Portege M100 does not start - power light flashes orange

Hi all

I have a Portege M100.
Since ysterday, the computer does not boot. When I push the power button, I hear the noise of the fan starts working, but nothing else happens. The power light continues to blink in orange.
I removed the battery and tried to turn on the computer with the AC adapter is plugged in, but nothing changes.

Any ideas on what could be the problem? I would appreciate help,
Thanks in advance

Hi mate,

could possibly be the RAM, so please check the RAM modules and remove 1 module if you have 2 of them installed.
Otherwise, I check if some another module of RAM is available and install the module of well known work. If this is not sufficient then I strongly recommend you to bring your machine to a service partner chartered for a balance of health/repair of equipment.

Please give some information about your situation...

P.S.: you can try to remove the battery and AC and leave the machine without power for about 24 hours. Maybe it helps?

Welcome them

    Generally, the power led will blink due to a malfunction of the equipment.
    The LED provides a microcode and only the technician can read this code.
    A common user is not able to read.

    Maybe you'll be able to read this code, but you won't find any description about the meaning of the code.

  • Tecra 9100 does not start, power light flashes

    My tecra 9100 is boot is no longer, when I press the button works / laptop acts although it will start up (only for a second sheet) but instead completely stops and the light starts flashing in a sequence of (short 2, 1 x long, 2 short, 2 long, 1 short).

    Hi Thibault

    I'm afraid that there is a problem with the electronic board. When the power led is flashing, it sends the hex code. This code should help technicians to see what the problem is with the laptop.

    Only thing you can do is remove the battery and try to boot up your laptop. I don't think this will help, but you can try. If the same thing occur, you must contact services partners in your country and ask for help. Sorry! :(

  • Qosmio F20 won't start - power light flashes orange

    My Qosmio F20-149 crashed yesterday and I was not able to get it working again. When I try to turn it on, the power light flashes on and outside (on: 1 sec, off: 1 sec) and the cooler fan operates at full power. When I press a key, there is a genre or a sound error. otherwise no reaction of the laptop; even the CD player does not open.

    I did no RAM-implementation to date, and I use the original power supply Toshiba. I tried from the laptop using only the battery, only power and on both. No change in the reaction. I tried all possible combinations (with a free one, both... etc) of my two cards, RAM (512 + 512) and still no use.

    I am really puzzled.

    If I understand you just your laptop sends a blink code. Copy the following code appears so laptop has detected a problem with the electronic power supply.
    In this case, there is nothing that you can do and the laptop must be sent to the service provider allowed the closest.

    They have manuals containing instructions and the exact description of the code how do I solve this problem.
    Sorry, buddy, but I do not think that anyone here can offer an accurate diagnosis for that matter.

  • Re: Portege M100 - does not start, second orange flashing LED

    My trusty M100 has developed a serious boot problem. It will not run games just the bios the second (on/standby) LED flashes orange and throw the fan. The RAM and CMOS battery tested OK (of a 2nd machine). By pressing ESC, F1 or F12 just gives a beep. No way to access the Bios Setup. All thoughts

    Hey,.

    Nice work you have tested other RAM modules in your laptop Portege because that would be my first suggestion other testing modules RAM :)

    In my opinion it s a serious as the motherboard or the CPU but without diagnosis hardware malfunction special tools it of not possible to say more on this subject in particular on this virtual path. If you need to contact an authorized service provider and ask for help. The guys have good diagnostic tools and can help you get rid of this.

    If you don t know where the closest to the ASP's, take a look at the Toshiba page!

    Hello

    What laptop do you use?

    Seems the laptop provides a blink code. This means that a material error has been detected.
    Usually short blinking means 0 and a long time means 1.
    The authorized technician must be able to read such a code and to locate the hardware failure.

    Above all it s something wrong on the motherboard!
    Then I n t think you will be able to fix it. This is not possible if you have no experience and the right tools and parts of s.

    So in my opinion, you must contact the ASP in your country for assistance!

  • Satellite 1800-712 does not start - DC IN flashes orange

    Hi all.

    My toshiba laptop Satellite s1800-712 has suddenly stopped working. Whenever I try to turn it on, I get the following blink code that repeats on the DC-IN power icon.

    The icon flashes orange in the following diagram. 1 short, 1 long, short 5, 1 x long. Anyone know what this means?

    If it helps, I use a TPA90DC APC travel power adapter PSU (as my original toshiba one broken. The APC unit is located at 15V.

