• Satellite P100: HARD drive sometimes fails to start or just not responding

  I have a satellite P100 on xp professional service pack 2. Sometimes it fails to start and appears as if the hard drive just stopped responding, does not require defragmentation.

  Checked all Diagnostics pass, can get it started by selecting the boot options multiple F12, HDD that appears first in the list.

  Although it seems not take a long time.
  Sometimes it seems to stall at the start to the top but picks up then after a few minutes and fortunately sometimes it starts without a problem.

  What is data corrupted in the bios? but then why it starts ok sometimes and not others? It doesn't matter if it's hot or cold.

  any ideas or help greatly received.

  Hello David

  It's a very strange situation, and for me there is no explanation simply. In my opinion the laptop or HARD drive, the functionality must be tested properly. Here in the forum we can speculate just what is the problem here but mobile startup must be tested with the other HARD drive pre-installed with original recovery image.

  It will be interesting to know if the problem disappeared with new HARD drive. So what you can do now? If possible, try to get the second HARD drive and do the only testicles or make a call to the authorized service center and explain the situation. If the laptop is guaranteed to be valid, it will be better to check in service because they can replace free HARD drive (if the HARD disk is defective).

  Sorry, but I don't see another solution. Some test with the new HARD drive can help you to understand if this happens because of the HARD drive. I don't think that the BIOS can be responsible for the issue described.

• Satellite A300 intermittently does not start

  Hello

  to help you with the A300 which sometimes (recently more often) just won't start/start?
  I run my A300 battery, when I press the power button / stop

  (1) fun begins
  (2) ' satellite' logo on the lower left corner will blink
  (3) drive HARD diode flashes
  (4) display lights even for a while
  (5) lightning touchpad stays off
  (6) it will continue like this for always (no activity except fan)

  After a few hard reboots can occasionally start, he's absolutely perfect job.
  Any ideas?

  Thank you very much!

  On this virtual path, it is not possible to say with certainty what the problem. For two weeks, I have similar problem on my A300. He won start t at all. Power LIGHT blinks two or three times and that's all that happens.

  At first, it happened only sporadically, but now there is no other reaction. In my view, this is power of electronic card.
  On your A300, it may be the same.

• Satellite A300 - sometimes no sound

  Hi people,

  I had a Satellite A300 with built-in speakers. From time to time, it happens that the left one does not work properly. It doesn't come any sound out of it. Next time, when I start the computer laptop new averything's alright. I have already installed the new drivers for the sound card. But without success. I should mention that the headphone connector is working properly.
  My question is: what can I do? The warranty time has not yet expired. Should I send it for repair?

  Thank you

  Marcus

  Hi Marcus,

  It seems that the internal speakers should be replaced. I mean if external speakers or headphones are working, the only reason could be the internal speakers.

  So in your case I would call a service provider authorized cost a repair. I guess this internal speakers should be expensive, but just ask for it. I think that the technicians can make you a good offer! :)

• Satellite A300-23d - BSOD on start up

  Hello

  My name is Tom and I have a Toshiba Satellite A300-23d for about six months. Yesterday, I used a HDMI cable to attach my laptop to my LCD to play abit on a higher resolution. In addition, after a while the PC crashed and rebooted itself with an error appears on the screen.

  I tried several times to reset and start it again no success at all. I get trying to boot my computer is:
  First black screen windows recovery error, then regardless of the option I chose the blue screen appears.

  Thanks for your time,

  Tom

  Hi Tom,

  I searched a bit using Google and I founded a few interesting articles on this BSOD code 0 x 00008086.

  It seems that the only solution for this problem is Toshiba Recovery disk now. I mean normally repair option would also be my first choice, but if you get a blue screen too, you don t have other options now.

  Then enter the Toshiba Recovery disk and boot of it. It can restore factory in a few minutes. Don t forget your whole HARD drive will be erased.

  Good luck! :)

• Satellite A300-1EC - how to start openSuse Linux from USB HDD?

  Using the desktop PC, USB HDD was installed openSUSE. The computer starts from USB HDD fine. On the laptop installed windows 7. I tied USB HDD for notebook and laptop computer reboot, select by pressing F12 boot USB, but the HARD drive loading specifications internal (WIN 7).

  What I've done wrong? How can I boot from USB HDD?

  Hi aliks-os.

  I m not owner of the Satellite A300, but maybe that it doesn't support boot from USB HDD...
  Connect the HARD drive before you turn on your laptop. Then turn on your notebook and press F12 to access the start menu.

  The USB HDD is listed? Can choose you?

• Satellite A300-1MV slow slow start-up and ongoing execution place

  I recently bought a Satellite A300-1 mV it runs vista,.
  I have the trial running Mcafee and other preinstalled software that came on the phone. My problem is that the startup of the computer seems to take a ridiculous amount of time to start, once past the ORB of vista, that it says please wait which lasts about a minute until the password request is displayed.

  I had a quick glance in the problemreports in the Panel and concluded that the program of toshiba tempro was hung up at startup so disabled but doesn't seem to have any effect, I also find that when for example you double-click a photo thumbnail to view it, it takes about 30 seconds to appear on the fullscreen allthough, the window appears on the start menu to the low allmost bar immediately.

  I defragmented the hard drive, scandisk, memory checking, virus check etc... I compared it to a friends laptop dell which has less memory, but the same processor spec and vista and that seems to work 10 times faster... any ideas?, I wonder if it is a program of toshiba at the origin of the problem.

