Re: Satellite L300 starts slowly

Hello world

I don't know if my question is associated or laptop OS related, so I thought I would start here.

I have a Toshiba Satellite L300, running Windows Vista Home Edition. I love this laptop, it's probably the best I've ever had. He ticks all the boxes (battery, speed, display, etc.), but there is one aspect that pushes me in the wall - power on it takes an age to go beyond the home screen of Windows to the login prompt. It is the behavior of Vista, or is there a Toshiba effect going on when starting?

I have a desktop machine in the House under the same OS and it starts pretty directly to the login screen - which makes me jealous! This kind of start would be very useful when I'm mobile!

If anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear from you.

Thank you very much

Alex

Hello

How long does take to start? my laptop takes about 40 sec. You can also try to defragment your hard drive with defragmentator.

  • Keeps restarting to the opening screen of Toshiba Satellite L300

    My satellite L300 starts with the Toshiba screen and keeps leaving regularly until I see the blue panel of Windows saying please wait... After that the screen goes black, and it shows the opening screen of Toshiba. I tried to go into the system by pressing F2 or F12 but I'm a technical noob and it's way to complicated for me.

    According to my sister she has something to do with a faulty download and I need to insert some kind of code in one of the systems (F2 or F12).

    Anyone who is familiar with this problem and maybe someone can explain to me how do I solve this problem?

    Thank you!

    To start the laptop in safe mode, try to please.
    When you turn it on, press F8 to display the advanced startup options. You will find the option of safe mode.

    Wait for windows to load. I hope that you will be able to do.

    What you can try then is to roll back OS to an earlier time using System Restore option.

    Please test and send feedback.

  • Satellite L300, how to start from the cd/dvd external USB drive?

    I have an old laptop Satellite L300, latest version of the BIOS (2.20) installed.
    I would like to start on a connected external USB CD/DVD player
    PROBLEM:
    BIOS will not start on this CD/DVD disc.
    In the BIOS boot priority is: CD/DVD, USB, HDD
    BEHAVIOR:
    When starting, computer ignores the CD/DVD, ignores the USB and start on the HARD drive.
    QUESTION:
    Is it possible at all boot for CD/DVD USB external?

    Thanks for the efforts made to respond.
    Concerning

    It is NOT possible, I thought. REASON: The BIOS does not, does not reckognize CD/DVD (does not test if code such USB-CD/DVD bootable) drive connected via USB.

  • Satellite L300 will not start

    AY up!

    I have a rather old L300 series which I'll put up like a computer diagnostic car dedicated. It does not attempt to start up, at all. I changed the RAM (2 GB) and hard drive (XP system) both with new components. The original, Vista hard drive, is in rude health.

    When you turn it on, the fan works, but nothing on the screen or the LEDs, I did the obvious things, any other ideas?

    AY up!

    My Toshiba Satellite L300 series shot tools. I changed disk cards and hard memory, put new components in both cases. Thinking that maybe the BIOS battery, I put the machine in charge. Nothing.

    When I turn on, the led lights green power as does the charging light when it is connected, then the fan starts. It is not "beep" to indicate the beginning of the start, nor does the HDD LED light. The battery is old, but still has enough power for 30 minutes running. On battery? Similarly.

    I did the standard things here, any ideas as to what I can do? I'm talented mechnically but computers are a book closed for me.

    Help, please...

  • Satellite L300 - will not start after the installation of Skype

    My Toshiba Satellite L300 won't start after installing Skype.
    This happened to someone else, and can I do?

    Thank you.

    I think Skype is probably the most used messenger and ideal application for communication.
    It is professionally designed and programmed. As you know in recent years, it has been offered in many different versions and it is always better and better.

    So I think that Skype itself is probably not the problem. I know that a lot of people also use Skype and I've never heard problem described.

    Anyway, what you can try is to remove Skype and try to install it again. Try also push the BONES at that earlier time. Maybe some Microsoft updates are responsible for the stability of the software.
    It's really not easy to say what the problem is here.

  • 2 years by Satellite L300 has started playing up - recovery disc question

    Hello world

    I ve created the Toshiba Recovery Disc (s) and think I need to use it now. My Satellite L300-1AQtaking AGES to load when I turn on, it sometimes crashes for no apparent reason (it tells me memory is OK, so not a problem of RAM) and because of the other weird inconveniences.

    Should I use the recovery disks do, you think? Is it simple? It does not give to-step instructions please? Operating system is Vista.

    Thank you very much

    Angethehippy

    Yes, you must use recovery discs and make clean OS install. After 2 years of use, I think that the operating system needs to be updated.

    After the own OS, you will see that laptop will work a lot better than before.
    Please also optimize OS: remove all the unnecessary stuff from the system and configure the Windows startup. This will make the start much more quickly.

  • Satellite L300 - 16L will not start

    Hello

    I hope someone can help me thanks.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L300 - 16L that has suddenly refused to start. When I turn on my laptop, the screen stays black for centuries, and then a message from the Windows Boot Manager appears, saying:

    "Unable to start Windows. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To solve the problem:

    1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer.
    2. choose your language settings, and then click "next".
    3. click on "Repair your computer."

    If you do not have the disk, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.

    File: \Windows\system32\winload.exe

    Status: 0xc000000f

    "Info: the input of the system could not be loaded because the application is missing or damaged.

    The problem is, I don't remember if I provided with the installation disk and I was unable to find it. I was told that I could buy one, but it is very clear on the website how much it will cost. It feels strange to implement credit card details before you know what the price will be.

    Can someone please advise what I should do to fix the above problem and how the costs of the installation (about at least) disc. Also, how long is the delivery of the new installation disc cost? If someone could set up a direct link where the disc can be purchased, it would be great.

