• Satellite A200-1BJ does not start

  Hello

  My Satellite A200-1BJ does not start. After turning on the button it starts only for 1 or 2 seconds (flashing light, work from HDD, fan work, display blank) and then it turns off automatically. Once it happened days before but I didn't have the time to solve it and over the next few days, he has not occurred. Now, I tried to launch it more than 20 times and it still won't start.

  I tried only with full battery and also only with the power adapter. I removed the HDD, RAM, keyboard, DVD, speakers, display and a few other connector under the keyboard and it still does not start and it shuts down after 1-2 seconds each time.

  In recent months he sometimes exploded due to overheating during work so I cleaned the dust inside.

  No problem with the motherboard or power?

  Thanks for help.

  Hmmm... on this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is. described behavior is the same as in cases when the BIOS is dead after failed BIOS update installation.

  Of course, it's mainboard problem but what exactly, it is not easy to say. For me, this looks like faulty BIOS.

  Have you installed any updates or anything that may be responsible for this?

• Satellite 1800-100 won't start with new memory

  My satellite s1800-100 won't start although my new memory (2nd) module is 128 MB PC100.

  I have Samsung samsung K4S281632C-TC1H module as PC100 (128 MB) memory on SLOT 1 by default.

  Although all of the features and form factors are clean, why not my Satellite S1800-100 starts? I checked the new (slot 2) memory works fine and tested OK.

  So, is there as a possibility to have a problem in the 2 Slot? Or is associated with failure of the BIOS? (there is no more recent BIOS, current is 2.20 for Satellite S1800-100).

  I am disappointed. I bought a new 128 MB PC100, to insert it in the slot 2, my Toshiba didn't boou up!.

  Important note: if I connect the new memory I bought yesterday, works very well in Slot 1.

  Please help and understanding.

  Kind regards...

  Hello

  Well, it very difficult to say why it won't start.
  I think that there are several possibilities:

  (1.) you used a bad module
  (2.) the second Bank of the Board of Directors has a malfunction
  (3.) the laptop does not support max 256 MB of RAM

  I think that point 1 and 3 is not relevant because you have tested the module and it worked on the first location. Additional the laptop should be able to handle 2 x 256 MB memory, so you should be able to use 2 x 128 MB

  I think that the second ram location may have a malfunction.
  Please check the second slot with a module of memory.

  The second possibility is to use exactly the module which is recommended by Toshiba.
  As I remember it s PC100 128 MB (PA3005U) SDRAM

• Satellite A200 PSAFCA does NOT start

  Here's the story.

  I got this laptop Australian (A200 PSAFCA) that came with Vista, but like everyone else I can't stand Vista so I removed it.
  Tried to install XP and to my surprise XP installation has actually detected the hard drive and it reformatted no problem.
  Then starts copying files and the premiere it reboot restarts very well and then it crashes on start "TOSHIBA" logo screen then restarts automatically and goes on and on...

  There is not much I can do in the BIOS, and yes it detects the HARD drive in there.

  I'm so bored and even tried to install Vista on the lappy and omg... it won't detect the hard drive even for the installation program.

  WHATS WITH THAT! This is the first laptop I ever tried to format and I never thought it will be ridiculously difficult.
  Can anyone shed light on what I might try? I'm out of ideas.

  P.s anyone knows if re-formatting computers laptop Toshiba is out of scope of the warranty?
  Thank you guys.

  Hello

  I had similar problem with my Satellite A200. Enter the BIOS settings and the default value. Reboot the laptop and again use the CD of Windows XP Home edition installations.

• Satellite A200-27R does not start

  I got my Satellite A200-27R for 2 years and 8 months and 2 weeks ago he crashed and died. At the time, I was watching on the internet and had probably opened pages 3 or 4 when it froze and I got a blue screen with white writing telling me that something had gone wrong, and my laptop has been shut down to protect themselves.

  I was unable to turn it back on for 24 hours, but when he did not return on her cost again function normally, but I backed up all my files incase it happens again. About 10 hours later the same thing happened again: freeze; blue screen and then try to restart.

  Since then, when I try to turn it back on it is stuck on the "leading innovation" Toshiba start screen; or goes to a black screen and says there has been a media test failure and something to do with Realtek x 100 or so or until I remove the battery, so it shuts down; or asks me to boot into safe mode and system restore which I made several times now, but this did not help.

