• Tecra M2 does not start successfully - zeroes appear all over the screen

  Help!

  My Tecra M2 does not start. After the toshiba logo, a series of zeros (0) appear all over the screen.

  -suspect it is caused by a virus, I formatted the HD (in another PC), but still the zeros appear
  -I might want to start in the DVD player, it seems to read the disc, but nothing happens, just a cursor flashing at the top left of the screen
  -J' I reset / replaced the RAM, but still no effect.
  -the power button works, lights and shuts the laptop but does not start.
  -CPU fan works
  -LED indicators of work are power, battery, dvd, wireless. Does not have HD LED light on.

  Any suggestions on how to solve this problem is greatly appreciated.
  See you soon!

  Hello

  I think we can exclude HARD disk failure because you are able to format it in another computer.
  As you suggest the RAM modules has been replaced but the problem persists
  So in my opinion, a motherboard problem would be possible

  But as you know, it of really difficult to say what might be exactly wrong
  I think that the technician should check the laptop then it would be possible to say what part is malfunctioning

  In any case, I think a motherboard might be affected

• Tecra A6 does not start with battery only

  Hi all
  I'm having a strange problem with a Tecra A6 I picked up recently at the refurb because it does not start with a battery only: it starts only when / sector is also connected, but eventually DΘmarrer on battery alone (and works fine) with the power cord removed shortly after pressing the power button. It's just on battery alone, I get no answer by pressing the power on button (so the power outlet must be set at this first stage or I don't get anything).

  Now I'm wondering if maybe it's the battery voltage? It seems that there are 2 options for this model, a 10.8 v and the other at 11.1V. With loaded Windows and Hardware Monitor reports running the battery is at 0% wear level and cool until completely (so I don't think that the battery is faulty), but it indicates that the battery is running at * 11, 1V, * but the battery installed is actually the * model 10.8v*. Could that prevent any power on only to batteries?

  More information on the model I have:
  Tecra A6-PTA60E-0EJ013EN
  CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 2.0 Ghz
  2 GB of Ram.

  Thanks in advance for any help on this one. Essential, I would like to know is if I have a 11.1V battery to run this model correctly (and get it) on battery alone. If the voltage makes no difference so I guess it must be a weird motherboard problem and I need bother not buy a new battery.

  > Will have to buy another battery and see if the same thing happens (I'll know then if it is the motherboard), but in the meantime if anyone can let me know if the voltage is serious I would appreciate it.

  To my knowledge, the batteries for Tecra A6 should take in charge 10.8V
  There's piles more strong for example 5200mAh but the voltage must be the same 10.8

• Tecra M2 does not start

  I'm new havoing problems with my Tecra M2. can someone point me in the right direction with regard to breakdowns, I had a glance on the forum and the threads associated with the Tecra range but cannot find all threads that match my problem.

  In a short time, less than three days, I had a problem that began with the laptp re start when it has been moved to now does not start at all. All the lights are what I expect of them with the exception of the HARD drive indicator, that does not illuminate at the start of the boot sequence. Does that mean that my HARD drive or the connection at the disk has failed, measures of observation of fault that I can follow to confirm or deny my fears would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  If the HARD drive is faulty, then you should not be able to start the operating system, but you should be able to see the BIOS splash screen.
  You see that? Are you abele to access the BIOS?
  Please check this!

  To access the BIOS ESC and F1 press immediately after the laptop has been powered! If this is not possible then there might be something wrong with the motherboard or any other piece of hardware like RAM.

  If you are able to access the BIOS, then you should check if the HARD drive is recognized in the BIOS.
  You can also use the tool called Drive Fitness Test to verify the HARD drive!

• Tecra 8000 does not start after the BIOS update

  From one day to the other does not start my Tecra 8000 (400 MHz/256 MB BIOS 9.30 for years). After start-up, the disc starts to turn, but the screen including the backlight remains completely black, without red logo TOSHIBA BIOS is not accessible.

  I got a new mainboard on stock, so I replaced it, and it worked. Unfortunately now my WLAN card now did not work properly. I tried several settings of the BIOS with no results, so I decided to do an update of the BIOS from 7.50 to 9: 30. After the upgrade, I get the message "ROM WRITE successful, utility completed. LEADER BIOS: Tecra8000 v 9,30 ". Because what either kept silent, I pressed the power button to restart and heard a long and many short beeps (endless). I could interrupt what pressing the powerbutton for 5s.

  After turning on again I have the same problem as described in the first line :-( I can't get into the BIOS, but I can again update (with pressed F12). Once again these beeps.

  What to do with these beeps after average BIOS update? I replaced the MoBo connector LED with pension. Processor, memory, keyboard and HD has remained the same. So, before I start disassembling the machine, please notify, your help is very appreciated.

