Re: Satellite Pro L300 - unable to get into the BIOS or boot

I have a Satellite L300, who will not get past the POST or the Toshiba start screen. It says to press F2 to enter setup or F12 for the boot sequence, but by pressing buttons does nothing and nothing happens - it just stays there. the HARD drive activity light flashes for a few seconds, then stops.

I tried the new RAM and a HARD drive different, both with the connected power and battery alone without success!

someone at - it suggestions?

Hi jhilton0105,

Hmm, I think that you have tried everything you can do, and in my opinion, it seems to be a hardware malfunction. Maybe it s related to the motherboard, CPU, module ROM or something else
I think that your laptop should be verified professional people to get rid of this problem.

You can find a list of aspic here:

Good luck! :)

  • U940-11N SATELLITE - cannot get into the BIOS or Boot Menu

    Hello

    I am currently in the processing you want to perform an update of the operating system on my laptop. When I bought the laptop in a well known department store, it came loaded with Windows 7, despite the operating system preloaded in Windows 8 when buying.

    I already disabled fast closing down, such as recommended elsewhere on the forum. However, after the closure of many downs and startups, based on all kinds of combination of keys to try to get the menu of boot or bios, I can't do it. It starts directly to Windows.

    I tried to boot from an aswell as a bootable USB external DVD drive.

    I tried F2, F12, F10, ESC and DEL at the start, but nothing. With pressure repeated, with continuous waiting, with the FN button, just in case... just nothing!

    Could someone provide an overview of this please?

    Kind regards
    Jamie

    Thanks for the feedback jamieb!

    Hello

    Have you tried to press F2, immediately after the laptop was turned on?
    Press F2 repeatedly in the line.

    Otherwise I recommend starting the utility HWSetup from Toshiba. (All programs-> Toshiba-> Utilities-> HWsetup)
    Here you can change some settings of the BIOS like him setting the Standard (default).
    I think you'll need spend the quick start the normal start because you said that you can not see the Toshiba start screen.

    Thanks for any help

    Hello

    The question is: why you want to update the BIOS?
    Is there something wrong?

    As you know, the BIOS update is a sensitive technique.
    My laptop works with old BIOS and I did not upgrade to update even if the new version has been released I didn't update because my camera is ok.

    However, it seems that the two series are similar, but I think there are still some minor differences besides the BIOS update should not continues if the wrong version would be selected

  • Satellite Pro 6100: cannot get into the BIOS and does not start

    I have a portable Satellite pro 6100, en I was trying to boot from an external USB hard drive. When I activated the second hard drive option in the BIOS it has stopped booting all in all, I can't even get into the BIOS Setup more. All I get is "In touch with tomorrow TOSHIBA" screen with the icons to select the method of priming preferred manually after it's just blank screen with a cursor blinking in the upper left.

    Press ESC or F8 before to turn usually results in fast beeps sounds.
    Press tilde (~) before turn is reflected in the remaining space screen (not even the home toshiba screen appears) and slow Zens sounds.

    Apart from that I can't really do nothing at all.
    I tried to reset the BIOS by disconnecting the battery CMOS/RTC (hoewever, we call it) of the motherboard for a while with no results.

    Turn on/off without the results of HD internal in a white screen with an ERROR 'IDE #0.
    I can always stop by pressing the power button, you don't have to bother on the external hard drive it past I don't even want it works more.

    Suggestions?

    Hello

    I agree with Graeme. Your HARD drive is probably faulty. Sorry, but I don't think that you will be able to use the external HARD drive. The option in the BIOS is not for EXTERNAL HARD drive is just, I guess, for disk HARD placed in select Bay.

  • Pavilion P6-2378: Cannot get into the BIOS

    I've recently updated my BIOS to v8.19 on my motherboard of Jasmine using service pack SP67068 after seeing a security warning on my original BIOS on the HP driver update site.  After the update, I am unable to enter the BIOS and more!  I see more startup or other screen.  Here's what I've done so far:

    (1) I entered "bcdedit/set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy" (and standard).  No splash screen.

    (2) I momentarily pressed and also pressed the ESC key during several start ups.  No splash screen.  When I press ESC after turning, the drive just stops.  To continue, I have to press Ctrl-Alt-Del to continue, and it starts Windows normally without a splash screen.

    (3) I went to change the settings of pc and navigated at startup in the UEFI Bios, but after the restart, but the computer crashes just until I press Ctrl-Alt-Del, then it boots normally into windows 8.0, but without the boot (legacy or HP splash) screen.

    (4) I opened the discount to zero the BIOS jumper and removed the battery for 5 minutes, several times.  No splash screen and press ESC or F10 after that reboot causes hang until you press Ctrl-Alt-Delete.

    I wouldn't have updated the BIOS if it is not for the security warning, as it worked very well. Now, I can't get into bios no more.  Help, please.

    Hello!  Yes, your right, it's the graphics driver!  But I had already updated just before I had this problem, so I rolled back the driver and still had the problem.  But then I realized that my TV is connected to the computer when I upgraded and downgraded the graphics driver.  I've updated the driver with the TV disconnected and VOILA, I see the spash screens and am able to get into the BIOS.  The graphic resolution of boot has been masking splash screens.  THANK YOU for your help.  I am very grateful.

  • Cannot get into the BIOS on my Sat A30

    Hi all

    I have problems to enter the BIOS. I heard when I want to get into the BIOS I have to press the ESC key when Toshiba logo is shown in the startup.

    But nothing happens!

    Could someone help me?

    Sammy23

    Hi Sammy23
    That is right. It's actually the ESC you press. But there is more to know. During the time where appears the Toshiba logo, that represents about 1.5 seconds or so machine "listens" for the ESC at the beginning.
    Means that you have to be quick like a cat to press ESC. I usually press ESC several times all the way to the market (until the Toshiba Logo is displayed). Try this. Another way to get into the BIOS uses Toshiba HWSetup (looks like a key any) in the in the Windows Control Panel. You can access almost all the parameters of the BIOS from there.

    Hi Thomas,

    The normal to access the BIOS path will be to press ESC then F1 during startup. This will give you the BIOS menu. Some laptops use ESC to show the progress of the POST and F2 to enter the BIOS menu.

    F8 will allow you to start in safe mode.

    F12 to select boot device (disk, CD, etc.).

  • I can't get into the bios

    When I restart my laptop I have the HP logo with the small "leak of press to enter the boot menu. Usually, when I press ESC at this stage, it gives me options to go into the bios, change the boot order and enter the Recovery Manager.

    But earlier when I try to do it, by pressing esc it will start in the windows Boot Manager, giving me the boot options in windows or to do a test of memory and I don't see any option to get into the bios!

    Laptop model: HP Pavilion dv6 3030ee!

    Thank you

    Finally I solved it! I just took the battery and put it again! then my cell phone is ok

  • T530: Cannot get into the bios

    Hello.

    The issue of this link does not seem to be solved with the last update of the BIOS (or it's a similar question).

    I'm running 2.04 and since I have set to UEFI boot only I can't get into the BIOS. When I press Enter to interrupt normal startup the screen goes black, it seems to interrupt the boot but nothing looms on the screen. Starting continues after a few seconds (I guess that after the time-out of the screen of the interruption).

    There seems to be a problem with the code modesetting, because if I connect to an external monitor to the VGA port everything works correctly.

    Note that what is happening with optimus, as well as with only the active Intel card.

    Thank you.

    This seems to be fixed with the last BIOS update (2.07).

    Although a little more comments would be welcome.

    Thank you.
