Satellite A100-02 b starts

Hello

I have a problem with my Satellite. When I push the Start button the start black screen Toshiba (this one with press F2 or F12...) appears and the computer crashes.
Actually I have NO idea what it could be. I guess that it's going to be a hardware problem.
I tried with a boot CD - didn't work and by pressing the F2 key doesn't do anything either and by pressing the F12 key "please wait" appears and the system freezes again.

On this device, I have installed a version of Windows XP Professional instead of the main version of Vista installed. If someone had an idea that I could do, I would be very grateful.

And another question.

Am I allowed to remove the hard drive and connect it to another PC (to copy my stuff) without losing the warranty?

Thank you very much

Charly

Hello

"If you HARD drive would be malfunctions you should get an error message like"IDE #0"error or operating system not found ' or 'Missing operating system '.

In you case I put t think the computer freeze could be linked to a faulty HARD drive.
I think there could be something wrong with the RAM or in the worst case a part of the motherboard laptop computers could malfunction too.

You said you guarantee is valid? That s great! Don t waste time and contact the ASP in your country for assistance!

PS: Be careful while removing the HARD drive!

  • Satellite A100 will not start

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-151, which does not start.

    A batery 11 times blink when I press the a/c power and nothing happens.
    Before that, I pressed too many keys f1 - f12 because it has stopped responding and a blue screen (memory error in the kernel) appeared.

    I tried:
    out/HDD, memory slot, battery and tried also reset with the AC button pressed without the battery.
    Thanks in advance for any helpful advice.

    Best regards

    As you know on this virtual path is not easy to say what the problem is here, but after reading your ad, I think there must be a problem with electronic control gear. It is placed on the motherboard.

    Problem is that work around is quite limited and I can see what you have already tried all the logical steps to check if computer laptop will be able to start on a path.

    I'm afraid it is worth noting that you can do except to communicate with the service of Toshiba and ask help from m.

  • Re: Satellite A100-410 cannot start Windows XP

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A100-410 and I can't start over (in safe mode ok). When starting, it shows the XP screen and after 10 seconds, the screen goes black. We have re-installed XP but no use. We checked again and assume that something is wrong with the video card drivers.

    So we checked for the last but no use. I can boot the laptop when the video card is uninstalled, so it takes to cause something weird.
    Or could it be that the card is broken?

    Hello.

    For sure your video card is ok, otherwise you may see white screen after switching on. The problem is in the driver problem. Have you downloaded the Toshiba site display driver?
    Maybe there is a conflict of driver. This site http://downloads.guru3d.com/downloadget.php?id=1655&file=7&evp=c14f9f3787877ee f9ef4b235b9146e96 stage
    Download and install. Then try to reinstall the display driver (if not work, do it in safe mode).

    If she's not always you help, do a search for a new iso Windows Xp but not Windows assembly (some guys like to change windows, deleting and adding some files, and then load it. Most of these modified versions are bad).

    That's all I can suggest now, sorry if does not work.

  • Satellite A100-495: strange starting problems & freezes

    Hey guys.

    I recently got my Satellite A100-495 back from repair - it had a power problem (no led was flashing and it does not start of course). They told me that the motherboard has been renewed.

    Now, I have the following two issues:

    (1) it freezes suddenly sometimes in windows after 1-2 hours of operation without problems and I have to hold the power button for a few seconds restart

    (2) I press the power on button, LEDS are underway but the screen remains black, sometimes becomes gray, hard drive makes noise, fans going on but it just does not start, do not show anything. After some tests, I have to start but once again crashes after a couple hours of functioning properly.

    Can someone tell me what is the problem here?

    Bad memory (RAM) can cause this.

    If you can get it to start, test the memory with Memtest on a bootable CD. www.memtest.org

    Otherwise, try the combination of the different memory card. If you have 2 sticks of memory, try with one stick, then try the other stick, try different locations.
    Often the memory pins can oxidize and cause problems. To clean the pins, use a pencil eraser/rubber and rub the pins of module memory.
    Be careful when you handle the memory, you can zap easily memory with static electricity. To make sure that you are connected to the earth when the memory handling.