  I would be really grateful if someone could tell me if they have had similar experiences, and they did, and if there is anything I can do to fix it? Thank you very much.

  Hello

  BSOD can be the result of the serious software problem or hardware problem.
  If the new OS installation didn t help you solve this problem, I think that the hardware malfunction would cause the BSOD.

  Usually the laptop automatically stops due to the higher temperature.
  A higher temperature may affect other parts like the RAM modules or the motherboard.
  Thus, in many cases the BSOD appears due to problem of memory.

  I think you should first clean the cooling modules. You must remove the dust using a jet of compressed air. In most cases, it is the best procedure to get rid of the dust.
  Then check the RAM modules. You can try to start Notepad with a module only.
  Then move modules to different locations in order to check the slots too.

  Of course, the HARD drive should be checked also. You can use a free software called Drive fitness Test. It is good, a freeware software which can be downloaded from different pages.

  If no advice mentioned would help you, then I recommend to ask a technician to Toshiba for help. They could use special tools in order to get results on the failure.

• Satellite P300-156 won't start or by MAIL

  Hello

  I have a Satellite P300-156 I bought a few months as damaged. The screen has been damaged and the case slightly cracked. I replaced the screen and hard drive and main card seems to have no physical damage. I've been running this system for 3 months now without any problem but, today, for some reason, it won't start or even POST. It powers on and the CPU fan starts to turn then stops and does nothing. No display (I tried external). CD player works. No beeps.

  I tried reinstalling RAM even open completely and reinstalling all connections, nothing done. Does anyone have an idea what component is gone? (CPU/GPU/RAM)

  Any help would be greatly appreciated

  Thank you

  Did you update the BIOS or something?
  For me, this is a normal behavior when the BIOS chip is faulty.

• Satellite A200 - 19K does not start

  On the other computer, Satellite A200 - 19K, we here,
  When we try to turn it on, the power light comes on, and the AC power lamp light therapy if it is plugged.
  Also, the hard drive light flashes once then turns off but the screen remains black and the computer makes the usual noise "woosh" that all computers but just for a second before dying out.

  We tried to remove the battery, then replace there already, but it did not work.
  Any ideas on what could be the problem and how to fix it?

  Hello

  Sounds not good guy!
  You said that you have already tried to replace the battery?

  Try to remove the battery and unplug the power adapter for about 20-30 min.
  Then, connect the new and try to start the laptop.
  If it doesn't help then you have no choice but to contact the service provider authorized in your country for assistance.
  The A200series seems to be not not very old so I guess that your warranty is valid and the repair must be made free of charge.

  Good luck

• Satellite A200 - please I need help, the screen goes pink and green

  Hello world

  I have a Satellite A200 and I have a problem with my screen. It appears suddenly pink and green and it resolves on its own or when I close the lid. It starts from the Toshiba logo before windows logon. Please help me, thanks in advance.

  Hello

  You can try to find what's wrong with your laptop if you would connect it to the external monitor.
  If the same question would be visible on the second, the external monitor then this screen problem could be related to the graphics chip.

  If the image on the external monitor would be nice laptop computer s internal monitor could be faulty.

  However, in both cases, you must contact the ASP in your country for replacement.

  Good luck

• Satellite L30 PSL33E won't start at all - the LED blinks 6 times

  Hello

  My poor mother is quite upset! Its Satellite L30 PSL33E just died.

  It completely off and now won't start at all.
  Orange light flashes six times when you press the power button.
  No hard drive, fan, screen or any other noise / activity.

  She tried without the battery.

  A kind of hardware failure, I guess.

  Any ideas what this blink code means?

  Thanks in advance,
  D.

  I put t know what the code means, but you can read it. short means 0 and 1 long

  In any case, the error code means that a hardware failure has been detected on the motherboard and motherboard replacement could help you?
  Why?

  because what is really hard to fix a motherboard for laptop very s.
  It especially not possible if you n t s have sufficient knowledge, experience, and special tools.

  I think that either you contact the ASP in your country and ask a difficulty or you'll have to buy a new laptop ;(

• Satellite Pro 2100 won't start at all - LED flash

  My SP2100 began to have feeding problems and now won't start at all. The AC adapter green LED is lit, that are relevant lights on the body of the laptop (although the "battery charge" light always orange these days). When I try the switch on, startup begins (in fact succeeded on occasion until this morning), however the battery indicator and the adapter lights are flashing, and everything stops again.

