Re: Satellite M40 will sometimes not start

Hello

I would be grateful if someone could suggest what may be wrong with my laptop.

Sometimes it just does not start up - turns on, fan comes on and then it stops.
Sometimes it starts but the screen is black.
Most of the time it begins after a few attempts-, but now I can't turn it off!

Thank you.

Hello

Different reasons may be responsible for this.
Memory faulty RAM, motherboard, more high temperature, etc. problem

In your case, I recommend checking out the cooling modules you must clean the modules and should remove the dust.
Dust can prevent the fans to work with best performance and this leads to a temperature more high which affects the internal parts.
I have clean the fans at any time using a jet of compressed air.

On the other hand, it could be a problem of mobo, but this cannot be solved in common user just an ASP may be able to detect the fault and fix it

  • Satellite A200-1BJ does not start

    Hello

    My Satellite A200-1BJ does not start. After turning on the button it starts only for 1 or 2 seconds (flashing light, work from HDD, fan work, display blank) and then it turns off automatically. Once it happened days before but I didn't have the time to solve it and over the next few days, he has not occurred. Now, I tried to launch it more than 20 times and it still won't start.

    I tried only with full battery and also only with the power adapter. I removed the HDD, RAM, keyboard, DVD, speakers, display and a few other connector under the keyboard and it still does not start and it shuts down after 1-2 seconds each time.

    In recent months he sometimes exploded due to overheating during work so I cleaned the dust inside.

    No problem with the motherboard or power?

    Thanks for help.

    Hmmm... on this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is. described behavior is the same as in cases when the BIOS is dead after failed BIOS update installation.

    Of course, it's mainboard problem but what exactly, it is not easy to say. For me, this looks like faulty BIOS.

    Have you installed any updates or anything that may be responsible for this?

  • Why Satellite Pro A300 does not start when you press the power button?

    Suddenly my new Satellite Pro A300 does not start correctly when you press the power button. The situation is the following: when I press the power button is displayed the opening of Toshiba (Leading Innovation) and the disappers image quickly. Then there is a black screen for about 30 seconds. There is a rectangular frame with the text Microsoft Corporation under. And nothing happens however long wait.

    In order to get with the trial starting I then shut down the computer by pressing the power button until the computer turns off. ("The hard way to close")
    Now, I press the power button shortly to turn on the computer. Then, the computer starts normally with the photo to open Toshiba and after a few seconds, I wonder to open the computer in safe mode or in normal mode. I now choose to open in normal mode and the computer opens normally and is ready to work.

    What should I do to get a normal departure procedure?

    When the laptop starts normally (after choosing normal mode) stop your laptop properly using START > shut down option. Next launch should be normal.

    When the OS is moving towards the low irregularly will always ask you how to start this new (secure or normal mode).
    The same thing happen on my Satellite A300.

  • Satellite C650 - Windows does not start correctly

    I have a Satellite C650, who does not start, when it lights there are two options, Startup Repair launch which leads to a black screen and mobile arrow, the screen remains like that until you turn it off the button stop (seriously ive left for about 10 hours). The other option is to start windows normally resulting in a blue screen and the laptop restarts itself.

    Help me please, make things worse I can't find the box that it came in which contains the guarantee and recovery disc

    Hey Buddy,

    You can start your laptop in safe mode? This means that if you press the F8 key before Windows starts and you choose Safe mode can you start Windows?

    If this isn't the case I think that it s something wrong with your Windows installation and that's why you need to use the Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings.

    My Satellite P200-143 does not start. The led lights up and the drive light flashes once then nothing. Holding the buttome 'on' for 10 second light outside.

    I tried to take out the battery for the afternoon, but no effect

    Any suggestions?

    P

    It looks like a dead last.
    The P200 is a new series and I think that the guarantee is valid. Then contact the ASP in your country and ask for help.

  • Re: CDrom on Satellite M40 will not start

    Hi all

    My cdrom on Satellite M40-142 drive won't start!
    If I choose to boot from the dvd/cdrom, always my laptop boot from the disk. In my view, is a bios problem. Is it possible to reinstall my BIOS?

    Thank you very much

    Mario

    Hello

    > my m40-142 cdrom drive won't start!
    > If I choose to boot from the dvd/cdrom, always my laptop boot from the disk

    The possible reasons:

    1. it does not work. Is it read cd/dvd discs when you insert the?
    2. the cd/dvd disc you insert (ithink, you're talking about windows disk) not bootable.

