Re: C855-1EL Satellite will not start Windows system

I have had trouble with my Satellite C855 1EL lately and now cannot even start Windows.
The black screen reads the following:

Intel UNDI, PXE - 2.1 (build 083) Copyright (C) 1997-2000 Intel CorporationThis product is covered by one or more of the following patents: US5, 307, 459, US5, 434, 872, US5, 732, 094, US6, 570, 884, U.S. 6 115 776 andUS6, 327, 625

Press the buttons on the unit...

and when I formatted I find no hard drive

Hello

As I understood the message: the HDD doesn't appear when you try to install the system. Right?
HARD drive is listed in the BIOS?
It should appear on the first page of the BIOS, providing details on the size of the HARD drive and name (part number)

If this isn't the case, the HARD drive may be defective and that's why the system cannot be started.

  • L50 - B satellite will not start when the battery is completely discharged

    Hello

    My Toshiba L50 - B won't start when the battery is fully drained but connected to the power outlet.
    I try to work most of the time on the battery to keep the battery in good shape, but when I forgot to turn off the battery drains and the system will not start when I plug in the adapter.

    The battery charge indicator is orange light as it should. Only when the battery is fully charged to 100%, it will run at startup and function normally after that. I tried to turn on the laptop several times during the charge cycle, but only when the charge indicator changes from yellow to white it starts. Tested for 2 bodies.

    My old Toshiba always immediately turned on when I plugged the adapter even when the battery has been completely drained. Am I missing a setting somewhere?

    Thanks for responding... I hope well :-)

    Toshiba L50 - B
    Windows 8.1
    Any standard/original setting since I only acquired this laptop a month ago.

    The laptop should light up if the power adapter is plugged in and power the laptop corectly any if the battery is empty or during charge.

    Please check the version of the BIOS that is available on your mobile phone and compare with the BIOS available on the page of the Toshiba UE driver
    Maybe you need to update the BIOS, but to be honest, the history seems really odd to me and I m afraid that there could be some power supply electronic problem

    So in the worst case, the laptop must be checked by authorized service provider.

  • L50-A-19N satellite will not start in the BIOS

    Hello

    I have a problem with my laptop.
    I have installed 8.1 and fedora 20 windows.

    I was in fedora, when I decided to restart Windows.
    Instead of grub, I saw message with the error and my notebook has stopped booting.

    I pressed the power button / stop, he died but when Im trying to start it again, I see the logo of Toshiba Leading Innovation and that's it.

    It will not start any further.
    I decided to get my system, but when I press F2 or F12, nothing happens.
    I can't get into the BIOS!

    Please, help me to solve it.

    Somehow, this seems really strange
    I m wondering why you are unable to access the BIOS

    What you can try to do is, remove the laptop HARD drive and switch on and press F2.
    From my point of view of the rare even if the isn't HARD drive connected, you should be able to access the BIOS.

    But for Pierre, I'm not very well your laptop problem is related to the faulty / corrupt Boot partition m

    However, your comments would be greatly appreciated

  • L775-11N satellite will not start

    Hello

    I bought a L775 almost a year ago, but today it has stopped booting. It freezes at the screen of the BIOS (Toshiba logo).
    No HDD LED activity, but all the others are fine.

    I think that the HARD drive is defective, as I traded with my portable Linux and it works.

    However, (a Seagate Momentus XT ST95005620AS) HARD drive works on another computer and even on Linux with the Toshiba (on an external HARD drive enclosure). He has some bad sectors (INTELLIGENT default), but it works as it should.

    I tried to clean the CMOS memory, wipe the HARD drive (using GParted), but nothing.

    Any ideas?

    I think it fails because of the CHIP, as the BIOS will not start on this HARD drive because of the errors, but I'm not sure. I tried to update the BIOS (I think that I've upgraded to 1.90 but there is a 2.0 release), but looks like it is a Windows software only.

    Thanks for your replies

    EDIT: I can boot the disk when it is inside a USB enclosure.

    Hello

    I don t think that this question is related to the failure of HARD drive.
    Even if the HARD drive is faulty, the laptop must pass the POST (power self test) properly but it doesn t it freezes to the Toshiba start screen and this means that the POST has not been passed

    I think you should check the RAM. A faulty RAM can cause this kind of problem
    Otherwise, it could be a serious problem with the motherboard.

  • C satellite will not start - only toshiba logo appears

    My laptop is only 1 week and will not start.
    All I get is the toshiba logo and the screen becomes a pale bluish color.

    Any ideas?

    What is your laptop model?

    You are able to access the BIOS?
    Turn on the unit button and press F2 to enter the BIOS.
    The BIOS screen is visible?

    Another idea: the laptop turns on, press the F12 key.
    Usually, you should see a start menu. Here choose the last option called HARD drive recovery.
    This option allows you to recover the computer laptop back to factory settings.

  • My C50-A-1DV Satellite will not start

    Hello

    Yesterday my C50 Satellite would not start. When turned on, it shows the Toshiba logo and then the little circles just keep them.

    I booted into recovery mode and ran chkdsk, but there are no errors on the disc.

    When I restarted, then she says the following:

    Preparation auto repair
    Diagnose your PC
    Check disk for errors
    Auto repair attempt

    Then at the stge small circles just continue.

    I started in safe mode and activated the boot record.

    Attached is the NTBTLOG file

    Thank you very much

    BigD

    Turning off the laptop
    Then press the power button and immediately after that, press the F12 button
    Then you should see a screen similar to this one:

    Then I recommend you to choose the option to drive HARD recovery... The last option in this menu.
    This would start the HDD recovery procedure and would restore the laptop back to factory settings...

  • Satellite L500 will not start - Windows issue?

    My nephew is the owner of this laptop 1 year old and asked me for help yesterday.
    There's an eggtimer permanent on the mouse cursor and clicking on trackpad or any key does nothing.

