Problem intermittent boot Tecra S2 after pressing the power button

Hi all
I have a Tecra S2 with the 6600go GFX card.
The machine is large but presents the following problem.

After that the machine was interrupted for a while it will start not reliable.
You press the power button. Either as soon as you release the power button or a second later (changes every time) the green power light comes on. The fan spins at high speed then slows down to a crawl a few seconds later (as usual) but LCD does not illuminate.
Also when it does not start USB devices are not initialized (I have a product key dongle which will flash if it is not initialized - when you start the laptop properly this dongle on continuous - a normal start, it is initialized before the ramtest BIOS)

I've updated the bios a couple of times - it is now 2.4 (I noticed the power button timings were changed in the V1.9) but this has not solved the problem.

I tried to start on the current with battery removed, ca battery & battery only - the result is the same.

I can start later button power until the laptop off, wait a few seconds and then try to get back to work.
After several of these cycles, it will begin eventually to the top. Recently, it seems that it took several attempts before start-up.

If I have used the laptop for an hour or two and then turn it off it will start almost always a first time.

If I put the laptop to sleep (orange slow flashing power LED) then half the time that it will continue when you press the power button - the other half of the power LED will switch to the green but the LCD display remains inactive & I switch the power button.

Any help or advice would be welcome.

Thanks in advance,
Robin

Hello

This seems very odd.
First of all: you can boot from USB only if the floppy drive is attached.
You can boot from these devices USB-drive floppy/disk HARD/ODD/LAN.

In my opinion the other unit starts the sound not as issues not a software problem.
I think there could be something wrong with the hardware. But it is not easy to say what it could be exactly.
You know, the look on the material is necessary.
I recommend you contact Toshiba service partner in your country.
They have much more experience in such cases. Guys can run tests and then can give you correct information about the failure.

  • Satellite A200 23W stop seconds after pressing the power button / stop

    Hello all :)

    I just bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A200 23W a few hours ago.
    I turn it on and let it complete the installation of Vista.

    After the installation of Vista finishing it asket to resturn laptop and from that moment, the laptop is "dead".
    After pressing on restart the computer (from Vista) computer turns off without problem, but he never did it again!
    After a few minutes of waiting, I tried to start it by pressing the power button.

    Now when I press the power button, I can hear the HDD work and most of the time until I see something on the screen of the laptop computer stops!
    Now, I noticed that both the battery indicator AND the DC IN light are hot flushing and stop Flash at times.
    Reading the manual, I guess that the DC IN indicator should Flash in all not well.

    I tried to uninstall the battery and try to start the laptop, but in this case I can't even listen to the HDD, commissioning!
    I try to unplag and replag (on the laptop as well as Jack) power cable but again no result.

    Any ideas of what past?
    Thank you very much

    I don't know what the problem is here and, in my view, should not be so important to you. Contact your dealer as soon as possible and to talk with him. Explain the situation. You will get may be new notebook. Otherwise, please contact the nearest authorized maintainer and let check your laptop.

    The laptop is brand new and it should work. Please do not wait too long.

  • Tecra 5200 - nothing happens after pressing the power button

    When I press the 'power' of my Tecra 5200 kids button nothing happens, only the front panel power led lights, but laptop does not start - in fact, nothing happens.

    Earlier, I lived as a result of problems;
    -the internal HARD drive didn't work, so I put the HARD drive in the Select Bay adapter and switched 2 hard drives (for each child 1 HDD with their own software / games)
    -computer had very hot on the surface (I had tried to open the computer and to clean inside, but it is still very warm)

    Now to my question.
    -If the computer does not start, is because of the HARD internal disk problem (found out once in awhile, he recognizes an old HDD, I had attached to internal port, otherwise the DVD player was not working)- and an easy repair is possible
    - or would it be possible that the CPU got too hot and bust, which means that I spend any money on the repair.

    I hope someone can help and give his opinion.

    > Toshiba guy;
    > Please publish guides on your website on how to open the 'old' notebooks, in fact no one would spend money to repair them.
    I agree with you. I don't think that someone will spend a lot of money to pay reparations for these old books.

