Re: Satellite P200-13F unbootable

Dear Sir

I have a Satellite P200-13F that no longer starts.

When I push the Start button that drive hard blinks several times, the cpu fan turns for a few seconds and the dvd drive light stays on.

Screen remains blank and that's it.

Anyone who has had the same problem.

Hello

It looks like a hardware problem
Have you tried using different RAM modules?

I put t know how RM module are in your P200, but if there are two modules, then you can try to boot the machine using that one module

A few months ago my girlfriend s notebook developed the similar question
I ve replaced the RAM and Notepad starts again.

But please don t understand me wrong. I put t say that this question is related to the faulty RAM memory, I think it could be a RAM, and if you want you could test it 100%.
But in my opinion if you n t want to waste money for some RAM modules without knowing exactly what's wrong then you should ask a technician for laptop for a control.

After these checks, you'd know what part is affected.

  • Satellite P200-13F slow with Vista installed

    Wow, after 2 weeks of waiting we had the newest Satellite P200-13F... fantastic... Well, is more then a couple of months... then the problems started to irritate. At the same time, we moved to another country... great, but the laptop is still away from work properly...

    In the computer store they told me laughingly that memory of 1 MB is really stupid. Everyone knows that Vista works well on 1 MB.

    So pass it... Yes, of course, to the place where? hahaha, only 1 MB more... a joke... But, we must try something... I m still crying... it doesn t do anything better then before...
    Today, Toshiba cares not less. I mean, they got the money and we have a laptop... or something that should work as it...
    Any laptop with Vista a minimum 2 MB and an upgrade to 4 MB...

    Logic that so many people complain about Vista. It will not work with 1 or 2 MB...

    No, you paid for something, which is stupid. We have to pay again to let XP is installed. Is option... fantastic, thank you very much, Mr toshiba...

    Is knowing how far I came up with this thing... This Toshiba... is there someone who knows how to fix this laptop, let me know...
    Our satellite is the laptop slower I have ever seen...

    Hello

    I have a Satellite P200 and it s great running; with Vista and Windows XP.

    First you misunderstood something; the laptop can be upgraded to 2 GB upwards and not to 2 MB ;) there is a big difference.

    Secondly the Vista works well also with 2 GB of RAM.

    I think you don t know much about computers because performance notebook doesn't depend only on the value of the RAM, but more CPU, GPU and Chipset installed!

    I think that your suggestion on nits P200 means that Notepad starts slowly, etc.
    In my opinion that you n t know that laptop computers are preinstalled with different applications that are run in the context of the OS and need material resources.

    These background processes are created by the software that controls the functions of the laptop as FN key, command buttons, touchpad, Toshiba Flashcards, internal camera, etc... etc.

    Also, the pre-installed Norton Antivirus can slow performance.
    I used the Symantec Norton Antivirus too and was not satisfied with the performance and so I deleted and replaced by the free tool called Antivir.
    My laptop is now faster and better managed, and better, I also used CCleaner to clean the operating system and the registry and removed unnecessary programs that slow down performance.

    Then maybe you should do that too and you will see that your P200 is a lot faster than you think!

  • Intel VT in the Bios of the Satellite P200-13F disabled?

    Hello

    I just bought a toshiba Satellite P200-13F and now I discover that the Vitrualization can be turned on in the BIOS.

    Can someone tell me if Toshiba plans to release a BIOS with this feature supported? I want to use the machine for virtualization with XEN.

    Thanks in advance,
    Michael

    Hi people,

    I think toshiba hasn´t integrated into the bios again. Maybe the option is available because the bios images are perhaps a chipset manufacturer, but they just didn t allowed them cause they did not apply all the routines of VT in the bios to handle VT-stuff of the Chipset/CPU.

    It's just a really wild theory on VT in computers laptop toshiba and I Don t know when they will do so and release a bios where you can activate it.

    Welcome them

  • Problem strange cover on Satellite P200-13F

    Hi guys,.

    I have a problem with the lid from 3 weeks. When I opened the cover and more than 90 degrees, then the screen the pixels on the screen darken slowly. This happens when I opened the lid gently. If I open it normally at 120 degrees the screen goes black immediately.

