Satellite A200 is not booting

I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 laptop computer and can't run. The system itself is about a year. I just came in this morning and my laptop was on the second screen when the system is started and now that's going to go.

When I press on the power button it takes a lot more time then he does usually for the monitor the screen Toshiba (probably about 10 seconds). Then he stay on it for 5 to 10 seconds and then it goes to the next screen where it shows the rights of author and media RXE Roma or other...
I would really appreciate if someone could provide an overview of this. My computer knowledge is thin so to speak clearly please lol.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jackson

Depending on your message, Notepad starts, but the installed operating system does not start
There may be something with the HARD drive or with the operating system on the disk HARD questions are possible, and that's why I would recommend restoring the operating system using the Toshiba Recovery CD. You can try to use the Toshiba Recovery CD and could attempt to reinstall the system.

If this is not possible, the HARD drive is ok and there was just something wrong with the software on the HARD disk.
But if the new installation of the operating system is not possible, then chances are that your HARD drive is dead and should be replaced.

Good bye

  • Satellite A200 does not boot, no lights all based

    I have a Satellite A200 series and yesterday it stopped automatically and will be without rebooting, wil does not start... no blue ligts... nothing.

    What could be the problem and where should I look?

    The laptop is 17 months old.

    > I have a Satellite A200 series and yesterday it stopped automatically and will be without rebooting, wil does not start... no blue ligts... nothing.

    Do you mean that the laptop has stopped automatically?
    Usually books turns off automatically due to a higher internal temperature
    Maybe this is the reason why laptop computer exploded

    Now, everything may be possible, it may be a RAM, the CPU, the motherboard problem
    It is hard to say what role might malfunction

    I think the laptop technician should check the hardware parts and then you will get a few details on the question

    Good luck

    Hi all
    I need help with my laptop, please...

    My problem is,
    I have a notebook by Satellite A200, and the operating system is Vista, am not satisfied with Vista at all so I bought a Windows XP bootable CD... When I tried to install it it gave me a massage that he could not recognize my hard drive...

    I checked the Web from Toshiba site and downloaded the files from the storage for XP Manager as someone told me it could be the SATA problem and you must apply on your hard disk for XP will see it?

    The question is:
    How much is real?
    How can I install XP on my PC now?
    can I install Storage Manager while I'm on Vista and then install XP?
    I put the Storage Manager on a CD and boot from it?

    am really confused because when I extracted the Storage Manager and view the files I found the setup button and a few other folders, and I do not know what those to use because I don't know what is my hard drive... and any help will be much appreciated

  • Satellite A200 - I can boot from PCI express card?

    I have a laptop A200.

    I recently bought a PCI expresscard HD. Many people have asked this question already on many sites and regarding several different brands and models of laptops. According to anadtech and other techys the only way to do an ExpressCard hd is updated the BIOS. During the installation of Windows it says that it canoe on the device because the BIOS is not able to boot from it.

    Toshiba creates a new BIOS to allow starting the expresscard hd or not Toshiba have a laptop model that will allow already, as im thinking of buying a new laptop but only if this option is available.

    There someone using windows vista/xp knows a way round.

    Hello

    As far as I know it s not possible to boot from PCI express card on Satellite A200.
    In addition these books where you can boot from this slot are not known to me. Only the options HDD, CD/DVD, USB and network, but all that s.

    In addition, I put t know what you mean with PCI expresscard HD.
    Is what exactly?

  • Satellite A200 - AH1 Wont Boot up

    I have a Satellite A200-AH1 (PSAE0C-AH106C), the desire for portable power on but the screen remains empty. I tried to take out the battery and let it sit. I also tried reinstalling the RAM and HARD drive.
    I tried to boot with no RAM at all and didn't have a beep error. For any help or suggestion would be appreciated. BTW, the warranty has expired 1 month ago (go figure!).

    Thank you

    Hello

    My first idea was to remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter and wait for about 30 min.
    But it seems you have already tested. Is this good?

    Hmm. It's really a difficult situation if the workaround solution described above will not be useful or didn't help so I put t see otherwise as to contact the Toshiba ASP and check the laptop.
    I mean that this problem could be due to parts on the motherboard.
    Then we can talk about what could be the issue, but only verification of the laptop could make a 100% response.

  • Satellite A200 does not illuminate

    Hello!

    I have a Toshiba satellite a200, it lights, it gives me a black screen and 1 long and 2 short beeps, the only lights that light up are the witness of load and the light of the HARD drive, what's the problem?

    I emptied the power from the motherboard and replaced the RAM.

    Well, usually its nothing unusual for the laptop to do one or two short beeps during the startup process.
    But if the laptop will beep and the system does not have a serious hardware problem may exist.

    I'm afraid there is a problem of serious motherboard and no doubt that replacing the mobo would help you to solve this problem.

  • Satellite A200-27U not wakes up after hibernation when you open the lid

    I just bought a new Satellite A200 27U which goes a lot so far.
    However, I have configured in hibernation mode when I close the lid.