    Hi @Swati_20,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    It's a great place to find answers and advice!

    You have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to draw your attention to the HP Guide's Forums:

    Learn how to post and much more.

    I understand that your Pavilion laptop not turn on.

    When I did a search with the product number, you provided I have no results.  Would you be kind enough to verify this information.

    How can I find my model number or product number?

    What operating system do you use?

    When you connect it to the power light on the power supply?

    Here is a link to the HP laptops - tests and using the AC adapter that can help.

    You can also try a hard reset.   HP - notebook computers use the hard reset to solve software and hardware problems

    Please keep me updated.

    Good luck!

  • Satellite A60 Shuts Down immediately after pressing the Start button / stop

    My A60 stops after 2-3 seconds when I press the power button to open the laptop. After pressing the power button, all the lights on, but until something appears on the screen, the computer cuts the power. Pleasure, DVD and disk hard audio work. At least, the sounds come from these materials. Also from the buttom of laptop, I see that the fan is running.

    This problem started anywhere Yesderday, I closed my laptop properly and carry my laptop to my friends. When I tried to open my laptop, this problem occurred and I could not open yet.

    I tried all combinations of use power supply and battery for power. Non of them works.
    Is there a had the same problem or have any diagonistics for this problem.
    Thank you

    Emrah

    Hello

    Try to connect the laptop to the external monitor to check if pictures or anything else appears on the second monitor?
    You can also try to use the FN + F5 combination to check if the display will change back to the internal display.

    But look, man, if you are not successful then I guess there must be a serious hardware problem and only the laptop technician might know what's wrong.

  • Satellite L550-1CW does not start by pressing the power button / stop

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L550-1cw that won't start, lights up when I press the power button all the lights at the front, the fan starts and he is looking for a HARD drive for about 2 seconds and then stops.

    I tried a new HARD drive, but the same happens.
    I was told that all this must be ignored and buy a new one that is not an option.
    I love this laptop and want to run again as this is the best I have ever owned.

    Help, please

    Andrew

    Can you give us more information on this vulnerability?
    You see something on the screen after pressing the power button?
    You can access the BIOS by pressing the F2 key immediately after switching on the device?

    Despite this whole issue, I think that if nothing is visible on the screen it could be a serious problem with one of the following: RAM modules, motherboard, CPU/GPU.

    From my experience the RAM memory modules are not very expensive (2nd hand might be good enough) and the replacement isn t very delicate in the case where the faulty memory causes this problem, the laptop could be set for a little money.

    But in case of problems of motherboard, laptop repair procedure could be very expensive.

  • Computer to close after pressing the close button in windows

    I had a problem for my computer to shut down after pressing the close button in windows. Windows starts to make the closing process as its suppose there just like the computer is supposed to to close it restarts. Its like I pressed the button instead of the button closure. Please tell me how to solve this problem, so I do not have the power button to get off the computer.

    What has not worked? What happened when you tried?

    Another suggestion, take a look in the system logs and errors and warnings and post here Event Viewer Application copies. Do not post on that more than 48 hours ago.

    You can access event viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel, administrative tools, and Event Viewer. When searching for the meaning of the error, information about the event ID, Source and Description are important.

    A tip for posting copies of error reports! Run Event Viewer and double-click the error you want to copy. You will see a button resembling two pages. Click on the button and close Event Viewer. This places a copy of the report to your Clipboard. Paste it into the body of your message. Make sure that it is the first dough right out of the event viewer.

    Hope this helps, Gerry Cornell

  • HP Slate 6, (problem: do not turn on the display, by pressing the power button once)

    A month ago, I bought the HP slate 6. The screen does not light by pressing the single time power button. But if I press the power button three times, then it lights. I also make sure that the switch has no problem. I think it's a software problem not hardware.

    Do not forget that I have improved my slate to kitkat. This problem alone caught up in not before Kitkat.

