• Installation of drive HARD recovery does not start on Satellite P300-150

  I have a 2008 Satellite P300-150 I want to restore factory settings.

  I followed the steps described in the manual of s to do it from the hard disk (F8 at startup), however, when I try, a screen will appear with a warning with the topic box"system recovery options"then below says "cannot start the installed program. Click ok to turn off the computer.

  I don't know m which is better to do it now if someone could suggest another way to do this, I would be very grateful.

  Thank you

  The situation is quite simple to explain. Recovery image installation can be done on two tracks:
  -using the HARD drive recovery or
  -using the create recovery DVDs.

  I put t know if you created this disk after advice from Toshiba, but if you use for the installation of operating system.

  By the way: Satellite P300 works perfectly with Win7 32 bit, so if there is a way to install do. It works much better than original Vista.

  If you have any other questions you are welcome. ;)

• Cannot start the Satellite P300-1FN - nothing happens

  Hi all

  I have recently reinstalled windows 7 on my Satellite P300-1FN and after a few minor problems, it was working fine.
  I blocked some drivers and updates, then it prompted me to restart.

  I turned it off and left while I had lunch, then tried to start and nothing happened.
  I mean nothing, not even the power led comes on. I put the battery in which I know has at least half a load and nothing.

  The fuse, still nothing changed. What is everything?
  It is quite dead.

  Any help appreciated.

  > I mean nothing, not even the power led lights up.
  Sounds not good man

  Sounds like the motherboard or CPU problem because no s lights are on.

  But try this;
  Unplug the power adapter, remove the battery, wait some time (2-4 hours) and reconnect the two parts.
  Check if you could power the unit in place.

  If this is not possible then I would recommend contacting a professional technician to ASP.

  Sorry, but that's all I can suggest

• Password required to start my Satellite P300

  I have a Satellite P300 and when I turn it on it just came with a box saying the password.

  Help, please.

  Unfortunately, we don t know anything about your laptop.
  Do you have BIOS password or you have bought already used and blocked for laptop?

  In any case what you are missing is BIOS password. This is the security feature and you can't do anything. It should be removed by the Toshiba service provider.

• Problems starting with Satellite P300 - 19K

  I have a portable Satellite P300 - 19K 1 month.

  Several times since I got it when I booted my system and got the password to logon windows my screen became a series of coloured horizontal lines and the Hung system completely. The only solution was to close by holding power button for 5 seconds. Screen start then on reboot that I would get in the trunk, but that did not work. Then, I learned that if I use the F8 key just I hit the power button I can get into a lot of upgraders and I was able to recover using the restore system but every time I lose a few programs that I need to reinstall.

  What has now happened 4 times in a month and becomes boring. I downloaded the latest display driver for the display of my card ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650, but when I went to install it I learned the version I have on board is the same and everything is beautiful.

  Someone had something similar or have a solution?

  Hello

  If this happens with own pre-installed Vista (factory settings), please contact the nearest service provider and ask for help.
  Please do not test with some additional drivers. It WILL work properly with the factory settings.
  Addresses and phone numbers for ASP you will find under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads > find an ASP.

  Good luck!

• ODD makes noise at the start of Satellite P300 - 19 p

  I recently bought a Satellite P300 - 19 p.
  When I have done hard disk sewitch grind a few noises.
  Once I connected it stops. Is this normal. ?

  In my view there s nothing unusual. Over powering the laser s objective reader calibrates and makes noises.
  In addition, such sound can appear if there is a disc in the CD/DVD drive.

• Won't start not satellite M300 - system on the disk volume is damaged

  OK on the 1st...
  Today, I turn on my laptop but it just will not start until... stop just at the TOSHIBA LEADING INNOVATION he...
  and the drive light lit upwards or blink.

  After that I tried the several times, it starts.
  When I went into windows, IE opened, it hangs again.
  After a while a black screen with a mouse crusor only...

  I tried to turn it back on it... it comes out the window repair.
  after repair, he says that:
  "the system on the disk volume is damaged."
  'system QuickIN' file is repair.
  but always after some time, the problem came again...

  So I wonder what problem is that and what can I do to solve this problem?
  Is a software or hardware problem?

  Hello

  For me, this looks a bit like a HARD drive problem.
  I guess that HARD drive developed and the hardware error.

  Have you checked if the HARD drive is listed and recognized in the BIOS?
  Do this!

  If the HARD drive is not visible in the BIOS then it would mean that the HARD drive is dead and must be replaced.

  Even if the HARD drive would be listed in the BIOS, you test another new HARD drive to check if the problem is not related to the failure of HARD drive.