    I can't resume automatically hibernate when I open the lid.
    I have to press the power button.
    Is this normal, should resume automatically?

    If yes how to do it do?

    It is the same with my Satellite P200 and I think it's normal. It is the same on my second laptop preinstalled WXP.
    Putting into service is not automatically and after you open the laptop I have to press power button / stop too.
    But it is not so problematic. What do you think?

    You use Windows XP Home or Vista edition?

  • Satellite A200 is not charging the battery

    Hello everyone!

    I apologize for my English; It is not the main language.
    Somehow that I can take my Satellite A200 and Assembly are not correctly open the cable (don't know what the cable, apparently the power of the screen), it has been between the keyboard and the top panel, but I forgot and put it between the motherboard and the top panel and... when all assembled and understood that most of the burned... cables precisely burned coil... cord I immediately pulled out but the battery remained in it... in general not very well turned out ;)))

    As a result of what it led to: first is sometimes not visible when you move the keyboard and the touchpad... to eliminate the need to restart the car... then, in principle, sometimes a laptop is not included, i.e. of tanning power of the lamp and all... in this case to remove the worst... and finally, power cable the battery is more responsible... i.e. After all this, I discharge the battery and now the laptop only works on the power cable.

    Question: is the problem of battery or motherboard?

    Your English is hard to understand, but it seems that you disassembled the laptop and some cables connected in the wrong way.
    Then something is charred and now you have some problems with the battery, etc.

    I think that there is a hardware problem, who knows what you did in the past
    The fact is that you did something wrong... it is always a risk if someone without a technician experience disassemble the laptop.

    In your case, I recommend you contact someone who knows how to check the hardware specifications, you need professional help

    If don t be worried about some sarcasm here ;)

    Back to your question, in fact, it looks like a malfunction of the accumulator and in my opinion, you should test another battery, but before you would get in touch with Toshiba ASP, you must check if your BIOS is updated the BIOS should be updated later say I don't very well if this will change anything but it s worth a try m

  • Satellite A200 plays not only will not play DVD

    I'm a first time user on this forum so Hello to everyone.

    My problem is that my Satellite A200 of (duration Vista) won't play DVD. When I try I get the following message: "Windows Media Player cannot play video DVDs. You may need to adjust your Windows display settings. Open display settings in Control Panel, and then try to lower your screen resolution and color quality settings. Needless to say, I've played a bit with the appropriate settings and there was no change in the situation. In a response published in another forum, someone suggested that I ditch Windows Media Player in favor of something better. I thought that the alternative program, he has proposed would be free, but it wasn't. In any case, I tried to play the DVD with other programs and received the same basic message. Is not a thing of Windows Media Player, it's a thing of DVD playback. In addition, it does not matter if WMP isn't the BEST DVD player - I just want to play DVD! I wrote to one of support from Microsoft customer care and they wrote in saying that it wasn't their problem. They consider it a "question of material". I don't buy that.

    Just a bit of history - I bought the computer second hand a good friend. Now, I don't ever remember playing a DVD on the computer, which somewhat confuses things for the following reasons. Just after I bought the computer, which is running Vista, I installed MP3 player software which has expressed its disagreement with the CD/DVD drive drivers. What I think is a quite common problem. This time Microsoft representatives were happy to help me and told me to delete two lines of registry keys. That fixed the problem to a certain extent, because now the reader a) still existed and b) could read and play CDs. But when I tried to play a DVD I got the above message.

    So as I said, I never even remember reading a DVD on the drive, I don't know if the problems are related to the problem of shock of MP3 software, although it seems unlikely that they are related. Finally, the computer has been less than a year when I bought it and in all other respects, it has been very well (unbearable slowness of Vista by derogation). Unfortunately the extended warranty is now sold out so I hope this isn't a hardware problem. The fact is that, given that I've never even played a DVD on this thing, and he plays the CD without any problem (in addition, the drive can READ DVD, he can tell me all the chapters that are on a DVD and play the files that he - she won't just play movies), I don't think it's material. I think that there is a current bug.

    If someone could shed some light on this matter, I would be eternally grateful!

    Concerning

    Hi mate

    I totally agree with you. VLC Player is more than recommended!

  • Webcam on Satellite A200 does not work with Windows Media Encoder

    Material: TOSHIBA Satellite A200 (1GH) with built-in Chicony webcam.

    PROBLEM:
    When I use the software Chicony webcam - it works allright (video recorded normally).
    BUT: when I have Chicony software from Windows Media Encoder (preinstalled with Vista) - when I try to select the webcam as input device - and closing the error reported is "the device is not ready".

    This error also repeated if I select for driver webcam Microsoft instead of native driver Chicony webcam.

    Hello

    Download the latest driver Chicony and the software for the Toshiba page and install it.
    Don t forget to remove the old version.

    In addition, if you get the error message like webcam is used by another application or "device is not ready you must start the msconfig and should turn off and turn on webcam chicony and process service.»

  • 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