  • Two Macbook Pro, both does not start up, when I press the power button, I hear two disc bit Caryl, I see little light on the front on the displasy release button, black screen, no edge

    It was weird because I've NEVER had two computers have the same problem before. They are the model 2008 2.2 Ghz Core 2 Duo, 6 g of RAM, models of 128 GB of hard drive, the two Yosemite running, both had new hard drives, cables, batteries and RAM installed OWC (Apple approved reseller) and I use Macs for at least 20 years. In about a week, one just blacked out while sitting on my desk doing nothing, the other does the same on a week later. When I press the power button, I hear the drive hard hum twice, then all I get is the little light on the screen release button, that's all. Black screen. fails, nothing. I can press the power button and it will fit off the coast. Is it possible that some of them have infected somehow, or possibly send me the malware that has infected my system? I would not normally only, but for all of them to go down to one right after the other with the same problem just made me think, it must be the same cause, but what?  I had been in a war of fire recently with very ugly people, and I've never seen two Macs have the same exact problem in a row like that right.

    I took readers on the Macbook Pro, put them on sleds and threw them in my PowerMac, and both seemed fine, no problem, started well upward, ran utility disk on them, no problem, so I started to the checklist. Reset the PRAM. Nothing. SHIFT key at startup. Nothing. D at the start. Nothing. V order at startup. nothing. I wouldn't mind even their evisceration and making a portable useful with the parts of the two, but until I find out what the problem is, what can I do?

    If anyone has any suggestions, I would really appreciate it, I've supported every button I can think at the start, tried an inch USB key, boot and disk, this is the same Caryl bit both of the car, no chime, black screen, that's all.

    Thanks for your help.

    no chime, black screen, that's all.

    I don't think they are infected.

    The startup chime indicates that the Mac has made the initial diagnostic tests and there is no hardware problems or fundamental software.

    No edge in your case is a problem.  I think it's the luck of the draw to have 2 failures.

  • I can't start with Satellite P10 by pressing the power button more

    I can't start my Satellite P10 by pressing the power button more.
    Sometimes, very rarely its starts when I hold the power button for a while say 10 seconds.

    I tested the power supply and a battery to my friends P10 (of the same type) and both work very well.

    So it must be a problem with the key.
    No idea what to do?

    Thanks for any help

    The best.

    Tobias

    If it s a button or a power supply electronic problem, then you can't do anything.
    In this case assistance by the technicians of laptop would be necessary.

    But the next time that you should try this option if the laptop turns on not;
    Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter from the laptop for about 30 min.

    After this short period of time to reconnect the two parts and check if the laptop could start.

    Good luck

  • Lenovo Y40: Must only press the power button two times to turn on

    Hello

    A few months ago, I bought my Lenovo Y40 on the Lenovo Web site and recently, to turn on, I have to press the power button twice. When I press that once, the Lenovo logo is displayed on the screen, but after 2 seconds it turns off. On the second attempt, finally the laptop turns on and the windows is started.

    In addition, rarely the phone stucks on the lenovo logo screen, is necessary to contain the power to reset.

    Someone had some problems like these describe above?

    Thank you.
    Pedro Lopes.

    Hello

    I contacted Lenovo's Support and they recommended to perform a full recovery of the system. Apparently, it worked because I did not suffer these problems since I got windows. Probably, there was a problem with the partition that has been responsible for the initialization of the system.

    Thank you, Pedro h. Lopes.

  • Help - HP Pavilion a6030.uk desktop computer. Have to press the power button several times to start?

    Hello

    I have a HP desktop computer. The model is HP Pavilion a6030.uk, Opertating system: windows vista.

    My computer has had no problems at all until yesterday for some reason, I had to push the switch several times to start until he finally turned and did normal starts. As I would press the power as normal to start button, but all of a sudden, it turns off after about 2 seconds and so I would tap on the switch several times and each time it will not start and turn off, then the power button could be pressed again until it would finally turn on and start and run as normal and seems to work correctly. And it was the same thing today, I pressed the power button mutiple times (for example 6 times) until she finally started as usual.

    Savvy/computer im not very well informed or wise in this area, please someone will help me and give me some advice/help to fix/resolve this problem.

    Thank you for taking the time to read this and any help would be appreciated for this problem.

    Thank you.
