• 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 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 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)

• Lenovo Z585 does not start on a DVD - jump directly to Windows

  Hello, I just got a new IdeaPad Z585 from newegg, and I can't figure out how to boot from a disk in the drawer of the DVD.

  I tried to open the BIOS and change the boot order, as well as simply go directly to the start menu. I tried with UEFI both active and disabled, as well as Secure Boot both enabled and disabled. No matter what I try, it does not start in any DVD.

  I try to install Linux and tried different discs and distributions of this. When no even reached GRUB, I tried a Windows 7 installation disc, and even that is ignored.

  What should I do?

  Hello
  The secureboot and uefi must be handicapped simaltaneously. You can try if you haven't.
  Also, could you try pressing the novo button to power your laptop. The novo button is the button of reocovery key a small next to the power button. Has then access Startup menu see if it helps.

• Satellite L300D - 12L does not start from CD/DVD drive

  Hello.

  I noticed a couple of threads on L3x who sometimes won't start but have a blinking cursor.
  I also have this problem with my daughter satellite.

  It occurs when there is a disc in the DVD player. The PC does not start, I get a black screen with a cursor and the DVD flashes regularly as if she is trying to determine if there is a bootable disc inserted.

  I tried several discs with similar results.
  Everything that happens the DVDRW ejects, and I have to force a shutdown, then eject the disc immediately when I start her for it boot on Vista.

  Any ideas greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  Have you tried to boot from the recovery disk Toshiba?

  Fact is if you try to install the Windows operating system on the new laptop series, you must install either the drivers SATA or you must set compatible SATA to AHCI mode in the BIOS!

  That's why check first before you would contact any ASP guy to replace the STRANGE.

  See you soon

• Satellite A100 does not recognize the new CD/DVD drive

  I bought a new CD/DVD drive for my A-100 of Toshiba Satellite age of four year old went crazy and wouldn't work.

  Unfortunately, I bought a DVD of Toshiba Portege A100 / reader Combo CD - RW that is not exactly what I had before the jump that it will still work.

  Unfortunately, I'm surprised because it does not recognize the CD/DVD drive at all: /...
  It seems to work, and the light blinks I think that it is not broken.

  I just plugged it because that's the way I was told to do.
  I need to download the drivers to operate?
  It will work on my laptop, or is it a "most recent" CD player that will not work with my laptop?

  I'd appreciate any help. THX

  The BIOS does not recognize this new CURIOUS because the player seems not to be fully compatible.
  I think there bad master/slave/c-salt settings

  As you know these settings can be changed on the external CD/DVD drive for desktop switching jumper. But it is not possible for computers portable CD/DVD players.

  You can solve it only purchase a new compatible disc.

  Usually the ASP in your country could help you buy this disc of these guys here
  However, you can consult the user manual if there are a few details on the compatible sides.
  My user manual provides this information.

• Satellite M30: Does not start XP

  My Tosh Satellite M30 laptop (with 2 HD discs) does not work after I have updated with the MS security updates, it does not start XP.

  The laptop makes a clicking sound and gives me the message:

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

  I changed the boot order in the BIOS to: CDROM. And select Exit and save changes.
  Inserted my Toshiba Recovery windows XP version that allows me the option of
  "1. the recovery disc" or "2. Expert recovery mode"or also"Exit ".
  I chose "1. Recovery disc"as I'm not an expert (as you can tell!)

  I then get a load of diagnostic checks run by laptop and it shows then finally on the screen:
  X:\\ no disk fixed

  Ideally, I would like to repair and keep things I have on my drive D: HD.

  I'm pretty sure the XP starts on my drive C: HD.

  Your help is very appreciated!

  Suraj

  Hello

  The PXE message means that the device is trying to boot from the network. I put t understand you a lot with C and D HD. I assume you mean that you have two partitions on a single HARD disk. C partition for the operating system and the D partition for your data.

  If I understood you as soon as you cannot boot operating system at all. On this path, it is not easy to say what may be the problem but obviously you a problem with the HARD drive. It is probably defective. If the recovery DVDs is not able to detect one that there may be a serious problem.