  Hello Joachim

  I'm not a technician and don t know what the beeps but I am afraid that the BIOS chip is damaged. Because of this, the unit is completely dead. Sorry, but I really don t believe you can do anything. Maybe the new motherboard again :(

• Why Tecra A3 does not start from CD/DVD?

  My laptop Tecra A3 does not react to the BIOS setting asking at the start of the CD/DVD.

  CD/DVD is the first place in the list of bootable devices (defined through F12 in boot sequence) the operating system starts with the HD. I have a chance to start with a bootable CD!

  The configuration is the following:

  Tip: TOSHIBA EAT10/EAT20
  BIOS: TOSHIBA V2.80 10/25/2006

  Any advice is welcome!

  Thanks in advance

  Antonio Giarrusso

  Have you tested with different CD bootable?
  Also try to start computer laptop using F12 and choose ODD as the first boot device.

  You can use ODD in Windows OS preinstalled?

• After the motherboard replacement Tecra S2 does not start

  Hello

  I replaced the motherboard in my Tecra S2 and now it does not start, the power light is on but nothing on the screen. I can hear the h/d running DVD lights.

• Tecra M2 does not start - the power light AC blinking orange

  Someone at - it a list of codes for the Tecra M2 flash.
  My friend has a laptop that does not start at the top. the AC power LED flashes orange. a long, short, long, short, long, short, long, short.

  I checked the battery and reinstall the RAM.
  Any IDE?

  Hello

  I agree with go.
  The ASP would be able to tell what means error.

  Usually means short and 1 long: 0
  So the error must be: 1010 1010
  Due to the last significant bit (LSB), to be read by behind:
  So it now means: * 0101 0101 binary *-> it must be converted to hexadecimal-> * 55 Hex *.

  Then, you will get a hex code.
  But unfortunately, I m not very well which could mean this code

  So ask ASP for help!

• Tecra M4 - does not start, no image on the monitor

  My Tecra M4 will not start.
  When I turn it on, all I hear is a quick check of the DVD player, a hum of hard drive and fan.

  I tried an external monitor and still see nothing.
  I also changed the ram, tried to start with disconnected HARD drive disconnected RTC battery for a while.

  I don't see anything on the screen at any time.

  Any suggestions?

  Hi TheXenon,

  In your case, I'll try this:
  Remove the battery and the AC adapter at least an hour. Then reconnect the two and try to restart your laptop.

  But at the moment for me that sounds like a hardware malfunction and you need help from a service allowed in your country. :(

• Tecra 9100 does not start in windows-black display

  Hi, just found this forum.
  I have problems with my old laptop Tecra 9100 that ive had since.
  I stopped last night, started this morning and now is no longer boots.
  It gets past the Toshiba screen and windows xp scroll bar screen seems in good condition.

  But then the screen turns black and does not go to the XP login screen.
  But windows does not work because if I press on enter newspapers in my profile (I hear the theme music for connection etc, and the HARD drive light is on, connect to windows...) It's just that I have no display at all?

  I also tried an external monitor, always the same, Windows XP, scroll screen still appears, but nothing else appears on the display.

  Any ideas? Hardware failure? (But the toshiba screen and 1 XP appears)? , Because the OS (even thought I can connect, although "blind")?

  Thank you

  It's strange... I put t think that there is a hardware problem because you can see the Toshiba start screen and like you say the Windows starts.

  My first thought was that your display is set to external monitor
  Looks like you have tested and nothing appears on the second screen?  :|
  Which is really strange.

  In any case after the laptop started try to use the key combination FN + F5 to switch to another screen, maybe it helps.

  You can also try booting in safe mode. Press the F8 key at the beginning.
  Then choose Safe mode.

• Tecra 8100 does not start.

  Hello. I have this Tecra 8100 I think sell for parts, because I am crazy about her. But before that, I ask you here as a last.

  It seems the section "power" of the laptop works very well: if I plug the power, the 'dc in' and 'battery' LED will light, and the "battery" led even go from orange to green when the battery is charged.

  If I press the button "power on", "power" lights up. The hard disk starts to spin. The fan does nothing, and no "beep" is heard at all. In addition, the screen does not display anything. External VGA output or output TV shows nothing, too. I repeat, that no. a BEEP is heard, until...

  I close the lid. A long beep is heard when I close the lid, but no trace of the image on the screen.

  I have changed or upgraded nothing notebook: memory, CPU, etc.

  I opened and took every piece of it: internal battery, motherboard, sound card, leds and buttons edge... and I tried to connect our case so t may be a short circuit with no luck at all.

  What is a BIOS problem?

  The BIOS can be reflashed in this State, as the AWARD BIOS?