    I think it's a hardware failure, but that's all that can be easily fixed? I opened the laptop a few times to replace the CPU and clean, but I don't think that the fault is negligence on my part because I always open it in an antistatic environment. To be honest, this laptop to cost me too much money in modernization and if this fault is something that requires expensive repairs, I can just sell it for parts.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Hi Mary,

    The blink code is used to locate the real failure so that the repair technicions knowing where to start checking for problems. Unfortunately these codes are published not generally then I suggest that you call a Toshiba authorized repairer and ask their opinion on fault. This way you do not have to engage in costly repairs until you know how much they are likely to cost.

    Kind regards

  • Portege R100 does not start

    Can someone help me please. My Portege R100 does not start, when I turn the following text appears: in touch with tomorrow toshiba. After a few seconds a black screen with a blinking cursor on the left side of the screen.

    Thank you very much

    Hi Rehana,

    The Toshiba screen you will see first is the initial start screen is displayed while loading the BIOS. Once the BIOS has completed its process of loading, the system tries to boot the operating system and it is at this point that you have found the black screen with the blinking cursor in the upper left.

    Unfortunately, this indicates usually that the laptop can not load the operating system from the hard drive, or because the hard disk itself has not the contents have been damaged somehow.

    You might try to charge your laptop in 'safe' mode (press F8 during the initial loading of the BIOS) or you can try to boot your laptop from a bootable CD/DVD and hard drive.

    Finally, you can try to re - install your OS from the recovery CD.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite 2805-S201: AC power light flashes orange 8 times

    Hello

    I worked on a Satellite 2805-S201 and everything was fine until I put a PCMCIA wireless with 3, 3V power.
    After that, the AC power light flashes orange 8 times and recycle.

    It comes with power supply, battery, AC and no battery installed, etc. If I pull out the power plug and the battery and then put both when AC is green and the battery may charge. As soon as I push the power button, I hear a light click on the right side of the device and then it goes into the amber cycling power.

    Bulletins of support mentioned that the card could get damaged, but did not mention the unit itself.
    No, the PCMCIA card is not always connected

    Any thoughts?

    CA

    Hello

    The flashing provides a micro code which refers to the hardware failure.
    But please don't ask me what might mean this code because in my opinion, only an authorized service provider can be read and can check in his manuals and documentations.
    But it is of course, in most cases, it s a hardware problem of motherboard! ;(

    Perhaps the external PCMCIA card was not totally compatible and damages of something on the map but it's only my personal suggestion to ensure what s bad hardware fault diagnosis would be necessary.

  • Portege 2010 does not start-> white screen

    Hello

    I need help because my 2010 does not start. When I press the power button, the power light turns on but I get nothing on the screen.

    He worked when my brother used it until the mouse has frozen and then turns off. He then lit it back in which case only the power led came up with nothing on the screen.

    The hard drive was clicking while it worked so I don't have a gut feeling that hard must the disc are dead and causing the cell not to return as when I power it on I get no hard drive light shape or sound the HDD at all.

    Even I get nothing on the screen. Not even the Red sign boot Toshiba. So, it's worry in me as well.

    Thank you, Claude

    Hello

    I put t think it is a HARD drive problem.
    If the HARD drive is dead, you will receive a message on the screen saying that the laptop is not able to find a boot device.

    If the Toshiba start screen does not appear I think that it s something wrong with the motherboard. I guess that the graphics card is dead. But to be 100% sure, verification is required.
    In my opinion, you should ask a partner or a technician for assistance.

    What do you mean with 8 signals?

    Audio (beep) and visual signals (flashing LED)?

    I assume you noticed flashing signals. Am I right about that?

    Hey Buddy,

    If you want to have XP only, try to boot from a XP disc. You can format the drive HARD whole with XP disc that even Ubuntu is installed. I put t understand why you use another program to format the HARD drive

    Then boot from a XP disc and follow the instructions on the screen. If it doesn't work, it seems to be the material of your player to malfunction.

  • Product is complete recovery - Toshiba Portege M300 does not start

    Hello.

    I have a Portege M300 Toshiba I got again in 2006. It has progressively slower over the years, so yesterday, I thought I would use the product recovery CD to reinstall the factory settings.

    Put the CD in restarted with F12, selected CD player, follow the instructions on the screen, he went through unpacking process... but once completed and handed over to market get you the Toshiba welcome screen then it seems that it will start, but it blocks just with a white screen... nothing not even a cursor flashing.

    The hard disk does not even appear to be spinning?
    I tried this process now 6 times and I'm starting to pull my hair!

    Anyone got any ideas?

    > The hard disk does not appear still to be spinning?
    Well, it looks like a disc is defective.
    The blinking cursor is a typical sign of a malfunction of the HARD drive.
    I think that you need to replace the HARD drive and should reinstall the OS once more

    A defective processor can be repaired by a local PC store, but I highly recommend you contact the HP support by phone to see what options are available. HP repair center would be able to identify the appropriate components that will need to be replaced in the rare case that the test gave flashing evil code.
