Qosmio F10-100: startup problem - the system protection failure

• Qosmio G40 - ALERT: System Protection failure

  I used my Qosmio G40 - Vista with no problems since I bought it in November 2007.

  A week ago, he started acting funny. Whenever I turn it on, I get a black screen with the following message:

  ALERT: System Protection failure
  Password =

  Now need a password...
  I had never put no password to the BIOS level, or the level of Windows, so there is no password I could enter.
  So I'm stuck, because the laptop does not accept the ENTER key without any password entry.
  I also tried standard passwords like "Toshiba" nothing helps.

  Can someone help me with this issue?

  Best regards.

  Hello

  To me, it seems that you are talking about BIOS password.
  First of all; There is no default password BIOS.

  I have no idea why the laptop asks you a BIOS password if you didn't put in the past, but the point is that it s is not possible to delete or modify the BIOS password without knowing the old password.

  In this case only the Toshiba ASP may be able to remove the password.
  So I have no other recommendation on contact an ASP in your country and by asking guys to remove the password.

• F10-100 what is the difference?

  Hi people.

  I bought a F10 - 100 renovated in the United Kingdom, but I realized that most of the models there are the F10-125 +.

  Does anyone know what are the differences (separate) beteew these modles and mines. its just curious im asking because I want to know (what) my F10-100 is missing!...
  I purchsed a F10 (CRRAP) models? Should I go out just splash and return on a new brand?

  Thank you very much!

  Hello

  There's not much difference. Qosmio F100-125 has Bluetooth and not another. If you want to check the only specification on http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/model_index_page.jsp?service=UK&ID=96787.

  F10 - 125 is the best in my opinion.

• Qosmio F10-100 keyboard replacement

  I have a client with a Qosmio F10-100 which is a few months out of warranty. It has several keys that don't work at all and the removal of the key top and cleaning underneath had no effect. He wants to replace. So I have two questions;

  1. where can I get a new keyboard from?

  2. How can I remove the one to replace it?

  I am a taker, but do not have the guts for Toshiba laptop.

  Hello

  Well, I suggest to contact Toshiba service partner in your country. Here, you can order the necessary keyboard part and you can also ask a replacement procedure.
  In this case, you will be sure that you have a right and compatible keyboard to 100%. In addition, the service partner has more experience in the replacement of keyboard and it can give you a detailed instruction.

  Good bye

• Computer hangs at startup of the system

  Original title: computer crashed win Defrag

  I recently picked up win defrag... I have windows xp and tried to put it in safe mode, and it froze.  Now it is completely empty when I try to start :(  I removed my hardrive and crossed norton key usb connected to another computer.  It's still frozen... I'm on the right track?  How can I manually remove the infected files from another computer?  Please help-

  K

  Hi katkit,

  1 did you stop defragmentation on the drive?
  2. using Norton on another computer, were you able to remove the infected hard disk files?
  3. do you get an error at startup of the system?

  You are on the right track if your hard drive is infected with the virus. However if you try to do something else, then I think not that it is a good idea. After scanning of the hard drive, connect it to the computer problem and start insafe mode.

  Please provide us with more details, so that we can better help you.

  Who can help me to start the laptop again!

  The model excatly is:

  Satellite Pro A120

  Thank you

  Hello

  I guess the phone asking you the BIOS password
  I think it's only a plausible explanation of this error message

  Whether the password of the BIOS, then I have some bad news for you.
  The ASP can only remove the unknown password.
  That's why I have the same recommendation to you as Alex; you need the help of ASP.

• Tecra A8 - ALERT: System Protection failure

  He y. I have Tecra A8 EZ 8313. yesterday, when I turn it on I have white screen and message like:
  ALERT: System Protection failure
  Password:

  nothing works. I can not even get into the BIOS.
  I don't know what this is... nothing found in internet.

  Maybe someone have the same problem here if some can help me solve this problem.

  Please help :)

  Hello

  It looks like a BIOS problem and it seems that the password of the BIOS would be necessary.
  Looks like you need to contact Toshiba ASP and ask them to reset the BIOS defaults and clear the password.

