• Satellite A200 - white screen with 3 beeps

  Hello

  My Toshiba Satellite A200 was recently gives me a white screen with 3 beeps at every start. I took it to my friend for repair and they told me that I had to take the battery out and put it so that it starts. It worked for him, but not me. I called technical support and told me it was a hardware problem with the memory or the motherboard.

  Anyone have the same problem and know what to do? I wouldn't mind not check memory myself I don't know where to start...

  Thank you

  Hi hpthinker,

  I think the support that you called is right and it s a hardware problem. Perhaps with memory or the motherboard

  The best way to fix this would be new modules of RAM because they can be easily replaced in a few minutes and are not expensive nowadays.
  Just so buy new modules of RAM in your local computer store, or ask your authorized service provider for this problem. They can offer you new RAM modules and you can test it again.

  By the way: If you have two RAM modules, test it with a module only.

• Satellite Pro A200 - black screen with a blinking cursor

  Hello

  I'm new to the forum and have a big problem.
  So, any help is welcome and appreciated.

  My Satellite Pro A200 turns black after the BIOS screen and a black screen with a blinking cursor.
  Also just as the screen goes black a beep can be heard which shows windows boot.

  I can access the toshiba Setup screen but not the installation of security mode.

  Kind regards

  Hello

  Please go into the BIOS settings and check if the HARD drive is listed there.
  The blinking cursor is a typical sign of a malfunction of the HARD drive.
  Eventually the HARD drive is dead and you need to replace it and reinstall the operating system.

  Good luck

  Hello

  To be honest, for me it looks like a Windows problem. Maybe something messed with the registry and Windows can start t more

  I think that you must restore windows recovery disk Toshiba you wrote that you have tried to load the restore disc but what happened after that? Can start the installation of recovery? If so, you should do this.

  Backup, you can do if you buy an external HARD drive enclosure. Remove the HARD drive and install in the case of HARD drive. Now you can connect to another computer.

• Re: Satellite L300 - black screen with flashing white cursor

  All of a sudden my laptop won't start more. It turns on, displays screen toshiba for a second and then goes to a black screen with a blinking white line in the upper left corner. I can't type something here! The last time I used it it was 100% very well, I have not downloaded anything so I'm very curious to what it might be.

  Help, please!

  Hi mate,

  Maybe something messed up to the top of your Windows installation and if the computer may start t more or your HARD drive becomes faulty...

  You can access the BIOS? If so, check if your HARD drive is recognized. If so I think that it of necessary to reinstall Windows. Therefore, take the Toshiba recovery disc.

• Satellite Pro P300 - 13 m - boot problem: black screen with 3 beeps

  Hello

  Satellite Pro P300 - 13 m, I bought a few weeks ago and in time, I had about 5 - 6 times the same rear screen when I tried to start the system. When he does this notebook gives 3 loud beeps (not sure what that actually means).

  When he does this I have to press the power button for 5 seconds and after several times doing this that it will show the Welcome screen toshiba... then sometimes it will automatically restart again and I get this annoying black screen again. Most of the time when I wait about 10 minutes and try to do as well the system starts as usual... Yes... very strange thing here.

  To be honest, I don't want to send the laptop for Toshiba once again, as I could use for my business...

  Then. What could this be? I've already updated the latest version of the BIOS.

  Thnx in advance

  Carl

  Hello Carl

  I have the Satellite Pro P300 (PSPC1E). I installed Windows XP Home edition and my Vista. Use the two operating systems with success and everything is OK.

  What operating system do you use?
  Have you noticed that on the first day?
  Your laptop is placed correctly on the desktop without cooling vents?
  When you start Notepad you see every time that Toshiba welcome screen?

• Satellite A200 - black screen of death

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite A200 PSAFCA-01K00J model. This model, I bought Harvey Norman in Australia, but I can't find any registration on the web site of current Toshiba or abandoned. This sux because I am looking for any bios updates available to address a recent black screen problem.

  The first time this has happened that I was able to reboot after removing the battery/cut the current to several times before its good. The next day, after an attempted works to install Kaspersky Anti-virus update the same problem... Power disconnected, removed, deleted drums (replacing the cylinder one and then the other to check the faulty ram memory cards) of ram and hard drive and then bled off residual tension with start button. Through this process several times before finally successful. I had to pass by it a few times since after restarts automatic windows updates, etc. I extracted the procedure to manually reset the bios by jumping it, but it's something I want to avoid doing this until I've exhausted all other options.

  Toshiba Satellite A200
  Model - PSAFCA-01K00J
  O/s - Vista
  Hard Drive - 160GB with 50 GB of free space remaining.
  System 32 with proccesors core duo. (intel)
  Bios Version/Date-phoenix Technology Ltd 5.20, 25/10/2007
  SMBIOS Version - 2.4

  Any idea of sourcing on the last correct bios or any other input gratefully appreciate it... :)

  > Black Screen Of Death
  What happen exactly when you start your laptop?

  By the way: I ve checked the download from Toshiba on http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/download page and can not find this old model of laptop. I don't understand that Toshiba to THE is some archives for old models like on the page of European support.

  Anyway, I don't think that BIOS is the reason for this behavior.

  Hello

  You wrote that you can access the BIOS, but have you checked if the HARD drive is recognized properly? Perhaps because the computer cannot start HDD isn't recognized then you should check this.

  If the HARD drive is recognized, I would try a Toshiba Recovery disk recovery facility. It seems that Windows isn't able to start and if you reinstall the whole system should help get rid me of this. Go to the start menu and select the CD/DVD drive as a boot device.

