Satellite A30 does not start

I hope someone could help. My A30 does not start although DC is green and the battery charges (amber). There is no beep or Flash. I removed the battery and tried to start on the current. Did not work. (75% frustration level) Heeeelpppp

Hi Serkan,

Do you see the Toshiba "splash" screen when you try to turn on your A30? If this isn't the case, then it is likely that your motherboard has failed, and you will need to refer to an authorized Service partner.

If you see the 'splash' of Toshiba screen, but your portable computer does not load its operating system, then it is likely that there is a problem with your hard drive.

Kind regards

  • Satellite A30 does not start with the USB device connected at boot time

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A30 and sometimes it does not start.
    After turning on, not even the BIOS starts.
    even if sometimes the BIOS starts, but the OS does not load.

    I figured out that its related to USB devices connected at boot time.
    If no USB devices are connected, it starts without a problem.
    Even if the start-up is suspended, as soon as you unplug start it BIOS USB devices.
    Its ok to connect USB devices later, once the system has started.
    I disabled "removable devices boot" and "network startup."
    just in case, but it makes no difference.

    BIOS is version the most recent (1.70) and it comes up with all kinds of USB devices.
    printer, mouse and (self-powered) external USB hard disk.

    Is this a known issue?
    There is no known workaround solution?

    Hello

    I put t know why this happens, but it has to do with the BIOS.
    The same thing happened on my old laptop. I couldn't start my unit while the USB printer has been turned on and connected.
    The only solution is to disconnect the external USB device during the boot process.

    RSY you should check if the order of boot in the BIOS has been on the HARD drive first.

    Thanks for your time,

    You have this problem if you use modules or only the new module?

    If you only use the new module, the case is clear. The new module is defective or is not compatible with the laptop.
    I think you should get back on the computer dealer and request a new. Maybe you can get a Kingston module because I have only good experience with this production.

    If you use both modules, they are not compatible. You should only use the modules with the same specifications.

    [email protected]

    Hi Dave,.

    A CMOS failure battery will not prevent your laptop to start. You would still have a default set of the BIOS settings that allow you to start at the point where you can set the values you wanted.

    A normal symptom of a failed CMOS battery, it's that the box will ask you to set the date/time of the BIOS.

  • 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 C650 does not start - error PXE - M0F

    Just bought a Satellite C650, get it home and my son decided to stop the whole upward as he ran.

    Now, we get the error below:

    Check the connection of the cable!
    PXE - M0F: Exit Intel PXE ROM
    No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key.

    We received no drives, nor a manual with adequate instructions and can't find anything on the web for help.
    Toshiba closes for the day.

    Hoping that this forum could give me an idea.

    Hello

    PXE error is displayed because the laptop has attempted to boot from LAN.
    Why it does not start from the HARD drive but LAN switches?
    I think the HARD drive is defect.
    Perhaps its also not recognized in BIOS.

    Switch on and press F2. This allows you to access the BIOS where you could check if the HARD drive is recognized. I guess it must be mentioned on the first page.
    If it s not there, then it means that the HARD drive is dead and must be replaced.

    I assume that the warranty is still valid; Therefore, you should get in touch with Toshiba ASP in your country for replacement.

  • 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!

  • Satellite A350 does not start

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A350 (about a year and a half) who does not start correctly. This has happened after that the laptop was left on until the battery has failed. The button of the keyboard and the power LED lights up, but the screen stays black when I try to turn it on. I use Windows Vista.

    The machine continues usually to make a sound whirring for a few seconds before it stops making noise (the fan and the HD). The screen flickers sometimes a lighter black on a screen for less than a second. In addition, the cooling fan has sometimes continued to operate after you stop all the rest.

    Another problem is that when if it is turn on and go to the Toshiba screen, odd lines will fade to the screen, and finally the screen eventually white/blue. On the other hand, sometimes it turn on and act as if nothing had happened. In these times, placing sleep mode will be to not be a wheat to turn back on.

    I tried removing the battery, using only the battery, fully charge the battery and using the laptop with barely any load from the battery and it doesn't change anything.

    I would really appreciate any kind of lead as to what may be wrong with the poor.

