Satellite A200-1CR - black screen and no boot

Model:
Toshiba Satellite A200-1CR

Question:
By pressing the power button to power on the computer for a full boot, the power LED lights up but still black screen (not even of lighting). The logo led 'Satellite' in the lower left corner of the chassis remains off while the HARD drive has made a unique quick snap; DVD activity led (the device) always remains on even without any CD inserted, by pressing the eject button do nothing (status bar is locked) and no sounds of activity.
No logo screen of boot (show stays), not of beeps dark and wide, no DVD or HARD disk activity, keyboard seems does not (all combinations that should light up an led, capslock, numlock, etc, does nothing), the fan works.

I have already (without success) tried:
-Unlock the tray, insert the rescue CD and power on
-Remove the main battery and power on with AC adapter only
-Insert a bootable USB stick/external HARD drive

The computer worked as expected the day before and there has not been any kind of shock. Described is the situation I faced when I turned on the next time (only 24 hours later).

What could be wrong?
Thank you.

> By pressing the power button to power on the computer for a full boot, the power led turns on but screen stays black

Well, looks like hardware problem; Maybe the memory problem or something serious with the mother or the CPU. It of really difficult to say what could cause this.
You can try to check the RAM modules.
Trying to start using a maybe only module, it is useful in the case otherwise I fear, you will need assistance from technicians Toshiba ASP m

  • Satellite Pro L450D black screen and will not respond to any keys

    Hello

    My niece has used his Toshiba L450D for almost a year now and he really liked it, who was until last month. She turned on her laptop and when she presses the button of the mouse, the button cracked and he fell into the laptop.

    Now my brother contacted Toshiba and I was told because it is under warranty it might return for repair because it was a common fault. Then he he packed in loads of air bubbles and a box to make sure it was safe.

    A few weeks later he came back repaired but we were all shocked that the laptop was put in a very loose box and you could hear this rattling noise. When we turned on the battery was flat and we had a new boot menu.

    As she installed it Windows 7 laptop would boot directly into Windows 7, but now after the repair of the laptop shows a menu black screen with as follows:

    + Windows 7 +.
    + Recover Windows to Factory Settings [active EMS] +.

    So we started in Windows and everything went well, but now after 5 or 10 or even 20 minutes, laptop displays a black screen and will not respond to keys or mouse movement. There is nothing on the screen its just black.

    I started in SafeMode (which was more difficult with the new menu) and it does the same thing. I even managed to do a virus scan quick who took 3-4 minutes and was clean.

    I would like some advice on what my niece is very angry, and it's difficult to explain what is happening to a child in the primary school.

    Any help would be grateful.

    Hello

    Have you tried the option of HARD drive recovery?

    If this is not the case, try to set the notebook back to factory settings using HARD drive recovery.
    Turn on the device, press F12, choose repair my computer, then select Toshiba HDD recovery.

    I hope it will work!

  • After logging on my Satellite Pro only black screen and the cursor are visible

    I have a windows vista pro (PSAASE-00G004GR) satellite after turn on and typing the password for windows vista, the screen goes black but I see that the cursor moves & because it seems that the hard drive also works in th background, but I can't see anything except the mouse cursor , I tried to boor with other options (LAST WORK safe MODE KNOWN FEATURES... etc) but it's still the same only black screen and the cursor...

    I do not prefer the product cause of my data recovery on this subject, any ideas?
    thnx

    Hello

    You have the Satellite Pro A100 PSAAS hmm if you want to save your personal data, I recommend to remove the portable computer HARD drive and try connecting it to another computer via an external USB HDD controller. These cases of 2.5 HARD disk are not expensive and you can buy it in every store of the computer.

    Then you could try to recover the laptop delivered together with the Toshiba Recovery CD.
    But wait; have you tried to connect the laptop to the external display?
    Check it!
    Maybe you could see something on the second screen.

    I think that this procedure could be useful to clarify what s wrong.
    To me this question looks like a small little dysfunction of the FL inverter.
    In this case the installation of the new operating system will help you not to solve this problem.

    But who knows the verification is necessary to find what could be wrong.

    Good luck and bye ;)

    You have disconnected the display while you cleaned up the laptop?
    Are you sure that the display is connected correctly?
    Check the cable?

    > The laptop shows that read the hard drive and the processor works well.
    How do you know that? Flashing LED HDD?
    You know, it's not easy to say what may be the problem.

    You can also try testing with external monitor.

  • Satellite L300D-13s - black screen and nothing appears

    Hi, I have Toshiba Satellite L300D-13 s (pslc8e-02p013en).

