Satellite A100 - 510 PSAA2E cannot start - nothing on the screen

Hello

I had Satellite A100-510 (PSAA2E) since May 2006.
2 weeks before, when I tried to switch the fans started spinning and the LED lit and after about 2 seconds, it restarts without showing anything on the screen.

There is also no beeps or anything.

I tried almost everything: remove the hard drive, screen, wireless card, dvd player, change the RAM between the slots...
It makes no difference if.

So I think it's a problem of memory or the motherboard is dead, what do you think?

> So I think it's a problem of memory or the motherboard is dead, what do you think?
Yes, the mentioned parts could cause this problem

But it would be the worst case and you must contact the Toshiba ASP for more details

Before that you would get in contact with ASP, I recommend you try this:

-Remove the battery, disconnect the adapter.
-Wait 30-60 minutes
-Bring the two parties together and try to turn on the laptop

Maybe if this work around short help

  • Satellite A100 - Questions about slow start, not in the DMA mode CD drivers

    Hi all

    as you can see I have 3 questions:

    1. my Satellite A100-153 starts very slowly (current running avira antivir and sunbelt pfw only like on my other laptop which is older than this one, but not slow start)-anyone has any idea why (I would be very gratefull because I don't have reinstall win and all my stuff)?

    2 Nero tells me that my CD is not running in DMA mode - where can I check and fix this?

    3. drivers - am I forced the drivers supported on this site or can I use the drivers directly from the manufacturer (ATI for my graphics card, Intel for my chipset realtek for my sound and so on)?

    Help is welcome!

    Hello

    For me, it will be interesting to know what operating system you are using. Anyway, I'll try to give my short opinion on your questions:

    -many other factors may be responsible for slow start. It is usually the OS configuration. I'll try to find an interesting article, how to make faster starting and I will post it here for you.

    --entrer enter in the device IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers Manager, enter the properties for secondary IDE chanel and open the Advanced Settings tab. Is under transfer mode DMA if available? If this isn't the case, set it to please and after reboot check if the problem persists. DMA if available is usually defined as a default value.

    -In general, you can use it but it is well known that manufacturers of graphics card don't support mobile graphics cards and laptop manufacturers are responsible for.

    I recommend you to use the Toshiba drivers only. All of these drivers are put to the test.

    Good bye

    .the thing is that I don't know what the boot is... i password my PC and it doesn't let me do windows if I don't type the password... y at - it a way to remove the password?

    It won't let me either start from a cd or usb... I press F12 to choose to boot from the cd or usb, but it's still request the password unknown... is there a solution?

    Please answer it is essential!
    Thank you very much...

    > the problem is that I downloaded toshiba HW setup and I accidentally put a password...
    > .not a password... it's propably supervisor password or bios password...

    That s funny because the BIOS password or contractor may be reset by an authorized service provider.
    The BIOS password is a high security option that can not easily be reset.
    Then ONLY ASP can remove a UNKNOWN password.

    Hello

    It is a never-ending story.
    Many media doesn t work with my drive. I have tested many media from different manufacturers and now I use a some of the TDK media.

    Generally, you will find in the manual the user who must be preinstalled on your laptop a list with compatible and supported CD and DVD.
    These media should work properly and the reader must read and burn without any problem.

    But of course, sometimes a failed drive can be a reason for no reading or no combustion.

  • Satellite P200D died - nothing on the screen, no HARD drive noise

    Hello
    Toshiba P200D-112 (satellite)
    Just 2 years and already 'OUT '.

    When I press the Start button, the power light comes on and will stay on.
    The fans start but stop in a few seconds and nothing more happens.
    Nothing on the screen, no hard noise complete silence.
    If I continue to press the start for a few seconds power button is sharp as usual.

    Looks like a protection stop start to work.

    I changed the CPU for nothing (the only chip that I can change without welding).
    I tried with battery and without the battery.
    I changed the HD.
    I deleted the DVD player.
    Now, I have on the table, just the motherboard and I have always the same thing.

    Do you please an idea on the reason of this phenomenon.
    Thanks Christos

    Hello

    I see you didn't check the RAM modules.
    Usually, it is the first part that should be checked before you disassemble the laptop everything and try to replace the other, new parts like CPU or similar

    But if the replacement of the RAM won't help, so I put t see any other solution proposal to replace the whole motherboard.

    It's a shame because the new motherboard costs a small fortune

  • Re: Satellite Pro A200 - no activity - nothing on the screen

    Hello!

    I have a lot of problems with the Toshiba Satellite Pro A200.
    Same problem for all: when you connect the power adapter led turns blue!
    When I press on "on" button the second led turns blue, the fan runs for a while, but there is not activity: nothing on the screen.
    No thing hard disk led...

    I have a lot of this problem with the Satellite A200. The motherboard is a LA - 3481P.
    I am an electronic engineer and I m specialized in laptop repair card main but I did not understand this problem.

    Can U help me telling me that maybe the defective chip?
    Thank you very much

    Hello

    I don't know if you saw that this forum is the forum of users and you should not wonder if nobody can give the exact answer. As an electronic engineer, you must know that no one can answer specifically and to find the good chip, you must run diagnostic tool.

    So I think that you need professional help. Try to contact nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer and ask for help.

    BTW: I am really interested about new comments here.

  • Satellite Pro L40 does not start after changing the BIOS settings

    > There was no bios password... How would a BIOS reset to normal?

    You can set the default BIOS ONLY inside the BIOS access BIOS by pressing F2 or at the beginning of the initialization of the order

    But I doubt that this problem is related to the BIOS.
    Maybe it s just a simple bad luck that this problem happened exactly after change something in the BIOS.

    Try connecting an external monitor and check if you can see something on the 2nd screen.

  • M17x R1 does not start - black screen - fan turns, turns on the keyboard, nothing on the screen.

    Hi all

    Newbie here and desperate.

    I have a problem with M17x my son this morning. Everything worked very well and after some time, turned off the machine it self.  Now it does not start even - at least I think, it won't because there is nothing on the screen as it is empty.

    I've tried several things, including trying to move on and outside, with or without a battery of the power cord.

    I'm at a loss as to what could have happened.

    Help, please.

    The gpu of cooking is very easy in fact, that you have designated your oven to about 275 degrees cover a cookie sheet with paper and configure the map out of it by winding 4 balls of aluminum foil and their definition on each corner of the map. you never want to have it put all directly on the sheet. do Cook for about 10 minutes then cool before coming back into the laptop. Always be sure to remove all of the components and the radiator and any residue of thermal paste. After sick cooking you need to reapply a fresh thermal paste. I use artic silver 5. It is has more detailed instructions on this online, as well as photos. You want to make sure it's your video card before you do it just to be sure. I just had to do it again last week, works like a charm for me every time.

    It sounds if the HARD disc / CPU fan / lights come on but nothing on the screen.
    Have unplugged the cable from the screen and he recovered but not good.

    Any suggestions welcome

    To me, this looks like a motherboard problem.
    In my view, replace the whole motherboard.

    PS: Don't think that a card mother Equium A60 - 155 to insert in the notebook Equium L10-273.
