Have you tried to put your computer in standby mode and Hibernate? It can return with success these States?

You can try to update the BIOS:

I see nothing in the words FDE change log, but some of the messages are quite vague... allowing that a BIOS update may solve your problem.

Please let us know how it goes.

Good luck

Frank

  • Satellite A300 starts sometimes like when you turn it on

    Hey people,

    So my sisters laptop (satellite A300) was more than heating for basically since we bought it, but now I think that has caused a serious problem.
    Now it does not start at times like when you turn the backlight only market not even turn on.

    Hard drive does nothing basically nothing just the power light comes on it is all.
    But when I remove the charger and close the lid and open it again, wait like 2 minutes it magicly towers, so it's the startup problem.

    This may have something to do with it, but when you plug the cable that the tactile area (above the keyboard) lights up if laptops or disable but don't market not turn on if not plugged Chargers... also touch dosen't work area.

    So many things hope you understand all this, thank you!

    Hello

    I think that this is related to the problem of equipment; Maybe this problem of motherboard or power suply electronics problem.
    But that's just a guess and no one here will be able to say what's going wrong with your laptop until it has been checked by a technician.

    That's why I put t think you could solve this problem, install the new OS or new BIOS.
    I therefore recommend to request a laptop technician help and equipment to check.

  • Satellite Pro L500 stuck when you turn it on and got the loud noise

    I use Toshiba for a long time, this is my 3rd Toshiba laptop (I bought it in June 2010), today I bought the helmet, when I plugged it in, it did not work. (When I talk with my friend through sky, I use the laptop speaker instead) Then my friend got me to download a driver for the sound.

    After the download, the helmet worked perfectly. BUT the speaker on the laptop did not work. Then I restarted computer again and this time when you turn on, it's stuck. stop boot on Toshiba logo later process, there are peep sound (not speaker, he is very strong), I can hear it from the inside. I can't do anything else, JUST close.

    Please help or advise where can I take my laptop to the service because I think that if people reply to my post and I don't know if I can fix it myself.

    I'm going overseas week next to the presentation and need to use the laptop. Do you think that if I take the laptop to the center of toshiba, they immediately understand problems? I am now using my old toshiba, and it is slow to make any presentation.

    Hey Buddy,

    You use normal headphones with headphone jack or USB?
    Headsets with headphones are usually easier handling in my opinion.

    In any case, at the time where your computer laptop doesn't boot and stuck on Toshiba logo, right?
    In this case, you must remove the battery and the AC adapter at a time and test it again.

    Check this box!

  • Satellite A100 has sometimes unresponsive when you turn it on

    I have a computer laptop Satellite A100, Centrino Duo. Sometimes I have problem when you turn on the laptop. The computer stops responding while it is turned on and when I reboot without disk scan is started which is usual when windows does not start successfully.

    Sometimes the computer starts and I log in the system but then the screen turns white and even when no disk scan is started when I restart the system.

    Pls advise.

  • Tecra 9000 - no display on the LCD screen when you turn on

    I recently got a Tecra 9000 for cheap on eBay. I am experienced with the construction and repair of computers, but not so with laptops.

    The problem with this laptop, it's that do not display on the LCD screen when you turn on. It was just black, no backlight, nothing. I took the laptop all share, found no obvious problem. I had to turn it on and the screen lights up a few times trying to figure out the problem. Would it be a bad connection? Or something else?

    After getting it to start work, I'll try to start to put it back together and it stopped working again. I haven't not been able to reduce it to know if it's a bad connection or a card problem.

    Someone at - it suggestions? This is a problem for others here?

    As you describe the issue, I think it is somehow a bad connection or a damaged cable, because it does not work once you have disassembled the screen.
    Maybe you need to check all the cables, leading motherboard to the LCD and take a close look, maybe for a few scratches or strong curvature.

  • Stor.e TV + loader error keeps coming up when you turn it on

    I experienced ongoing problems accessing the hard drive. Error message "No Loader" keeps coming up when you turn it on.

    The so-called 'solution' to this problem on this forum is to open the box and play with the cables. While I had some success with this method initially, disassembly of the box 10 times a week is not on.

    In desperation, I tried something else.
    When the message no. Loader is in place, I pass in the box and the new on the remote control.
    After 2 or 3 times, and then the folder of the HARD disk appears generally.

    I did that constantly now with great success. However, this suggests that the error no. Loader is NOT a mechanical connector with the hard drive problem, but (as usual) poor software (what else?).

    Dismantling of the unit is shut down for an extended period of time so may explain why this technique works.

    Put the unit on and off the power several times also solves the problem of file D are not on the network even if Win7 shows shop-TV-Plus as a mapped drive on NTFS (but can not find the file D).

    See the resemblance?

    Another thing that exacerbates the problems is poor ventilation of the device. The first thing that happens with this device, it's rubber feet sticky garbage fall.

    While this may seem trivial, the ventilation slots are under the device and will be blocked if he has no feet. I live in a hot country so this appliance gets very hot and behaves even more erratic, unless it is well ventilated.

    Ideally keep well away from other units and preferably sitting it on a small box in itself with the vents in many exposed.

    I always also have problems to read files FLAC, MKV. The unit sometimes lost synch with files FLAC which generally play OK and crashes or causes a large noise or white noise on the speakers (dangerous).

    Some just MKV files play quite although VLC reads. There are many other inconsistencies, but these are more boring.

    Everyone knows these problems or someone at - it other solutions for these problems?

    I don't think we can expect another software upgrade from Toshiba? Your dreams, pal.

    I m not Stor.E + owner and can not say much about the issues mentioned, but the first sounds of mentioned problem (error no. Loader") for me much more like a hardware problem as a software related issue.

    Files mkv seems to be supported.
    The mkv must be encoded in H.264 and MPEG-4 format
    This is what I found on a Web page.

    In addition, there seems to be an update of the firmware