  • Satellite A100 does not start - no action

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A100, which does nothing. He went flat when he was asleep, and a few minutes later I plugged it and when I press the power button / nothing happens. I do not show that the battery recharges in illuminating the charging light. The power button does not illuminate.

    If I hold the power button for a long period of time, a few lights.
    The caps lock light. Light under F10 and F11 and wireless internet light keeps coming back even if it is disabled.
    Battery light comes on a few times, but it is wider than on.

    My thoughts are that power don't is not computer (I think than lights that come on are those who come usually on after you press the power button) I'll try and the hand to get on another charger to try but snacks that don't work there at - it suggestions?

    DESPERATE isn't my computer!

    Hmm can be a motherboard problem.

    Try reinstalling the memory and battery and see how it goes. If not, send it to an ASP for a quote.

  • Satellite A100: Does not start a recovery DVDs

    Hi guys.
    First timer here.
    I have read some of the Q & A on reboot problems the A100 since the recovery DVDs.
    It seems I have the same problems as keith.

    I want to start all over again the OS and my laptop does not start from the DVD.
    Tried the standard f12 boot from cd option. tried her "hold C on the boot option.
    Both options end with no joy.

    The screen that says "loading ramdisk image", loads the machine breaks, asks me to wait, then every time the same thing.
    The screen goes black, flashes very quickly and white and then loads from the hard disk as normal.

    Now try to hold my frustration and do something radical.
    I know that in the Q & A previous, the subject is considered as replied...
    other options?

    My following thoughts are to delete/uninstall almost every thing and try and force the thing to boot from the DVD.
    have also copied the dvd and tried to boot from the copy, always with no joy.

    Are there any other suggestions?

    Is it possible to put a partition in the existing drive and start the recovery dvd in there, then delete the junk of the original section of the drive, and then delete the partition?

    is it possible to close all essential processes and format the HARD drive?

    is it possible to reset the HARD drive somehow?

    see you soon,
    Martin

    Hello Martin

    To be honest, it's pretty strange question. There is one thing I am interesting for:
    Is - this first time, you try to use a recovery media for the installation of the OS?

    If possible, try to get the Microsoft CD/DVD facilities to see if the same thing will happen.

    In any case, I will try to give you answers to your questions.
    > Is it possible to put a partition in the existing drive and to start the recovery dvd in there, then delete the junk of the original section of the drive, and then delete the partition?
    It will not work. On the recovery of the media it is recovery image and this image must be installed correctly. You cannot "recover DVD in there. Not question

    > is it possible to close all essential processes and format the HARD drive?
    I would like to know what you understand under the 'essential processes?

    > Is it possible to reset the HARD drive somehow?
    You can't do this somehow. If you want to 'reset' HARD drive, you must delete the existing partition or delete any OS installation. After having done that, you need to install new OS. All this will be done at the beginning of the recovery procedure.

    I really don't understand what's wrong there. Please answer to my first question, and we will continue this discussion. ;)

  • Satellite A100-599: cannot start service Toshiba Power Saver

    I have A100-599 with Vista pre-installed. As you know there is that Toshiba Power Saver comes with mobile vista power settings. Not always, but sometimes when I turn on the computer and start windows I get this message "service Toshiba Power Saver could not start.

    When I checked in Control Panel-> system-> Services if the service indeed off I saw he did start and run.

    Can someone tell me why this message sometimes? It is a software issue or maybe there is a problem with the hardware?

    Hello

    Maybe I m wrong but as I know Toshiba has not designed for Vista operating system energy saver!
    Vista uses a power options clean that looks like a little bit like the Toshiba power saver, but not energy from Toshiba!

    All laptop computers that are shipped with Vista have any preinstalled Toshiba eve!

  • Satellite A100 does not start after the BIOS update

    Hello

    I downloaded the update to the bios toshiba A100 PSAA8 on the toshiba site and applied using the procedure of updating the bios from windows XP MSE. Restart after the start of the update stopped at the toshiba start screen.

    At startup the screen by pressing ESC watch text mode. The message indicated it confirms the update of the bios version. POST messages are:

    _________________________
    Genuine Intel CPU
    No TPM or TPM has problem
    1015 M system RAM passed

    Press to enter in SETUP
    _________________________

    Pressing F2 just clears the last message in line and then no change is found.