    > . In my view, is a bios problem. Is it possible to reinstall my BIOS?

    Yes, you should check for Bios on the Toshiba driver page:

  • XP labors heavily and Will does not start (sometimes even in safe mode.) "And if it starts in the DM, it will freeze when I try to enter to change anything).

    I have a XP computer. During use, the power supply cord unplugged and computer is dead. When I tried to restart it, it will go to the blue screen with an error, go to the screen that asks if I want to start in safe mode. It does not start in normal mode, but it does get my wallpaper and stay there. Sometimes Windows XP screen and stay there. It really starts to make a lot of noise when one of these things happens. Don't know what to do. I have a XP OS disk Dell provided with the computer. Any ideas?

    Repair the Windows XP installation - you should have all your files intact.

    A repair install will replace the system files with the files on the XP CD used to the repair facility. It will leave your applications and settings intact, but Windows updates will have to be reapplied.

  • Satellite L500-164 does not start sometimes

    Heyas!

    For most laptop does not start on the first attempt. The Power LED lights up, the cooler and the HARD drive start (it looks that they rotate exactly once) and that's it. After a few seconds the laptop turns off again. There is no screen and the LED on the HARD drive also not would light up. If that happens, I start the laptop again and again. In most cases I need to start 2 - 3 times, but once I had to start 20 times until it worked.

    I also tried to start just with the power supply (I hope that's the right word for it, I'm German = D) and took the battery out of it, but the result was the same.

    But when the laptop finally started, it works without problem.

    Greetings,
    Daniel

    It is not easy to say what the problem is but it certainly is hardware related issue and your laptop must be verified by the authorized service partner Toshiba. With the help of diagnostic tools that they can find out why this happens.

    Here in this virtual world we can only speculate on the possible reasons.

  • Satellite M40-225 does not Windos 7 or Vista?

    Hey,.
    I am trying to install Windows 7 on my Toshiba Satellite M40-225, but it does not start after installation. After completing the installation of Windows will try to start for the first to say "prepare your computer for his first start" then after 5 seconds or it will restart and do the same thing again...

    The same problem also happens with Windows Vista.

    If you have any ideas it would be much appreciated. I thought maybe the RAM, but it passes all Diagnostics, even with the hard drive.

    This model of laptop is not designed for Vista or Win7 and equipment do not correspond to the requirements and standards for the two operating systems.

    Do you know how old is Satellite M40?
    To be honest, I really wonder that you try to install the newest OS on this old laptop model.

  • Satellite U940-102 does not start

    My U940-102 will not start today.
    It was a very good laptop until I "upgraded" to Windows 10 this summer, after the startup is slow (probably the upgrade did not consider configuration RAID of SSD/HDD) and sometimes an update of Windows 10 would be stuck - once I don't see no choice but to remove the battery, who killed the dead battery. Since then he had occasional drive glitches, then yesterday an other update of Windows 10 has taken time, then showed a "disc of recovery. - can take more than an hour" message. A minute later the system was running, but when I turned on the laptop today, I'm just a black screen and the erratic whirring fan more a bit of noise disc, two white LED lighted at the front.

    The good news is that:
    -J' have a backup of my data to an external HDU, although there are a few recent files I want to retrieve from the PC
    -J' have a "twin" of the PC, a nearly identical and work U940-102 also "upgraded" to Windows 10.

    Then, how should I proceed?
    It is likely (as I suppose) that the problem is only a defective HDU and replace the HDU and the battery?
    If it's the HDU, should I replace it with another SSD/HDD Unit (which) or just a pure SSD ((who)?
    I should do or try before you buy the new HDU?
    What I have to do a Setup disk on a 16MB USB and if yes it would be sufficient to do this go the 'twin' on WIndows 10?
    I'll have to migrate Windows 8 to 8.1, and then to 10 or can I skip a step?

    Thanks for any help!

    Always in the hope of help.

    I have created and checked a system recovery on a USB flash using Toshiba Recovery Media Creator on the 'twin' U940-102.
    That was ok, but with the USB stick in the defective PC flash, nothing happens.
    The PC is set to ignore USB key when starting or I'm doing something wrong.
    I tried holding down the power button (after that 7 seconds the PC turns off), and then now zero key while
    pressing power again, but it just whirs on the HDU and, occasionally, the CPU with a completely black screen fan.
    Tried all three USB connectors, but no difference.

  • Satellite Pro A120 - does not start with 4 GB of memory

    Hi all

    I'm new here so please be gentle!