    Could someone tell me the cause of this problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    Orlan is right. Also, I believe that this problem is related to the LCD cable.
    As far as I know you can see when you remove the keyboard and plastic placed between LCD and keyboard cover (must be remove at the beginning).

    If you n t have experience with this things, perhaps you should seek professional help.
    This plastic is fixed with the plastic holders, so be careful with that. It can be damaged if you use too much force of mach.

  • Satellite P200-1EE - Vista stuck on the homepage

    Hello

    * My Satellite P200-1EE is stuck on the progress bar Windows Vista since yesterday morning * and I'm unable to contact my office.

    I tried several solutions using the F8 key at startup.

    1 / safe mode

    2 / startup repair. "Windows cannot repair this computer automatically.

    3 / the system restore. "No restore point.

    4 / windows complete PC Restore. "No restore point.

    5 / Windows memory diagnostic tool. It is said that there is no problem of memory.

    So I am only left with the options of 'Restore the full Windows operating system' and the 'command prompt '.

    But I'm not too sure of the latter option. That's where I need your advice.

    * If I go for complete Windows restore, the entire hard drive fade or just the partition where I have windows (for example, "C:")? * I have several years of family photos on another partition (D or E) that I would not lose enough.

    Obviously, * I do not lose data or software on C:, but not personal stuff D or E.*
    Could you advise me on the best option?

    Thank you

    Paul

    > If I go for complete Windows restore, the entire hard drive fade or just the partition where I have windows (for example, "C:")? I have several years of family photos on another partition (D or E) that I would not lose enough.

    Depends on the disc that you would use if you want to use the Toshiba recovery disc, then the whole HARD disk would be formatted, including all partitions on the HARD drive.
    If you want to use the disk in Microsoft Windows Vista, you can choose which partition has been formatted and where the Vista must be installed.

    > Clearly, I do not lose data or software on C:, but not personal stuff on D or E.
    > Could you advise me on the best option?

    If you n t want to lose the data stored on the D partition and if you don t have a disc of Microsoft Vista, install the OS of Visa then I would recommend, remove the laptop HARD drive. Then plug the 2.5 SATA HDD with a USB-SATA controller then this HARD drive to another computer.
    Usually, you should be able to access the D partition and would be able to move all the data to another computer.

  • HARD drive and memory upgrade on the Satellite P200 - 17 c

    Hello

    I own Satellite P200 17 c. My current memory is DDR2 PC2-5300 2 GB. I would like to upgrade to DDR2 PC2 - 6400 4 GB of ram. I can do and it's going to be some speed improvements, if I update to PC2-6400 PC2-5300 instead?

    I have 2 hard drives on my P200 17 c. 2 x 100 GB. I want to upgrade one of these two HD ranging from 100 GB to 320 GB 5400 RPM. can I do this? and it'll be a difference if I update with HD who has 7200 RPM?

    Thank you

    First of all: your machine is able to handle a maximum capacity of 4 GB RAM, but please be aware that you won´t be able to use all of the 4 GB due to some limitations of the chipset that are explained in the following article: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB82022E0000R01.htm

    Regarding the speed of module: chipset specifications are defined for PC5300, so it will not improve your speed when you install faster modules.

    If you want to upgrade your hard drive then do as you like, because it shouldn´t be any restrictions, you can install a drive with 7200 RPM with a slower.

    The only difference will be that the faster drive faster. The performance of the entire system would increase only when you´re install your operating system on the disk more fast (which is the recommendation of my side :))

  • Satellite P200 - 123 No Post, but still the boots

    Hello

    Have a strange, my old Satellite P200-123 worked extremely hot (70 inactive more than 100 of the load) 2 years so he disassembled and replaced the thermal grease, fans and cleaned. Standard maintenance went well, (apart from the microphone plug disintegrate at the start, but I use headphones so not really a problem).

    First boot after the interview I noticed that the screen does not display anything until windows log in screen, no toshiba screen, no post messages, etc. At first, I thought it may have lack of an external port (VGA or HDMI) however I tried to connect to an external device and he still refuses to show anything until the windows log on screen.