  Check this box!

  If you see the same on internal and external display LCD, I presume that the video card is faulty.

• Satellite X 205-SLi3 - black screen with the mobile mouse at startup

  I have a computer laptop X 205 - Sli 3 satellite, which is a little more than a month and running windows Vista. (let me know if the exact specifications make a difference)

  Yesterday morning my laptop was working fine, I arrested him at home because I need to take to work with me to get some files there. However, when I tried to turn it back on all I got was a black screen with cursor mouse mobile white dead center. I saw other posts with similar problems, but no solutions.

  Loads everything up as normal at the beginning: I get the Toshiba load screen (this allows me to make changes to the boot from there with F2, F8, F12 or, but none seems to have no effect) and I get the little green loading bar of Microsoft just before the screen blinks a few times and then turns black except for the white mouse. The touchpad, Capslock and scroll lock keys * are * admissible, but the function keys and Ctrl + Alt + Delete to do * not * work. There is no way to stop the laptop at this point without maintaining the power button.

  I tried to start in safe mode, safe mode with networking, safe mode with command prompt, only to get exactly the same result after Windows loading bar. (only a lower resolution on this beautiful Virgin high-def screen mouse cursor). I activated the boot record, nothing, I tried to start with the "last known good configuration", nothing.

  I tried windows repair options: repair system, System Restore (it * was * a windows update just before restore point in my laptop screwed up and I m wondering if that has something to do with it because it was the first time the computer was turned off since the auto update installed... but get an older restore point does not help) , as well as the windows memory diagnostic tool. Everything is displayed normally but still black screen after the loading bar Microsoft...

  I also tried the debug mode, and directory services restore mode just for the heck of it - each time the black screen of death.

  I even put in the Toshiba recovery disc and put my laptop to boot from the CD rather than the HD (it gives me the same options by pressing F8 and go to repair are starting only I didn't have to put my admin password)

  The only thing I can think that I n t done is format my whole hard drive, I know that this is not always a solution, and I prefer to keep all my school and work files if possible. Fortunately I am able to get into the command prompt BACK and some of the most important things am copy on a USB key, but I'll still probably lose all my programs and larger files.

  Someone had a similar problem?
  If so, what was the solution?
  I would call all technical support, but I won't have time until after the new year to spend on the phone and I have a feeling that their solution will be to format and use the recovery disc.

  Man, such an expensive machine and then all this work of wouldn because of some software sh... So, if you have backed up your most important files, then, I would _recommend_ you to recover your machine. Won´t solve you anything just trying to find the error, believe me, you'll go nuts.

  Just put the recovery in the drive and start the process of "delete-all-my-programs-but-protect-my-nerves-and-make-everything-OK".

• All black screen with a mouse that is visible on the Satellite

  I have a toshiba satellite laptop 2 years old, and it works pretty well so far (battery replaced in July).

  Yesterday, I was using it as usual, then close the lid and went for a shower.
  20 minutes later, I came back, it works again, and he went to a black screen with a visible mouse.
  However, none of the keys produce any response and the mouse not to slam.

  I tried several times it works and stop.
  Twice he went to a white screen with all the icons of bottom bar of size reduced and grouped in the upper corner, as well as a few photos, that I had just downloaded.

  A few forums I saw answer other users have suggested using the vista disk to restart, but I'm on study abroad for a year in the United States and thus didn't drive.
  In addition, these users reported a collision until it happened.

  I'll keep on at the current time to turn off in the hope that it will come back to life after a stop appropriate through loss of power.

  I would be really grateful for any suggestions you can give me, thank you.

  Hello

  I put t know which model of laptop you have, but the first thing that you should try the new installation of the OS.
  You don t have any installation disc that's pity
  However, you can try to start Notepad using a Windows live CD.
  This system is called BartPE or WinPE
  Google for it

  This don t systems must be installed on the HARD drive, it works like a linux live cd you boot using such a disc and a few sec later you get access to the HARD disk

  I think it is good idea to check if the laptop is ok

• Satellite A660 boots up to the black screen with blinking cursor not upper left

  My new Satellite A660-10W sometimes (not always), when turned on, boots up to a black screen with a flashing cursor in the top left. If I stop by pressing the power button, it stops immediately. I then wait a few seconds and press the power button again and then it usually starts very well.

  Could it be updated during this process and I'll be more patient (usually wait a few minutes) before shutting down when this happens?

  Usually something like that shouldn't happen. Satellite A660 is no different from all the other models and OS must be loaded shortly after Toshiba welcome screen appears.
  Do you use your laptop with factory settings or you have changed something?

• Satellite A100-906 - black screen with a cursor

  Hi all

  There is a problem with my Satellite A100-906:

  After having lit - Toshiba page appears - that the loading Windows XP page - more than a black screen with a cursor (the touchpad moveable)... and nothing more.

  That's what I tried without success:

  Detach the battery for over an hour
  Start the computer with battery detached
  Change the default BIOS settings
  Start in Safe Mode - the same black screen with 'safe mode' legends in the 4 corners of the screen.

  Please help with this.

  Hello

  According to your message, the screen of the laptop BIOS is visible and also the Windows screen.
  I think that it s not a hardware problem but a software problem.
  Maybe your operating system is confusing until you think about using the Toshiba Recovery disk and to restore the system?
  I mean you already tried the passage without danger and she didn't so in my opinion, the next step should be the new installation of the OS
  Check it out!