    I have a Satellite Pro A120, model No. PSACOE - 037014EN and you want to increase the memory 512 MB present. I tried 2 different sets of memory 4 GB (2x2gb), but the machine does not start. I tried the different modules together and on their own but still no joy.

    Where I'm going wrong? This model will not take 2 GB memory modules?

    Any advice will be appreciated.

    Best regards

    Dr. Feelgood

    Hello

    Before changing something about your hardware, please make sure that if the computer supports the new pieces of material and, therefore, you can also consult the user manual.

    Anyway, I checked this and this laptop can only be upgraded to 2 GB maximum. This means that you can use the module of 1 GB in each slot and * no * 2 GB in each slot.

    So please bring back the memory modules and buy 2x1GB. It will work.

  • Satellite M40-276 - memory not detected in the Bios upgrade

    Hi people!

    New kid on the block!

    I have a client with a toshiba Satellite m40-276. I've updated his memory to give it a little more to play with...

    Went into the bios to see if everything was OK but no projected additional memory. I removed the new and old memory and put in the new 1 GB module and restart the computer.
    The bios has not yet changed the size of the old memory?

    Went to windows and of course that the memory has been detected it normally?
    I added the other memory module and went into the bios again, but no change it?

    Windows, however, recognized that the two modules?

    His computer is the same bios to factory and has never been updated.

    My questions are... why the bios doesn't recognize the upgrade memory? It will help in upgrading the bios?

    Enjoy all the suggestions I can get on this issue.

    Thank you

    bookie56

    Generally, if you upgrade RAM using tested compatible modules, that should be recognized correctly.
    We do not know what modules you use, and I guess that there is a compatibility issue.

    RAM on Satellite M40 276 can scale up to 2 GB of RAM and compatible modules are:
    DDR2 400/533 256 MB (PA3389U - 1 M 25)
    512 MB DDR2-400/533 (PA3412U - 1 M 51)
    1 GB OF DDR2 400/533 (PA3411U-1M1G)

  • Satellite L40-139 does not start

    Hello, I have a problem with the SATELLITE L40-139

    the thing is when I press the power button / stop, hard drive led will begin to Flash, CD-ROM led is lit and the screen is black. I noticed that advise in the CD-ROM makes a sound ICT in the same way the hdd led flashes (when it flashes I hear a tick form CD, yes I unfolded any computer laptop).

    I can only say that I have connected my PC HARD drive and it's working., good fan is not working too, but I think it will start, after some time (as he always did)

    Notebook crash circumstances are now saying: that a year ago, he fell from 1 inch (such height ;]) I saw that the ribbon cable connecting the touchpad to the mohterboard was broken and my diidn can't start computer, I thought that there's a problem, but I forgot and left the laptop for more than 9 months (with hard disassebled and battery and cd-rom drive) and then I decided to try to turn it on.
    And viola! It works it boots etc.

    After a month of being happy, I'm drunk I couldn't sit on the Chair and I decided to sleep with my laptop on the bed, I lied right down and put the laptop on my belly and it crashed (screen freezes) so I decided to reboot, but it does not start.

    Here is a video with what I get when turning the power on it: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jC0pGBBVwJk] (not Fortunately my phone fell in the mud and shifts when I record videos)

    Some people suggest I should connect an external display to see if theres no picture but the result is always the same. (Screen not even fuels not on)

    Maybe someone could help me fix without sending it to the customer service.

    See you soon.

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here. Of course, you can try to do some tests and try to make some conclusions which may be wrong. After his last stop somewhere I think that there is big problem with graphics card. Of course I can't say it for sure.

    Diagnosis just exact mainboard can offer answers. I m afraid mainboard is dead and must be exchanged.

  • Satellite L40 - 15G - does not start, only power LED lights

    Hello.

    I have a Satellite L40 - 15G that will not start. I click the power button, or with the battery, and only the power led alternately. I can open and close the cd/dvd, but nothing else works. No beeps when I remove the memory, the hard drive led blinks even. I tried with another hard drive, and it's the same thing.

    Could this be the motherboard, the processor?

    Appreciate the help!

    Hello

    Unfortunately, it looks like a hardware malfunction. I guess that it s related to the motherboard or perhaps CPU, if you have already tried another memory module.

    You should go to an authorized service provider. Guys have good diagnostic tools to check your laptop and repair. In addition, they can order spare parts Toshiba.

    Sorry, but everything that s what I can say. Here he only a user to s forum