    Thank you very much in advance for your help.

    In your place, I would order a [Recovery disk | https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx] Toshiba because it is cheaper and contains all the drivers/utilities that get Windows copy disk. I have never ordered from toshiba, but as I know that 2 weeks delivery and about 35 euros. Of course, you can get friends borow windows disk and try to repair or install windows

  • Satellite L300-1 has 3 - slow start WinXP SP3

    Hello everyone

    Recently, I installed Windows XP (service pack 3) on my laptop * Satellite L300-1 has 3 (Dual core T3200, 3G of RAM) *.
    There is a problem: starting time on the computer and enter in Windows is too long (about 60 seconds)
    I have not any application on my laptop, and I didn't have this problem when it had Windows XP (service pack 2)
    Would you please help me on why this problem exists?
    Thanks for your cooperation!

    You must determine what is the cause of the delay. It could be a driver incompatibility.

    Google "Bootvis". Its a Microsoft utility that records everything that happens during startup and displays a grid with delays in the services, drivers, peripheral, etc...

  • Satellite L300 (PSLB8E) - after update BIOS no longer start

    Hello..
    Please, help me to overcome this problem.

    I downloaded the latest BIOS for my Satellite L300 PSLB8E. The previous BIOS was 1.90 but I was facing some nework of error so I thought to upgrade the BIOS can help solve. I have download a new BIOS which is the exe 2.10, its installed successfully, and then shut down, but never started again. I tried to start it several times. I tried all the keys. I don't see a power led and two battery light.

    I don't know what to do now. I have a recovery disk but it also does not work. I'm stuck. II had built a bunch of emails to answer that I am lost now.

    Please help me someone.

    Hi dhaval2000in,

    Unfortunately, I think the case is clear: something was wrong because the BIOS update and now your laptop can start t more :(

    The Toshiba Recovery disk will not help you because it doesn't contain any BIOS programs it contains only an image of recovery of Windows with all the drivers and flashing tools.

    In my opinion, please contact an authorized service provider in your country to get rid of it because the guys do reflash ROM. module
    I m that you can clarify this issue with the technicians and then you can use your laptop again :)

  • Satellite L300 intermittently won't start not

    My Satellite L300 intermittently does not start.

    When trendy DC, light power plug is green, when you press power button / stop power light is Orange boots for 3 seconds with fan started done 2 short beeps and then the fan stops and no other shoe.
    turn off the DC supply then plug again before may give him another chance.

    This can happen up to 20 times, sometimes around 3 or 4 attempts.
    When he wants to finally go, pressed power light power button green and all is OK.
    That means the light Orange?

    I checked for dust in the fan, used another power supply, tried friends memory and hard drive.

    The problem can occur every day, or every day.

    I left the battery in case it appeared the problem, the battery will not hold a charge very long.
    I would be grateful of any advise

    kevsim

    > That means Orange light?

    If power light flashes orange, it indicates the power was cut off, while the computer was in mode 'sleep'.
    But in your case I n t think that the laptop enter mode 'sleep' in your case, the power LED flashes means a hardware problem may be detected

    Perhaps your motherboard is affected

  • Went empty Suring battery installation - now I can't start Satellite L300

    I bought a new Satellite L300 and installed installation went empty for the first time - during the process.
    No more chance to install again, no CD available, software (Vista Edition home premium) must be started from the hard drive that does not work in this situation.

    Any idea?

    Hello Nile

    When I read something like that I can just laugh. Sorry, but I can't believe that do you something like that. It makes sense that any new device must be connected to the power running especially for the first start.

    In any case, your only chance is to try to follow:
    Connect your laptop to power current
    AutoScan the laptop and press F8 several times to load the advanced startup options
    Choose the option to fix my computer
    In the next window choose recovery Toshiba (the last option)
    And follow the on-screen menu.

    If you are lucky, you will be able to reinstall the OS but I'm not sure about this.

    Last option is to order original Toshiba recovery DVD under https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

    Bye and good luck

  • Face recognition not starting not not by Satellite L300

    Just bought a Satellite L300-13r for my daughter. One of the selling points was the guarantee of face recognition. Only problem is that he isn't starting from the start. Found the software on the computer laptop-even if it has not been shown on the desktop - I had to use the search option. I signed up his face and think that I entered the settings properly, but that's all just not running at startup.

    Whenever I have run the software of Recon face manually, vista wonder confirmation that it's alright to run it. (This would have something to do with the failure to launch?).

    I am also concerned by the gfx chip. It was announced as x 3100 but I seem to have an Intel 965 chipset. Is it the same?

  • Re: Failed to start with Satellite L300

    Hello
    I'm on a Toshiba Satellite L300 Windows Vista,
    I recently had my browser (Google Chrome) freeze so that the page that I was on was using Java.
    I went to reset, but once Vista began to start it would not go beyond the loading bar.
    Then, I went to boot from a drive to install Vista and met the same problem.

    I tried to start with the controller Mode SATA changed compatibility.
    This allowed the Vista disc load up successfully but did not allow for options but command prompt and from the Startup Repair.
    I ran Startup Repair twice and that Vista would load to the top of the loading bar then reset and loop this model.
    I don't know where to go from here, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    Perhaps, your laptop is infected with the virus, and you cannot load windows. You can search and find a software like Kaspersky Anti-virus 8.0.0.506 Emergency Bootable CD and search for viruses. I wonder why you could not start Vista drive in AHCI Sata Controller Mode, I know the sata drivers are already integrated into Vista.

    Run "bootsect/nt60 ALL" into the command prompt, and then press ENTER. Wait and eject the Vista disc, reboot. Hope, it helps to have you tried to install from hard drive recovery image?