• "ALERT: System Protection failure ' on my Satellite Pro A120"

  Got home laptop today, switched on and straight away I am facing a BACK style screen saying:

  ALERT: System Protection failure
  Password =

  Anyone know what the hell it means, and what could be the password? I never put no password on this point, except one for the connection to Windows, which I know would not that and it was not.

  Hello

  This laptop has a preinstalled Toshiba security help.
  You have set no password with this utility?

  I m not 100% sure what means this failure.
  Maybe a HARD disk password has been set.
  It would be a value case because without the HARD drive, the HARD drive password is inaccessible and unusable

  However, if you didn t fix anything, I would recommend is to ask the dealer to phone for the password.
  Maybe he's got something or you will contact the ASP in your country

• Qosmio F10: vertical lines on the screen

  I use a Qosmio F10 with a nVIDIA 128 MB graphics card. Recently while I was running a graphics-based application on, my screen started showing me wire colors on the screen. I was able to start the game once more, but found the same problem exist.

  On reboot, the system showed the vertical white lines on the screen to start qosmio, ' *' on the lines of the bios password screen and green on the Windows XP loading screen. I was not able to start Windows. Thinking it would be a problem of S/W, I formatted.

  The problem persists and I can not load Windows XP.
  Can someone tell me what the problem with my laptop?

  Hello

  This sound like a hardware malfunction and I guess it could be something wrong with the graphics card or motherboard :(

  But the vertical lines appear on the external screen? If so, then it must be a matter of Council.
  In this case, you have a lot of possibilities. In my opinion, ask the guy to service for the control of the laptop. The technicians of the service in your country partner could run diagnostics tests and will give you more details about the failure.

  Good luck

• Qosmio f10 - 137 boot problems with wireless

  I bought the above my local PC World yesterday. Was to restore the system myself (only the demo model is available, do not have the time to wait for them to restore, so I accepted and ended up with 100 pounds).

  Anyway, the problem-it hangs during startup, when it reaches the Windows desktop but no icons, menu start, task bar etc. If the communication wireless off switch is turned on, it boots correctly (it will even complete the boot if you stop after that it crashes).

  The wireless works fine once started.

  Thank you

  Hello

  What demo was available?
  As far as I know that the Toshiba come with a recovery CD. In this case, you must only retrieve the device with this CD. As Miro said that if you got this unit with the recovery CD, the operating system should work without any problems.
  In addition, you can try to update the wireless driver.

  Best regards

• Qosmio F10: Cannot set up the TV Tuner!

  I can't be able to receive any form of TV on my Qosmio F10 signal.

  I tried a manual and automatic TV signal setup in Windows Media Center, while only connected to various points of antenna and my satellite receiver, but the software manages never actually receive any form of signal.

  I checked each of the cables works properly by connecting it to a TV, and there is certainly a good signal.

  All I can think is there is a problem with my Toshiba TV Tuner hardware (I uninstalled and rebooted to reinstall drivers TV Tuner), or possibly the adapter cable little.

  Someone else had this problem?

  Any ideas?

  Ok... No one has any ideas, then!

  Here's an update... I took my Qosmio F10 at the shop where I bought and showed them the problem.

  They were very helpful and offered to test their display machine. He struggled, but finally picked up a garbled from an antenna signal.

  They agreed that my Qosmio was wrong and pulled another out of stock. We decided to check quickly to see that another did not pick up a signal either!

  As they had no more stock, I agreed to take the display model at home, because we knew that it worked.

  Since then, I only managed to get for my Sky Digital receiver by manually telling it what channel it is on (68) and have not been able to set up anything via a terrestrial antenna!

  I have connected the original problem with the technical support of Toshiba, who said that it should be referred to their team of level three, who work office hours only. I have been waiting for four days for a response and am not a happy chappy!