  However, I have a problem with acrobat reader from opening on its own and telling me it can't read the file (do not know what file)

  I uninstalled it and reinstalled but still have the same question...! Help!
  See you soon

  Hello

  Very nice thread on slow start up you will find under http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=134947

  To be honest I don't like McAfee and I installed other antivirus applications that needs far more resources. Please read this interesting thread and let me know what do you think about this.

• Satellite A300-1J1 fails to connect WIFI

  I have a Satellite A300 1J1, purchased in September which I use in college.
  At home I have Virgin Broadband and my laptop is easily connected to it.
  When I get home I can not connect to broadband home.
  I put in all the correct passwords (it uses 3com) but my phone just crash log.
  It is not the home network, because my brothers laptop computer running smoothly at home. The problem is my laptop.

  I could buy a separate connect package and a dongle, but it seems stupid when I should be able to connect automatically.

  Can someone tell me what I could do to please which is not too difficult technically?

  Hello

  You should first check if your wireless network card has been recognized and properly installed.
  I noticed that in very rare cases the WLan driver was not installed correctly and there was a yellow exclamation point next to the WLan card.

  The WLan driver correctly installed is essential to connect the laptop wireless.

• Satellite U400-10N fails to start all by showing a black screen!

  So, I press the power button, the 3 LEDS are fuctional appearing but CPU - GPU fan does not start!

  After a while, it shuts it self and then he tries to start again, but the fan fails again while the power led and not others (Led 1 and 2 down).
  Must say once again that the screen always appear black (maybe also dead)

  I thought it was a problem of overheating, so I cleaned the fan but with not a lot of dust!
  But it was not the problem crearly because I tested it!
  Now I think that this could be a GPU problem, but I don't know about you!

  Any suggestions that he could be and how o solve this problem? Thank you!

  Hello

  It may be RAM problem, it may be a motherboard problem, it can also be a problem of CPU or GPU.
  Any party may be affected.
  So what to do?

  You can see the part as RAM. You could buy new Rams tested and could replace it but what happens if you buy new RAM modules, replace it and laptop will NOT turn on?
  You would spend the money for the new RAM but eventually the other party could be faulty

  So I think that a professional technician must check the unit first.
  Guys could give you an answer as to the defective part and then you could decide what to do
  You know what I mean?

• Satellite A300-1EG - does not start

  I have problem with my laptop A300.

  I bought a new drive SSHD and after mounting, the laptop starts more :( I mean, fans work, lights are bright but the screen is black and nothing happens.

  I want to emphasize that I accidentally deleted a few screws marked on the picture (at the time, I thought that this drive is around here somewhere) but I put them right where they were--> http://www.elektroda.pl/rtvforum/files-rtvforum/hgffdfdhfd1119_185514_6cab0d9.jpg

  I tried to run with/without battery/power, I tried holding down the power button / stop, I tried 0 + power, ESC + power etc. Still nothing. Any ideas?

  On this photo is visible to your A300 has two covers of HDD with space for two hard drives but HDD/SSD can be used in one slot (primary). As you can see in the second slot (where you marked the screws) there is no HARD drive connector, and this crack will remain empty because you cannot use the second hard drive.

  I don't know why you deleted these screws. There is no reason for this. Anyway, when you put the original HARD drive in the right place can you raise your laptop?

• Satellite A300-259 does not start on windows

  Hello

  I have a laptop Toshiba A300-259 and I have problems trying to get into windows.
  When I try to start my laptop, it would remain on the screen of the Microsoft logo with no response. I tried to use the HDD recovery procedure (link below) but if the screen jumps just to load Microsoft. I tried also security mode, but when it finishes loading all the drivers it just freezes.

  Is that what I can do before purchasing a toshiba recovery media disk?

  HARD drive recovery procedure

  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm

  Hi mate

  Well, if you didn t create a recovery disk previously, you must purchase a new recovery disk.

  If the Windows operating system starts not using safe mode or normal mode and if the HDD recovery procedure does not start then I n t see other options for you to try the recovery disk.

• Satellite Pro A200 failed to start

  Hi guys,.

  Need for emergency assistance.
  Computer laptop Satellite Pro A200 tension regarding the Toshiba password logon, then the cursor freezes the upper left corner, it won't get into F8 configurations.
  This unit is 3 months old Satellite Pro A200 XP Pro.

  Used cell phone Sunday noon and set a system restore before installing a few applications. I can get to the Bios.
  I also used the disc of recovery as a last resort. I'm on vacation a week today and if all goes well with the laptop.

  deejaydee

  You said you used the recovery CD? Well, I guess that you were not able to boot from them. Or I m wrong?

  Usually, you should try to boot from the CD bootable recovery CD, Win XP/Vista CD or CD of Linux. This could allows to check if a hardware problem exists.

  If you want to boot from the CD, I would recommend pressing the C key immediately after starting the laptop. This should allow booting from the CD/DVD drive.
  However, you can also try the F12 key. This allows the Boot Manager where you could choose the STRANGE.

• Satellite U200-115 fail to start

  Suddenly, our old Satellite of 2 year won't start.
  Power supply is OK
  I have a 'product' recovery CD, but this seems to destroy all data and programs.
  I've never had a boot disk
  I am running (working) Windows XP

  Any advice welcome.

  Hello!

  That means with won't start? You have the black screen, or you see anything?

  If Windows does not start (but) I would reinstall it with the recovery disk. Of course all programs and data will be deleted, but you can save, if put the HARD drive in an external HARD disk enclosure or a boot with a Linux CD and back up the data on an external HARD drive.

  The recovery disc to factory settings. This means a Windows preinstalled with the drivers and tools of Toshiba.

  Good bye