  Are there keys or buttons I could press to enter a kind of mode to diagnose or service?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  The Tecra 8100 doesn t supports no internal memory. Two memory slots are available, and it depends on the unit memory has been installed.
  Always is it that you can improve it to max 512 MB (2 x 256 MB)

  Now to you deliver; It sounds like a hardware problem, but no one could be able to provide a diagnosis exactly what we can do is speculate on the fault.
  I think that it s a motherboard problem

  See you soon

• Tecra S1 does not start and hangs at the splash screen (boot)

  Tecra S1 model PT831E-107EQ-GR

  Problems started a month ago. Randomly, he didn't not started. After some power or off attempts it finally started and worked properly. I bought a new hard drive (Toshiba 40 GB) because it happened more often. I got Acronis True Image and planned to clone a disk to the new disk. The problem is that a cell phone now won't start any more so I can't boot from a CD or hard drive. It stops at the logo 'In Touch... "with text" Press [F12] for boot device selection menu ' and does not react any key. I tried to boot with no CD, no disk hard - the same thing. I also connected internal HD using ATA to USB adapter - even. This means that it is not a disk problem but motherboard, or other components? Is it possible to get into the BIOS before boot selection screen?

  Kind regards
  Jacek

  Hello Jacek

  Try to enter the BIOS to ESC settings initially upwards.
  The question is strange and I do not think that anyone here can offer the exact diagnosis. The fact is, you can use multiple bootable devices but if there is something wrong with the motherboard HARD drive CD/DVD doesn't work. CD/DVD or HARD disk controller is maybe defective.

• Tecra 8100 - does not start and no activity on the screen

  Hello

  My Tecra 8100 not start or take me to the BIOS Setup. It lights up, swirls the hard drive, but there is no activity on the display. The only way I can get something on the screen is turning with the F12 key when I get the 'ready for the update of the BIOS. Place the BIOS update diskette in the drive "... message. So I tried the traditional method of updating the BIOS, found on the Toshiba site, but nothing helped. The machine seems to read the disk (that contains the downloaded BIOS) but does nothing. It is just there for centuries, with the disk light.

  The last two days I have trawled thro much views and even took the whole machine goes to check the connections loose, but I found no answer yet.

  Can someone out there please help?

  Thank you very much

  Hello Rory

  I did the BIOS to be updated several times, but I've never seen this message at startup upward. You did it the traditional method as described in the document which you will find under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/faq.jsp?z=234&service=EU&from=faq_selection&CFID=B IOS & FID = TRO0000000b07?

• Tecra M9: Does not start at the local network after the value of BIOS password.

  Hi all, I have configured a supervisor BIOS password on a number of Tecra M9s but later found that this does not allow books to be PXE started - and a number of them require now that rebuild.

  I tried pressing the cursor keys in the first screen flash "Toshiba" (with the device down icons), but this will not allow to select the boot device - it's as if the keys are not pressed.

  I also tried to get into the BIOS to change boot device priorities, but I can't just to get into the BIOS in a limited form - there is no prompt to enter BIOS password.

  In brief - how can I work around this? -J' I need to know how to get the BIOS to ask the supervisor password (pressing ESC then F1 at boot only gives me the 'limited' BIOS)... Or, how to get the laptop for a PXE boot with a BIOS supervisor password.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  I would recommend pressing the F12 key, immediately after that the laptop has been powered.
  This would allow the start on-screen menu.

  Then choose the HARD drive as the boot source.
  Then you could boot into the operating system and could use the Toshiba HWSetup to clear the supervisor password.

  I guess the password is known to you

• Tecra M9 - does not start after memory upgrade from 1 GB to 3 GB

  I am trying to upgrade my M9 memory with little success. I bought a 2 GB module which is the same existing brand and spec to the 1 GB module, but the PC will not start no matter what options I try. So far I have tried:

  * Addition of 2 GB for the accommodation of extension from below (3 GB total)
  * Withdrawal of module 1 GB under the keyboard and its replacement by the 2 GB module

  None of these options work. The PC gives no beeps or indications that there is a problem, the led lights on the way to the top, the drive led flashes and then it goes into a wait state. Nothing happens.

  For the record, I bought initially upgraded memory that wasn't an exact match and I am now on my 3rd module suspecting a memory compatibility to be the issue. This current 2 GB module seems to fully match the 1 GB as well as being twice the size. It is:

  HYNIX 2GB 2Rx8 PC2 - 5300 s-555-12

  I am running Windows XP SP3

  The TECRA is a PTM91A Intel Duo T700 CPU 1.80 GHz

  Any help would be appreciated

  Hello

  To me it sounds like the new memory module is not functional or not compatible with the laptop. Otherwise the cell would start without any problem.

  If you bought the memory module in a store, you have to take it back and ask for a replacement.

  I n t have experience with Hynix memory modules. For the upgrade of my laptop, I used Kingston memory and it worked without any problem
