Satellite 2540 CDS, boot problem

Hello
I have a satellite 2540 CD and when I turn on the hard drive does not start. He made a little sound like it wants to start but then kind of stops. I have the power led, HD light, seeing the battery. The light on the drive is also on. I tried the reset button but nothing changes. The HD is fine and the power is very good. Is there a combination of magic button to turn it on? Help, please

Hello

As much as I know there is no magic button, but sometimes, it will be very useful to have a. Am I wrong?

In my opinion, you should try to enter the BIOS settings. Check if the HARD drive is recognized correctly. Alternatively, you can try to start the device using the departure of dick. Check if you can change to C:\ A:\ and verify if the contents of the HARD disk will be displayed correctly.

Good bye

  • Satellite A300D - 17G boot problem

    Hello

    I have a huge problem.
    Computer laptop fel floor, while it worked, then I picked up and it seemed fine.
    But, when I tried to get into a folder on your desktop it said it cannot because the disc or some sort of connection is not found, or something like that (the folder is on the D drive, which did not show in my computer, I have guessmeans that is broken or something).

    I restarted, and it's the same thing.
    Then I turned off t, he left for 10 sec, turn on again once, he came to the Microsoft loading screen and it doesn't move from here!
    It loads forever. I turn it off then I get two options - start windows normally and to start with fixing problem, I choose one and the same thing!

    It doesn't load... What is going on?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    You said that the folder is placed on D. What is a second partition on a drive HARD, or maybe that he s a second HDD?

    As far as I know the laptop supports 2 hard drives.
    In your case, I would check if two hard drives are recognized in the BIOS.
    You can also check if two drives are properly connected. The bays for HARD drives are placed at the bottom of the unit, you will need to remove the cover of the bay in order to get access to the hard drives.

    Of course, it could be also a problem of HARD drive because of the fall, the HARD drive could develop a fault and this could be the reason for this problem

  • Satellite 5200 701: RAM problem?

    Hello

    After my last thread, I could somehow isolate the problem further.

    My Satellite 5200 701 boots Win XP correctly, but when it is lifted upward or to the smallest shake the screen freezes or displays the Win screen in strange colors. When I hit carefully on its underside after you have started successfully, it crashes immediately when I touch the part of the cover of RAM.

    So, I guess it has something to do with the RAM. However, both RAM blocks have been verified by Toshiba, as well as the HARD drive.

    Does anyone have a solution?

    1 million thanks!

    Hi Moritz,

    According to your description of the problem, it is most likely something made intermittent contact where your RAM modules are connected. Try to remove and then reposition modules RAM themselves (by taking the necessary precautions of antistatic property course) to see if that helps. Make sure that the RAM modules are in place and properly locked in place.

    You can also try exchanging the RAM autour modules so that they are in the bays of spare.

    If your problem persists, then it is likely that there is a bad connection between takes of the RAM and the motherboard connections.

  • White screen satellite C650 - no Boot Up

    Satellite C650 - no Boot Up - white screen

    This laptop is just over 1 year.

    Laptop screen suddenly went white, he is stopped even if the battery was half full.

    It will charge is no longer and the charging light does not illuminate.

    Does not respond when you press the power button, even using from the mains.

    Is it a common problem with this model?

    It is possible to address the question, what are the steps involved in the process?

    Laptop needs spare parts to fix this?

    Thank you.

    > Is it a common problem with this model?
    Certainly not and something like this can happen on every laptop.
    On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what problem can be. All of a sudden switch OFF may be related to material high temperature and overheating.
    I put t know how I can you use your laptop on battery power, but I hope you don t use it in the lap or bed and the air vents are not blocked somehow.

    Place the laptop on the desktop and check if the same thing will happen again.

    When the laptop turns off and you leave it for a while, can you restart normally?

    In my book there is not written anything on the inbuild ethernet card. Photos of manual shows back of laptop, it has drawn no ethernet connector, but my laptop has had! Is this possible?

    Why toshiba is not talking about ethernet in the manual for CD of Satellite 1710 and my 1710 has? I don't understand.
    Windows ME cannot recognize this net adapter. I don't know what drivers should I look for. Please help me or give me advice. Thank you.

  • Re: Satellite P200 (PSPB6E) - keyboard problem

    Hello

    I have a keyboard with Satellite P200, series PSPB6E problem.

    Keyboard seems to generate Press Page Down constantly, although nothing has been paid to this subject.
    It is even difficult to turn on laptop, because it produced consecutive beeps and prevents the computer from starting.