    The laptop comes with windows XP media center edition. I don't know why the TPM secure is enabled. It is possible that toshiba is available with the module of TPM enabled in bios updates that logbook. If this is the case, they must clearly identified as 'not applicable' upgrade for machines that are not relevant.

    I found similar messages around the forum without convincing answer.

    Is it possible to fix this without sending? Even if it turns out to be affordable, it make much sense to pay for the problems caused by toshiba.

    Hello

    Please don t blame someone for you mistakes ;)
    As far as I know that only a few sets of laptops come with TPM.
    If you want to do an update of the BIOS on the models at TPM, you will need to contact the ASP!

    Looks like you used a bad BIOS or bad BIOS update procedure.

    The Toshiba page a BISO update the documentation that describes how to upgrade the BIOS on each series laptop!
    You will find on the page of the Toshiba driver compatible BIOS and information over a large number of details!

    > Is it possible to fix this without sending
    Don t think so, and therefore, you will need to contact the Asp help!

    Good luck

  • Satellite A100-153 - Notebook starts only

    Hello

    I have a problem with my A100-153. If my laptop is in the socket, its starting to go alone. Without taking the main switch.

    Can you help me?

    Hello

    This seems very odd. I guess there must be something wrong with the electronic power supply. In this case, the only way to solve it is to contact the Toshiba service partner in your country. I guess that your laptop is new and the guarantee must cover the repair procedure.
    You will find the ASP:

  • Satellite A100-570 not start - error PXE

    Hi all

    Please, please help!

    A year ago, my laptop started showing me the following details:

    PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of
    PXE - M0F: Exit PXE ROM
    Operating system not found.

    I couldn't find a recovery disk so left and used my desktop at home.

    Today all around the rooting, I came across the disc and made a successful recovery. However, due the siezing iTunes upward, I had to reboot my PC through the same question. I tried to restart the laptop several times to nothing does not.

    I need this laptop as a large part of the content of a book I'm writing on this subject.

    HEEEELLLLPPPPPP!

    Hello

    This error is displayed because the laptop could not start from other sources such as LAN.
    PXE means that laptop is trying to boot from LAN and Media test failure, check cable means that OS could not be started from source LAN.
    Maybe your HARD drive is bad and you need to replace it.

  • Satellite A100-00N - cannot start the system

    There were 15 months and now when I push the power button to start the system, it will not work.

    There are 2 blue LEDs lighting but the computer won start t. tried to release the battery and configure power but not luck, with the battery also no luck. On Toshiba that works is the button located under the power button (globe photo with the left and right arrows and a photo of a music note in a display of television or something) when I press this button you hear system starts but after a second or 3-4.

    Also tried to remove the memory and hard drive but still no luck.
    Anyone?

    Sorry, but there must be a serious problem, and I don't think that there is nothing you can do. The idea to start the laptop with power running is OK, but if this doesn't work and you see nothing on the screen, it must be a serious problem.

    Of course you do not give any information that you did the last days with your laptop. Maybe you tried to update BIOS?

  • Satellite A100 PSAA9E - XP starts sound, display is black

    To start the XP OS I can hear sound, but the screen remains black.
    I tried with the external monitor, but nothing happens when I try to switch screens with fn + F5.
    I quess it must be something wrong with the graphics card.

    Thanks for any help,

    Please connect your laptop to external monitor or TFT display and check the functionality.
    If you get the right image on the external monitor then the screen of the laptop is probably defective.

  • Satellite A100 does not start after the wrong Bios Update

    Yesterday, I upgraded my BIOS of 1.90 to 2.20 for VISTA... now, apparently, I downloaded the BIOS bad a100 to my A100 (PAAS...)

    Now the computer turn on (no display) then a few seconds later stops offshore and turns on again (without interruption), I am under warranty (and the computer is in the store) but I was wondering what to do if Toshiba is not honor the warranty?

    Thank you very much for your help!

    Hello

    I'm sorry to say, but it seems that you don't have the choice.
    You can ask him authorized partner in your country for the help that I know, BIOS update errors are not covered by a warranty and you will have to pay a small fee for fixing.

    In the worst cases, the motherboard must be replaced:(mais peut-être avez_vous une évasion chanceuse et seulement la puce ROM doit être flashée à nouveau)