    I stripped and repaired hundreds of laptops (it's my job) but never encountered this in 15 years of maintenance and repairs PC and laptop. System running Windows 7 (not like it should make a difference) and the used thermal grease was the new Artic MX-3 and served on the GPU, the CPU and the Northbridge (and before someone says you must use the compound of unfounded pressure of toshiba ceramics, stuff I've used here are better for this the toshiba recommended stuff, believe me). The system works well (now idling at 39 and 65 at full load), I guess that's not much of a problem, unless I need to reinstall or restore my machine for some reason, all the world has an idea on how to fix this?

    Very interesting, Jaster! :)

    Thanks for sharing this information with us!

  • Can I build at the second disk on Satellite P200-1I4?

    Hello!

    Before all sorry for my bad English. =((

    I have a toshiba SATELLITE P200-1I4 and the question is: can I install a HDD (additional) more. Or there is only one SATA slot in this laptop? Unfortunately for laptop is not close to me now, and I can't remove the back panel and see.
    On the web site of Toshiba, I can't find any information about it.

    More information:
    SATELLITE P200-1I4
    S/N: z7269306k - M/n: PSPB3E-0J601MRU

    Thanks, and I hope that all written above is understandable. =)

    Best thing you can do is to remove the cover for the second HARD drive and see if the HARD drive connector is available.
    If this is not the case, there is no possibility to upgrade the HARD drive.

    Maybe someone on this forum has the same laptop model and can check for you.

  • Installation of WXP Pro on Satellite P200

    Hello

    I bought a Satellite P200 today and I want to remove the Vista Home Premium and install a WXP Pro, but I can't do it. There the chipset is Intel GM965 Express. I have compiled a DVD with files for the above mentioned chipset inf, but I have problems, if she sees HARD drive as 110 MB instead of 250 GB. I would really appreciate it if you would tell me step by step what to do to be able to install XP Pro. Thank you very much.

    PS: Sorry if I misplaced this thread

    do not take account of my thread... + solved the problem myself. drives the way I solved the problem is using a recompiled Windows xp pro with an ich + inf for intel. ;)

  • Satellite P200-1 b 6: Sound Driver update fails, and HD-DVD player does not work

    I just bought a laptop Satellite P200-1 b 6 and spent the day installing the updates recommended by the TEMPO programme. One of them was an update of RealTek audio driver but on run this it fails at about 80% of the way through with an error: "install Realtek HD Audio Driver failure!

    Now, the reader of HD DVD, Toshiba will fail with an error "unable to output the video to an external device.

    Please change your display keys of the device by pressing the Fn + F5 after the end of the application "." I tried this but it seems to have no effect.

    I'm now regretting starting to update the drivers installed. Should I try to rebuild the machine using the recovery discs or is there another solution that someone found? Or if others have found the upgrade work?

    All advice welcome

    Hello

    When I started using PC, one of my friends told me something: do not touch the well-executed system. I know that you, like so many other people out there, have updated things but as you can see, it can go in the wrong direction.

    This TEMPO software is good, but if all goes well the leave it as it is. What you can try is to use the System Restore tool and move the BONES to earlier time and hope everything will be OK again.

    Please post the result.

  • BIOS update failed on Satellite P200 - 13 M

    Hello world

    I have a Satellite P200, (PSPB6E-03G01XFR).

    I downloaded the new version of the bios of Toshiba-Europe Web site (v2.30) and I tried to use the Crisis_Recovery_Disk but no result. :(
    Can someone help me please?

    Unfortunately, in your case only the ASP can help you.

    Does your BIOS update fails and only the ASP can update the ROM module damaged by using a special version of the BIOS

    So, don t waste time and ask the ASP in your country to help.

  • Satellite P200 - minimizing on its own screens

    Hello

    I just bought a laptop Satellite P200 - 1 K 8. I'm having a problem with the screen pages minimize while I'm surfing the net / opening files, etc at random times?
    It's pretty frustrating - and I'm not sure if this is a Vista issue or the laptop itself?

    Someone at - it experience of this or had the same problem?

    Thank you very much in advance for your help with my question!

    Jay

    Check the touch pad settings, go to control panel, Classic view - mouse, then player settings and click settings for the touchpad. Then go to the box 'type' and disable tapping.
    "tapping" allows you to activate the touchpad to do different things when you tap the corners.

