Re: Satellite L300 - cannot access BIOS

My daughter has a Satellite L300 suddenly failed so that on the net. Computer suddenly locked with the whitewashed display picture. Computer could not be shutdown and the task manager would not meet Alt, CTRL, DELETE.

Laptop was forcibly stopped with a 5 seconds press the power button followed of a reboot. The unit began to start the system, showing the "f2" Toshiba bios or f12 for boot selection, but not details. The "f2", or the f12 key had an effect - i.e. the parameters of the BIOS could not access with f2 & startup option has not posted with f12. Have a set of Toshiba Vista recovery disc I inserted the disc 1, forced another followed stop of a reboot. The disk ran upward and displays "Windows is loading files...". "with a progress below bar that gradually developed 100%, followed by the"Microsoft Corporation"logo with the loading above bar. This lasted a few minutes, but then only shows one arrow big mouse controlled. Disc 2 has never been called for, no program loaded and none were available.

The loss of access to the BIOS me was more concerned the inability to load Vista, but none are good.

I'm calling on the cell phone of the guru to help me with this baffling problem - HELP!

Hello

Normally you can access the BIOS if you press the F2 key once you have turned on your laptop. Press on and hold this key until you are in the BIOS menu.

If you can boot from the recovery disc, it should be possible to access the BIOS because it passes the BIOS self-test and until there is no hardware problem.

If you connect an external keyboard, you can access the BIOS? An alternative you can also try to press F12 for the boot menu.

You can also try this, if nothing else works:

    Hello!

    I have a Satellite L300 too but I can t view such a question because I often use the Hibernate and the day before.

    In any case, I think you should try to install the latest driver from the Toshiba site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    But before installing the new version, you must delete the old first and then reboot the laptop. After that, you can install the latest version.
    And if it doesn't work, you must update the BIOS that you can find on the Toshiba site too.

  • Satellite L300 - after the BIOS update I have a black screen

    Welcome! I have a big problem.

    I improve my Satellite L300 BIOS to the old version that I download on the official website of Toshiba. I turn on the update program and after about minute, the system will shoot down and on the screen I see black screen only. The light on the drive flashes green and the led in the DVD-ROM flashes orange. I have no idea what's going on.

    Please help me!

    Hello

    It sounds like this during the update of the BIOS, that something was going wrong. I think that the ROM module must be reflashed or in the worst cases, the motherboard should be replaced.

    In any case, you should contact an ASP for help. Technicians can try to reflash the ROM module and solve this problem.
    If you don't know where is the nearest ASP, you can search on the Toshiba site:

  • Satellite L300 - cannot enter Windows and recovery disk will not stand

    Good evening

    I have a Satellite L300. A month ago, I bought and install an upgrade to Windows 7 (I had Vista). Last night, my laptop was working fine and this morning when I opened it I got this error:

    BOOTMGR is corrupt. the system cannot start.

    I did some research and tried to boot from the recovery disc. Laptop computer the disc I get the windows is looding files screen and then a company Microsoft is displayed with a bar above it and then I get a blue screen that says:

    PROCESS1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED vista

    Now what can I do to reformat my computer and reinstall if I can't load the recovery disc!

    I tried to put my DVD of Vista I have for my other PC, but I have another error black screen...

    Can someone tell me what I can do now?

  • Satellite L300 - cannot install Vista - HARD drive not detected

    My laptop model is Satellite L300. Model No.: PSLB0E-06U01HAR.

    I am facing problem with Windows Vista Home Basic.
    In the middle of the instalation, it does not detect the hard drive.
    Its shows me the error that is your hard drive erased or not connected the power cable.

    But I installed the operating system like UBUNTU successfully opened.

    Let me know how to solve this problem.

    Thank you

    Did you include the SATA driver?
    If this is not the case, this could be the reason why the HARD drive is not detected.

    However, you can disable the AHCI in the BIOS and it could spend in compatible mode. In this case the SATA driver is not important

  • Cannot access BIOS laptop Aspire 7250

When I turn on the laptop it just see the Acer boot screen and then immediately switch to a black screen with white text saying "no boot device - insert boot disk and press any key any." At first I thought that the HD was defective, so I replaced with a new HD but still its giving the same problem. Not only can I not load/start windows but there is no option to access the BIOS (even I tried pressing F2, F10, F12, delete). Please can someone enlighten me on what is possible for me to be able to access the BIOS and reinstall windows. Thank you

  • Cannot access BIOS after own Win 7 installed on the new HD

    The machine is HP Elite E9240F. Here's what I did.

    1 replace the plant HD with faster player - went well

    2. clean install Win 7 on new drive - activate - went well

    3 reinstall the disc supplied with the box in the first place & format - went well.

    Now everything starts fine, and loads of Windows. NO problem BUT I cannot access the BIOS more. Not that I need at this time, but I would like to know that where I did it, I could.

    Repeated F1 or F11 at startup pressure will produce the black screen for the Windows Boot Manager.

    I removed the CMOS battery and retried - same results. I can access the blue screen when I select the boot sequence by pressing ESC but never can I go back in the system BIOS.

    Thoughts?

    All these systems are a bit different but F10 to enter the bios to me.  If it is your PC then F10 to enter the bios: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01925486

  • Satellite L300 - cannot install Microsoft updates after replacing HARD drive

    I am repairing a Satellite L300, which had a dead HARD drive. I replaced death 160 GB of HDD with a 500 GB WD, then used the recovery disks to install Windows Vista SP1 at the exit of the State of the box.

    Now, Windows update does not work, won't install autonomous not of Vista SP2 I downloaded, MS Security Essentials moved there also.
    Then I borrowed a 160 GB of work and went through the same process and everything works fine.

    To make it work with a 160 GB HARD drive, but not a 500 GB HARD drive. Why?

    > ... Standalone Vista SP2 I downloaded will not be installed
    Usually after installing recovery image, you have just to connect laptop to internet and after a short period of time, you will get messages about available Windows updates. Just install the offered updates process automatic Waterer and install important updates only.

    Let the system to install all the updates and don t force the installation of some own downloaded stuff.
    Last month I've updated HARD drive (320 GB I think) and installed Win7 on friends L300 and I didn't noticed any problem here.