    Sometimes some keyboard characters do not work, and in the second time it works. Sometimes same PgDown works as expected.
    Œuvres for additional keyboard, but it also receives PgDown keyboard of the laptop.

    Now, I can't insert any sentence in this post, because PgDown will move the cursor down.
    Laptop is under warranty. Should I enable it?

    I note that no. LIQUID is poured on the keyboard.

    On the keyboard of the computer laptop not work keys A, B, N, LEFT SHIFT, INPUT, same brief moments where PgDown keys not dumping. Sometimes even these key works!

    Best regards

    Great news, buddy! :)

    I also have good experience with my ASP. They fixed the laptop as soon as possible and the repair took only a few days. It's also free.

    So still I m happy with the service!

  • Access to Boot to install Satellite M50-A-110 problem

    Hello

    I just bought a Satellite M50-A-110 and wanted to install Win 7.

    Problem is that I have difficulties to access the bios press F2, esc, or DELETE...

    It worked (twice) if I could change boot USB (with a bootable USB key that I used on other computers to install win 7), still does not begin to earn 8...

    So I formatted the hard drive to get rid of all the partitions and win 8.

    Replaced the hard drive, insert the USB and now I have this message:

    "Reboot and select proper boot device."
    or Insert boot media in selected boot and press device any key..."

    So my questions are:

    -Are known issues with the m50-a-110, in the start menu? and what is the key / key combination, that I push?
    -This would be installing win 7 can only be achieved with a USB 3.0? (2 slots USB 3.0 and USB 2.0)

    Thank you for your help in advance and good luck,

    Hello and thanks for the comments. On a site I m happy to know that you have solved your problem, but on the other hand, it is not the best solution.

    Have you really taken apart your laptop to access the CMOS battery? I mean, after this action, your warranty is no longer valid.

    On this forum you can find numerous threads about the same question, where is explained what needs to be done about it and what steps are required to install Win7 on new models of laptops with preinstalled Win8 / Win8.1.

    What needs to be done first is the full stop - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2B03EY0002R01.htm
    After doing this, it is possible to enter the BIOS settings and change the secure boot settings.

    I just hope that you have created a recovery (DVD or USB) media until you have formatted your HARD drive.

    In any case, good luck with your machine.

  • Satellite A660 - boot problems USB after BIOS update

    Hello

    I own a Toshiba Satellite A660 and have recently updated the BIOS with the latest version (1.80). Since then, the laptop freezes on the splash screen (the one with the Toshiba logo) whenever a USB flash memory is attached.
    It works without the memory flash connected and if I connect it after I enter the starting or the BIOS Setup menu. I can even start her like that.
    As far as I'm concerned, this is a serious regression. Is there a way I can downgrade to the version of the BIOS, or any other way to solve this problem? I rely heavily on external USB drives.

    Kind regards
    Claudiu.

    Claudiu salvation,

    That is really interesting, I have to say so I tested on my new Satellite A660 and Transcend 4 GB USB Stick. Well, I also installed 1.80 BIOS but I can t view this problem HARD drive is set as first boot device and all the other BIOS settings are default. The Toshiba screen and Windows computer starts as usual.
    No problem at all!

    Have you tested different USB devices?

    In General, it is not possible to downgrade BIOS. It is possible to an authorized service because Toshiba on page you can download the latest version only but I doubt it s a bug in the new version of BIOS because it works on my A660.

    Hi uygur,.

    at first I thought your problem your laptop want boot from LAN.

    Check the BIOS, could be formulated with pushing the ESC key when the Red TOSHIBA logo appears, enter on boot order (First Boot Device).

    I think that your PC is the first device to set startup to local network.

    Try this and keep me posted!

  • Satellite C660D - Boot problems

    I had my Tosh for over a year now, so out of warranty, but should still work. Sometimes at the present time, the comp will freeze completely, which ensures a restart, but on re-booting, I get the familiar if please insert disc to start or select drive, the pxe rom error, check for errors of cables (something like that I don't remember the exact wording).

    After I left the computer off for the night, these problems seem to set and the computer starts normally. I first thought it would be a mistake to HD but which seems to work very well when it starts properly.

    Any suggestions as to what could be causing this?

    The PXE error message appears because the laptop is trying to boot from LAN.
    Why the laptop switches to LAN automatically?

    In most cases, the laptop can not find the bootable HARD disk system and this means that the HARD drive is malfunctioning it would also be an explanation for the issue of the gel
