Satellite 2405-201 will not start a windows

It's a very strange problem. Well everything worked well until I have shut it off. After turning the power on I had a Toshiba screen with the start menu for a few seconds and after that I got is a black screen with blinking cursor. Keyboard does not work. Once I get to windows, but that's just my guess that after emptying a battery everything returns to normal.

Anyone have any idea if it is fault or some settings I don't know / and one last question how to get to BIOS in this laptop?

    Hello

    You are able to access the advanced boot menu by pressing F8 while turning on the unit?

    If you are able to do so, you should try to start the computer using one of the advanced options available in the start menu.

    You can try to start the laptop computer using the last known good configuration or you can try to repair the system by automatically selecting the repair my computer option, you can try to start the machine in safe mode to access important data on the HARD drive.

    Finally (after data backup) I would recommend to recover the laptop using the Toshiba recovery media

  • Satellite A105-S4164 - will not start only white screen

    Hi all
    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A105-S4164 that will not start.

    I thought that maybe there is a problem with the battery. I took out the battery and then plugged the laptop to the power outlet, makes no difference. The blue lights in the front of the laptop, lights, but I hear no noise from the motherboard or the fan. The laptop is bought in July 2006 and it is out of warranty.
    All I see is a white screen.

    My guess is that the motherboard must be replaced. I have also had kept with Symantic anti-virus and windows updates XP before April 1, 2009.

    Thank you for your comments.

    You can see an image on an external monitor?

    Well, I think that in this case the laptop must be verified by the technician for laptop. You should contact an ASP and ask for help. It would be the best way because the technician can be sure what parts are defective.

  • Re: Satellite L300-1AS will not start

    Hi all

    Now my L300 will not start not (windows (Vista).
    It shows a blue screen saying that windows has been shut down and to check the installation of new hardware or software.
    There is no new hardware or software. He suggested to disable the bios memory options (I don't know how to do this) and suggests to start in safe mode to remove or disable components.

    The laptop does NOT start in any mode not to mention safe mode, repair mode that brings back me to the blue screen as described.

    Hello

    Yes, the recovery disc's one disc it s DVD ;)

    Return to be issued;
    I think that it s material related since the recovery disk should work for sure.
    The blinking cursor can be related to a faulty memory or HARD drive.
    Both should be checked.

    You could remove a memory module and might try to power the device using a single memory module in a slot.
    Of course, the best would be a use of two new modules

    The HARD drive can be checked using a tool called Drive Fitness Test (it of free use google to find it)

  • Satellite A300 Vista - will not start cd/DVD with backup

    Hello world

    I have a big problem with Toshiba a300. Windows Vista is not starts.

    When I choose the second option in my laptop restart every time.

    I tried after turning on the computer, press F8, but all the option in this menu do NOT fix the problem.
    I have no CV/DVD to my computer.
    After the first time I don't burn DVD with backup.

    I have really now how can I install system with recovery patriction. What softwere I need and how do I do it?

    Thanks for help

    Hello

    Sat A300 and other new models of laptops are equipped with HARD drive recovery option. This HARD drive recovery should allow you to recover the laptop without the use of all disks.
    In order to start the procedure for HARD drive recovery, you need to press F8. Then choose the first option called fix my computer. Then new window pops up and there you have to choose Toshiba HDD recovery. All that s.

    But if this procedure don't work (no matter why) then you will need to use the Toshiba recovery disc. If you n t create a floppy disk for recovery of a hand and the laptop will not start, then you will have to buy a drive for recovery of this page:

  • Satellite Pro L300 will not start

    I have a portable Satellite Pro L300 and he won't start (in other words the power button and not going not past the first screen).

    Works for keyboard, but F2, F8 or F12 will not do anything, I can't here the disk hard powerup but it's like no one is at home. I don't know if it's the motherboard or the onboard battery. The computer is about 7-8 years

    Can anyone help.

    It s certainly nothing wrong with a RTC battery (as you said internal battery).
    The RTC battery can be charged. The unit must be turned on and adapter must be connected at least for about 18 hours.
    But I guess that this isn't a problem.

    The laptop does not start because of a hardware malfunction, but it's hard to say what role may be affected. But you should absolutely consult the RAM modules.
    This should be the first step, since the RAM modules are easy to replace.

    All other parts should be checked by the type of service.