    I turned off my laptop as usual and when trying to turn it back on yesterday, I have NO screen. I can here it whirring and all my lights are on, my battery is showing green (paying), but all I have is a black screen, no markers, imprecateurs, whatever it is?
    Have I somehow turned off the screen?

    I was in battery saving mode if it has nothing to do with it at all?

    PLEASE HELP - I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TRY

    Thank you

    Hey,.

    Normally the battery saving mode (stand-by) has nothing to it. On my Satellite L300, it works correctly and I often use this mode.

    In any case, it would be interesting to know if you can see an image on an external monitor. The internal monitor FL inverter is may be defective and so it does not show an image... Who knows? ?:|

    When my laptop start, after it shows the press f2 or f12 and then from windows, it goes to a black screen with the cursor blink.

    The lights are on at the front, but there is no activity on the hard disk, such as the indicator light does not blink.

    Need help. Thank you.

    I think that your HARD drive is dead.
    You need to replace the HARD drive with a new 2.5 SATA HDD.
    Replace the HARD drive and install the OS by using Toshiba recovery disc.

  • Satellite C660 powers, black screen and switches off the power

    Hello world.

    I have a C660 - 22v.Everything worked very well. An hour later, then to use the laptop again, it works, and he turned on as normal in 2 clicks, then more nothing. Just a black screen, not yet turned on, then after 5 to 15 seconds, the fan accelerates for a second or 2, then the laptop turns off.

    Tried with the batteryout & just the charger pluged, just the battery, hold the power button, all sorts of ways, but it only of the switches off the power.

    I think that the hard drive has failed. Any help would be welcome as its out of warranty (16 months).

    A big thank you in advance, Neil.

    In my opinion it has nothing to do with the hard drive. I assume that there is a problem of electronic power supply. I have a similar problem with my A300 and at the moment I put t know what to do.
    Repair is probably quite expensive so I m thinking about selling on eBay as being faulty.

    Problem is that we cannot do much. What should do? You can dismount, take a look inside and put the new.

    Either it works or not. I'm afraid that your problem is for the service and it must be checked by the guys from the services of m.

  • Satellite A200 - TJ5---> black screen at startup

    Hi all

    Here is the story:

    Yesterday I played poker with my laptop and suddenly the screen freeze. that is no more keyboard/mouse, time frozen.
    There is no battery in my laptop so I unplugged the power supply.

    When I plugged it in, I pushed the power button. Fan were to happen, the blue leds on the power cord, power came. The hard drive led will begin to Flash. But the screen was black! No backlight at all. The computer seemed to start as long as the hard drive light was lit more after 5 seconds or more.

    I made theses steps 3 - 4 times. No results.

    I managed to control memory, traded the sodimm 2 x 2 giga with sodimm 2x1gig, than i've got, same effect, stay at black screen. Restoration on this...

    WAITED 5 minutes without battery/power cord. Everything started on the right.

    I ran a memory diagnostic tool for 24 hours after that, no problem at all.
    I already have the latest version of the bios.

    In this forum I found the solution to be able to remove, let stand for 30 minutes and the black screen disappeared. But I don't think it's a long-term solution.

    I am concerned about this problem. (Black screen) because I understand that it is a hardware failure?
    Someone to know more about this kind of problem?

    Hmmm. eventually it s a hardware issue, but as you know it's really not easy to provide suggestions without any detailed portable /hardware controls.

    So if you want, you can contact the nearest ASP in your country and can ask for the portable diagnostic test.

    See you soon

  • Satellite L650-1EQ - black screen and overheating problems

    Hello

    I have a problem with my laptop Satellite L650-1EQ.
    A few days ago my laptop was overheated quite often.
    I would like to start playing a video game and the computer could actually turn off after 10 minutes of playing it.

    I realized that this was getting serious so I stopped using my computer to play games and I decided that I need to clean it. However, I was looking for online on how to clean up my computer and then my screen turns white!

    I didn't know what happened and was very scared.
    I turned off the computer.

    The next day I turned on the computer to see if it was good, and the screen was black however the laptop power light comes on and I hear the vents work.

    I turned on the computer and tried to start it again, and the computer started fine.
    The image appeared and the problems disappeared.
    But I knew that something bad was about to come so I took the laptop computer repair technician.

    I told her what happened.
    He has used the vacuum to "clean" the dust of the computer and told me to go back if the computer kept a overheating.

    I restarted the computer again when I came home, and after an hour and a half the computer screen turns white but I don't think that it overheated. : s

    I tried to start the computer and the screen is black, no picture, the only light on is the power one and I hear the vents work. I tried of transformed market but now it just stays as if it were now.