    Hello

    Generally speaking, it is always difficult to say something on these sometimes mistakes because it s not clear and can be caused by all parties, but at the moment I doubt that this problem is software partner

    You see something on a screen when the internal screen stays black?

    In the worst case, it s that a hardware malfunction and that would mean you need help from an ASP to check what part is affected, but if your laptop is under warranty, the repair is free.

  • 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 M100 does not START

    Good, everyone

    I have 100 M Satellite
    _when I turn it on it makes 8 signals and not booting not delivered.
    I can't boot from the BIOS RECOVERY cd too.
    It works but does not start.

    HRR, RAM, all components are ok I checked.
    WHAT signals DOES 8 mean?

    Hello

    What do you mean with 8 signals?
    Sorry, but your statement is fairly general. This type of signals that you noticed?
    Audio (beep) and visual signals (flashing LED)?

    I assume you noticed flashing signals. Am I right about that?

  • Satellite M50 does not start, go back to the screen with different start modes

    My Satellite M50-130 does not start correctly. When you turn it on, it goes to a black DOS screen, saying: "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this. "It offers me different start modes: Safe Mode, with networking and command prompt. Last good Configuration known; and start Windows normally.

    I tried all the 5 options, gets the commissioning insofar as the Toshiba screen, but then with all the options, it returns to the initial screen offering the 5 modes of starting. Same thing happens when laptop works again.

    The only recent software change, I've done was an update to Norton AntiVirus/Internet Security and I suspect that Norton is at least part of my problem, see history below. I know it's the Toshiba support site, but I tried Norton so many times without success, I gave up. Plus, I'm no expert at all, so I can't be sure that it is really the source of all my sorrows. All advice welcome!

    The performance of my laptop has deteriorated seriously in the last two months. She is extremely slow, and cleaning of malware and unwanted General does not help. It began right after that I renewed the license of Norton last year and upgraded to the 2007 version. The worst downturns are always connected to direct upcoming Norton upgrade programs. I disabled the live upgrade, but programs always come to the top, and I can't stop them, a popup tells me that they are protected.

    Wireless internet is also very capricious, even if another computer on the same network works fine.
    During the last week, I had to relax a little internet security settings (from "moderate to severe" to "low to medium") because after an other update of Norton AntiVirus, I couldn't access to interactive Web sites.
    It is perhaps a coincidence because Norton AntiVirus comes with updates at least twice a week - but what else could be the problem?

    My apologies for the long rant, I am grateful for all the advice!
    Thank you
    I have.

    Hello

    I think the only way to make your system works correctly again is to restore with the cdrom of onboard catering. Simply manage to save your data from your hard drive (the best way would be to put your machine's HARD drive in a USB - HDD enclosure and copy important data on another computer), then wipe the system completely off you hdd.

    After that, the system must run again...

  • Re: Satellite L30 does not start after adding another stick of 1 GB memory

    I bought 1 GB PC4200 533 MHZ DDR2 SODIMM memory module for my Toshiba Satellite L30 - 10v (PSL33E) to make it 2 GB. After you have added the 1 GB modules Satellite L30 wouldn't start. With only 1 GB, that it starts ok, with the other 1 GB origianal only boots ok. (The two modules are ZCE6 430 - K4T1G163QB Samsung 1 GB PC4200 533 MHZ DDR2)

    The two modules of 1 GB boot not together. I noticed that many others have had this problem. (please see
    This [t-22984]. post)
    On this forum, someone bought the CT12864AC53E memory module which works, however I can't find this on the site of Crucial.
    I've heard other purchase the sticks of memory CT572238 and CT572234 and have the same problems.

    Memory Advisor says determinative buy the CT572234 memory sticks.

    I have also updated the bios to V3.10, still does not start with the two modules.

    I'm ready to buy 2 new modules, but what 2x1GB memory works?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated...

    > 1 GB strips boot not together. I noticed that many others have had this problem.

    For me it s case;
    The two modules don't work together
    Seems the modules are not compatible there is only one solution. Replacement of RAM!

    Try other RAM modules.
    I bought a few modules from Kingston and made good experience
