Satellite 2540 cds - startup problem

Hello

They gave me a portable satellite 2540 cds . The laptop does not start because the previous user installed winodws me. I can't go into the bios to change the boot order so I can install windows from scratch.

I don't have the recovery cd so I'm 'tight upward.

What can I do to install windows without recovery cd?

Any help please!

If you want to do a fresh install of your choice, you can try it on the way to the 'old', with a Startdisc of Windows 98 and an operating system of Windows of your choice.

The Satellite 2540 has a floppy drive * lol *?

Good bye

  • 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.

  • Satellite S1800-814: startup problem, screen is black

    I know there are several comments here to point out how the black screen at startup. I think my problem is similar, but I need a few more details.

    A year ago, a friend of mine gave me his old laptop, a Satellite 1800-814. I use it mainly as a typewriter and check my email. He could never operate on battery only, longer than for a few seconds, but I've always used it with the connected power cable, no problems. Sometimes it wouldn't start, and I had to unplug the power supply for a while to turn on.

    I was visiting someone and wanted to connect to the Internet. They had this USB wireless modem, that I have it plugged into my Toshiba. During installation, the PC froze, and I had to reboot by pressing the button market for some time. He did restart, but at a standstill. I restarted again, sometimes had it works, sometimes not, and ultimately he entered its current state: with the power cord plugged in, it will start, I'll hear the processor fan (or whatever it is) work and the lights of the battery and the power will be green at the bottom of the keyboard.

    The screen, however, is black, there not all sounds and ceilings and the insert key lights do not react to what whether - they are permanently gone.

    What is happening here? I tried to remove the battery, give it some time and then reinsert, but in vain. I also tried to start it upward with the USB connected modem, no luck there either. What I do have an appointment with the Doc of PC, or can I fix it?

    I have really important documents there. Grateful for any help!

    Your description is quite long, but I'm still confused. You mixed several questions in the description of the problem and there is no stated clear what happens when you press the button walk / stop.

    Power is ON?
    Is there a HARD disk activity?
    You see something on the screen?
    What happens if you use the power supply only (without the battery inside)?

    Sorry, but it is not easy to tell what can be the problem. The best thing you can do is to contact someone with enough experience PC. The person who has the laptop on the desk and try to start this laptop can be more specific about possible problems.

    BTW: Please check this http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSD57013H000JR01.htm interesting document

    Hello
    I have a Satellite 2430-101, which has had similar problems.

    Seems to me that your computer laptop sometimes Don t recognize your HARD drive.

    My suggestion is, if you have another HARD disk, change it to look if the problem persists.

    If so, I think that your IDE controller that is responsible for the detection of your HARD drive is damaged.

  • Satellite S1800 100: startup problem

    I have a laptop 100 S1800 as a second machine and have recently experienced problems at startup. Food, power & battery LED turns on but nothing happens, no power at all. I have to keep on and off until this finally that she comes to life. Sometimes on stop, he made a series of beeps before stopping.

    Hope that makes sense for someone that I'm stumped.

    See you soon

    Hello

    Perhaps there is only one small problem with the power button, but due the beeps it can also be a major hardware failure. In any case, you should take the machine at the service.

  • Satellite 2430 XP startup problem

    Windows XP will not load on my laptop Satellite 2430-402, saying that the C:\Windows\System32\config\system file is missing or damaged and to try to run the option repair.

    I have 2 Toshiba Recovery CD which I managed to launch the program of recovery based on the BACK which has 2 options:

    1 full restore, I want to do
    2. selective restore, I don't want to do, but have no instructions

    I don't seem to have an XP CD, where I could start recovery of Microsoft application.

    Can someone give me the steps to undertake a selective recovery of Toshiba (from Symantec) back-based recovery CD?

    Thank you

    Hello

    In this case, I'm always ruthless. Back up the data and do fresh install. Then only I am 100% sure that everything works correctly. :)

    Anyway, if you want to make new installation with restore CD there are two possibilities:

    -Standard mode (any partition is deleted and new operating system installed)
    -Expert mode (you can choose which partition you want to install the operating system)

    It is very important that there is no repair option. This option you can find on the CD-ROM of Microsoft Windows XP.
    There are few opportunities to try to repair your operating system. You can try to replace the faulty system file. Copy the files from another PC system and replace it. I must also tell you that there is no 100% guarantee that it will be successful.
    You can also try to provide the Microsoft Windows XP CD-ROM (full version). You may have some success with the repair option.
    Next option is to use the Windows Recovery Console. I assume that you have access to a second computer. Click here for instructions that can help you.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;314058
    This article describes the features and limitations of the Windows Recovery Console. If your Microsoft Windows XP-based computer does not start correctly or if it does not start, you can use the Windows Recovery Console to help you recover your system software.

  • 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!

  • New problem z50 - 75 wireless? Startup problem

    Hello

    I had an another hp laptop which had a problems but the know-how could not fix it so they give money and I brought another Hp 4 days but then she had to be exchanged because of defective. Currys and PCWORLD even gave, but the problem kept pass. So I just paid the HP one and brought 3 days LENOVO Z50-75 it y a. the first Hp laptop, I had, had dns clients warnings in Event Viewer when you use wireless. Same thing on the new computer hp laptop. This problem still occurs in the LENOVO one too. These events started in Windows 10 for all laptops hp and lenovo. My computer laptop lenovo came with windows 10 in any case. So either it's a bug that should be fixed by a new update for the network adapter needs to be released. Computer laptop lenovo has Qualcomm Atheros the old hp laptop realtek the new computer hp laptop that was defective was and intel double wireless broadband and the same edition, DNS CLIENT EVENTS 1014 WARNINGS are still happening. This is definetley not my ISP fault because I replaced the router, more they found nothing on a week 2 diagnostics test on my internet. SO I just want to say lenovo that if there is a way you can fix this. Another thing is that after installation WIN10 threshold 2 on Lenovo Z50-75 when starting of the laptop it shows the logo screen once then black lenovo and then black screen again, then it boots. I have also all the latest updates. So if there is a way guys can fix that also. I'll post this in the microsoft forums too if they can help. Thank you

    Hi I managed to solve this problem by disabling the DNS CLIENT service, but always the startup problem also happens when I stop or restart the cirlce logo going arouns the shows as usual then flashes then closed restartsor and the same thing happens in the Welcome screen it flashes (black screen for a second), and goes after UPDATE of TH2

    Because we bought our computer in October 2014, we had many problems with the start, problems of drivers, startup problems, graphic card problems and more. It was supposed to be fixed once by the bu retailer still, there are questions. The biggest problem is starting:-it freezes, error messages that say lag not found drivers or disk not detected though when checked is. Also, we have done numerous resets hard which are just a quick temporary solution and back problems. We pay every month for a service contract with the retailer, but they mostly just try to run the store for our computer repair you...