    I tried on another computer for solutions such as the battery and pressing the power button for 2 minutes and other things, but nothing has worked. I don't know what to do so I decided to create a thread to get answers: s

    Please help me, thank you!

    Hello

    This does not sound very good boyfriend. I'm afraid that there could be some sort of dysfunction material Mr. something like the problems of graphics card or motherboard issue.

    You can try plugging the external monitor to the laptop just to see if something would be visible on 2nd screen.
    But if nothing will appear on the 2nd monitor, I think that the chip of the graphics card died :(

    Of course, this is just my personal opinion and a laptop computer technician must check the laptop to know what part of the laptop could be faulty.

  • Satellite A200-1CR: Question about upgrade HARD drive

    Hi all...
    I would like to ask something...

    I have toshiba Satellite A200-1cr with 120 GB HARD drive...

    I would like to change my HARD drive. I found a disk hard 2.5 "with 250 GB.

    My questions are the following:

    (1) my knowledge of the workstations are very very good. Is it easy to change myself?
    I guess it is, but I want to be sure... I guess that is on IDE, right? No SATA at all?

    (2) if I changed it I lose my warranty?

    (3) can I give my laptop Toshiba in Greece official store and let them make the change?
    May I take in an informal shop, too?

    (4) can be put on the laptop 2 x 250 GB such US new computers laptops from toshiba?
    Is there enough space in the laptop for such a change?

    Thank you in advance...

    Hey Buddy

    It is good that ask you the question.

    (1) the Satellite A200-1CR supports SATA and no IDE interface and that's why you need a SATA HDD. It of really not difficult to replace the HARD drive and as far as I know, you should find a few details in the user manual. There is a useful statement and photos that explain the entire procedure.

    (2) hm AFAIK the drive replacement HARD will not void the warranty, and has no effect on the State of security.

    (3) you can also contact the maintainer authorized Toshiba in your country for a HARD drive replacement, but in my opinion that is not really necessary because the replacement is not very sensitive. As I said above, check the user manual.

    (4) I don t think that your laptop will support 2 x 250 GB HARD drive.
    Of course, there are a few other series laptops which are abele to support two hard drives but I n t think that your laptop A200 support.

    Just a small comment on the new HARD drive:
    The fact is that some more HARD drive are not supported by the BIOS. I mean an upgrade to 120 GB to 250 GB drive HARD is really a leap one possibly your BIOS would not recognize the HARD drive correctly.
    So I recommend to test the HDD first before buying.

    Good bye

  • Satellite A210 - 11 p - gos black screen and HARD drive does not

    Hello

    My Satellite A210 - 11 p suddenly goes to a black screen and the hard drive stops working. It is always under tension and if I want to restart I have to unplug the unit and remove the battery.

    I thought it was overheating and checked the time and they were really high in the 1980s. I took the fan and cleaned (very dusty) and the basic form of thermal paste. Temperatures plummeted now immediately but I still have the same problem, I updated the graphics driver and watched the temp on GPU (which is fine) but the problem is still happening. I used a number of programs to check for errors on the hard drive and no reported problems. I reloaded Windows 7 but still no joy.
    The problem seems to occur at any time and is not due to the execution of a given program, even just browsing with firefox

    Not too sure what to do and any advice would be welcome.

    Hey Buddy,

    > I reloaded Windows 7 but still no joy.
    Have you ever tried with Toshiba Recovery disk operating system?

    The Toshiba recovery disc there is an image of the settings from the factory with all the drivers and tools. If you install Windows on this disk, you factory back.

    That would mean if you have the same problem after the installation of recovery it s really bad hardware working because you have pretested settings of Toshiba. In this case an authorized service provider can help you make an accurate diagnosis what part is affected.

  • Invalid product key, left my computer with a black screen and a cursor of the mouse on the boot.

    A few days ago, I tried to upgrade Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) to Windows 10 using the free update. Installation hung at 84% for 2 hours, then restarted, was unable to recover the installation and then could not get back to Win 7. This left us with a black screen and a cursor of the mouse on the boot. The computer would remain in this State for about 10 minutes and then reboot and repeat.

    Fortunately, or so I thought, I had a few CD Windows installation backup from the back to the era of digital river. So I thought I'd install fresh on my empty partition, copy my files and data, and then format the partition with the installation broken on.

    I did, but now he tells me that my product key is not valid and cannot be activated. The product key came on a real label on the PC when we bought it.

    The key is for X 16-96072. I installed X 17-58997 (Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 with SP1 (u)). I don't know what is the problem with the key? Should I have installed without the (u)?

    One key 25 digits grouped in 5 sequences of 5 characters not X 17-58997.
