• 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?

• 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

  Hello

  The failure of RAM could be the reason for this behavior of the laptop.
  Remove the RAM modules with good modules tested and check the functionality of the laptop.
  In the case of RAM isn t the troublemaker, the motherboard could be affected.

  Good luck and share your experience with us.

• Portege R100 - does not start from CD player

  I have Toshiba Portege R100. I want to format and start all over again

  I use killdisk, excellent utility program, normally takes place the disc cd but the machine does not start from cd player, even when it is said in the bios, it says 'error of cable' & drive still works fine when the system is installed & running

  I want to remove unbuntu & just xp, thought that I would start plus-plus easy or simply to remove unbuntu?
  If remove unbuntu, how can I do this?

  Best regards, TIM

  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.

• 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.

• Satellite M100 does not START

  Good, everyone

  I have 100 M Satellite
  _when I turn it on it makes 8 signals and not booting not delivered.
  I can't boot from the BIOS RECOVERY cd too.
  It works but does not start.

  HRR, RAM, all components are ok I checked.
  WHAT signals DOES 8 mean?

  Hello

  What do you mean with 8 signals?
  Sorry, but your statement is fairly general. This type of signals that you noticed?
  Audio (beep) and visual signals (flashing LED)?

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

• PROTECTED M100 does not start on an internal CD, even though it is set in the BIOS

  Well, I have a Toshiba protégé m100 here I think.

  I set the boot priority in the BIOS such as CD-ROM > LAN > FDD > HDD

  I restart, does not work. Starts directly in HD and loads the operating system.

  I also tried pressing ESC or else bring up the start menu pop up.
  I'm sailing on the 1 that looks like a single disk CD. I hit enter on that, and it always starts in HD.

  The CD rom works. The current operating system is Ubuntu. I can go into Ubuntu and watch the windows XP CD...

  But it won't let boot me from any cd, it doesn't even look like she is trying to find one. Does not sound or rattling noise.

  (and for the record, I'll since Ubuntu XP to work, non-identifying preferably lol).

  Edit: Oh yes, I had to disable the LAN network card in the bios because the boot priority would ignore the cd again in any case and find the lan connection or something... So with him off, Yes, it jumps to the LAN too now, to boot from HD.

  In my opinion in the BIOS, set HDD as first boot device.

  For some reason if you need to use the other device as first boot device you can choose it manually in the start menu when you use F12 at startup.

• 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

  Good luck

• Portege M400 - does not start after a BIOS update

  IHH

  Please help me with my portege M400, I installed a new localized version of Windows XP, then I started to download the drivers from the Toshiba Web site, and the first thing I did was to install the new BIOS update. I don't know what version it was. Then he asked me to restart, after I did the reboot of the device unbootable and I see only an orange flashing :(

  Please how can I reset my old BIOS? Is this the end of my Toshiba?
  I am now in a forign country and there are noToshiba service center near me

  Please is there any similarly to help me

  Hello!

  I think that in this case you must go to an ASP. I put t see another solution for this problem because I think the ROM module has to be reflashed or the card mother completely must be replaced.

  On the Toshiba site, you can search the nearest ASP:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported downloads & => find an authorized service provider

  And if you don t find an ASP in your country please contact an ASP in another country. I'm sure they will try to help you.

  Good bye

• HP Pavilion dv7-4065dx does not start with continuous flashing capslock

  Hello

  I have a HP Pavilion dv7-4065dx laptop with Windows 7 64 bit that won't start or go to the Bios screen.  When the laptop is turned on, you hear the fan from the system start, start button / stop brighter lights and the caps lock button starts to Flash continuously once every three to four seconds.  The activity of the disc is also light on but with no flashing red.  No changes have been made to the laptop and it worked perfectly well a few hours earlier.  I tried the hard reset of the computer and the reinstallation of the memory cards, but the laptop would be still not start.  Any help to determine what the problem is with the computer would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

  It does not appear that a hardware problem has occurred.
  
  After reviewing the document for the blink code, it seems that the processor does not have.

  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.

• Satellite Pro 6100 does not start - power light flashes

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro 6100 when I press the power button and HDD lights up briefly then powerlight blinks.
  It seems to Flash a pattern: on (2 sec) flashes (2 seconds) then off (about 8 times)

  What he told me? No fan, no display no hardrive is active.
  Food is ok because it load battery.
  I bought it as it would be something easy to fix ideas?

  Hello

  It sounds bad
  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.
  I recommend you contact the technician in your country

  But try this:
  Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter.
  Wait severla times and then plug in the battery and plug in the AC adapter.
  If this does not help, you have aks, a complementary technician...

• x 61 does not start from usb flash drive

  I don't know that I did several times before, but for some reason any my x 61 does not allow me to boot to a usb flash drive, I use normally to install the operating system.

  Any suggestions what might be wrong and what I could do about it?

  I should mention that USB is enabled in the BIOS and usb flash drive install works on other computers.

  Update seems to be an incompatibility with wintoflash, I used the Microsoft DVD/USB tool and it starts the flash player and finished the installation. Strangely the wintoflash installation worked fine in a HP dv3000.

  Consider this resolved.

  Wow I never saw your post until that earlier.

  Situation is resolved in the first post

• Vista does not start after BIOS flash

  I recently flashed my BIOS for my Presario SR5152NX by Vista after having downloaded the file directly following from the HP site:

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=PV-66758-1&LC=en&DLC=en&cc=us&product=3436821&OS=2093&lang=en

  He seemed fine, because he then asked me to restart my PC, I did.

  When it restarts, BIOS seems to be fine but once, he's trying to get into windows Vista, it will NOT start, and instead, I get a BSOD with the following STOP error message:

  STOP: 0X0000007B (0XF789E640, 0XC0000034, 0X00000000, 0X00000000)

  I tried searching for this error, but I do not get a clear answer to what it means.

  In addition, by choosing 'use last known Configuration' always produces the error, and I can't get in any security mode in the start menu.

  I can't enter in Vista, please help.

  I have solved my problem, but please keep this up for the other reference...

  It turns out that the error has to do with a "BOOT DEVICE" error. Once I read that I feared it might be a faulty drive. This was not the case.

  It seems that after the BIOS has been flashed, he changed the order of loading on my readers, and so it hurts than as a master. I guess expected Vista are on it and wrong. What I had to do was go in the motherboard configuration by pressing F10 on the diagnostic screen, and I had to spend my disk drive to configure the Vista disc as the main (has priority on the others), using the + and - keys on the numeric keypad.

  EUREKA, now charge well Vista again and the BIOS is updated correctly.