    (at least it worked for me on a P200-1EE)

  • Satellite P200-1EE PSPB6E: problem of battery and Webcam

    Hiya People,

    New on the Toshiba Forums here and stuck on a problem I have with this laptop.
    I have a Satellite P200-1EE model number: PSPB6E 0GM028EN. The election House of Uni a few days ago my refuses to laptop to turn on the laptop on and happening only when I put a Power cable in.

    I took out the battery cleaned with a can of Air and put it again and it worked but the next time I did nothing happened.
    Strange thing is that, once it is running, and I take the power wire, it works fine.

    2nd problem is the software integrated Webcam won't work for me. Sometimes, and when I restarted the laptop it works fine again.
    I tried to reinstall the driver but it gives warning that the newest is already installed on my laptop.
    Am I right in thinking that its due to the new version?

    Any help or Suggestions are appreciated and thanks in advance

    It is maybe something wrong with the battery of laptops of s?
    How old is your laptop? Guarantee is valid?

    As far as I know, the guarantee covers the battery for one year. Then maybe you should ask and ASP in your country for a control? Maybe the battery doesn't work as it should.

    > 2nd problem is the software integrated Webcam won't work for me. Sometimes, and when I restarted the laptop it works fine again. I tried to reinstall the driver but it gives warning that the newest is already installed on my laptop. Am I right in thinking that its due to the new version?

    I n t have a solution to deliver you but I assume that it s associated with the software/driver of webcam.
    You should visit the European driver Toshiba page from time to time and need to check if an update is available.

  • Satellite P200 accidents + message: graphic card driver does not work properly

    Hello

    hope that this issue has not been covered before, but I've owned a Satellite P200 for 3 years now, and this week, it crashes all the time.

    When it started going down he gave me a few messages in the sense of "your graphics card/driver does not work properly and windows will be arrested to avoid damage.

    It has progressed to the point where now when I turn it on, I have vertical lines running down the screen and the screen flashes on and outside. Within 20 seconds, it restores the BSOD - 'there was a problem and windows will be arrested. Error Page_Fault_In_Non_Paged_Area"then stops.

    I ran a system restore but the problem remains.

    I have a feeling that my graphics card is toast. Is this good? Are there any other options to try? Thanks in advance for any answers.

    Matt

    Hello

    Sounds like the GPU problem.
    But try the graphics card driver update.
    Use the most recent driver for your graphics card.

    In addition, clean the fans of portable computers.
    Dust and debris could prevent the cooling fans to turn with the best speed and this could lead to a higher temperature which would lead to overheating.
    Use a jet of compressed air. I also use it and it helps to get rid of dust and debris.

    If this is not enough, then a problem of graphics chip would be possible.

  • Satellite P200 - BIOS did not recognize my usb 3.5 drive "

    Hello
    I have a few years ago:
    Satellite P200-1FY
    Reference: PSPB6E-0QR035FR

    I just bought a new hard drive WD20EARS (2 TB) 64 MB of RAM,
    and I connected on an external box<-> SATA USB3 (closed hot 'cc'), so plugin on my toshiba via USB (USB2.0 card)

    I partitioned the drive with 2 parts (1 part FAT32 (enabled): 930KB and 1 NTFS 1, 89 GB)

    * My problem is :*
    I am not able to detect the drive by the bios (bios updated with 2.7 "bios - 20110124131826.zip"), in order, starting with partition FAT32)

    tests I've already done :*
    (1) connect this drive (WD20EARS) on a PC: HP 6530--> result b: drive is detected by the bios, it is impossible to boot the disk
    and the operating system is started correctly

    (2) plug in sametime a usb2 startup key and the disc--> result: WD20EARS disc is displayed on the selection of the bios (sometimes)
    but it is impossible to start on it. When I select the drive, the USB is booting

    Could you help me find the problem (bios, disk or box usb3) or have you updated to solve

    Kind regards

    Stand by.
    BIOS cannot detect the external HARD drive? You want to start OS saved on the external HARD drive? Is this correct?

    Tests 1 and 2 are related to this HP laptop?