  • Re: Satellite M70-364 will not start

    Hi I have a satellite phone and it does not start. When I press the power button, I get the Toshiba sign, then a white screen. A few seconds later, it goes back to the toshiba screen. I tried another hard drive, but it is always the same. I can enter the bios and checked that it is set to boot from the hard drive and nothing else. But that left me speechless as to what could be the cause of the problem. Any help would be appreciated.

    Makes me think it's motherboard (southbridge) failure. In this case, the entire motherboard must be replaced. Get the live Cd of Windows disc to check

  • Satellite P300D-110 will not start up normally

    My P300 - 100 d will not be running normally.

    It crashes after the ad that Windows is starting.
    Firstly I have to boot in safe mode, and if I'm lucky it will start normal after choosing "restart".

    The strange thing is that this problem appears only after that the laptop has been stop for awhile.
    If I start shortly after a stop, there seems to be no problem. I use Windows Vista Home Premium SP1.

    Someone at - it an idea?

    TNX in advance!

    It is a strange question.

    Did you look in the event viewer? Maybe you can see something on this issue.

    In addition, I would like to make a BIOS update.

    Sorry that I can't give you more advise, but in his case, it is not easy to say what the problem is.

  • Computer will not start after windows checkdisk thing?

    My office has gone through a few microsoft checkdisk thing today (16\11\2010), and after that it's over, my com could not start more.

    It would be to start all the way until the logo Windows XP there and after loading was done and usually, it would be a blue screen with your user account, but however he just showed a black screen and I waited a certain 20 minutes and nothing happened.

    Then, I tried to reboot 10 times over and always to the same black screen.

    When I tried the thing Safe Mode would stop any loading at some point of the code, which is

    multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\agp440.sys

    That's what was on my setup on my desktop that I accessed:

    "Primary Master" > Hitachi HDP72502
    Primary slave > no
    Secondary master > HL - DT - ST GCE-852
    Secondary slave > HL-DT-STDVD-ROM

    Basic version of the BIOS > V6.0
    Revision of BIOS 3.25 23/09/2003

    Anyone know what is happening and how can I solve this problem?

    In the Boot Options menu advanced F8, choose this option and describe the results:

    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

    Let us know if you do not see this option in the Advanced Boot Options menu.

    You will not get far if you can't start something, so if you have a CD/DVD player, do you have a bootable XP Recovery Console in order to have room for manoeuvre, boot on the CD, run chkdsk /r and then you can start solving the problem (instructions below).

    You are once started in the Console recovery XP and after running chkdsk/r, then you will be able to see if KB324764 will help you.

    Please provide additional information on your system:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, MSE, Comodo, etc..

    If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

    This is not the same as recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.

    You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

    The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

    xp_rec_con. ISO

    Download the ISO from here:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

    Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

    http://www.ImgBurn.com/

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

    It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

    For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the command prompt.

    Start by checking the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

    In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

    Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

    Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

    CHKDSK C: /r

    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.  It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

    Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

    You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

    Do, or do not. There is no test.

    I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!

    Please help someone?

    Hello Morta

    If the unit is connected to the power supply and if there is no response after pressing power button must be some hardware malfunction. Press the power button and hold down for a few seconds. I put t know how old is your device but it is possible that the warranty is still valid. Please contact the customer Service of your country partner and let check the device. The warranty will cover the costs.

    Hello

    How did you try to boot from the CD drive?
    Have you tried to press the C key immediately after starting the laptop?

    Alternatively, you can press F12. The start menu should appear and you should be able to choose the drive as a boot device.

  • Re: Satellite T110-107 will not start in the form of recovery option using the f8 key.

    I tried several times and can't get the option of recovering your system by typing intermittently the * key f8 during the startup * as it says in the manual, it will just directly in Windows. I just installed the latest version of the BIOS, but that did not help either. I have no recovery discs, but I would get the f8 problem solved in any case. Everything else works perfectly. Thank you.

    Hello

    Maybe you didn t press F8 in the right way
    You must press F8 immediately after the laptop has been powered!
    Press several times to be sure 100%

    If this does not work, create the recovery disk! This should be done first before you do anything with the laptop!
    The recovery disk is always important and useful if something goes wrong with the HARD drive!

    After you create the recovery disk using this drive to put the laptop in the same State as on the first day of purchase