  On the rare occasions when I'll be past this stage, lights blinking, and the system soon shuts down again with a screen message "low battery." Until this morning, he would sometimes settle, the computer remained on, and the lights showed a State of equilibrium as usual.

  Initially I thought that the problem was of course the battery or the AC adapter, but now I'm starting to think that it is with internal PSU of the laptop (although I suspect the battery is probably tour after all this part of loading and unloading).

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  I think you're right. Flashing LEDS are a sign that hardware is defective.
  I can't say what exactly is the problem, this should be verified by a technicain.
  On the other side I don't know if it's worth to repair such an old machine.

  Good bye

• Satellite A200-1AX: Win7 has very limited screen resolution

  ?:| Can someone help me please?

  I have a SCREEN RESOLUTION (1280 x 800) after that I went to w7, before I can get about 1600 x 1280 when I was in very limited vista. I lost my vista recovery disk so I decided to go with w7, but after that I did some installations/updates to update for all my drivers again my screen resolution gives me the size 1280 x 800 maximum.
  Anyone? Please? I need your suggestions...

  -J' have a Satellite A200 1AX (recently moved from vista to w7)
  -Screen: 15.4 "
  -My graphics card is ATI Mobility Radeon HD2600.
  -I just downloaded the latest driver from ATI.

  Please tell me what I'll do.
  Thanks in advance guys...: D
  Jeje

  > Until I can get around 1600 x 1280 when I was in vista
  I can't believe that why?
  Because the screen internal 15.4 "WIDE XGA supports a maximum resolution of 1280 x 800.
  Max which is possible on the internal display, and as a result, you will not be able to choose a higher resolution on the internal display.

  The resolution of the external display may be higher but not the resolution of the screen internal.

• Satellite A200-AH1 does not start problem

  I have this Toshiba Satellite A200 - AH1 laptop computer that will not start.

  The system has 1 GB of RAM, (2x512MB).

  When I remove 1 stick, the system starts without a problem, if I replace it, and the other, the laptop boots also upwards. I tested the two ram slots and ram spent each time.

  The problem of the laptop does not start only seems to happen when the laptop has installed two sticks. I tried even to 2 different new corresponding sticks and still nothing until I remove 1 piece of ram.

  Everyone encountered this problem before?
  Any ideas what the problem may be.

  My only other option would be to install a single piece of 1 GB of ram, but I would really like a better option.

  Thanks in advance...

  > The system has 1 GB of RAM, (2x512MB).
  You got your laptop with these memory modules?
  Are you sure that you are using compatible RAM (DDR2-667)?

• Re: Satellite A200-1AX does not start after the BIOS update

  Hi all!

  I wanted to install XP on a Satellite A200-1AX.
  So I tried to update the Bios to the version that supports supported XP.

  When I tried to install it, crashed Vista and now the laptop won't even turn on.

  When I keep the power button pressed, the whistling fan but nothing happens.
  I think the BIOS is gone or corrupted.

  What should I do?
  Thanks in advance for any help!

  > When I keep the power button pressed, the whistling fan but nothing happens. I think the BIOS is gone or corrupted. What should I do?

  What to say to boyfriend. It seems that something was wrong during the process of updating the BIOS maybe the BIOS was not written correctly and the ROM module must be flashed again with the help of a special procedure and the tool.

  In this case, you can do anything you will need to contact the ASP in your country for a fix!

  Don t waste time and ask a technician for assistance.

  Good luck and best regards

• Satellite L300 intermittently won't start not

  My Satellite L300 intermittently does not start.

  When trendy DC, light power plug is green, when you press power button / stop power light is Orange boots for 3 seconds with fan started done 2 short beeps and then the fan stops and no other shoe.
  turn off the DC supply then plug again before may give him another chance.

  This can happen up to 20 times, sometimes around 3 or 4 attempts.
  When he wants to finally go, pressed power light power button green and all is OK.
  That means the light Orange?

  I checked for dust in the fan, used another power supply, tried friends memory and hard drive.

  The problem can occur every day, or every day.

  I left the battery in case it appeared the problem, the battery will not hold a charge very long.
  I would be grateful of any advise

  > That means Orange light?

  If power light flashes orange, it indicates the power was cut off, while the computer was in mode 'sleep'.
  But in your case I n t think that the laptop enter mode 'sleep' in your case, the power LED flashes means a hardware problem may be detected

  Perhaps your motherboard is affected