    I ctrl, alt, del to open, and then select the Task Manager, but then the thing freezes. place then the only solution.
    I could not access my computer or start / programs, etc. by clicking on anything does nothing.

    I started in safe mode with network and updated & ran several programs - super antispyware, spybot, ccleaner & anti malwarebytes. the latter find stuff but unimportant or whatever it is was reported by none.

    It has none of the recovery disks because none was provided. He never made the recovery discs as advised when it is new, so I tried to make a series of discs, but it was impossible to read some files and I had to abort the operation.
    I have downloaded and run mechanic system but this found no real problems.

    When I try to open my computer, the answer is a long time to come and opens a page of help windows in m/s only. He advises the system restore but there ar no restore points available.

    When I tried to launch avg he behaved "very odd" to say the least. I uninstalled that too.

    I uninstalled several toolbars and games stuff that my nephew had but for all my efforts, above the situation remains the same. I'm trying to do a windows repair disk and will try that to see if it helps.

    I put the disc and restarted with poor results. He asked me to reinstall windows, and I agreed. I then, a long time later had a message saying that the computer has an error unexpectedly., restart to complete the installation.
    When I click ok to restart, the message is repeated. I retried several times - same result.

    I tried turning on off and powered by pressing f1 through f12 in turn. no difference.
    I think I need a new disk (64) of windows 7 or a recovery dvd set of toshiba.

    Any thoughts on recovering from a bad situation would be welcome.

    > I think I need a new disk (64) of windows 7 or a recovery dvd set of toshiba.
    > Any thoughts on recovering from a bad situation would be welcome.

    Yes, I agree with you at this stage that I would also try to reinstall a new Windows system or Toshiba Recovery disk image
    Usually the new OS install helps determine what s wrong here, from my point of view, it looks like the BONE was confusing to and installation of the operating system might solve this problem.

    But as you know, it's just a theory. I think that if would not help you with new installation OS (recovery), the next should be a RAM and HARD drive test

    What do you think?

  • Satellite Pro L10 will not start the system

    Hello!

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L10, which won't work for some reason any.

    The last time that I used it, it worked perfectly fine, but now all I get is a black filtered message on "windows starts do not successfully»

    It indicates that the computer is not responding and asked me to choose one of the five options - safe mode, safe mode with network, security mode command, last known configuration, prompt or start windows normally.

    There is also a 30 second countdown if I do nothing the portable samekh automatically.
    It is, none of these things work.

    Everything that happens with any option is to a thought very much time on things, then it goes to a black screen with a time/processing bar downstairs, then when that ends it turns itself off, samekh, mw windows page shows (with f2 and f4/f10? options) and the process is repeated.

    He did about 50 times now and still nothing.
    I tried the command ctrl/alt/del, I tried to turn if off and try again, I even opened the f options but I don't know enough about computers to do more.

    Help, please!

    If possible I would like to get the computer on long enough to verify what documents I have on this subject before I can back up (if necessary) and restore it to the factory settings (as I predicted), or if this is not possible, I do not think that there is a lot to lose in this respect in any case, am prepared to take it all back to factory if necessary. I have all necessary installation CD and manuals to go with.

    hope this makes sense and I gave you all you need to know.

    Thanks, B

    It seems that the laptop is not able to boot the system, but I m not quite sure if it s because of the defective system or HARD drive corruption.
    If it s just a system problem, the installation of the new Windows operating system should help you to get it resolved.

    In case the HARD disk is defective, you need to replace the HARD drive and reinstall the system.

  • 4070CDT satellite will not start up - BSOD appears

    I have an old Toshiba Satellite 4070CDT.
    After you have filled the password and of meadows, enter only a blue screen is visible, and nothing else works.
    Start in "Safe Mode" is not an option, it will also not work.

    Anyone have an idea what is wrong?

    Hello

    The Toshiba start screen appears and makes the laptop going on this?
    If this isn't the case, then there could be something wrong with the hardware.
    It seems that if your device fails to its POST (Power On Self Test).
    In this case, the service agent must check the machine.

    But first, you should check if the alternative is possible.
    You plug in external devices to your laptop? If so, I would recommend disconnecting every 3rd external device.
    If the laptop does not start successfully, try to recover with the recovery CD Toshiba delivered.

  • L50 satellite will not start up - request password HARD drive

    Hello

    I hope someone can help me

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L50 and when I start it, it says
    + no boot device please don't restart System.

    It is still under warranty because it was purchased only 6 months ago.
    I took it back where I bought it and they told me to contact Toshiba.

    I'm waiting on a reminder.
    I hope that someone can help you. He also asked that the HARD drive password.

    Where can I find this information?

    Hi Kym

    I guess the L50 Satellite cannot find the boot device (HARD drive), because the HARD drive was obtained with a drive password HARD and without this HARD isn't accessible disk password and the system does not start properly.

    Did you set this password for HARD drive in the past?
    I m request because this isn t password on new laptops. This HARD drive password can only be set by the owner of the laptop

    Of my knowledge if you know n t this HARD drive password, you will not be able to access the HARD disk in such a case, the HARD drive would be useless, and the data would be lost

    That's why I recommend you check if someone put the HARD drive on your laptop password where you n t know the password, you will need to replace the HARD drive and reinstall the system once more.

  • A5383 S55D satellite will not start without power

    Hello!

    I have the Toshiba Satellite S55D A5383 laptop and I have a problem with the battery, I think.
    Laptop does not start without power. What is happening since last week.
    In fact, since April 2015 battery does not last as it did when I bought (may 2014).
    I have'nt registered the product and I think I'm out of warranty.

    So, what can I do to fix this?

    You'll probably just get a new battery which is what I did. Try Amazon.