• Satellite1900 dull display at startup of the system + lack of functions in the system tray

  Satellite 1900-803 OS - XP - Home (SP2) has developed an error at startup, it starts, but has the matte screen (the equivalent of the lowest screen brightness setting) and a few icons missing in the system tray in the task bar, (ie. icon remove a security device, mousepad icon & hide the unused icon button), only fix I found is to do a system restore , that everything returns to normal, icons etc, restored once the screen not more problems occur even after hibernation, (restore point should be a point of automatic system generated manually created)

  Have you checked the drivers to display, bios updates, control panel in utilities to display etc., all seem correct and up-to-date, can anyone help, I checked the forums but not found anything similar, I checked, the reset screen FL inverter connections, but no change, dysfunction on AC or battery.
  suspect a software problem? BIOS problem?
  machine is 4 years old, and no real probs so far a complete system don't have reinstall (to the iradicate virus that I couldn't get rid of all ok after that, enough compatent during the disassembly of the machine and basic repairs but depths of software are becoming my cleats of knowhow:D about 1 year ago
  any help would be received with gratitude

  Hello

  I read a few topics on missing icons in the system tray. It seems that it s is a windows bug.
  Please check these messages from the forum:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=14392
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=15065

  Maybe it helps.

  I can t say too much on the matte screen. Of course, if the Fl inverter is dead the display appears dull but you issue sounds a little different. The problem doesn't persist all time. That's why I think that it s not a frequency inverter. Usually, the Toshiba power saver is responsible for the brightness of the screen. You should check the settings of the single power supply modes. Maybe you switched between different modes of energy and the brightness of the screen has also been changed.

• Qosmio F10-36: drive problem HARD and Qosmio player installation

  I bought the Qosmio F10-36, made in Germany for the Russia and CIS. After that 6 months, it was repaired due to problems with the motherboard, it was totally changed in the video card and now there are problems with the hard drive after the start of the very slow work computer and finallly collapsed.

  We had to format the hard drive and you must now install the player, Qosmio, which was also removed during this work.
  How we achieve this, I'm too far from the nearest service centre.

  frankly I am fed with this qosmio upward!
  If any chance that I would go back to toshiba filled like never such problems before.

  In my opinion maybe call and ask why this happen just to hear what they have to say about it.

  In any case, I recommend you to follow:
  If possible, back up all your data on an external device, such as USB key or HARD drive
  The first installation with recovery CD Qosmioplayer delivered Qosmioplayer
  When finished install OS using supplied recovery DVDs and you'll have the factory again settings

  After this check the unit carefully to make sure if there is just like before.

• Qosmio F10 recover after replacing the motherboard

  Hello

  I'm having a problem with my Qosmio F10 recovery. It won't boot from the CD, I get a message "media test check the cable failure".
  I tried everything I could find here on this issue without any results. Then I read somewhere on this forum that this recovery cd would not work if the laptop has been repaired and has a new motherboard. This is excatly the case.

  I got a new motherboard and CD/DVD player put some time ago.
  How can I make it work again?

  A.

  > Then I read somewhere on this forum that this recovery cd would not work if the laptop has been repaired and has a new motherboard. This is exactly the case.

  Who replaced the motherboard? THE ASP?

  Well, usually the recovery CD should work after the replacement of the motherboard.
  I presume that the parts have been replaced with exactly the same parts and so it should t be a conflict between the recovery and the new motherboard CD.

  Have you tried to boot from another bootable Win XP or Linux CD? Check it!

• HP Envy: a blue screen at startup, then the system shuts down its own

  When I turn on my computer, a blue screen appears and remains.  The boot sequence does not turn on and the computer shuts off after a minute or two.

  Hit the ESC key after that market puts me at the page 'option '.  'Advanced options', I tried "System Restore" and "Startup Repair" or solved the problem.  Failed to start in safe mode or change the boot settings because the sequence of starting (reboot) the system is broken.

  A hard system reset did not work and pushing the F2 key does not bring to the top of the page of diag sys.

  At this point, it seems that the only option on the left are trying to boot from a USB device or do a Reset from the PC (keep my files)?

  Any suggestion would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  It looks like you can have a hard/failed drive. If PC Reset is an option try it. If this does not work I would like to replace the hard drive and booting with recovery media to install Windows.