  I put t know how contact the partner old Service your unit is but if the warranty is still valid and let check the device.

  Good luck!

• Re: Satellite A200 does not start

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 on VISTA.
  The laptop does not start. I can get to the Toshiba splash screen, but don't go no more far just get the blocking of the laptop and the display one? symbol at the top right of the screen.

  I tried

  -Reset to the factory settings (no difference)
  -Starting with the battery and output (no difference)
  -Withdrawal of the memory modules and try different configurations (no difference)
  -Remove the hard drive (screen displays the details of Intel and say no HD media detected no screen Toshiba either)
  -Pressing the button to try to get in windows safe mode (can t happen).

  Title information, under settings, I see the hard drive and DVD player is connected is connected.

  If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

  Thanks in advance

  Hi mate

  It seems that you have already tried all possible solution proposals
  But what happens if you start the laptop using a bootable diskette. for example, recovery disk, disk Win XP, Linux live CD, etc?

  I knew it could be a HARD drive problem, even if the HARD drive is correctly detected by the BIOS
  Maybe a replacement HARD drive might help maybe.

  Otherwise, it could be a serious hardware problem I m thinking: motherboard

  What do you think?

• 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.

• Satellite 2450 does not start - only in safe mode

  Hello

  I'm having a problem with my Satellite 2450 where it is not initialize properly - is stuck in the screen of Windows XP (just continues to scroll through and hangs there).
  I can boot into safe mode.
  Have not had any other problems with it - no errors, do not have installed/uninstalled anything recently.

  Any ideas what could cause this problem?
  Do you think I should use the recovery disk to reinstall the OS? Anything less drastic I can try?

  any advice appreciated,
  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Usually, if the laptop does not start correctly in normal mode, but only in SafeMode because some drivers or / and software applications are false or defective.
  In this case, the recovery procedure should solve this problem.
  If you n t have the Toshiba Recovery CD, you can install from the original CD of Microsoft's operating system, and then you can try to install stuff together from Toshiba (driver, tools)
  These software, you will find on the page of the Toshiba driver.

• Satellite L650 does not start

  Have had problems over several weeks with my laptop does not start up. See: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=65765

  Worked fine until last night for a week or two. Booted up ok, but gadgets has not appeared and no Yahoo Messenger that starts automatically.
  I couldn't click on all items on the desktop or the bar at the bottom of the screen. Stop and asked if I wanted to force closing down of applications that were still running. I said yes.

  Laptop turns off and then when I rebooted it came with the screen Toshiba startup and startup of Windows and the Windows logo but then received the message that Windows could not start and I wanted to start normally or repair. I ran repair, but the AI get after Windows loading files is the cursor on a black screen.

  I tried to turn off and then I get the message when start saying that WIndows did not start successfully and I want to repair or start normally?

  If I click on the repair, it comes up saying Windows is loading files and then I just get the cursor on a black screen. The hard drive light does not illuminate and nothing seems to happen (I used to open a new window).

  I tried pressing F8 at startup upward and I select the Windows repair option, but that said just from Windows and then I get the cursor on the screen black as above. I have also tried changing the boot sequence so that it boots from CD/DVD first and insert the recovery disks, but once again nothing.

  I'm now getting really tired after you have everything reinstalled at least 4 times in the last two weeks.

  I do
  (a) buy a new copy of Windows 7 and the gap of the partition recovery that she clearly doesn't seem to work;
  (b) throw the whole 18 months old laptop and buy a different brand or
  (c) is it possible that it's the hard drive which is a failure and that I should buy a new hard drive and Windows 7 DVD?

  Any help is appreciated because it drives me crazy!

  Looks like the HARD drive is faulty.
  You can test the HARD drive with freeware like Drive Fitness Test or similar tool, but car aptitude test would help you to create a bootable diskette that would test the HARD drive.

  I think that the HARD drive needs to be replaced if errors would be detected according to the news from the other thread, you have created a recovery disc, so it shouldn't be a big problem to reinstall the operating system once more once the HARD drive has been replaced.