• After that the BIOS update cannot start my Satellite L305-S5885

  Last night I've updated the BIOS of my laptop, but when the completed BIOS flashing, she restarted Windows. The machine could not start. The CD/DVD device go into a cycle with a yellow light and the screen does not appear anything. Can someone help me solve this problem.

  Old Bios: v1.40
  New Bios: v1.50
  OS: Windows XP with SP3

  I can't use the CD/DVD device to start with a Win PE.

  Thank you

  Hello!

  I think that the BIOS was not correctly because your computer laptop doesn't start up again.
  In this case, you can make t a lot of.

  Try this: remove the battery and the AC adapter, wait up to 1 hour and then connect the battery and AC adapter. Try it again and hope it works.

  If this does not work, you should contact a local ASP. In the worst cases, the motherboard must be exchanged :(

• Windows 7 won't start on Satellite L650

  Hey,.

  I went to turn on my laptop this afternoon and windows does not start. I get the loading screen animation, but nothing happens. When I restart, I get the option to repair windows - but when I go in, all I get is a black screen with a white cursor.

  I tried the following:
  -Switch on my computer and now the F8 - nothing happens, I just get to the screen asking me to repair windows or start normally
  -Engraving of windows Recovery Center 7 on a CD and it works - nothing happens, black screen with white cursor
  -Turn on the computer while pressing the 0 to get to the system recovery - again, nothing happens. The black screen, white cursor.

  It is only 3 months old so it is still under warranty, but I prefer not to have to take it to a service center because I need for work, and I can't do without it for more than a few days.

  Any help or advice would be appreciated!

  Thank you

  > I guess now, my question is - why is this happen?

  As you can read that some programs must be removed before the upgrade. Did you do that?

• 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.

• New Satellite P300 won't start.

  I hope you can give me some advice. This week, I bought a new Toshiba P300 GU with Vista Home Premium. It worked fine for about 3 days, but now it won't start at all.

  Symptoms:

  * - Some LED lights blink for a second, then they stop again.
  * - No fan or drive noise.
  I tried to remove the battery and power cables and left the computer for a day before trying again. There is no difference except for a few plus-lumieres LED flashes for a second, the first time I try to start the computer. The next time I try, only a few lights flash again.

  After I discovered the startup problem I noticed that food is quite noisy. I also noticed that the machine has a small mark RENS in the plastic in the upper left above the screen. (Looks like a defect of manufacturing error or transport) You hardly notice the 1 cm small inconsistency in the plastic, but it doesn't look like a normal scratch.

  As I thought that food could be the cause of the problems because of the strange sounds, I brought the maschine to a PC technician today. He tested the food and said it was working normally, but he also said that this should not seem like that. He did not open the laptop, to not cause trouble about the Toshiba warranty.

  I bought the computer to the Denmark I wanted a Danish keyboard. However, I live in Portugal, where I use the computer. Where is the PC now.

  Do you recommend that I contact an ASP to the Portugal to fix the PC or do you propose I have return the PC to the merchant at the Denmark?

  The ASP will be able to exchange the screen and power supply that are not in the State, they must be good obviously both?

  Thanks for the tips!

  Hello

  First of all I must say I never had problems after 3 days of my new Toshiba laptop but these things happen and no manufacturing activity is perfect.

  In addition, I agree with you. I would bring the laptop to an ASP because it seems that this motherboard is defective but I do not know Mr. it's only my personal opinion, and therefore the laptop should be checked by a technician for laptop.

  As far as I know that the laptop is covered by 1 year international warranty and so I would contact the ASP in your country. Ask them if they can fix your computer laptop and if not, you must communicate with other ASP where you bought the laptop.
  I think this is the best solution because they can tell you what to do exactly.

  Good luck and I m sure that your laptop will be repaired as soon as possible.

• Cannot start from the CD in my Satellite P300-23F

  Hello

  I'm trying to fix the old laptop from my brother. It's a Toshiba satellite p300-23f. The laptop did not work well, so he bought another. I think he might have a problem with the HARD drive, but I'm not sure about this and want to try to format the HARD drive and reinstall the operating system.

  When I start from the disc HARD I have no problem, insiders of OS normally, and I can 'use' laptop. The problem is when I try to boot from the OS CD. I get this message "Media test failure, check cable". I know the CD works, because recently I have instaled the operating system with this CD on another computer. I know that the CD player (not sure if it is called like this, but I think you understand what I mean) also works very well, because I tried different CD and it worked.

  I've tried pressing F12 and boot from CD it and also tried to change the BIOS and put the CD in the first place, but it does not work.

  No idea what's going on? Is it possible to make it work?

  Stand by.
  When Windows is completely loaded, you can use the optical disk drive and it reads all CDs and DVDs?
  When you put your Windows Windows installation disc can see the contents of the disc in Windows Explorer?

  Maybe you can use the CD but not DVD. check it out please.
